I presume we are also to trust the various writers who wrote the various books of the Bible and the men who decided which books would be included and cannonized

are you assuming god is a dumbass? lol

So He cares about our works now?

he doesnt care about work at all

Read James

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?
