What about Heb 11:8? | ||||||
3 | 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? |

4 | 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. |

5 | So is this what Eph 2:8-9 is saying to u | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57505 | ||
So is this what Eph 2:8-9 is saying to us, that it must be obedient faith though Jesus Christ? And not faith all by itself, alone. |
||||||
6 | So when does justification come? | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57507 | ||
So when does justification come? Is it when we are standing still and believe? Is it when we act on what we believe? "Then we're perfected by works: James 2:22 "Seest thou how by faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?" " Or is it in the above scripture? |
||||||
7 | What about James 2:22-23 where he saids | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57513 | ||
What about James 2:22-23 where he saids faith was made perfect? Then he saids 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. So if one has faith he must prove that it is real by doing what God tells him to do. Heb. 11:1-40 which person in this chapter only believed and it was counted or imputed for righteousness? I think this is what James had in mind, and Paul was speaking about the Law of Moses and man's own righteousness apart from God. Or else do we have a great contradiction between Paul and James? |

8 | How do these points relate to the Great | Gen 12:1 | The Bible is Right | 57520 | ||
"'James could not be more explicit. He is confronting the concept of a passive, false "faith," which is devoid of the fruits of salvation. He is not arguing for works in addition to or apart from faith. He is showing why and how, true, living faith always works. He is fighting against dead orthodoxy and its tendency to abuse grace." "'Again, James echoes the Master Himself, who insisted on a theology of lordship that involved obedience, not lip-service. Jesus chided the disobedient ones who had attached themselves to Him in name only: "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?" (Luke 6:46). Verbal allegiance, He said, will get no one to heaven: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven" (Matt. 7:21)." How do these points relate to the Great commission in Mark 16:15-17? By the way these are good points. |

19 | Isn't this verse saying that we rise to | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56101 | ||
Is that what the verse says in Rom 6:4 "Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. Isn't this verse saying that we rise to walk in newness of life? So when we are baptized and we come up out of the water, that's our resurrection, then we walk in newness of life? vs. 5 For "if" we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: vs 6 Knowing this, that out "old man" is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. vs.7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. So where in the bible is that you are saying? |

20 | So should you wait until next Sunday? | Rom 6:4 | The Bible is Right | 56138 | ||
The answer is in the verse that's under disgussion, if you use the example that you gave about Monday to the next Sunday, there are no examples of that in the bible, God demans a responce from us now! not when we want to. Rom 6:5 it uses the word "if we" have been planted together with Christ in the likeness of his death, "we shall" be also in the likeness of his resurrection. So if you except him on Monday, and you wait until Sunday, all that time you will not be in the likeness of his resurrection! And not walking in the "newness of life"! And thus still dead. Rom 6:2; Col 2:13; Rom. 6:11; Eph 2:1,5-6 Here in vs.6 in Eph 2 it says: And hath "raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: Then the next verse says we are saved by grace, what needs to be understood is "we are raised first to walk in the newness of life". vs.6! So should you wait until next Sunday? | ||||||
