    What is “loving”?

    Interesting questions. What's loving to me isn't going to be loving to someone else and I guess it's because we're viewing through a sinful lens.

    Not by works?

    Are you the one judging those people you say have no works? Here's the thing, a Christian WILL have works because he has the Holy Spirit dwelling within him. If you're resisting the Holy Spirit, then you're probably throwing away faith too and turning away from God all together. In that case...

    It's as if you think that God isn't doing the works through us? :unsure: If we sit here and demand that we get out there and do some works...that's doing it all wrong.

    You're confusing something totally different! LOL God spoke to Noah to directly and gave him a directive because of the plans God had for the world. Genesis 8:16-19 Then God spoke to Noah, saying, 16 “Go out of the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you. 17...

    And the reason for that is that those who have faith have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them and He will guide them into bearing fruit that He has planned for us.

    Works come because we have faith first. That's what I meant by my post. A fish cannot help but swim but swimming doesn't make it a fish.

    We're all saved the same way since Genesis where the promise of a Savior was promised. Before Christ died, the faith was in that promise of the Savior for their sins. We know who the Savior is and that is Jesus, the Christ. Faith clings to Him and even those who die before being baptized but...

    So that thief on the cross didn't have salvation? Poor theology on your part to assume that which Jesus says is otherwise. Believing is having faith in the Savior and the forgiveness of sins that He won at the cross. Believes are Christians.

    Believers in Jesus as Savior have salvation. That's the Gospel!

    It's a shame that people refuse to listen to someone who points to Christ for salvation.

    In that same document Luther also wrote: Our faith in Christ does not free us from works but from false opinions concerning works, that is, from the foolish presumption that justi- cation is acquired by works. Faith redeems, corrects, and preserves our consciences so that we know that...

    Why bother holding onto faith and wanting to abide by God's Holy Law? Believers want to do good because of love for the one who died for them, shedding His blood on the cross and forgiving their sins. That's why.

    If it's saved by grace then it can't be works because by grace means that God does it all.

    Why doesn’t the gospel of Matthew mention the little drummer boy?

    Because it was written in 1941.

    What is the origins of Christmas?

    Since "Christ" is in the name, wouldn't you think it had to do with the birth of Jesus the Christ?
