Jhn 13:34
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.


A new commandment does not cancel out the others.

1 John 2:4
The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

Mathew 5
43 You have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thy enemy. 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you:

Luke 10 25:37
Tells us how we are to love.

Also Luke 6
12 All things therefore whatsoever you would that men should do to you, do you also to them. For this is the law and the prophets.

The above is what James was talking about.

Mathew 7
21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day: Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many miracles in thy name?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

Now... if you want to hold onto the law, go right ahead.... you will be judged according to it.

I prefer Grace..........


I am pretty ignorant but not so dumb that i do not know the difference between the works of the law and the works of faith.

Paul was talking about the works of the law.

Jesus and James was talking about the works of faith, don`t you get it?

It does take some Bible reading to see the difference, but just hang in there and you will come along.

I’m taking you back to your first reply to me:

Me: You cannot be saved by your works. This does not nullify works as being commanded or desirable.

You: Ok, i understand and i agree.

Now I ask you what you were agreeing with... because you have apparently completely flipped from your first post.

>>> Jesus and James was talking about the works of faith, don`t you get it?

Please define “work of faith” in a single sentence.

Then give me an example of a work of faith that we can apply to our lives today.

“Following His commandments” is too broad. Give me a specific example.
