>>>You have been trying to take credit for the “works” you do by saying you will be judged by the “good works” when it’s not you doing them. Still want to claim those are your “good works”?<<<
I don’t recall claiming I have done any good works, at all; not even so much as helping an elderly lady cross the street. Of course, my memory is not as good as it used to be. Could you provide a post#?
>>>I see that all the time here in these threads. Arrogant man thinking it’s he who does the “good works”. Paul said “that no man should boast”.<<<
I recall one of my earliest encounters when I came on this forum was with an arrogant, self-righteous, bossy know-it-all: clothed with the pretense of being some sort of “saint,” while falsely labeling me a preterist and a heretic. Anyone come to mind?
By the way, are you a saint? I asked you that question previously, but I did not see an answer. A simple yes or no will do.
Thanks, and may God bless you,
Philip
Quote from you: “we are most definitely judged according to our works”.
Quote from you: “We are judged by works.”
Quote from you: “We all get judged for our individual works, whether they be good or whether they be evil.”
Now tell me something. If it’s Jesus working through us rather than we doing the works why would we be judged for what Jesus does? The only way a person can make the statement “We will all get judged for our individual works” is if he thinks it’s him who is doing them rather than giving Jesus credit.
>>By the way, are you a saint?<<
Yes, I am. Paul called all believers saints.
The word “saint” comes from the Greek word hagios, which means “consecrated to God, holy, sacred, pious." It is almost always used in the plural, “saints.”
Acts 9:13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem.
Acts 9:32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Acts 26:10 And I did so in Jerusalem. I not only locked up many of the saints in prison after receiving authority from the chief priests, but when they were put to death I cast my vote against them.
Romans 12:13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
Romans 15:25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints.
Romans 16:15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them.
Ephesians 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
Put away those Preterist glasses and scripture will become more clear to you.
