You are the one who is blind, RAVEN, thinking that your works are anything but filthy rags before an infinitely holy God. Do you really think you are going to stand before God and say that you deserve to come in because you have done this and this and this? Please. You have absolutely no right on your own even to stand before a holy God. Your false theology makes Christ's sacrifice absolutely unnecessary. You obviously are blind, still in your sins, because you can't even follow Hank's argument at all. Or mine. We accept the whole counsel of God. We see the role of works as the evidence of true, saving faith. You, on the other hand, have nothing to say in response to Romans 4 or Ephesians 2:8-10, because that would mean abandoning your false church's teachings. What you accuse of others can eaily be applied to yourself: "Can't you see that it is you who are trying to take away from the bible by not submitting to all of it?" --Joe! |

Greetings Joe!! The more I read Raven's posts, the more the Church of Christ sounds like the Catholic system. Salvation through works. Here is an interesting passage to ponder: Gal 2:3 But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised. Gal 2:4 But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.(NASB) 1) The Apostle Paul wrote time and again about the uselessness of circumcision(read:works) of the flesh, and the peace and secruity found in circumcision of the heart. 2) What did Jesus denounce the Pharisees for? It was the fact that they had, as it were, reduced faith to "washing the outside of the cup". In other words, making heaven out to be something you had to earn with your...works. Read in the Sermon on the Mount, when Jesus teaches about adultery and murder. It's not necissarily what we DO, but where our heart is. So it is with our salvation. If what we DID condemned us, we'd have to be on our knees constantly, seeing as how even an impure thought is sin. Raven, I pray that you will accept the peace that the love of Jesus in one's heart brings. Otherwise, you are but a slave to your own works, in bondage to your own flesh. We are not slaves, but we are free. Amen!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
