OK, everyone, let's take a long hard look at this.
Doing good works he says is part of an antichrist belief. Even doing good works to "live by faith"
Let's swing the pendelem the other way..... what's the other extreme? Salvation by saying I believe in Jesus, & nothing else matters.
So, instead of the usual right/wrong issue, might we want to look at which group is closer to their extreme?
If one side IS wrong, that's no guarantee the other IS right.
Neither is it a guarantee the other side isn't an antichrist system either.
I think you missed his intent.
But then, I think he also missed Pharts intent.

Nor has this side ever denied grace...

never mind for petes sake, I've stopped doing it for my own sake.
The amount of times I have to go back and edit a post to delete the unwelcome post that has decided to tag along is too many to count.

I think both are wrong,
doing work is an antchrist event, never heard of this,
but doing nothing is just just as wrong, a true child of God can't do "nothing"
again, that is the difference between the two groups
they think one MUST do work,
We think they WILL do work.
Only one word is changed, but that one word changes the meaning altogether.

I don't think he meant antichrist so much as...anti-Christ or against -Christ.
I agree with you concerning the must and the will. And I think Phart would agree on that too. He can speak for himself on that though when he wafts back into the room.
