No. I posted a scripture verse. The verse I quoted does not say works do not matter. Neither is there any scripture verse that says works do not matter. Do you believe that works do matter or that works do not matter or neither?
Then why did you bring that verse?
Ephesians 2:8-9 NASB was shared as a part of my response to Squeaky's post.
Are you aware that I was responding to his post?
What is meant by this? Is it correct?
God watches everything you do and say
Jacob believes exactly like you meshak
I don't understand what is being said.
I see Jesus' Commandments (Rule, Law, Order). I have no idea how you put these things, these words, together. Is what is being communicated here correct? Is it Biblical? Is it scriptural?
Do you know what Jesus' Commandments are? What is meant by Rule, Law, Order? Being in parentheses, is it somehow to be understood that this refers to Jesus' Commandments? I don't know if there is an intended connection that is being made or what it is or what it would be if I were to understand it.
I said
You have two threads with titles. (Do You Read) and (Who Are You). Neither are a verse or written in scripture. They are titles of threads that you started. Them titles arouse curiosity in people to open your thread. Everyone does it even me.
Yes.
Does your title come from anything in scripture?
I said
Yes Passions.The flesh is full of passions(emotions). Everyone of these works of the flesh are emotions or passions.
Gal 5:24
24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
(NKJ)
Gal 5:17-21
17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,
21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(NKJ)
No. You are incorrect. And, you did not answer the question.
Passions are not emotions. I don't know why you suggest that they are.
Why do you refer to Jesus' Commandments in your thread title?
Why do you say this (see the following) in your first post?
JESUS COMMANDMENTS (RULE, LAW, ORDER)
What does (RULE, LAW, ORDER) have to do with JESUS COMMANDMENTS or Jesus' Commandments? The thread title does not say JESUS COMMANDMENTS (RULE, LAW, ORDER). I can see this, so I know this.
What do you mean by RULE?
What do you mean by LAW?
What do you mean by ORDER?

Well that is progress...
but of course we choose to establish the Law how we wish...as long as we are convinced in our own mind...
