Not By Works

WOW.......let's just stitch a handful of scriptures together, or rather parts of scripture so as to make our own verses of the bible.....

He has already devalued Jesus to a street organ player in Bombay by his drivel......no big surprise he would say the above....Jesus risked nothing and to say that is idiotic....

Morning Rose........thanks for the verses...Keep swinging sister........

Catch him in his words and he will deceptively misdirect and then play a victim card scripture as evidenced a few pages back....

Why would we want to listen to his blather.....He does not even believe in the deity of Christ and thinks Christ took a chance when he went to the cross.....<--RISKED is the word he used....

the funny/ sad thing about this- they decry the Pharisees for creating their own laws on top of the Torah. then they take the Bible and do the same thing the Pharisees did- they just pluck out verses and write their own Bible.

Morning Blue and back at ya....

Can you believe the Anti-Biblical drivel he quoted in that post.............WOW.......deceived is a word that does not even come close.....

Any deeds of righteousness not done through HIS Spirit are of our own accord and are as filthily rags. Many will come in that day; saying, have we not done this good deed and that? And the LORD shall say, get behind me ye that work iniquity. For it is GOD that works in you both to will and do HIS good pleasure! HE doeth the work!


And this is eternal life; that we may know the Father and the Son whom HE sent. HE in us; us in HIM that HIS will be done. That the world may believe.
No it's not.
So it is you that wills and does GOD'S good pleasure when doing as GOD would deem? You do the work not GOD through HIS Spirit. Are you alive rather than dead and the life you now live is through you and not the Faith of Christ?

Where have I said such? So it is you that works and wills GOD's good pleasure? You are alive and not dead. And the life you now live is not by the faith of Son of GOD?

You said this EG.


"Your problem is you deny the power of God to change those people" These are your words directed at me. I listened to them and responded, and you ignored completely my response.

I responded because I do listen to you EG. I have stacks of your posts printed, especially your older ones, and me and several others in my church have studied separately so we can each fully understand what you preach without bias, as is my custom. It is for this reason that I reply to your posts in the first place. It is your custom, not mine to refuse to listen to others. I think you might be confusing "agreeing to your preaching" with "listening to your preaching". Just because I don't agree with your religion, doesn't mean I don't listen to it, or understand it. And you are the one who says I believe what I don't believe as your own words expose above.

But I don't care about all this he said she said high school foolishness, I care about what the scriptures actually say.

I agree that God has the POWER to save everybody, to change EVERYBODY.

But He doesn't "change or save" everybody, even though it is His desire that they live forever. Do you deny this?

Matt. 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, (Why didn't He, doesn't He have the power?) even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

Now so far in your posts I have studied you preach that "Faith" is given by God, I don't have it unless He gives it to me. If this is not correct, please let me know and correct it for me.

And all "good Works" that we do are not a result of anything we do, but the Christ manipulating our flesh to produce them.

And also that every "Christian" WILL PRODUCE "good works" as the Spirit of Christ will "change them", not by any desire a human has, but by the supernatural force of the Spiritual God.

God has this power, and will use this Power on ALL of HIS People.

That is part of what my understanding of your religious belief is. If this is not true, then show me how I am mistaken.

So given this religion, why didn't the Christ exhibit His Power and "change" His own Levite Priests? He wanted to, He had the power to. Why did He "change you and your friends" to do "Good Works" but not His own Levite Priests?

Matt. 7:
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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Lawlessness)

These people believed in Him, you can't deny that. They spread His Word to others, they helped people who had infirmities brought on by the devil.

Why didn't the Christ give them the FAITH you preach He gave to you and your friends? Why did HE "Change you" with His Power, that we both agree He had, but not them? How come did the Christ give you Salvation that could never be lost no matter what, but refused to give them even Faith?

But we can see that both the Mainstream Preachers of Christ Time, and those "MANY" who call the Christ, Lord, Lord "believed" that they were "changed" by His Power. They both "Believed" they were children of Abraham.

But their "BELIEF" alone did not same them.

You also "BELIEVE" you are already saved and immortal, no matter what. If fact, all your friends on this forum "believe" this along with millions and millions of Folks who follow your region. All these "MANY" who call HIM Lord, Lord, also "believe" just as the Mainstream Preachers of His Time, believed they were on the right path.

Now here is what causes the division between you and I.

The Christ rejected the Mainstream Preachers of His Time even though we both agree HE had the Power to save them, because, in His Own WORDS:

Matt. 15:
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. (Not God)

And of those "Christians" that He rejected in Matt. 7, even though He had the Power to Save them, He didn't because in His Own Words:

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

So you and the entire Mainstream Christians franchises of the world "work iniquity" EG. You brag about how you are already given immortality even though you "work iniquity". How God's Laws are only for the Jews. You even did a whole study, which I printed, which was labeled. "God's Laws are not for the Christian".

Now how is it the Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time were deceived into rejecting God's instructions, and those "MANY" Christians in Matt. 7 were deceived into rejecting God's instructions and all these were rejected by the Christ.

But you, also convinced into rejecting God's instructions, are "changed" by the power of God, and given immortality the minute you do this or that, no matter what?

What if the Bible is right, and it is you who are deceived? Wouldn't you want to know that?

I am not wasting my time showing you anything else. I have shown you your own words about keeping the Sabbath to be saved, you just deny what you yourself wrote.

so, if you are going to write something today, then deny it tomorrow , you seem to have no sense of honesty, so no one can show you anything unless you are willing to be consistent in your own words.

You are not showing me anything because you have nothing. What is worse your friends here don't even correct you when you act like a non christian. Shame....

