Not By Works

Where do you come up with this stuff?

The only process in faith is to empty your own beliefs, your own thoughts and your own abilities, and coming to the point you actually Trust God is able to do what he promises he will do.

Faith is the SUBSTANCe of things HOPED for. The EVIDENCE of things not seen.

1. Any faith in my ability is flawed. Because I am flawed.
2. I can see my work. If faith is in my ability, again, it is not faith at all
3. My hope is what God promised, Eternal life to all who believe and according to paul God not only promised that hope. He can not lie.

Now that you seem to understand the question , what is your understanding ?

Or was that your attempt to deflect ?

Yes I do "hate" false teachers why, because they lead people away from the True Gospel. You sure like to dish out the complaints but oh my if someone disagrees with you.

Vines Greek dictionary : pisteuo or the verb form of Faith that was mistranslated into the English language by using the words believe , believer , and believing , is correctly defined as : " a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender . Producing a full acknowledgement of God's revelation of truth ."

Your understanding is a victim of a mistranslation .

But isn't the goal to not sin, to go and sin no more? To "Strive" to walk even as He walked? Isn't the "Path" faith and belief in the God of the Bible regardless of the religious traditions of the land? Are we not to "strive" to walk even as He walked. To "run the race" to win the race?

Will not the Father help His children who slip and fall when they strive to be "Doers of His Word" and not just hearers only?? But what of those children who outright reject the Fathers Words? Are there examples of how He feels about them?

"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Lawlessness)

Do you even know what GRACE is by the biblical Definition?

You received FROM GOD as a Free GIFT, what you CANNOT EARN, and DO NOT DESERVE.

Obedience is PART OF THE LOVE that GOD has the HOLY SPIRIT sowed into the Fertile Soil In Our Hearts.

OBEDIENCE NEVER HAS BEEN PART OF SALVATION.



In Rev. 13:8,
HE "SAVED" US, is in the Aorist Tense, which implies it was for all TIME.

Here is the Definition from the Blue Letter Bible.

The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. There is no direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations.

WEll lets see

Eph 2: 8-9 Faith

According to strongs complete expository dictionary

1. Pistis (noun) (πίστις, 4102), “faith,” has the secondary meaning of “an assurance or guarantee, e.g., Acts 17:31; by raising Christ from the dead, God has given “assurance” that the world will be judged by Him (the kjv margin, “offered faith” does not express the meaning). Cf. 1 Tim. 5:12, where “faith” means “pledge.” See belief, faith, fidelity.

2. pisteuo (verb) (πιστεύω, 4100), “to entrust,” or, in the passive voice, “to be entrusted with,” is rendered “to commit to one’s trust,” in Luke 16:11; 1 Tim. 1:11; “to be put in trust with,” 1 Thess. 2:4, kjv (rv, “to be intrusted”).


Strongs dictionary of Greek and Hebrew words.

Justification means to be seen by the Father as " just like Christ ."

Sanctification means to be separated from . The best example of sanctification is in Rom 7:15-21 where Paul states when he does what he does not want to do , it's not him doing it , but sin dwelling in me doing it .

Both of these are a result of a continually surrendered life as defined in the Vines Greek dictionary .

You do realize that is the word for word definition of the Greek word pisteuo out of the Vines Greek dictionary ?

Are you saying that Greek dictionarys definition is a false gospel ?

And what are your qualifications to say the Vines is wrong and you are right ?

It's the same as the Strongs and Vines . I given them both multiple times .

You have built your understanding on the mistranslated words believe believer , and believing . No such words in the Greek. Every person here on this site is probably been taken onto the wide path by this deception .

Justification means declaired innocent or found no guilty. It happens because of redemption (the cross) and not because of works.

And your defenition is made up. Nice try, But no cigar.

You think you can justifiy yourself. Your under law. Plain-and simple. And good luck being justified by the law..

Try the New Strongs Expanded with cross references from Thayer's and brown , driver ,Briggs .

And the Vines Expository .

Strongs : " pisteuo means NOT just to believe . "

Vines : " pisteuo is a personal surrender to Him and a life inspired by such surrender . Producing a full acknowledgement of God's revelation of truth ."

The translators are the ones that added a word , by no fault of their own . There just isn't a verb form of the noun Faith on the English language .

If I were wrong , the words believe , believer , and believing , would be corresponding verbs to the noun " Faith ." But they are not! They are corresponding verbs to the noun " belief ."

So if you are right , there should never be the word " Faith " in the NT , it should be the word " Belief " .

Is the light going on yet ?

You won't find a more accurate definition of those two words .

Other than google , what qualifications do you have to correct nyones understanding ?

GIVE US YOUR UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT QUOTING FROM YOUR STRONG's OR VINE's OF THE WORDS JUSTIFICATION and SANCTIFICATION. WE suspect You are the ONE who has mistranslated the words, and misinterpreted the verses, containing them.

Just so you know, THAT IS ONE TIME.

Titus 3:10 (NIV)
10 Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him.

Why is EVERY bible translation wrong? EVERY SINGLE ONE.
You dont think they KNEW what the words meant? A bit better than YOU?

The arrogance is unbelievable.
