Sorry I do not believe you. For me I prefer the scriptures you choose not to believe with your words that are not Gods Word. I guess Isaiah 6:9-10 is applicable here. So I will leave this between you and God to work through and we will agree to disagree.
Fact of the matter is that I have already posted scripture for you but you did not believe them. Lets be honest now. There is no scripture that teaches we are saved by faith in Gods Words and something else right? We are saved by Gods grace that we receive through faith that comes from Gods Word (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:17) that Jesus says we are to live by in Matthew 4:4 and that is the only standard of what is true and what is not true in John 17:17 and Romans 3:4. There is no scripture that teaches we are saved by faith and something else or you would have already posted that scripture but instead you post your words in disagreement with Gods Word that teaches there is no salvation outside of believing and obeying what Gods Word says.
Our believe in Gods Word is directly relevant according to the scriptures and the very point of this OP. If we do not believe and obey Gods Word according to the scriptures we are still in our sins because we do not believe and obey what Gods Word says.

Yes.
Which has absolutely nothing to do with presenting a verse that states scripture only.
You are now bearing false witness.
You really do seem to enjoy chasing your own tail

It has everything to do with our discussion. Fact of the matter is that I have already posted scripture for you but you did not believe them. Lets be honest now. There is no scripture that teaches we are saved by faith in Gods Words and something else right? We are saved by Gods grace that we receive through faith that comes from Gods Word (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:17) that Jesus says we are to live by in Matthew 4:4 and that is the only standard of what is true and what is not true in John 17:17 and Romans 3:4. There is no scripture that teaches we are saved by faith and something else or you would have already posted that scripture but instead you post your words in disagreement with Gods Word that teaches there is no salvation outside of believing and obeying what Gods Word says.
No. Posting scriptures in disagreement with you is not bearing false witness about you. It is tell you the truth (see John 17:17)
Lets be specific. You never made what claim?
Sorry I do not believe you. You did not state any facts and your claims that the bible does not teach our salvation is through scripture alone is unbiblical as demonstrate to you already through the scriptures you choose not to believe (see Ephesians 2:8 comp. Romans 10:17; John 3:36; Matthew 7:21-23; 1 John 2:3-4; 2 Timothy 3:16 and Matthew 4:4)
Well aren't you the funny one. Here I was thinking this is what you are doing which is why I said I do not believe you and we will agree to disagree. I will leave it between you and God to work through.
Actually that is not true. The Sabbath is one of Gods 10 commandments which is repeated in the old and new covenants as the standard for Christian living and right and wrong doing (Exodus 20:8-11; 1 John 3:4). Jesus taught us how to keep the Sabbath and that it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day (see Matthew 12:1-12) and that He is the Lord even of the Sabbath day and that God made it originally for all mankind (Mark 2:27-28).
Yes they were not breaking the Sabbath in Jesus eye. They were not working on the Sabbath by just eating corn directly from the field. It is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day. You are lacking understanding about the Sabbath. It is one of Gods 10 commandments that gives us the knowledge of what sin is when broken, just like lying or stealing. You do not believe God if you think you can continue in known unrepentant sin against God and enter His Kingdom.
You are incorrect. Harvesting is work, no matter what way you slice it. And you really can't use the "it is lawful to do good" because absolutely nothing stopped them from picking the grain the day before. And even though they were lazy bones and didn't bother to prepare, Jewish culture is very big on hospitality. All they had to do was find a family to help them out. It is the norm in close knit Jewish communities and synagogues to make sure that everyone has a place to go for Shabbat Table. In fact, picking that grain was so totally unnecessary, that I suspect the entire story to be a fabrication.
Wrong! They were not harvesting. Seems someone does not know the scriptures. Go read them.
What do you think picking grain is called? Harvesting.
Go read the scriptures (Matthew 12:1-12). They were not harvesting or working. They were hungry and eating grain directly from the field. Do you know what the difference is between harvesting grain and eating some grain directly from plants in the field not taking anything more because you are hungry? The law of Moses so expressly allowed the plucking ears of corn as one passed through a field (see Deuteronomy 23:25,) but the Scribes and Pharisees were perverse enough to think this action forbidden on the sabbath. This prohibition is a Pharisaic rule not found in the Mosaic Law. It was a principle with the Pharisees to extend the provisions of the Law and make minute regulations over and beyond what Moses commanded, in order to avoid the possibility of transgression. Jesus responds to His accusers and gives two examples: (1.) a case of David and his companions doing something of which he comments 'which was not lawful' by eating the shew bread in the temple; and (2.) a case of Priests doing what he describes as 'desecrating the sabbath' by doing Gods work ministering to the people on the Sabbath day. His argument teaches us that God regards "mercy not sacrifice" and that He is Lord the Sabbath day and it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath. Lets not strain at the gnat to swallow a camel. Eating a grain of corn in the field because of hunger is not harvesting or working on the Sabbath. God desires mercy not sacrifice and it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath day.
They harvested grain.
They were not harvesting grain. They were hungry and eating grain directly from the field as a meal (read Matthew 12:1-12). Do you know what the difference is between harvesting grain and eating some grain directly from plants in the field not taking anything more because you are hungry? The law of Moses so expressly allowed the plucking ears of corn as one passed through a field (see Deuteronomy 23:25) but the Scribes and Pharisees were perverse enough to think this action forbidden on the sabbath.
Your denial does not change the reality.
why do you insult fiction? it is a wonderful genre of literature. Is the message of teh Good Samaritan any less powerul knowing that there was not a historical good samaritan?
