Hundreds if not thousands of posts over the past six months have spelled out the Truth in detail including abundant Scripture citations. Those who whine and play diversion, Straw Man, and Red Herring games now did the same through all those detailed posts. They cannot accept the Truth because they worship, The Most High Self, claim they are infallible, interpret Scripture to suit themselves, call Christian religious holidays like Christmas and Easter pagan holidays, and even call Christ Himself a liar by denying that He is really present in the Eucharist when Christ clearly said He was really present therein.

Don't accept the extremely clear meaning of James 2:24 and, " ... not by faith only"?

Titus 3:9    but avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law. For they are unprofitable and vain.
Titus 3:10 A man that is a heretic, after the first and second admonition, avoid:
Titus 3:11 Knowing that he, that is such an one, is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned by his own judgment.

Those who continue to deny the deity of Christ can fool themselves however they like, but they should get used to the idea of hearing, "I never knew you" from the very Jesus Christ they deny is God.

>> Don't accept the extremely clear meaning of James 2:24 and, " ... not by faith only"?

Why keep trying to deceive people? Use the whole verse and then Jesus own words as to what that work is.

James 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

“Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.” John 6:28-29

To continue the attempt to deceive is dishonoring what Jesus said. It’s also calling others like Paul and the Holy Spirit who guided them to write liars.

Rom. 3:28-30, "For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29 Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one."

Rom. 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as righteousness,"

Rom. 5:1, "therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,"

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.

Phil. 3:9, "and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."

So you see. Its faith and belief in Christ which saves. Jesus explained it clearly. The works of God is belief in Christ. The works of man do not save.

To try to lead people to deny what Jesus said is dangerous.

Luke 17:2 It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin.
