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

if you anger god

YES.

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