Yes you did respond. Here is your response. Which also proves me right, in what I said about you and WHY you do not deserve a response.

The Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time mixed Pagan religion with God's instructions and their own lust to create a religion which "Transgresses God's Commandments by their own traditions. As a result, the Christ told them:

Matt. 15:
7 Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,
8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.


The Pharisees transgressed God's Commandments and were rejected by the Christ. The "Christians" in Matt. 7, Transgressed the Commandments of God and were rejected by the Christ. In your own words, the catholic Church transgressed the Commandments of God by their own religious traditions and is rejected by the Christ.

And yet, after all these warnings and examples, you also reject God's Laws and have created your own religion, and you are also convinced you are "SAVED" no matter what. I don't believe the serpent, I don't believe the Pharisees, I don't believe the Pope. I think the only way to endure in this evil time is to live by "EVERY WORD of God, not the smooth sounding religions of the world, that you ardently defend.

The Catholics do not teach obedience to God, The Pharisees did not teach obedience to God, you do not teach obedience to God, and the deceiver, the Prince of this world, disguised as Ministers of Righteousness doesn't teach obedience to God.

But the Christ does teach obedience to God. Abraham did obey God.

As is the custom of the Mainstream Preachers of the World, you only use Parts of God's Word to further your religion, because if you used ALL of His Words, you would be exposed.

Gen. 12:
1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him

This same Christ said the same thing to me Dan.

Matt. 10:
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

Should I not also consider these scriptures in my Christian walk?




God gave Abraham instructions and He obeyed them. The contrast is so stark that my 5 year old grandson can "SEE" it. But the "other religious voice" preaches against obedience. It preaches a Faith which has no obedience. Abraham didn't have such a Faith. I would not know this if I listened to you, or the pope, or the other Mainstream Preachers of today. Only by listening to the Word of God have I learned this. This is part of the Armor of God I am instructed to "put on" so that the devil doesn't deceive me as it did Eve. Of course, you are convinced you are already immortal no matter what, so why would you need the Armor of God.



You have, once again omitted a very important Biblical Fact of this message. The Mainstream Preachers of this time were still pushing obsolete Levitical Priesthood sacrificial "Works of the Law" for justification and remission of past sins. Levi wasn't yet born in Abrahams time, yet he was justified. Not by the "Works of the Law" instituted by God through Moses "till the seed should come" but by Faith, shown by His obedience in all that the Christ instructed Him to do.

You will notice by actually studying ALL of God's Word that all the Faithful mentioned in the Faith Chapter had one thing in common. they all strived to "cling to God" and His Word. Some fell, made mistakes, but ALL repented and continued to show their "Faithfulness" to God.

I have yet to hear you, Post, EG, Decon, G9, TT, VCO, any of your modern mainstream "Christians" EVER mention, discuss, praise, or show respect for these men who put God and His Words, not their local religion, first in their life.

You are told to consider them.

Heb. 12:
1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

In your religion, you are already saved, already immortal. The great cloud of witnesses are irrelevant.

You are not even running a race, that would be "working to earn salvation" in your religion.

Had Abraham refused to leave His kindred, would He still be blessed? Had Abraham refused to leave his fathers religion, would he still be considered righteous?

I really hope you will step back a little and consider "EVERY WORD which proceeds from the mouth of God". I don't believe there is any other way to break the heavy burdens and the yoke of deception the Prince of this world has placed on the people. It's right there, all you need to do is "believe" enough to "Follow" as the Christ instructed.

Let me try this again, since the formatting got messed up due to typo.

Yes you did respond. Here is your response. Which also proves me right, in what I said about you and WHY you do not deserve a response.


1. I do not believe I am immortal. So you are wrong.


2. I do not believe this either. Still have absolutely no idea why you would say such a thing concerning me.

I have NEVER taught what I have bolded in your post.

So already, your response is based with three things I HAVE NEVER SAID, BELIEVED OR INSINUATED IN ANY POST I EVER MADE.

So you lost the possibility of having me even read the rest of your post. Because if you can not get this part right, how can I or anyone else expet you bgot anythign else right.

Again, You want me to respond to you? Learn what I believe or learn what we all believe. Because as long as you continue to respond with false truths about us. Don;t expect us to respond back .

Nice deflection, of course you don't want to discuss scriptures and questions which bring your religion into question.

And don't get mad at me for believing what you have written a hundred times on this forum.

"I am saved" I can never lose this status. Eternal security is reserved for me. "ETERNAL SECURITY". How is this not claiming immortality? Of course, you will deflect here as well.

The Mainstream Preachers of Christ's Time hated Him, not because He didn't understand their religion, but because He did. I think I have a pretty good grasp on what you believe if your own words are what I am to go by.

You have said that I have "NOTHING" to do with my own salvation. "Not by Works" is the name of this thread. You have said Nothing I do before Salvation has a bearing, and EVERYTHING I do after Salvation is the Christ doing it for me.

I can't take credit for repentance, Faith, or any work, God's work or man's work.

You have ridiculed Hiz, me, and many others who would question this religious belief by Words spoken by the Word of God over and over.
You call me a Legalist, a Pharisee, your buddies have called me worse. And now you are saying you don't believe what you have posted so many times I have lost track.

Come on EG. Are you Really going there just so you don't have to discuss these scriptures??

Its no deflection dude, and I am done with you.

I will die as all people die. Thus I am not immortal.

Now if you want to talk about eternal life, which John said I have. Thats another question.

If you ever want to humble yourself and discuss what people really believe, let me know.
