    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    That's apparently all you can say when you're stumped. That, and repeat your claim almost word for word. If there were any sense to the idea that Faith is just a spinoff feeling or "evidence" for a salvation already assured, no matter what the person does or believes... you could explain it...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Then you can't even understand what I wrote in the post to which you are replying. That being the case, why would any of us--including you--think that you understand the Bible? Especially when you come up with some interpretation that disagrees with almost every Christian church on Earth??

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Sounds good, but Faith is not merely a sign of something that's already accomplished. And, frankly, I don't know where you might have picked up such a notion since it's not the usual teaching among either the Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant churches. It likewise cannot be substantiated by a...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    We'll just add "works" to the list of your erroneous definitions (if we haven't done so already). No, thinking something is not a meritorious work, not even in the opinion of those denominations that believe faith + works are necessary and effective for salvation. You're not alone with this...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    ...which, if I understand your meaning, is saying that the person has already been saved...he just finds out about it later on. That's your idea of faith. And it's clearly not in accord with the Holy Bible.

    Faith

    Whether or not that's true, none of them are among the posters who have been correcting your mistakes here. In other words, you're using a strawman argument.

    What do you think about these Martin Luther quotes?

    Ah, so it's merely a matter of you misunderstanding what they wrote...or else you took the interpretations of various anti-Masons at face value. Yes, that happens. ...,meaning that your "knowledge" of Masonry lacks much, and so the appropriate response would be to take in questionable...

    What do you think about these Martin Luther quotes?

    ...as all sorts of people who don't actually know much of anything about Freemasonry (and absolutely nothing first-hand) like to say...as a result of having read something from a non-Masonic source. :rolleyes:

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    If there is a single point of emphasis in the Apostles' Creed, it's Jesus Christ. Look at how much of the Creed asserts the importance of the person of the Savior. That must have been the overriding issue for the first several generations of Christians. Then, in centuries following, all sorts...

    APOSTLE'S or NICENE Creed?

    That's just what it's called, to signify that this is the faith of the very early church. The word catholic, meaning authentic and universal, appears to have been added later. Naturally. The idea of a true and universal movement (church) is nothing that should surprise us.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    It is made possible by Christ's sacrifice for the sins of mankind, and Faith is the medium by which all who are saved are reconciled to God. If there is no connection to the Savior, then such a person cannot be saved. It is simply stupid to argue that God chose this person or that person to be...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    It's not just "important." It's effective and essential. With it, something changes; without it, we remain separated from God and salvation is impossible (unless one happens to be a Universalist. Not even a Hyper-Calvinist would argue that Faith is merely a sidelight to something else that had...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    Nonsense. If that were true, endless sections of the New Testament which speak to the matter would be false. In the Church of your own mind, anything goes, but the Bible is still God's word given for his disciples' guidance.

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    As happens with other issues in Scripture, what appears to be a contradiction--so long as we read these expressions in the way that modern people frequently use them--leaves the reader confused or skeptical. BUT, as so often is the case, reading the whole passage or (in this case) James' entire...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    No, that would be different, I agree. But we do have people here saying that to submit to baptism or to attend church services or just about anything that moves our muscles in connection with religion is wrong since it supposedly amounts to performing a "good work." Works righteousness!! Eek! :eek:

    As you have gotten older

    That's partly because conservatism is based upon having learned what 'works' and is beneficial, whereas modern liberalism is based upon theories and speculation about what will work well. Then when the liberals' theories don't succeed, and perhaps even cause more harm than good, these people...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    It does mean that (the Law), but many people are of the impression that if they have been decent people, helpful, respectful, loving, etc. that this is what God commands (which is true) AND SO this is at least partly what will bring them salvation. The idea that Jesus did it all, and we can be...

    Who is "him that justifieth the ungodly"?

    One thing to be noticed with that movement is that it rebuts matters that aren't actually doctrines of conventional Christianity. For instance, was Christ born in the winter? Were believers commanded to celebrate Christmas? And on what day? None of those matters is a Biblical directive, but on...

    Faith

    Well, you are the specialist in cherry-picking Bible verses, and really now, how likely is it that the "lone wolf" reader who is going purely by his own reading of the English translation is going to be correct while, at the same time, almost every church and student of the Bible has it wrong?

    Noah's flood

    None of the Bible versions approved for use in the Christian Reformed Church of N.A. include the book of Enoch, nor is that writing considered by the church to be "inspired" in the usual sense of that word (suggesting a divine or supernatural origin). Allegedly, there is only one branch of...
