So you now want to put me to work on a holiday??? What is wrong with what Paul means by it there in Romans 4 ----

We obviously differ on what we think Scripture tells us about faith and works, so I'm asking you to simply tell us what a "work" is. Seems to me we'll never get very far in arguing over whether or not something is a "work" if we're operating from different definitions of the term.

So I ask again...please define for us exactly what constitutes a "work."

Shouldn't your question be to define what Paul means by the word "work or worketh" there in Romans 4??? Your Concordance works as well as mine.

Mine lists "exertion of effort, toil, labor, deeds, action". What does yours say?
