By the way, if anyone wonders what this is all about. Go to my thread which I started yesterday, and see where JJ came into my thread, and started accusing and posting thast I said or believe things wh9ch I have never stated, and when I asked for proof that I said what he said I did, he refused, Just like he is doing here.
However, I did not come into this thread to attack JJ it even judge him (prove4n by my post) I came in to discuss what a few people were trying to discuss about the topic.

When I post here, it is in the spirit of sharing the Word as taught by Jesus Christ. I may not always convey what I understand perfectly, but then the great Teacher is Jesus Christ not I. Even if my rendition may not be perfect the Hoy Spirit will fill in and correct where it is so for the believing reader or hearer.......I believe this.

When posting each day, I ask God to guide my words, and to actually be in them vrom Jesus. I believe He is for any who already believe and are guided by the Holy Spirit.

If at times what I pass on seems offensive, keep in mind my Teacher was taken also as being offensive to the hypocrites.

So with this wordy introduction, I wish to convey from Jesus Christ once more, "Faith without works is no faith at all."

Either you understand this teaching vial Paul from our Lord or you are in darkness related to gratitude.


God bless all in Jesus Christ and who hear Him! God bless all who are not yet there, in Jesus christ's fame, amen.
Wow...unbelievable. God will fill in the words he types. We're hypocrites if offended and in darkness if we don't agree, and if we don't hear him we don't want to hear from Christ. LOL!!!!!

The humility is at an apex in the above! :D

Then of course the token "God bless...in Jesus christ's <sic> fame <sic>..." :rolleyes:

To top off the asininity? Read the signature of the OP. And the OP actually got "likes" lolzzzzzzzzzzzz

It is almost 8 PM here..........I know all will be well because Jesus christ is in charge. You know well I have left the last two threads because you have followed me and I asked to be left in peace because for the sake of peae I was unsubscribing.

You really should come to grips with the reality that you are not the center of Christian Chat. I know I am not. I am only here to paricipate in the dicussion and sharing of Jesus christ, theWord of God, God, amen. Good night you silly person.

If you are referring to James 2nd chapter, it is faith in God's Providence without works that is a dead faith as seen by others.

Faith in Jesus Christ without works saves. To look to good works to declare that saving faith or to prove that saving faith, voids that saving faith. We look to Jesus Christ for that saving faith as He is our hope.

Correct. Any Christian who understands Gospel truth would know that this is exactly what the New Testament teaches.

King James Bible
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

The connection between faith and good works is very clear in this verse (Titus 3:8)
If you are referring to saving faith, no it is not.

Titus 3:[SUP]4 [/SUP]But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,[SUP]5[/SUP]Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;[SUP]6 [/SUP]Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Paul is stating all his good works done since he had been saved had nothing to do with his salvation or proving it.

But he said for believers to be careful in maintaining good works... not for proof of saving faith, but that good works were profitable unto men.

Many believers have been saved by believing the gospel, but are not following Jesus in these latter days. That is not proof that they are not saved nor does it mean they are fake christians. It means they need discipleship in learning about Jesus Christ as their Good Shepherd and all His promises to them for help in laying aside every weight & sin in following Him. Indeed, there are former believers out there that are still saved. but are at risk in being left behind.

That is why the call to depart from iniquity is given out to even former believers so that they may be received as vessels unto honor in His House at the pre trib rapture event, rather than be a castaway to be received later on as a vessel unto dishonor in His House.

2 Timothy 2:[SUP]18 [/SUP]Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.[SUP] 19 [/SUP]Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.[SUP] 20 [/SUP]But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.[SUP]21 [/SUP]If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

Any iniquity denies Him and by that iniquity, saved believers will be denied by Him, BUT He still abides. This is why His disciples are to make disciples of other believers so that they too may look to Him as their Good Shepherd for help in following Him and be received by the Bridegroom as a vessel unto honor too at the pre trib rapture event. That is the eternal glory that awaits His disciples that comes with our salvation in Christ Jesus, but not all believers will depart from iniquity, but He still abides which is why there are vessels unto dishonor in His House to be received after the great tribulation.

