i have never known you
thereby pointing out that they did not truly believe at all
a christian life means being a good person. and yes, the bible is god's word. the bible says to give your life for your friend is an expression of the greatest love
the bible also says the letter kills
so to read the bible to save another person or teach him is to give your life
At this point I am convinced that the debate is based solely on different ways of communicating the same thing
the only thing im pointing out is
do not rely on your works thinking you will be saved because of them
rely on your faith
You say faith alone, I say faith without works is dead, but we both believe that a man of faith must live his faith out
god does not love boasters
well he does love them
but he isnt satisfied with them
yes but even if one is not a believer, one is already a good person most of the time
so works isnt really that much of an issue
just be a good person
The point you're getting at is without God's freely given offer of salvation to us, we would fall short
yes
all glory to christ
all glory to god
yes
Well duh
if you were to present to him and say
i have helped 50 people, i have done this and i have done that
he will probably say something like, you have fallen hort
short*
if this is how you present yourself to me
for why didnt you have faith?
but
he wont throw that person into hell
he will just point this out
Yet, let us never become complacent and pretend that it is acceptable to sin because we have faith
youre forgetting about god's grace
grace has defeaten sin
No I'm not!
sin no longer applies
grace actually made the true distinction
for mankind
of good and evil
Is it acceptable to cheat on your wife
