You sly flatterer, you! Funny, in hind site, I can honestly say I never had you pegged as a flatterer. I'm severely understating that too. Wow, you're good!

No we CANNOT OBEY anything TO BE SAVED.
God does the saving all on His own because it pleases Him to do so.

Not of yourselves mean I didn't have to do the cleaning works myself by getting circumcised and adhering to a dietary law. Jesus cleaned me.
Galatians 6:13 Not even those who are circumcised keep the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your circumcision in the flesh.
You have no understanding because you listened to the teachings of false teachers.
You can't shame me for obeying Jesus.

I do not have to be careful about preaching the truth that we have to obey Jesus to get saved and to stay saved.
I am preaching the truth and I have to obey that too.

We CANNOT OBEY anything TO BE SAVED.
Salvation is ALL OF GOD.
He decided to save.
We CANNOT REPENT of anything UNTIL GOD does the saving and then the Holy Spirit comes in and our hearts are contrite.
James is talking to ALREADY saved.
James 1:1 - James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren,...

Go find out what the Bible says about that kind of flattery.
Okay... here it is... I am totally at the end of the road for quoting any scripture to you, as if you read it for any other reason than to counter with your perspective.
Could you please give me a list of scriptural commands from Jesus that I need to obey for salvation?
I mean a complete list. Could you please give me the commandments of Jesus that I need to Obey to be saved?
I don't want to miss Heaven. My soul is now in your hands. What commands of Jesus... list them please... I don't want to "burn"... do I need to follow?

James says faith alone cannot save.
James also says that even the demons believe and do something.

Then I guess you are going to have to learn Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek so you can do the translation yourself...

Bright Raven, me flattery you, today.
Exactly.
Like this... James 2:25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
Rahab was a whore and believed that God would spare here if she helped the messengers. Did you catch that? She was a saved prostitute that had faith in her redeemers. She trusted the 2 spies more than the vast protection of Jericho.
Hmmmmmm... :think:
Jericho seems an awful lot like a prophetic occurrence that mimics the DAY OF THE LORD. All of Rehabs life had been as a "Sex Worker" and by simply trusting in the God of the Spies, she was SAVED.
This use of James bolsters your point how?

How do you know that is really what the original said?
The translator might have been in the wrong denomination.
What are you going to do if the translator is in the wrong denomination?
Are you going to learn Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek to make sure that the translation you are defending comes from the right denomination?

The Bible is translated into English. I do not use Mr. Strong to tell me what the scriptures mean. Jesus tells me what the scriptures mean.

You use Rahab as an example against me when the scripture us what she did as an example of how we must do a right action.
By the way, since you brought up Rahab. She ended up living among the Jews and obeyed the law.
James 2:25 In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies and sent them off in a different direction?
24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
hahahahahahaha Oh how I love the Word of God.
The same Jesus that says this?
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
Let's see that in lights!

How do you know you approve of the translators? They might be of the wrong denomination.
