    Saved by faith alone?

    You can do anything you choose but those who have broken down the word in universities and studied far beyond the normal believer have made the conclusion to that meaning and I just happen to agree with them is all.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Lol, no it's not it's a theological truth only denied by those who call themselves reformed.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Amen! God said Abel's blood cried out from the ground and then asked Cain where is Abel's? At that point Cain was given a chance by God to tell the truth but he instead said, am I my brothers keeper. Great point made.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Hebrews shows us people who were saved and experienced the Holy Spirit and life but decided to walk away and now it's almost impossible for them to ever return. That makes me believe if you can walk away from God then you can be part of accepting God's offer to Salvation.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Well, think about it and really hard if you have to for a minute, hour, days, weeks whatever but the entire Bible is inspired by God so it's already telling us what He said and my post is 100% what He said.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Doesn't seem so merciful in the text if God only calls a little bit of people compared to all people. But the Bible, especially the Torah, shows us most people knew about the God of the Hebrew people but rejected Him to worship their gods made from their own hands. Even Roman's 1 shows us...

    Saved by faith alone?

    This is a great question because both ways to answer is correct. If they have no works they are displaying where their faith is at but if they do have works it's really showing where their faith is at. And from whether you follow Yeshua or Satan your works ultimately prove where your true...

    Saved by faith alone?

    I might be misunderstanding this post because James states that Works proves Faith which indicates he is talking about those who are 100% saved.

    I believe the Measure of Faith applies to all things pertaining towards God from belief to Gifts to Salvation.

    Saved by faith alone?

    Not sure how understanding what the Thief on the cross with Yeshua said and viewing it as a Testimony being something difficult unless it goes against personal doctrine. But each to their own.

    They actually do works. The thief admitted he deserved his punishment but Yeshua didn't and those death bed conversions are ultimately a Testimony that people can change. So there's works you just choose not to see it.

    Saved by faith alone?

    James is the Council Leader. Much of this he wrote is staples of the Council. That same Council even decided what the converting Gentiles must do. So James is actually very important to ALL of us believers in Christ who are saved and follow Yeshua.

    The truth of sin

    We will never reach sinless perfection because even though we grow to the point of recognizing we could sin and can stop from sinning the majority of the time we go ahead and choose to commit the sin. Example: You are in a discussion and you get a thought that only you know and instead of...

    Saved by faith alone?

    Just tossing this out there but Fallen Angels would have no need to trust\have Faith in God because they were created already saved. The only reason they believe in God is because they lived with God and did what God commanded until they chose to rebel.

    Saved by faith alone?

    The real issue is what does a measure actually mean because is it saying everyone gets the same measure or do some get more than others...? But what we clearly should be able to understand from this verse in Romans is that God has provided the necessary means to believe in Him. Faith is...
