Ok I'll try to engage in a regional discussion with you. Do I believe what I claim to believe? Provide evidence for your conclusion please.

You believe everyone believes the opposite of what they claim they believe so by your own assessment you actually believe that people believe what they claim to believe. It's like when moral relativist claim there are no moral absolutes. Hilarious Trolling ^^^^^^

Proof that they believe the opposite of what they claim to believe? So I believe the bible says works complete faith therefore faith alone can't be true because if it was sufficient for salvation it wouldnt need completion. So you're saying I actually believe in faith alone? Is that correct...

I have no idea what you're talking about. Providing an example of what you mean might help us all.

Then James is a liar. So is Paul as well huh?! 1 Thessalonians 3:10. If faith is all that's necessary why does it need completing. Again volume does not equal truth

If its true that works come from faith then atheists couldn't do good works. That's silly. Works done by atheists arent salvific but works done in faith are. That's why James says faith is completed by works and why faith alone is not sufficient for salvation. If faith was it wouldn't need...

Every single one of your posts is volume equals truth. If faith alone was sufficient it wouldn't need completion. James is clear on that point. Now you either know what sufficient means or you don't. Your intellect shouldn't be a casualty of your faith.

I agree but our daily actions are choices not the result of faith. As an example if feeding the hungry is a good work, but good works are only a result of faith then atheists wouldn't be able to feed the hungry. That's silly. Good works done with faith are salvific but good works alone like...

But God's want doesn't take away our free will. Faith doesn't cause works. If faith alone was sufficient it wouldn't need completion by works.

I agree but people here seem to think works are a "result" of faith. Works are a choice they dont appear simply because of faith.

It never collapses. How many times does something have to be said in Scripture in order for it to be the truth? You believe stuff simply because someone one told you to believe it. You've been trained to believe volume of content means you're right. That's not only bad logic it's very bad...

I never claimed works cause salvation. This is the problem when talking to you people. You reply to what is in your head and not what is actually said. Maybe try reading what I actually wrote rather than what you think I wrote. Some people hear or see the word "works" and canned rote...

How saved people live is a choice. If faith alone was sufficient it wouldn't need completion as James teaches us. If works are not a choice and are a result of faith why would Paul have had to urge christians to do good works?

If i might, your question seem to assume some things. The state requires a marriage license for a marriage to be civilly recognized and the state dictates who can perform valid marriages. The state accepts marriages performed by clergy as valid. So the license isnt required by God but it is for...

There has to an conflict if James has to tell us works complete faith. If faith alone was sufficient it wouldn't need completion. Are people afraid to look up what sufficient means?
