RCC say ' works is needed for salvation '.

Bible say "faith without works is dead" James 2:20


There is no need to discuss anything further.

Does that mean we won't be seeing you here anymore? Oh, well...

[presently no screen name]

You read that I was speaking of salvation - YET you deliberately ignored it. Deception is not blessed but condemned as it’s from the pit of hell.

Now - James IS NOT talking about salvation. Not knowing that shows your total lack of understanding God’s Word.

That being said .... here it is again.

God’s Word says For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—NOT BY WORKS, so that no one can boast.

RCC say ‘ works is needed for salvation ‘. So don’t say God’s Word is the final authority for the RCC. WE ALL KNOW BETTER and I just gave you ONE Scripture where the RCC, the ‘infallible’ pope is WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!

Bible say "faith without works is dead" James 2:20

Luke 23:
[39] One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
[40] But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
[41] And we indeed justly; for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."
[42] And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
[43] And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

And what was this man's "work"? It was FAITH!

Bible say "faith without works is dead" James 2:20

James is addressing those who SAY or CLAIM they have FAITH.

Those who have a True Saving Faith (trusting in Christ alone for salvation) and are regenerated WILL PRODUCE works.

Those who SAY THEY HAVE FAITH but have no change in their lives are most likely fooling themselves and others.

Fig trees produce figs not thorns. Thorn bushes don't produce figs to BECOME FIG Trees.

Salvation is an unmerited GIFT given through FAITH that WILL PRODUCE works.
