Not hardly pal...Jesus saves and then works through us as a living sacrifice.....the root produces the fruit not the branches....your false theology rejects the clear evidences from both Creation and the Word

That is so true..all of creation speaks of Christ and His work and how the kingdom works based on the fruit of His life. Not what we do in our self-effort and will-power.

Oi Oi Oi!

Blue you can forget it...the workers for twist everything that is said......seems very familiar...oh yeah....the one who twisted what was said in the garden...Jesus spoke about the Pharisees, who believed in a working for way, doing the same works as their father <---with a small f

It's like a never ending cycle....
Ariel....either one stands for the truth and defends it or by default is lumped in with those who oppose it....their false gospel leads to hell....I will swing the sword though all hell breaks forth and the sun goes dark!

That depends in what part of Blighty one lives in.

But me thinks our American friends like the so called English accent.

Maybe we should introduce them to the hard Glaswegian accent, or the scouser accent along with the geordie accent.
I know in Australia where I am currently...they love my Missouri hillbilly southern English accent hahaha

We have all been there my brother and we all still are in some things and even in the things we think we know - we don't know them as we ought to know them.

There is much to learn about the Lord and all that He has done for us! We haven't even scratched the surface of knowing the love and grace of our Lord and Father toward us.

I was just wondering where willybob came from.

Why do folks like to make the scarecrow that you are against doing good works?

The "best we can do" are filthy rags.

YOUR best is horrific in God's eyes. So spiritually blind. Really sad. And I don't mean that with a speck of sarcasm.
Why number yourself among the wicked idolaters seeking to please God with religious works? The prophet Isaiah always contrasted these types against the righteous, holy, and pure believers....

Another fallacy by one who pushes a sinless working for false dogma....

John included himself with the use of WE, WE, WE AND US IN THE FOLLOWING...

if WE say that WE have no sin WE are deceived and the truth is not in US

YOUR STANCE proves two things...

a. Your deceived
b. You have no truth in you

as evidenced by your false gospel and stance I might add!

Because Satan always stands against the truth....starting with CAIN who was of that wicked one...he pushed works as well....and false teachers will push the same lies SATAN and his followers have pushed from day one.....

I fully agree, but I will not sit here and let those who push a dogma that leads to eternal judgment go unanswered....I do not care if I have to respond 50,000 times with the truth about salvation...CAIN PUSHED WORKS, THE PHARISEES PUSHED WORKS, THOSE WHO DECEIVED THE GALATIAN ASSEMBLIES PUSHED WORKS and A WORKS BASED DOGMA LEADS TO HELL......we are in a war, we are told to fight the good fight, to stand as prepared for battle, to defend the truth, to contend for the faith.....I WILL NOT coddle nor cower to those who push a false gospel.....EVER!

It reminds me of Jesus and the PLENTEOUS IN NUMBER that come before his throne pushing works as their ticket into the kingdom.....they get cast from his presence because they trusted works over Jesus and his faith.....their theme song....

We'll work till Jesus comes, We'll work till Jesus comes, We'll work till Jesus comes and then get cast away....

Not by WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HAS HE SAVED US!

dc - so a prostitute comes to Christ and stays in the profession. She believes, so is saved,
what else does she need to do? Maybe actually repent and walk in righteousness.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people
1 cor 5:9

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.
Rev 21:8

Now if you junk righteousness, junk repentance and keep faith, what you have
is the world with Jesus. What an empty gospel.

The farce is you mouth off about it like you are on some great mission, but
all you are doing is standing up for compromised sinners who claim salvation.

You have to not read the bible to be this blind to not know Gods heart.

The lion of Judah has a roar! That is your part my brother.....It is a part of the body of Christ. May the Lord show us the wisdom we need to operate in our own part of the body that we are a part of. The false gospel that does not rely on Christ's work alone hurts all of us and those that are not here with us yet.

How does this relate to what Dcon said?

Seems kind of extreme scarecrow making.

1. How is he defaming anyone?

2. Works are irrelevant TO SALVATION...because we are saved by grace thru faith in Jesus...however the Holy Spirit leads people to live godly lives.

3.you wonder why folks get mad at you? Is cuz you accuse them of promoting sin and they consider that slander/libel.
Amen....he is the only one I have on ignore....no matter how one addresses him he will twist, embellish and change everything we say....there are two or three others that do this as well....I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt, but they are proving themselves to be just as corrupt

Funnily from those who scream miss representation, almost all those I know who
talk about actually following Christ are saved through faith shown by obeying Christs
commands.

What is stunning is the anger, antagonism and judgmentalism of people who actually
listen to Jesus and what He has said. Makes me wonder how many can actually remember
Gods word or even understand it.

I told you what they were, they were saved, long before they did those sins, and still saved today, because they believed god, and God accounted to them righteousness. Which is how ever person who will ever be saved got saved.

their status did not change when they sinned, just their relationship, they needed grace more, and this is what grew them to become them men they became
His color is starting to show.....another one who believes salvation can be lost...and if lost it has to be kept or earned by something he does or does not do......more fallacy and false gospels.......
