Works Complete Faith?

Paul says he boasts in the Cross of Christ alone (instead of in his Jewishness, etc)--he doesn't mean the wood, he means "the righteous deeds of Christ, and the benefit that affords me".

Works Complete Faith?


The Moment God, stepped inside and Entered into Your heart, He, "Continued" the [Works] that He began in You and will keep Working in You, until He Resurrects You.


All we are doing, by doing anything, outside of getting the Sense I should do this, I should tell this person something about God that uplifts, I should feed the person, maybe I need to give this one here some money and say, God, Loves You...is...allowing God, inside of us, to do His Works, by giving us the feeling we should give, or help, or say something that reflects God.

We really are not doing any work at all.

Just like Jesus, the Father dwelled in Him, doing the works, even though, it was Jesus Who looked like He was doing the Works [He is the Exact Image of God...what God does...Jesus was doing because He is God]...

but in us, God dwelling in us, is we get a feeling, idea to help, do something. because GOD, wants to WORK, but He, wants You to be the VESSEL He works through!

i've never done a thing for Jesus!

Jesus, inside of me, gave the ideas to do what HE wanted to do. and it got done because I allowed it and obeyed. it looked like me doing it. but it was Jesus doing what He wanted to do Himself.


the Faith part: when i get the idea from Jesus to give money, i know the idea is from Jesus. so i give because my Faith says this is of God and i will obey and SEE the Miracle in the end.

Paul planted many Churches, but never saw them grow like John did.

I suggest if we look at the context of Galatians, it's people adding circumcision and works of the old law to the law of Christ. Although Paul is a Jew and circumcised, he counts it as rubbish and only boasts in the law of Christ (cross). We either follow the flesh or we follow Christ.
It's about our works.
5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
I don't see how we can squeeze Jesus's righteous deeds in there. It's about our walk.

Have you ever considered that you weren't really saved the first time? That what it speaks of in Hebrews 4...hearing that was not mixed with faith...could have been the case with you?

2 Corinthians 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Romans 14:
10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

1 Corinthians 3:
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

None of that suggests that we will "give an account for rewards or lack of rewards." We will be rewarded (or not) depending on our works, and we will answer for all that we do, but we will not answer for rewards or lack thereof.

As one who often argues about the importance of the words used in Scripture, you should be more careful that you get the words right.

You don't know Scripture. You've proven that in our many conversations. Your opinion on the matter is not my concern.

We give an account for our labor, our works. We will be rewarded accordingly, or suffer the loss of rewards.

I've laid out my views, you've expressed your disagreement/disapproval. Your reasoning is unconvincing, so I remain at my positions.
Not interested in hearing all your emotions.

We cannot lose something we never had. We won't receive rewards and then lose them.

Lol Paul literally says "by which I was crucified to the world, and the world to me"!

Apparently your obvious logical fallacies aren't your concern either.

I'm not sure what you're saying but I will chew on it.
Based on the context it looks like Paul is talking about the law & circumcision ending with the cross.

13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation.

How does this sound for convincing:

Were you with Jesus on the cross?
No. He was there ALONE. He saves us BY HIMSELF.

He gets all the glory.....ALONE.

If you're interested in the topic, shoot.
Your emotion-filled tantrums, I'm not interested in.

The Lord has rewards that he wants to give us. We can suffer loss of those rewards through bad labor. Receive vs suffer loss.

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

No emotion here, but you appear to have trouble controlling yours.

If you have an interest in the topic, interact.
If not, then please do not add irrelevant words.

I am interested in the topic. I wouldn't have replied otherwise. Calling out logical fallacies is an important part of discussion to keep things on track.
