do you think hes gonna let you in heaven just like that? no
That's what we've been trying to say this whole time
That's what we mean by works
just be a good person, you know how to be one by doing whats right in your heart
if youre doing evil stuff like cheating, youre going to get one on one with god in life
A man of faith who does evil, by his evil deeds is failing to live according to that faith
yes but i say to you, he who does evil has never truly believed
for if he did, he wouldnt have done that evil
dont you think it hurts god if you hurt another human being, by cheating for example?
dont you know god is love
god is a living god
In other words there are certain things which are objectively right and wrong, and God calls us to live in a certain way. To follow him we must obey his commandments
to follow him we must be good persons
but be honest, thats just common sense too
to say otherwise is wicked
But the fetish for Faith alone misses the point
no it does not
because if you believe in a god that knows right from wrong
and you want to join him after death
People truly believe that one's actions don't matter
thats bad
That you will automatically be forgiven
read the last verse
i sent
its not true
After all they are "saved"
the things that are obviously wrong to us, like cheating, are just as obviously wrong to god
thats why i refer to the law that is written in our hearts, of which the bible speaks of
I don't believe that it's all obvious
well thats silly
There are many people from many walks of life. Some will be surprised
whats the point of a relationship if you cheat?
it defeats the purpose
Hell in the old days there were pagan converts to the early church who had multiple wives and viewed it as normal to worship gods and demons
Of course Paul had to explain
dont you think god interfered in those lives
X is bad. Y is good
addressed their souls
addressed them after death
god is a living god
