If its Christ's work of faith as coming from, or generated by our faithful Creator how could it fail seeing it is His Spirit that works in us to both will and do His good pleasure as a imputed righteousness. The righteousness of Christ's faith that worked in both Abraham and Rehab making His faith by that His work in them both perfect perfect...

If we would attach that righteousness to either Rehab or Abraham we then would violate the warning in the first verse of that chapter. We are not to have the "faith of Christ's works, that work in us in respect to Abraham or Rehab, as it concludes in verse 7 . They would be blaspheming the holy name by which we are called .

If God by faith believing He could, said; let there be light and no light came, His faith would be dead there would be no living work to prove it.

I would think we must distinguish whose one faith is working .(One Lord, one faith, one baptism.Ephesians 4:5) Would it be that of the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit of God or of men? There is no separation from faith with out living works. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

Again whose works, him seen or eternal God not seen??

Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

Again whose faith worked with His works and by that work His faith was made complete. Abraham, Rehab or God's faith?

And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.Jam 2:21-26
I'm sorry... Was I not clear in my post as to what I wanted? BTW, the 'one faith' mentioned in scripture you provided is the 'Christian faith' not our personal faith.

Did I really have to say a properly translated scripture? This response is nothing but deflection.
Try again........the Greek states the same thing....we are saved, justified, sanctified by the PERFECT FAITH of Christ......so.....anything else you would like to BLOVIATE<--ENGLISH WORD....

I believe God when He promised to preserve His pure words for all generations and I believe we have it in the KJV. Go on correcting the Bible. You have nothing certain to point to.
Again I'm sorry but I'm not at a KJVO de-programmer, plus that is not the topic of this thread. Here's a link you can follow and read.

"KJV Only" advocates refuted!

I fail to understand why you would make such a bold face lie when you know it's easily refuted. The only thing I can think of is that you really don't know how to study the Greek but you just had to try to make a point no matter how badly you did it. Please place your call again.

even the heart?

and the spiritual parts?

((btw -- in KJV, it reads "
and in they book all my members were written . . ." -- "my members" is italicized because it isn't actually in the text, but the translators took liberties in interpreting to stick it in there. what's actually written looks pretty difficult to translate - and almost unanimously in every language is translated one way or the other as "all my days were written in your book before they came to be" -- but then you don't care about that, do you? actual translation? you're one of them, KJV says it therefore it is the immutable perfect word choice people, right? even the italicized stuff?))
I would think even the heart and spirit ,the essence of life.. In our case even the new heart and new spirit that will never die.. The old heart turned to stone when Adam and Eve did the pleasure of the will of the father of lies as that seen than rather then obey the commandment of God not seen.. It is our old heart that he softens by the water of the word giving us the good ground by which He plants the incorruptible seed and causes the growth. He does all those things according to the mystery of his will . 1Co 2:7

It was a gracious thing He created a conscience in man, How else could we accuse and excuse our selves as its purpose , a personal judgement hall.. Its just that He is greater and know all things. Therefore as new creatures we can have the peace of God that surpasses all understanding according to the mystery of his will . (1Co 2:7)

I fully understand the Greek word TOU can be translated of or from and both indicate source

I also understand that FAITH is a spiritual GIFT OF or FROM GOD
I also UNDERSTAND that a measure OF FAITH has been dealt to every man
I also UNDERSTAND that my JUSTIFICATION, SALVATION and SANCTIFICATION is based upon the WORK and FAITH OF JESUS....

so...your mouthy response means less than zero pal.......

Yes it is the mutual faith of Christ , of God that works in the heart of all Christiabn to both will and do His goof pleasure as a imputed righteousness .

We we can see Christ's faith working in both called the mutual faith coming from one faith .It is used in James in the same way as in Romans using two people to impart a spiritual gift (not seen) that works in both men, edifying God as the gospel is heard by both.

Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.Rom 1:10

It would seem that spiritual gifts are two fold in that way, as the comforter of both, or us all.

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.Rom 1:16


From His faith that works in us to His faith, as it is written,the perfect news.

So why don't you go ahead and highlight the following Greek text and show me exactly what you're talking about? By the way the name is Stan, not pal. I am definitely not your pal.

[δὲ] ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν,ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται πᾶσα σάρξ.

It's not talking about a mutual faith of Christ, it is talking about the mutual Christian faith which is not the same thing.
If you're going to quote scripture then don't quoted out of context like you've done enough.

[FONT=&quot]First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong— 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith.

Your spirit seems to also indicate that you don't have a clue who Jesus is PAL....and anyone can google, cut and past Greek text PAL....so...again your mouthy, hostile remarks and responses mean nothing PAL....

ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ--->Except through faith JESUS CHRIST..........the OF or FROM is GIVEN because our JUSTIFICATION is not based upon ἐξ ἔργων νόμου by works of LAW......

So, bark up another tree PAL if your going to continue to be HOSTILE and CONTRARY to

Now you even resort to misrepresenting the Greek. How dishonest can somebody be? The only one that's getting hostile here is you. I'll wait to see what the moderators have to say about your hostility.

Thanks.

By responding positively to how God draws us to the reality of Jesus Christ. Everybody has a spiritual aspect to themselves and if they ignore it or refuse to listen to it then that is on them. In the end every man is judged by what he does know, regardless of whether or not he admits it. Remember the scripture says that every knee will bow and that is not going to be a voluntary thing for many.

Like I said I'll wait for a moderator to decide what the action will be. You projecting hostility on me doesn't mean it was. A lot of people are vehemently hostile towards being corrected. Your posts are proof of that.

Stan,

Here at CC, when we're upset with people, we don't "tell on them" to moderators.

We just meet them at a paintball range so we can shoot them.



At least... I always tell people it's a paintball range.
