Well, at least it's on the very strait and narrow path. On a more serious note, that is were you are wrong. Is it God's good pleasure for so many people to be sent to hell? For we know so very few actually make it to heaven. We have some part to play in matters of life. We need to send forth...

Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Mat 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. What you say can limit God, just as what you believe can do the same.

Mat 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. Mat 8:13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour. Do you still think we have nothing to do with...

Until you act on the gospel of Jesus Christ, that reality has not manifested. We might have been predestined, but we still are not pre-born again.

What you don't believe, restricts God's actions in your life.

God will not work, until we put action to our faith in His promises. If the word of God is not in our hearts first, then how can we speak it in faith? No, not earning, MAKING our salvation. It is not us, but the word of God that does the work in us, but we MUST speak forth the word of God...

And you are saying, we are saved before we believe. Not so. The bible is very clear. Believe, confess said belief, and then you are saved, according to Romans 10:10.

I can do through Christ, means just that, I can do through Christ. YOU are the one placing the limits on God, NOT God. "ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH, BE IT DONE UNTO YOU".

Thayer Definition: 1) to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction 1a) one (from injury or peril) 1a1) to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health 1b1) to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to...

Not even close. They are entirely different. I agree, one cannot get saved through general good works/acts/deeds. Not stay saved based on the same. Yet it is clear, we must act on our faith, BEFORE God will act on His promise. Do you believe the gospel of Jesus Christ? You say within yourself...

Call it what you like, but it very much does agrees with scripture. Again, you are either not seeing what I have been saying or ignoring it, and I think it's the former, like so many others on CC. Can we agree, there is only ONE kind of God like faith? Jesus said in Mark 11:22, "...have the...

What exactly are you talking about? It's difficult to respond to generalizations.

I believe I said something similar to that. Only, the righteous don't need to be vindicated or acquitted, do they? Paul clearly says, one is righteous WHEN they believe.

Paul says differently. Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. That says, salvation happens or occurs WHEN they confess with their mouth. No, believing causes one to confess good or bad, to proclaim or denounce...

But of course, I think the scripture I used speaks for itself. Jesus supplies us ALL our need. It is WE who either ARE, or CAN DO, ALL or ANY THINGS, [AT LEAST TO THEM THAT BELIEVE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE] THROUGH CHRIST JESUS, which STRENGTHENS, ENABLES, EMPOWERS, and MAKES me STRONG.

Again, Paul and James are not speaking of the same kind of works. Both Jesus and the author of Hebrews explains WHAT faith IS. Where both Paul and James is explaining HOW faith works. Your idea of what faith is seems to be like that of others on CC. A general acting or likeness of what other...

Php 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

As I stated before, James is not talking about the same works as Paul. You are only seeing one kind of work, which is the kind anyone can do without God's help or assistance. But can you drive a car with an internal combustion engine only, no hybrids or electric cars, without any gas in the...

No, not any act, but one that agrees with what you believe. Answer me this. When you heard and believed the gospel, did you confess Jesus as your Lord and savior. That single act of confession, if you spoke it in faith, from your heart, then that act of confessing Jesus, saved you. Paul clearly...

I have looked at many verses both in the old testament and in the new, concerning righteousness, and I must say, you are correct, and I stand corrected. The law does indeed bring death. Paul said in Romans 7:9-11. Rom 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin...
