God works according to His word/promises/laws/truths.

No man has to know Jesus to be healed, even in this man's case, he didn't have to know Jesus, but God had to forgive his sins, just like in the old testament times. In the old testament, sin brought sickness on the people, just like obedience kept sickness away. Exo 23:25 And ye shall serve...

Why was this man impotent or with an infirmity? Jesus said it was because of his sinning. “See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” The whole reason why the man was that way was BECAUSE OF his sins. So to be healed, his sins had to be forgiven. That happened...

Can anyone have any faith in chance, luck, wishing, hoping, or wondering? That is what you are suggesting. And not to be mean, but there is absolutely NO faith, whatsoever, in that kind of believing, and it certainly isn't scriptural or part of the gospel. What does the word of God say...

Correct. So they don't need to repent of their sins to be saved. Then why do they need to repent of any sins they have committed?

Why did God forgive the person's sins? For what purpose? Then according to your understanding of the word of God, God had to forgive the person's sins to be saved, correct? That is not true. I know many people calling themselves a Christian or believer in Christ, who are very carnally minded...

Luk 8:11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Luk 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. Luk 8:13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive...

I haven't read any posts but one and it appears you sir are an atheist or at the very least, very carnally minded. People who are worldly minded, such as yourself, base all their reasoning on the laws of nature and the natural course of this physical world. There is a difference between Godly...

Agreed.

I don't troll anyone. If anything, I try to expose such. I have not receive any revelation on this subject so I am questioning some terms and expressions used in the Christian circle. Love is a fruit of the Spirit because of the Spirit that is in us. We love God because the Spirit of God in us...

Yes, I believe I understood you correctly, and that is why I was trying to correct you. I believe your understanding of what faith is, is incorrect. You are speaking in general terms, where I'm am speaking of specific works. Yours has no power of God in operation, but speak in terms of general...

Are you saying, that Galatians 5:19-20 says works of the flesh are considered good works? I hope not, because all those things listed are bad works.

Most Christians believe any kind gesture or act of kindness is considered a "good work" in the eyes of God. I just wanted to make a distinction between what many see something they do, as a good work and what I believe, God says is a good work. And like I said earlier, just eating your food in...

How could you get the first part so right and the second so wrong? Could it be because you don't understand what faith is or how it works? James asks a very simple question in 2:14, with an obvious answer. That being, NO. Jas 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath...

Please read post # 84, as it should address your post as well.

My point is, if it doesn't involve faith, it doesn't please God, and if He is not pleased, then does it still constitute a good work? Is a good work the same as doing a good thing or deed? I had someone offer to do a good deed for me, only to find out after he started this work, his motive was...

Please read post 47. That's my take on giving to the poor and, though I didn't include it in my post, going to church. I believe a good work has to do with the power of God moving in a situation, NOT what we do per se.

Pro 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. Pro 28:27 He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse. Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master...

What kind of works are you not born of? The law or moral works? What do you consider to be the bible's definition of a good work? Giving to the poor or going to church?

I have read many of your responses, and from what I have seen, you are not challenging your beliefs, but that of the true believers in Christ. Posing oneself as being open minded, yet openly trying to overthrow the faith of some, makes you a snake, or a wolf under the guise of searching for the...
