“faith without works is dead”... James 2:20. A “true” living Christianity is a combination of both faith and works. We are entitled to your own opinions but not our own interpretations.

Merry Christmas.

That's a good verse. I believe this lesser-known passage makes a stronger statement to the indolent man who believes his Biblically-illiterate profession of faith will save him:

"To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work." - Titus 1:15-16

To those of who believe it is fine to do none of God's good work, I suggest you find out what Jesus does to trees that bear no fruit in their season.
