If typing "b" and "blockquote" you can separate paragraphs with a simple "P."
If you use "I" for every sentence, you have to use "I /I P I" for every new sentence.
Once again, idiotic deflection.
James is saying a faith without works becomes dead.
That's not what the verse says.
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." -- James 2:17,20,26"Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
"Is dead." Present tense.
Faith without works is not true faith because it does not display the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are the good works of Christ within us.
His works.
It's a fact: I'm not interested in reading a whole post in bold. Whether or not you think it's idiotic to say so says more about you than about me.
Faith without works is not true faith because it does not display the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are the good works of Christ within us.
So it's still back to the "he wasn't really saved in the first place" argument then.
James says it four ways:
What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him?
So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead.
You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
faith apart from works is dead.
Faith without works is not true faith because it does not display the fruits of the Holy Spirit, which are the good works of Christ within us.
His works.
Beautifully said, Dr. E! Thank you ever so much for your testimony!
