[MHGinTN]When will you read the posts I’ve already posted for you? The answer to your demand is there, if you but read the posts. ... Can you hear me now?

You posted pages and pages that did everything but answer the question. Your posts ducked, dodged, weaved, hid, misdirected, confused, created strawmen, tore down strawmen, and everything else but give a direct answer.

I'm not asking for you to be a Mormon. I'm not asking you to agree with Mormons. I'm not asking you to do anything that would give you Mormon cooties.

I'm asking you to agree with James of the New Testament.

James 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

I just don't get your attitude. I honestly don't.

You yell Bible! Bible! Bible! Christian! Christian! Christian! But yet you refuse to acknowledge the simplest phrase in the Bible.

I'd have thought you'd be shouting this from the roof tops.
Well anyways... you can't get around it. The requirement is right there written for all to see.

I guarantee you one thing .. Jesus Christ will not forget it at the judgment. This is an eternal law.

Luke 6:46 - 47
46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them,...

The words of Jesus Himself.

John 6: 28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Works will only result in condemnation. They can’t save you. If you sin only once, you are guilty of the whole Law. You can live a perfect live from now on and it’s not going to do any good because of that once.

THAT’S why works don’t save, because you have to keep the WHOLE Law. Only Jesus did that.

Galatians 2:20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

You yell Bible! Bible! Bible! Christian! Christian! Christian! But yet you refuse to acknowledge the simplest phrase in the Bible.

Instead of responding to Rom 5:6-8 you whined to the RM. Tells all that MHG is not the one who cannot refuse to acknowledge the simplest phrase in the Bible.

Allow me to be the fourth one on this thread to offer to your childish demand, James is correct in what he wrote to fellow Jewish converts to Christ.

Your specious spin on what he wrote and taught I will not agree to, your momronism spin being opposite what James taught which agrees with the rest of the New Testament teaching that faith comes then works instituted by the leadership of the Holy Spirit within the beliver follow, else the faith is not 'faithing'.

With James I agree, and it was a journey of deep study that lead me to that agreement, but with your heretical interpretation of what James said I will not agree, your childish insults notwithstanding. Is there something else you need help with, bless your little heart?

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them,...

I just LOVE the things Jesus says!

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"

Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

I guarantee you one thing .. Jesus Christ will not forget it at the judgment. This is an eternal law.

Do you consider posting that statement to a believer as one of your good works?

Luke 6:46 - 47 46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? 47 Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them,..

Does the above not apply to you, also?

There is no doubt there is a log and splinter in play here. And that goes under 'doeth'.
