Is it true that belief without works is dead for Christian?
dead bird? dead, dead bird? ain't gonna fly dead bird?
the flip is also bad....
working to the goal that you don't believe in
I assume it works, do you have belief in it?
Jesus' Sermon On the Mount is chock full of things we should do as Christians. It's "works under the [Jewish] Law" that are unnecessary, with the exception of those mandated by Jesus and the Apostles.
might be a little overkill for my small kitchen. i was just trying to prove thief's point
thanks for the smile yesterdayHmm, we are open plan, over 900 square feet of marble tiles it takes a lot of work and belief to keep it clean.

They tend to reflect Martin Luther's "saved by grace alone" belief. Then their position has it that if one is a "true believer" they will do good works that Jesus taught.so why do you suppose some christians practice anthropolatry instead of doing the work of the sermon on the mount?
What do you mean by "works" here?Is it true that belief without works is dead for Christian?
jesus was focusing on the needy and not those who have to much time and anythingWhat do you mean by "works" here?
If a Christian explains to me that my marriage to another dude makes me a hell bound sinner, and truly believes that he's preaching the Word of God in an attempt to save my soul, does that count as "works"?

That's not an answer to my question.jesus was focusing on the needy and not those who have to much time of anything on their hands.
Plenty are in churches only as a tradition or social group identity, without belief in Christ risen. They are very ready to put their trust and hope and faith in a mortal man, then. (which is expressly instructed against in scripture)so why do you suppose some christians practice anthropolatry instead of doing the work of the sermon on the mount? why focus on the negative vs the positive?
like matthew 7:22
