Is that what he taught? You sure?
Romans 3:31, "Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no means! Rather, we establish the Law!"
Yaaqob 2:26, "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so the faith without works is dead also."
Faith + no works = dead
Works + no faith = dead
We need faith and works, AND OUR FAITH HAS TO BE POINTED AT THE RIGHT DIRECTION
Titus 1:16, "They profess that they know Yahweh, but by their works they deny Him--being abominable, disobedient, and to every righteous work, reprobate."
2 Timothy 3:5, "Having a form of holiness, but denying the authority of it--from such turn away!"
Yahchanan (John) 5:28-30, “Do not be astonished at this-for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice, and will come forth. Those who have practiced righteousness will be resurrected in order to live; and those who have practiced wickedness will be resurrected in order to be damned."
Luke 11:28, "But He said: Yet, rather, blessed are those who hear the plan of Yahweh, and keep; guard, preserve, and obey, it!"
Romans 1:5, "By Whom we have received mercy and apostleship for obedience to the faith among all nations for His Name."
Debating over faith/works is pointless.
In the mindset of true Salvation faith and obedience are one in the same.
Period.
If you believed you would do.
Period.
People are so far disconnected from the Branch...
Heb 4:2, "For this message was preached to us, as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not benefit them, because they did not share in the faith of those who obeyed. "
Heb 3:16-19, "For some, when they had heard, rebelled. But not all rebelled who came out of Egypt through Mosheh. But with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He vow that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who did not obey?So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief."
Only in the west do we put a difference between faith and obedience....
Contend for the faith once delivered to the saints....
1 Yahchanan 2:1-2, "My little children, I write these things to you, so that you may not sin (what is sin?). And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father: Yahshua Messiah, the Righteous; and He is the sacrifice of atonement for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."
1 Yahchanan 3:4, "Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is the transgression of the Law."
Just because we have mercy does not mean we throw all Instructions in the Law of Yahweh in the trash.
Yahdah 1:4, "For there are certain men who have secretly crept in, who were before of old ordained for this condemnation, unholy men, who turn the undeserved pardon of our One Supreme Savior Yahweh into licentiousness, and deny Yahshua our Messiah."
