I would say faith is trust in the Lord, to follow even if you don't know the reason for things.
Salvation would be God's forgiveness of you, and your justification and redemption.
And works, things or actions that you do in the world.

2021-02-17 18:37:43 UTC  

agreed

2021-02-17 18:39:36 UTC  

11 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
Hebrews 11:1-3

Rest in peace Rush Limbaugh, may God find a place for you in eternal rest <:slpyDorime:733596141249364028>

2021-02-17 19:23:42 UTC  

The warrior finally gets to rest.

2021-02-17 21:59:15 UTC  

That is true, but being religeous isnt a good quality in general. Jesus hated it in the church leadership of his day.

2021-02-17 22:04:06 UTC  

Church leadrship of his day?

2021-02-17 22:04:12 UTC  

Pharasies

2021-02-17 22:04:20 UTC  

he had a LOT to say about them

2021-02-17 22:04:20 UTC  

Yup

2021-02-17 22:04:48 UTC  

Jesus didnt believe in religion, he believed in making a difference.

2021-02-17 22:05:14 UTC  

Yes, i truly agree on that one

2021-02-18 13:28:58 UTC  

He was a Jew

2021-02-18 13:29:17 UTC  

So yes he did believe in religion

2021-02-18 13:29:39 UTC  

But he agreed more with bringing people to God and to heaven

2021-02-18 13:30:16 UTC  

And saving humanity from sin

2021-02-18 13:34:14 UTC  

Jesus did not believe in religion. Religion is not the same as faith. There are millions of christians who think going to church and acting religious on sunday is all they need to be "good with god."

2021-02-18 13:34:26 UTC  

they have no faith what so ever

2021-02-18 13:35:15 UTC  

and the moment something bad happens they will go "How can a good god do such bad things? I dont beleive in him anymore." despite beliving in him in the same way a person beleives in a vending machine.

2021-02-18 16:44:15 UTC  

You’re right, you need so much more than that

2021-02-18 16:45:26 UTC  

They need to implement the readings heard on Sunday into their every day lives. Which is why priests or deacons usually say “Go and announce the Good News of God.” At the very end of mass

2021-02-18 17:27:11 UTC  

Well i mean look at James 1:27. God, first and foremost, wants a relationship with you. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want you to do good works. Rather, he wants those works to be a result of your faith, instead of works being the entirety of your faith.

2021-02-18 18:46:04 UTC  

thats a great way to put it!

2021-02-18 18:48:55 UTC  

i found an interesting principle while reading my bible and thats that before we are saved we have to follow the 10 commandments, but when we get saved we GET to follow the law. sometimes it feels like some Christians make it sound like the law is bad but technically its the way God wants us to live our lives so it must be the best way to live. just my thoughts on the subject of works in regards to faith

2021-02-18 18:52:11 UTC  

Exactly

2021-02-18 18:52:31 UTC  

God isnt a buzzkill, he has rules for a reason, and he wants us to live our best lives with Him.

2021-02-18 18:55:53 UTC  

yeah, and the rules are good, we just don't see it that way sometimes :/

2021-02-18 18:58:41 UTC  

Yep

2021-02-18 19:26:58 UTC  

So this is an interesting video, basically explains how the jews are not God's chosen people, the Israelites are. (no this does not mean it's okay to hate jews. It's a historical misunderstanding)

2021-02-18 19:27:44 UTC  

(also if I need to move the video, just let me know. I figured it would be best suited here as it pertains to religion and religion history)

2021-02-18 19:44:40 UTC  

Chosen for what?

2021-02-18 19:46:52 UTC  

If my knowledge is correct then it would be his chosen people to bring forth Jesus, but I don't know the lineage of Joseph. I do know he is a son of David though.

2021-02-18 19:47:14 UTC  

Read genealogy of jesus

2021-02-18 19:47:58 UTC  

Bible gives genealogy from Joseph and mary side

2021-02-18 19:50:24 UTC  

yeah, Matthew 1 gives the full genealogy all the way from Adam iirc

2021-02-18 19:51:08 UTC  

Judah is a jew, and Jesus is from the Judah's lineage.

2021-02-18 19:51:58 UTC  

David is a Jew

2021-02-18 20:08:18 UTC  

i'm acctualy fuzzy on where the term Jew came from

2021-02-18 20:08:24 UTC  

can anyone explain?

2021-02-18 20:16:03 UTC  

Tribe of Judah
