[Safrguns]

If you cannot distinguish between faith in action, and works of the flesh, then the entire bible becomes a nonsensical collection of contradictions... or in other words... "foolishness";

1Cr 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

" If you cannot distinguish between faith in action, and works of the flesh, then the entire bible becomes a nonsensical collection of contradictions "

That's because ? the preaching of the Cross of Jesus Christ ( saved by Grace, saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, and not by works ) is " foolishness " to those who are perishing.

1 Corinthians 1:18
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
