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?

works is just being a good human being

one furfills the law by loving one another

how much clearer do you want it to be?

So if I love my wife it's okay if I cheat on her

Because I love her deep down

are you a good human being if you cheat?

It's almost as if there are RULES that must be obeyed

It's almost as if your WORKS are how you demonstrate your faith

Romans 3:20

New International Version
Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God's sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin.

it is almost as if god is pointing out you shouldnt be a prick

No, the rule "don't cheat on your spouse" isnt merely there to prove that we are sinners. It's a rule that God wants us to obey

And failure to do so is unacceptable

Fuck this new age bs where there are no rules

the righteous lives by faith

its not new age bs

its just the truth

It doesn't matter how much you claim to love your wife, to believe in God, to love God, to be a Christian...if you cheat on your wife, you've failed.

Galatians 3

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[e] 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”[f] 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[g] 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[h] 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

By Faith

*By faith*

What is your point?

so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

No more rules?

that not by the law

but by faith

And?

You're just deflecting

Address my point

If a so called Christian cheats then he has failed as a Christian, right?