2 Timothy 2:[SUP]10 [/SUP]Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.[SUP] 11 [/SUP]It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:[SUP] 12 [/SUP]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:[SUP] 13 [/SUP]If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

You should come to groups that when you sin against a brother, and make false accusations against them, The body of Christ should come to you and ask for you to repent.

When people show you where you have sinned, or at the very least, ask you to back up your words with proof. You do not ignore them, walk away, or say you are being attacked. You own up to your accusations and prove your point.

Your right, All will be well.. If you do not repent. All will be well. If you do repent, all will be better (at least maybe you can start having conversations with people with meaning, because you truly understand what they say)

As for your continued attack against me in this thread, it is uncalled for. Unprovoked. And I pray the ops see what is going on here.

If you are referring to saving faith, no it is not.
Why don't you read that Scripture once again -- slowly and carefully.

1. they which have believed in God -- those who have believed the Gospel and been saved by grace through faith.

2. .. might be careful to maintain good works -- meaning after they have been saved, not as a means of salvation

your re4fusal to read anything I wrote is amazing. Then your response to my post is even more amazing, when you obvious have not read a word I wrote.



My response was not even direct4ed to you, I just made a statement about what I thought.

so once again, You hurt your own testimony by not reading or understand what someone said. How you are not convicted of this is just amazing.

But hey, if you want top keep proving you do not read. I will keep showing you how you do not comprehend a wo4rd I say
By the way, if anyone wonders what this is all about. Go to my thread which I started yesterday, and see where JJ came into my thread, and started accusing and posting thast I said or believe things wh9ch I have never stated, and when I asked for proof that I said what he said I did, he refused, Just like he is doing here.

oh good grief

you so badly misunderstand

trust me

we actually can have a thread without your prior approval and not every thread is written to counter what you say

rinse and repeat

EG please stop the pressing of Jaumej.. why not humble yourself and contact him in private.. you both have been members long time and will know much already about each other’s beliefs.. this ongoing behaviour is worsening not improving the situation.

Prowling around carrying it on is not nice and probably is making a poor example.

Did Jaumej state he or others should be circumcised?

If not then then you should retract that verse.

That instant the HAVE TO OBEY THE LAW, debate was about circumcision, but the point is any time you say HAVE TO OBEY THE LAW to be Saved, NO MATTER what LAW you are talking about, you have added to SAVATION IS BY GRACE, and the same Context would be applicable. Those who say true Christians are have to worship on Saturday, have crossed the same line back into bondage to Law.

Our Obedience is to be an act of willing LOVE for HIM, or it worthless filthy rags.


Titus 3:5-7 (HCSB)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] He saved us— not by works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
[SUP]6 [/SUP] He poured out this ⌊Spirit⌋ on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
[SUP]7 [/SUP] so that having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.

Okay, I will ignore this thread. But Salvation is NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, however those who WERE SAVED By Grace through Faith alone, are those who will want to show their LOVE for GOD by striving to walk in obedience.

The op is getting what he deserved based on what he has done the past few days. I did not attack him in this thread. Yet he came after me arms swinging.

Again, He gets what he deserves. If you people want to justify a sinner as being ok. Its no wonder people are the weary they are.

You want to ignore me, Please do. The op should have ignored me months ago, but he chose not to and chose to do what he did. Its on him. Whether you like it or not is not my concern.

(See how you could not show me where my first post attacked the op? Or where I disapproved of the op?)

PS, who in Gods name is not taking Gods name in vein, It is asking who got the authority from God to do what they did.

IN HIS name, means in his authority. Or under his approval.

Pray tell, how is this even relevant to what was posted thus:

So with this wordy introduction, I wish to convey from Jesus Christ once more, "Faith without works is no faith at all."

This is clearly not about justification but sanctification. We are not saved by good works but we are saved UNTO good works, and that is all that has been said by this poster. And the epistles of James expands on this teaching.
