You going to pray for the writer of Hebrews who IS SPEAKING of GENESIS and SAYS that Abraham OBEYED AND WENT?


Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.


It is a sin to bear false witness.

Your faith has saved thee, go in peace

Jesus said that and you call him a liar....good luck

Luke 7:44Then he turned toward the woman and said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house. You did not give me any water for my feet, but she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45You did not give me a kiss, but this woman, from the time I entered, has not stopped kissing my feet. 46You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet. 47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—as her great love has shown. But whoever has been forgiven little loves little.”

48Then Jesus said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”

49The other guests began to say among themselves, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”

50Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”



That woman felt bad about her sins. How do you get she did nothing but have faith alone when JESUS explains THE MANY THINGS SHE DID?!

That is about the purification works of the law, like circumcision.
Paul EVEN goes ON to speak of Abraham's---Circumcision!

Are you kidding? You don't know the New Covenant to come was promised by God?

Galatians 3:8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."



Paul is speaking about the boasting of the PURIFICATION/CEREMONIAL works of the law that the Jews did!

Paul EVEN further proves you wrong by teaching us that we can boast in doing right. Paul boasted in himself and others who did right.
I have many scriptures to post to prove that to you.

Again, it is about the purification/ceremonial works of the law---like CIRCUMCISION.

Do you really think that Paul said ANYWHERE that it was before Abraham did right by obeying God? No. It is about circumcision, just like Paul explains.



I can prove it to you further that you are wrong.

Tell me this, what is Peter speaking about when he says people misunderstand Paul in 2 Peter 3?



I have been telling you that we can NO LONGER PURIFY ourselves by doing the purification/ceremonial works of the law. JESUS purifies us now, by our having faith that HIS BLOOD SHED on the CROSS cleans us, of the sins we REPENT of doing.


You falsely judge me.




Wow, you are really going to keep denying what James plainly says?

Wow...you going to keep ignoring context, the words of Paul and Jesus?

Thy faith hath saved thee, go in peace

The words of Jesus....^^^^^

Are you saying that verse 7's "allo [G243]" is the identical word as verse 6's "heteron [G2087]"? [both saying the word "another" in English]

(note: I am not making ANY OTHER POINT than to ask whether these are the SAME word or DIFFERENT words ;) )

Are you going by another book that says they are different? I don't go by other books that are not in the Holy Bible.

I agree, but I dislike this sentiment — for the sake of the name.

I have heard it said like this, to be a good witness we should ......

No, we are a witness in following Jesus, not to be a witness but because this is the Way.
John put it is terms of love and seeing a brother in need. One cannot claim to know Jesus
and then ignore ones brother, no the love within shows itself in reaching out and giving support.

Jesus came to purchase a people, not because we are worthy but because of His will and His love,
expressed by the Father through the Son. It is difficult to think I am owned but I am. I do not have
rights, God gives me His mercy and His love to share as a vessel. In submission to the Lord of All,
we gain the greatest gift, who He is, the humblest ruler of everything that anyone could be or imagine.
To have the creator come and speak with us, and listen to us, and wash our feet. What a Lord, what
a friend, what a Saviour, Praise you forever, Jesus Christ the exalted one, Amen

He humbles my heart, and breaks me, and gives me life all at the same time.....

Forgive me, for I copied that for the sake of time. I agree with you.

Amen decon, we are not saved by our obedience only "believe in Jesus Christ", -- by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified,"

Galatians 2:16
16) yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

:cry::cry:

Off topic but this is rampant in our world.....and in every part (political, entertainment, church etc.,)

I have seen a few people taken away in hand cuffs where I work, people (parent of children) one would never suspect.

We need to pray that this is revealed and stopped... it is beyond belief what has been and is being covered up.
