Hi Rokurac, of course you already know,
the debate is, do you believe a theology of; Grace plus nothing, "
Monergism", or Grace plus works, "
Synergism", Yes the doctrine of
Grace plus nothing is found throughout the Gospels, here is one just to get you started, but I'm sure you know this verse already, line upon line.
Also it has been repeated here again and again, that Able's offering to God, was,
his faith and a blood sacrifice; Cain's offering to God,
was his faith pus his good works.
Faith is a gift of God, you cannot posses or achieve faith on your own.
The Synergistic folks here are always putting their good works ahead of Christ and rarely mention Jesus sacrifice, something to think about. Behind all of the conversations about Grace vs Law, the works people will finally admit that a believer can
"lose their eternal salvation," "
No security of the believer", Faith to Faith, "
Salvation is of the Lord." Jonah2:9
This discussion, Grace vs Law has been going on for 2000yrs plus, it will not end until Jesus returns for His Bride the Church.
To some who were confident of their own righteousness
Luke18:9-14 - The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9) To some who were confident of their own righteousness and
looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable:
10) “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11) The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector.
12) I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’
13) “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘
God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
14) “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God.
For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
