1 | So is the book of Romans 4 a contraditio | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57482 | ||
Is there a such thing as "obedient faith"? I ask that, because in the book of Heb 11 that's all you see, that by faith so-and-so did this or that. And Romans 4:1-5 says " not to him that worketh" And James saids, 2:17 Even so faith, if hath not works, is dead, being alone. vs.20-26 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altat? Gen 22:1-18 vs.18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. That's "obedient faith" that James is talking about. Jame 2:22 Seest thou how by faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was Fulfilled which saith, ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS IMPUTED UNTO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS: and he was called the Friend of God. Obedient faith is what justified Abraham. vs. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? Hebrews 11 gives us all the people of faith, and what they did, and not one person was with faith alone. So is the book of Romans 4 a contradition to Hebrew and James? |

3 | Eph 2:9 saids the same thing. | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57504 | ||
This is my point too. We have two apostles saying two different things about faith, and we know they are both inspired, so our interpretation of what faith is must agree with their. 2Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Heb 11 is known as the hall of faith, and all of the people in it are said to have done something by faith, but the book of Romans saids we are not justified by any works, and the book of Eph 2:9 saids the same thing. So my question is how can we understand this in light of what all the passages are saying in James, Romans, Hebrews and Ephesians. We know they were lead by the Holy Spirit and God is not the author of confusion 1 Cor 14:33. |

AMPLIFIED John 1:12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name--[Isa. 56:5.] AMPLIFIED John 3:16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. AMPLIFIED John 5:24 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the person whose ears are open to My words [who listens to My message] and believes and trusts in and clings to and relies on Him Who sent Me has (possesses now) eternal life. And he does not come into judgment [does not incur sentence of judgment, will not come under condemnation], but he has already passed over out of death into life. AMPLIFIED Acts 16:31 And they answered, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ [give yourself up to Him, take yourself out of your own keeping and entrust yourself into His keeping] and you will be saved, [and this applies both to] you and your household as well. "Salvation is conditioned solely on faith in Jesus Christ. Nearly 200 times faith, or belief, is stated as the single condition in the N.T. (John 1:12; Acts 16:31). That faith must be placed in Christ as one's substitute for and Saviour from sin" (p. 1950, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody Press, 1978). |
