Don’t look for short responses from LGF, but only long winded posts full of scripture twisting, psycho babble, rhetoric and SDA propaganda.
That’s why I have him on IGNORE.

Hmm I guess this is the only reply you can come up with against all the scriptures that disagree with you? Only God's Word is true my friend if you disagree with what I have posted please reply to the posts and scriptures that disagree with your interpretation of the scriptures. If you cannot it is ok, maybe you can go home and pray about it.
I take it you didn't even read those scriptures.
Not surprised.
You ought to try it sometimes, it's a real eye-opener.
BTW, don't even try that "saved by works" crap on me either.
Why so angry? There is nothing eye opening about false teachers twisting the scriptures and perverting the Gospel. Save it. I’m not easily fooled.
No, not angry.
I just get so tired of that "you're saved by works" strawman used on everybody that don't agree with you.
That's enuff to stop up a sewer treatment plant.
It’s no straw man. Many people who are mixed up in various false religions and cults teach salvation by works and twist James 2:14-24 to fit their agenda. I don’t believe that James teaches salvation by works, as I clearly explained and if you agree then just simply say so.
But if you do not know what the Gospel is how can you know what James is talking about?
if you only read the verses that fits your ellen white taught theology, how can you understand the law and Sabbath does not save.
Strawman much? Who has ever said God's LAW saves? Not me. Sin however will keep all who practice it out of God's KINGDOM
..................
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
May God bless you as you seek him through His Word.
22And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe.
There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
James 5:19-20 (ESV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP] My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, [SUP]20 [/SUP] let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
James 5:19-20 (NASB)
[SUP]19 [/SUP] My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, [SUP]20 [/SUP] let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
James 5:19-20 (NIV)
[SUP]19 [/SUP] My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, [SUP]20 [/SUP] remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
Salvation can be lost when true repentance ends.
There is no double speak my friend we are only saved by GRACE through FAITH and not of OURSELVES it is a GIFT of GOD and NOT of WORKS lest any man should boast.
However, IF your FAITH does not have the FRUIT of OBEDIENCE then you are still in your SINS because you have rejected the GIFT of God's dear Son (James 2:18: 20: 26).
If your tree has no FRUIT it will be cast down and thrown into the FIRE come judgement day (Matthew 7:12-23). Now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth NOT forth good fruit is CUT down, and cast into the fire (Matthew 3:10).
If you are still in your SINS when he gives you a KNOWLEDGE of the truth then you do not KNOW him who calls you in LOVE to LOVE another as he first LOVED you. It is hard to see Gods' Word when you close your eyes to it in order to follow your traditions that break the Commandments of God.
SIN will keep all who practice it OUT of God's KINGDOM.
gb9, don't say LGF belongs to that SDA. He refute Ellen White's teaching as I do.
MMD: this is from your post #19:
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy. - Not binding on the Church - Colossians 2:16-17
The re: Col. 2:16,17: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
That takes nothing away; instead it edifies it. It is dangerous to draw doctrine on one example. Let everything be established at the mouth of two or three witnesses. God's advise in the OT.
The topic we were discussing is in regards to works and James 2:14-24 and not losing salvation. Do you believe that “justified by works” in James 2:24 means “accounted as righteous” or “shown to be righteous?”
