    The Question Islam and Christianity Can't Answer

    Where in the Bible does it say saved by faith not works? Ephesians 2:8-10 King James Version (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good...

    Why would you get married?

    Salvation for believers but not 'from' anything since there is no original sin to be saved from. We only need to be saved from our own shortcomings, our lower nature that opposes our higher spiritual nature. The way we are saved from those is by following the teachings and laws of God that...

    Buffet religion or Jesus Christ

    I think you are confusing or missing the biblical reality that good works are the result or evidence of salvation… that one has already received as a free gift through God’s grace. You don’t have to agree, but that’s what I believe the scriptures are saying. “In the Parable of the Sheep and...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Your post here makes no sense. According to the Hebrew bible there is only seven days in the week and God not me tells us in Genesis 2:1-3 and in Gods Sabbath commandment in the 10 commandments that "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God" in Exodus 20:10. According to the...

    "THE LORD'S DAY IS THE SABBATH DAY NOT SUNDAY ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURES

    Oh, I read your OP quite carefully and yes, it's missing a valid premise. In fact, there appears to be a quite a bit missing, but I'm sure this is mere appearance, one you and/or your fellow Sabbatarians can quickly dispel for us, at least for your fellow Christians who do not hold to a...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    And yet there are clear passages that say over and over just belief /faith brings salvation. "not of works, lest anyone should boast." Then we get For you render to each one according to his works. Psalm 62:12 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin...

    There is no evidence for God, so why do you believe?

    “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. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-10‬...

    What is the Gospel?

    There are 2 Types of works and they are here in this verse: “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. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared...

    Satanists Claim Abortion a Religious Ritual

    If there were a shred of objective evidence for any deity I might be inclined to believe it existed, if there were sufficient objective evidence then I would accept it existed, though I still wouldn't care what it wanted though. Now try to imagine how I feel about you making the entirely...

    Satanists Claim Abortion a Religious Ritual

    Good morning Viker. This is quoted from our Statement of Doctrine: We affirm that as obedient children it is necessary to keep all of the commandments, statutes, and judgments (except the ritual and animal sacrifice Laws) which the Heavenly Father gave to Israel to make them a separate people...

    "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

    Part 2 Did you read my responses to these in my previous posts? Please re-read and respond. Before I answer this, I had stated earlier "It is not contrary to any written text in the Bible. It is contrary to the commentaries about and additions to the scriptures by the "by grace alone, through...

    "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

    I am not sure how some of the verses you listed, such as John 21:19-22 or Hebrews 9:16-18 have any application to or support the necessity of baptism for salvation. The churches I have attended teach the Bible expository style, meaning the pastor goes through one book, verse by verse, teaching...

    "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

    Thank you. None of us do. That is an outside accusation. That doesn't come from us. I hope you read my post on why you believe baptism is a very important step of obedience. You can't tell me you've ever read it in the Bible. It is not contrary to any written text in the Bible. It is contrary to...

    The truth, the path to God

    Clara Tea's opinion: It seems like a joint effort to get into heaven. Part is goodness from ourselves. The other part is forgiveness from God (who demanded a blood sacrifice and horrible torture of his son, Jesus, in order to forgive us). You'd think that a loving God wouldn't horribly...

    The truth, the path to God

    A person can try to live these commandments and we should. The problem is we fail, we try to earn our way and in our striving we miss that salvation is a gift from God through Jesus Christ. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not...

    What Is Biblical Faith?

    You didn't even once cite the texts that explain on a fundamental level, the antithesis that exists between faith and works? By definition alone, the principles are incompatible - you either earn your salvation, or it is by the grace of God that one is saved. What are you going to do, somehow...

    Arkansas inflicts child abuse on its school children

    Make up your mind...why did God say righteous Lot? I told you what I meant by all our works are like filthy rags and you didn’t understand or get what I was saying. This is a basic understanding of works for a baby believer. Yet you smart people don’t get it. Maybe this will help. “For by grace...

    Can the soul die?

    Hello, saw the title was Can the soul die? My conclusion: No but you can forfeit or exchange your soul for the world if you desire. Here is Jesus Christ talking to His Disciples about Eternal life compared to material life. Matthew 16: 24Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to...

    WHat is Passover?

    I'm not bothered by what Christian scriptures say, the Torah is clearly works and faith based.
