Read what it says, because the scripture says just the opposite of what you say. 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? James 2:21 JLB

Please stop misrepresenting what I post. I have never represented self righteousness. I have given scripture after scripture to validate the obedience of faith. Example: And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For...

Exactly. Example: And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well.” But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, “Be of good cheer...

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for...

Why would you say such a thing? This couldn't be further from the truth. justified by works 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? James 2:21

Read the context. Paul is teaching the Jews, that righteousness is through faith, not by the works of the law, that it can be earned. By demonstrating to the Jews, through the example of their father according to the flesh, whom the Jews all respected and honored, he could bring about the...

I have never heard anyone teach what I teach about faith, and how faith operates. Not by works that earn Not by the works of the law Not by good works But faith works by obedience. Which is why Paul called it the obedience of faith. But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the...

Absoloutly false. I have reconciled what James and Paul both taught about works. James was teaching the "work" or "action" obedience of faith, while Paul was teaching that justification can not be earned by working. Very Simple. You see the word works and think all works are the same...

Father according to the flesh, refers to Abraham being the natural father to the nation of Israel. What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does...

Yes, please take your own advise to reconcile what the Holy Spirit is teaching us, through both Paul as well as James.

Please post the scripture and context, that refers to your claim so we can examine the context of which works Paul is referring to. We all no that no one is justified by the works of the law. We all agree, that a person can not work to earn justification. We all know that a person can not...

The only way the principle of faith works, is by obedience. Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? James 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works Not the works of the law of Moses Not the work that earns a wage Not good works...

Yes my true colors as a true believer. You on the other hand have shown us you don’t understand faith and how faith works. But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of...

First of all, I don't use the phrase "lose salvation". Secondly. it's about a person departing from the faith, which is the substance of our salvation. So let's review so foundational principles about faith: what faith means, and who faith functions, or operates. Now faith is the substance...

Please show us what the Gospel is that Jesus preached. JPT

Please answer the question. You havent explained anything. I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world... 1 Corinthians 5:9-10 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with...

That's just it, your not harmoning scripture with scripture. Your reading into scripture what your preconceived idea is, which is called eisegesis. Eisegesis. ... While exegesis is the process of drawing out the meaning from a text in accordance with the context and discoverable meaning of its...

You tried to "expalin away" what was said by twisting it. Can you simply read what Paul plainly said - I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world... 1 Corinthians 5:9-10 I wrote...
