Okay - verse by verse:
You didn't address any of it. You have no integrity. Why are you here?
I see that my response once again left you speechless and defenseless so you resort to name calling once again.
Wrong. I gave you you proof that you theory is false and you have intentionally ignored it. You are not spamming this thread trying to cover-up that you are a coward.
No, you are not. You won't discuss this post that I have to keep posting because you keep ignoring it. It is your undoing. It is the nail in your self-righteous coffin.
You miss the point of the question entirely. Is a mans faith revealed by the life he leads? Can a righteous man (made so by Christ and nothing else) lead an immoral life style of continuous sexual immorality (for instance)?
Not a chance.
Absolutely not. A man's faith is revealed by what he says he believes.
Yes he can, but his life will suffer for it. He will reap what he sows. Again, you are carnally minded. You think that you are better than the next guy, so you compare his behavior against yours and boast just like the Pharisee in the temple.
I disagree. Going back to your neighbor thread for a moment. I have far more reason to believe that your neighbor knows Christ based on how he lives than I have to believe that you are a Christian based on what you say. You are guilty of a different kind of self-righteousness, that's all. You have never once listened to what I say. Never. You have always judged me based on what you think I say, on what you think I believe, not on what I say or actually believe. That is self-righteousness on your part every single time you say somebody else is going to hell.
Of course you do. You don't believe the Gospel.
Then you would have to conclude that Mormons are saved if they behave to your standard of judgment. Paul rejects your view in Romans 2. The Pharisees had all the outward appearance, but Jesus said that what they say reveals what they believe. How you don't know or comprehend this can only be explained by the fact that you agree with the Pharisee.
That's just your way of acting childish. Nothing I've ever said on this site hints at righteousness apart from faith in Christ. You have no other recourse than to accuse me of your own problem.
What you believe has been fully expressed in what you say you believe. I do not judge according to the flesh, that is what you do.
Paul told people to go to hell that preach what you preach. You are too proud to admit your error, as you have always been. You would rather stay angry at me because of my insults directed at false teachers than believe the Gospel. You will be without excuse.
You're a moron.
Sins and crimes are not the same thing.:doh:
1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Yeah, those are in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10; apparently you didn't read any further.
Actually, I do. If you have ever paid attention to what I said you would know that I actually agree with you. Bob George taught me much.
Actually, I would conclude no such thing. Works are far to easily faked to be a reliable indicator of faith. But then words are no better. You can say all the right things and still not be a Christian. Words are just a different form of works. Sharing the Gospel is a work.ghost said:
Based on what you have actually said and how you say it, I cannot agree with you. You can and do come across as a self-righteous jerk. Sorry brother, but you do.ghost said:
Yet you still insist that I am a works based believer when I have said repeatedly that I am not. You believe what you want to believe and act accordingly.ghost said:
Of course you do. It is the flesh that sits at keyboards and types. All you can judge is the flesh because it is the flesh that speaks and the flesh that works. As I pointed out above, both works and words can and do lie. Only God can judge the faith in our hearts.ghost said:
Paul told people who preach salvation by faith to go to hell. That's new. (See, you once again ignored that I do not teach salvation by works. Never have, never will)ghost said:
In this particular case, I have made no error.ghost said:
I am not nor have I ever been angry at you.You are a brother in Christ and I agree with you - Salvation is by faith and faith alone. Where I disagree with you is in on your stance on works. In your zeal to get people to understand that their salvation is independent of works, you seem as though you are teaching people that they should never do any works. I simply point out to people that there is no reason a person cannot do works as long as they understand the proper relationship between works and salvation - to wit - there is none.ghost said:
You seem to be saying something like this:
Only once. Provided, of course, that you can prove from scripture that there is a God commanded difference between crime and sin.
Man oh man, are YOU going to be in trouble with Ghost!!Lighthouse said:
If there is not, then man is unjust to put anyone in jail, and you would be unjust if you ever punished your child for lying.
Because under the Law of the Profits, there is no difference between sins and crime. Is it illegal for you work on Sunday?
Make a coherent sentence, and I'll try to respond.
Under the Law of the Profits, Old testament law, there was no difference between a sin and a crime. The terms were synonymous. Is it a sin today for you to work on Saturday? Why or why not. Is it a crime today for you to work on Saturday? Why or why not.
Do you mean "Prophets"?
