If I feed and clothe someone, does that prove I have saving faith? James 2 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body...

You must think highly of yourself if you equate your personal faith to the faith of Jesus Christ. My faith is weak and pathetic and could never justify. Daily, I fall short of the glory of God. It is only by Christ's faith that I am justified. Get yourself a KJV and stick with it.;)

"The faith of Christ" is not the same thing as "God's righteousness"; they are distinct. God is righteous in and of Himself, and He was righteous before Jesus came as a man. If "God's righteousness" were the same thing as "the faith of Christ", you would be purporting a catch-22 because God...

Works don't happen automatically. A man can hear the gospel, believe the gospel, and be saved and have not works. That man can die a saved man and go to heaven. Works is the result of being discipled, learning the word of God, and applying it to your life through the help of the Holy Spirit...

The righteousness of God = the faith of Jesus Christ....it is upon all them that believe. 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...

"Numerous" means nothing. Which is correct? Truth is what matters, majority does not rule.

Slight correction... 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: The righteousness of God was on display through the faith of Jesus Christ. He was completely obedient...

Faith saves! No works

I'm righteous because Christ is righteous. No amount of works can show or prove that I am righteous. I am a filthy sinner saved by grace. I'm in Christ, the righteous One. I sin daily. The only way I have any hope is through the righteousness of Jesus Christ!

James was not answering the question, "Will works follow faith?" James was answering the questions, "Can faith save him?" Can faith save him without works? James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? Paul would...

Not one OT saint trusted in a future cross. That dog won’t hunt. What I am saying is that there is only one gospel unto salvation, and that is through believing Christ died for sins, was buried, and rose again. If Abel was saved by believing something other than that, then that’s another...

So, by your answers, Abel did not have what we have when he died. He was not saved. If he were saved, if his sins were washed away when he died, he would have been present with the Lord upon death. We have something better! Absolutely! We have something they did not have! Abel did not...

Answer me this: Abel was saved by grace? Was Abel part of the body of Christ? Was Abel born again? Was Abel absent from the body and present with the Lord? Was Abel washed by the blood of Jesus? Was Abel a new creature in Christ? Did Abel have the sealing of the Holy Spirit? If Abel...

James is encouraging the Jews to have faith in Jesus Christ in their time of trouble, Jacob's trouble.

The Jews are the brethren of James. Paul calls his fellow unsaved Jews his brethren. It is brethren according to the flesh.

I agree, man can not usher in the kingdom.

Could someone today get saved by hearing John the Baptist? The disciples gospel given to them before the cross?

The gospel Paul taught had gone out in all the world, was preached to every creature under heaven, and went out to all nations. If his gospel was the gospel of the kingdom, then why hasn’t the end of the world come? Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the...

Yes, Paul preached the kingdom of God, the spiritual kingdom of righteousness through Christ. This is not to be equated to the gospel of the kingdom. The gospel of the kingdom is to the Jews concerning the promise restoration of the kingdom of Israel.
