According to Romans 10:8–13, whoever declares with their mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believes in their heart that God raised him from the dead will be saved. Not only that, but they are justified by the belief in their heart and the profession of their faith in Jesus, and they will not be put to...
Not remotely the issue here. I DID NOT claim that Biblically there is salvtion by works.
Well, apparently the Bible contradicts itself concerning whether salvation is by faith alone or by faith and works.
And if your physically unable to "perform works", then what? Nobody is saved by "works".
Ephesians2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."
Yes we have to be born again to walk in Gods Spirit (John 3:3-7) and walking in Gods Spirit leads us to obey Gods Word from the inside out (Matthew 5:17-28). This is what Gods new covenant means by having Gods law now written on our hearts through love (see Jeremiah 31:31-34). Loving God however...
Can you please post me the link where you answered my question after saying you answered it? Also if you cannot post me the link where you answered my question above to you why are you pretending that you did? You do know that is not being honest right? Here let me ask you again and give you...
But the studied to find out that it wasn’t flat.
The Bible doesn’t say how old the earth is.
One has to do with salvation the other has to do with living (It is quite evident)
You did bring up the info… I can respond to it.
Subjective.
I don’t require that people believe as I do.
And I...
First of all they don't contradict one another. They would only contradict one another if Scripture said somewhere that man was saved by works alone. It doesn't says that anywhere unless you can show it. I'll wait here
Yes, I suspect that most Christians do. And you believe it by faith.
But I have no reason to believe that, or even that that or any other god exists or that one can be saved or unsaved. Faith plays no role in my deciding what is true about reality. A critically thinking empiricist is convinced...
That doesn't say ALONE. "You can see, that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone". Apparently you can't or won't see that. James is telling you that both works and faith are needed. It doesn't say works alone saves you but both do. People insist on ignoring what's being said.
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast,” (Ephesians2:8-9, NKJV).
Scientists do not propose the 'Earth is Flat' the Bible does,and geocentric universe less than 10,000yearsold..
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast,” (Ephesians2:8-9, NKJV).
and James 2:24...
My post did not object to the meaning of your selective use of the above passage, but the fact that there are conflicts and contradictions referred to justify one's interpretation over another, and make accusations of those that believe differently
“For by grace you have been saved through...

Oh did you, my apologies. Perhaps I missed it. Can you please post me the link where you answered my question above your post here saying you answered it? Also if you cannot post me the link where you answered my question above to you why are you pretending that you did?
Your response here
Then you should have no problems answering the question in the post you are quoting from based on the scriptures but I see you still have not answered it. I did not add any words to the issue. That was the original question I asked you the first time you commented on Sola...
I have no problems answering your questions. You're adding words to the issue at hand however, and they are big words. I am not saying that understanding the bible and it's principles is not important - it certainly is, and your verses prove that bible knowledge is very important.
Your response here...
Then you should not have any problems answering my questions. But it seems you do. If we are saved by Gods grace through faith (Ephesians2:8) and faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17) how can you have saving faith if the scriptures are not...
Where did I say to you they are the same thing? I was only posting that faith comes from Gods Word according to the scriptures (Romans 10:17). Therefore the scriptures are the only rule of faith. That is what is true and what is not true and what we are saved by (Ephesians2:8).
