Spoiler alert you're wrong

Right, so I could massacre a whole family and immediately go to heaven

Ephesians 2:8-9 New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

READ JAMES

this is already clear

so that no one can boast

no ofcourse not freshwholemilk

you'll go to hell

Faith without works is dead

James literally says faith w/o works is DEAD

or anywhere but heaven

works is to believe unto the one he sent

youve been trolled from day 1

You should try reading the Bible sometime

That’s faith

You gotta be trolling

This is too dumb

I have so much more respect for men like Martin Luther and the various old school prots than any of these new age hippies who want to do away with all organization, hierarchy, rules, structure

41 “I do not accept glory from human beings, 42 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. 43 I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. 44 How can you believe since you accept glory from one another but do not seek the glory that comes from the only God[d]?

It's spiritual Anarchy

I do not accept glory from human beings

Isaiah 64:6
Embed


6 vWe have all become like one who is unclean,

and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment.

wWe all fade like a leaf,

and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

What's your point

all our works are like dirty rags to the lord

Snake, he’s a troll

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

im not a troll

but pls reply to this:

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Look if we're playing a cherry picking game we can do this all day

And no progress will be made

for by faith you are saved through grace

you just havent truly believed

thinking works can save you

You can say "by faith alone" then I say "faith w/o works is dead" then you repeat yourself and so on

What's the point?

works is just being a good human being

one furfills the law by loving one another

how much clearer do you want it to be?

So if I love my wife it's okay if I cheat on her

Because I love her deep down

are you a good human being if you cheat?

It's almost as if there are RULES that must be obeyed

It's almost as if your WORKS are how you demonstrate your faith

Romans 3:20

New International Version
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

it is almost as if god is pointing out you shouldnt be a prick

No, the rule "don't cheat on your spouse" isnt merely there to prove that we are sinners. It's a rule that God wants us to obey

And failure to do so is unacceptable

Fuck this new age bs where there are no rules

the righteous lives by faith

its not new age bs

its just the truth

It doesn't matter how much you claim to love your wife, to believe in God, to love God, to be a Christian...if you cheat on your wife, you've failed.

Galatians 3

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[e] 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”[f] 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[g] 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[h] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

By Faith

*By faith*

What is your point?

so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

No more rules?

that not by the law

but by faith

And?

You're just deflecting

Address my point

If a so called Christian cheats then he has failed as a Christian, right?

Hebrews 10

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

read that

No. Address my point

I'm sick of you posting endless verses and refusing to engage

if he cheats while knowing the truth (that god is good) he was never a christian at all

nor was he ever in the book of life

Ok

So I have a question then

Didn't he have faith?

He knew the truth, that God is good. He believed. Did he not have faith?

And yet you claim (rightly) that he is no Christian.

you cant cheat god

ma dude

you cant cheat god out of his game

sorry but its not going to happen

Answer my question: did he have faith?

i dont understand

are you asking me

if he had faith when he cheated?

I'm asking if he had faith period

or if he knows the truth that god is good

in what situation are we speaking of

He believes in God

then he has faith

Yet he "was never a Christian" in your own words

if he deliberately cheats

What happened to "by faith alone"?

Suddenly it's more complicated

the law is written in our hearts

a man knows its wrong to cheat

Just admit it, ones actions matter

ones actions matter for one salvation
