You are completely missing the point here my friend. I know what the Bible means, that is not the question here. The point is that when scripture is not printed "exactly" as written, then it is no longer scripture. You are not paying close enough attention to what dc said ( works/deeds ). There is no scripture printed in that exact manner, therefore it is man's words and not scripture. He changed the scripture, making it no longer scripture.
.....

right :rolleyes:


and i take it you think you will be justified by the works/deeds of the law mr. 93 ?

Actually it would because thou shalt not lie.
If you have any proof that I have lied, then please present it my friend. If not, then you and others are bearing false witness with your accusations.

Not to mention every Scripture translation is virtually a paraphrase of the original languages. That’s why they are all slightly different.

Would it matter if I was 73, 83 or 123 ? Makes no difference concerning who is properly presenting the Bible here now does it ?
Adding to what Cee just said, now you are saying you are a "liar", you should seek out a
spiritual counselor, seriously.

Exactly, what he did is paraphrasing. Can you show me in the Bible where it says it is ok to paraphrase a verse and still call it scripture ? No Bible allows this and his words do not match any versions of the Bible. Therefore his words are not scripture.

REV 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

REV 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

He added unto the book by slightly changing it, making what he said to be his words and not actual scripture.Yes, I am being purposely technical here to prove a point because others have chosen to go down the "technical" road here. But what I say is true. He did change the scripture, making it no longer scripture.

The Letter kills, but the Spirit is life. Keeping the Spirit of the word is still Scripture. His paraphrase takes the whole of Scripture, not a word for word account. Like I said all interpretations are paraphrase of the original languages. Under your rules, none of us could say Scripture is Scripture unless we shared the exact Greek or Aramaic.

Works ARE important. I will prove this with God's own word later. One issue at a time. First, I am waiting for dc to respond to the words he represented as scripture. I am not allowing for you guys to divert off of that fact, until it is settled. Good day gentlemen.

who says they arent important

we ought to encourage our brothers and sistets unto every good work


as for the lie that they earn, keep or lose your salvation

in turn making yourself your own savior

that will always be refuted by anyone who knows Gods word

man will not be justified or saved by works or the law

Galatians 2:16
16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

_____________

Romans 3:20-23
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;


it is not YOUR righteousness you will be judged by regarding salvation IF HIS SEED IS IN YOU (you are born again... He has taken root)

(look at my signature)

everyone

guilty of even 1 sin
is going to hell

this is just


but God is not only just

He is loving
and has an abundance of mercy

when Jesus died on the cross
this was a sacrifice in which
He payed for every sin of the WHOLE world....

so that those who believe on Him can be seen as sinless as He is


those who are born again

are adopted children

every single sin is covered by the blood of Jesus
(all glory goes to Him)

and we who have sinned but been born again

will have the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ

our Lord and savior

we are justified by His righteousness

Romans 5:19

“For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”


praise God

:eek:
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

The will of the Father

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
These men believe in their "wonderful works" to save them... not Jesus

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Because they have not submitted to His righteousness they will still have the sins they commit to answer for




__________


will of the Father?

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day
one last post

i hope this isnt too long winded my friend


romans 9

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;

33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.


Romans 10
10 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth




may God bless you

Well, you guys love to get "technical" and think you have someone in a corner, but it is you that have backed yourselves into a corner. let us go back just a few pages to prove just who has placed themselves into a corner. Now, dc stated the above words he posted were "scripture". That is what he said it is "scripture". Now for something to be "scripture", then it must be "exact scripture". One cannot add words/symbols, delete, nor change anything in any way for it to be scripture. You cannot show me one single version of the Bible that is printed "exactly" as shown above. Not one. There is no BIBLE written as "works/deeds", not one single version is presented exactly as that. Therefore, what you wrote is NOT any scripture. Rather it is a summation of scripture. For you to claim it IS "scripture" is to place yourself into judgment according to the verse below because it is NOT exact scripture.

REV 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

REV 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

What you wrote WAS NOT scripture, but your own summation, precisely as I said before. So, there is the first mistake you made in claiming it was scripture. Now, are you going to admit that what you wrote is NOT any exact scripture ? OR are you going to deny that mistake ?
The only corner I am in is the corner Jesus stands in....too bad you cannot accept the plain truth...

Therefore, we CONCLUDE a man is JUSTIFIED by faith WITHOUT the deeds of the LAW......

Wake up to the truth
