Another fraud is Jesus preached and healed for 3 years. It was actually one year.

Wait, I thought it was made abundantly clear to us earlier this year that if you didn't vote for Ted Cruz, then you weren't really saved?
About the faith and works thing. Sorry, but you’re wrong here.

Excellent list!
The scoffers and cultists are legion here on FR, especially with respect to the Rapture & Salvation Theology. Get ready...
#1 >>>1. “I must do _____ to be saved or keep doing _____ to stay saved.”<<<
Salvation is a totally different thing than Redemption:
“Faith without works is dead” ...
We can agree to disagree on that point, may you and yours have a blessed day.
I attend a church my wife calls “the hippy church”.
I like it because they let me wear sandals, and they sell lattes in the foyer, and I can bring my hangover.
It has grown enormously in the few years we have been attending, so much so that it has lost it’s core appeal. A lot of young people go there, and I got this odd feeling from all the chicks, as if they were looking to hook up or something. They are searching, but it ain’t God they’re looking for.
My friend informed me it’s part of the “Jesus is my boyfriend” demographic: They don’t want God. They want to feel safe, and maybe get laid if all goes well.
"See how a person is justified by works and not by faith alone." James 2:24
Yeah, that is the other book Luther wanted removed from the Bible.
The whole “don’t judge” thing is even more ridiculous when Matthew 7 is read just a little further down the chapter:
Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
These aren’t four-legged critters Christ is referring to. He’s commanding us to JUDGE whether certain people are “dogs” or “swine” and then refrain from evangelizing them once we know them for what they are.
“Swine” is easy, of course: Someone who insists on wallowing in his filth. “Dogs” is a euphemism for “male prostitute” in Hebrew. Christ spoke Aramaic, closely related to Hebrew.
The carnal man asks, "what must I do?"
The Man from Heaven responds, "the work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
What does it mean to "believe" to you? James 2:19 "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." Surely, there is more to belief than mere knowledge.
Belief is an action word. If you believe, you will do and there is much that we have been commanded to do.
Matt 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven."
Matt 12:50 "For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Luke 12:47 "The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows."
