So the Good news is the same old bad news recycled?
The problem is those scriptures are being read without spiritual understanding and out of context .
1Cr 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.None of them being saved by the law or works my friend.. If the method of salvation remained the law and works..why did Christ bither to come??
Jesus preached the gospel.. what do you think he was telling people ..
First to be pleasing to God any work of love we do must arise out of His grace. We believe works and faith both come from grace and the merit for them is due to God alone. They are a way of giving evidence of our faith in the love of Christ for us and for others.
We know Saint Paul would not reject what Christ said so what do you believe those verses mean? Or are those verses meant to trick us into doing good works and see how let’s themselves be condemned by such action?
