Bible Note: Hello Tim I have had the priviledge to study with many people with many diverse opinions about doctrine, and one of the most widely used excuses for not having to obey is: "there's none righteous" so we don't need obedience. I have been to many different denominational discourses, and there are whole denominations that believe something similar to this. Another one is: "the law was 'nailed to the cross'", so we don't have to obey it, and they use Colossians 2:14 which is way out of context for their erroneous views. To say we don't need obedience for salvation is cutting it close there Tim. The book of James, which BTW Martin Luther wanted to remove it from sacred scripture, gives us some statements that sound pretty contradictory to all of Paul's writings, but while we are in Christ He gives us great understanding about what Paul writes in Romans 3:20 and Galatians 2:16 compared to James 2:21-24. I believe that we are not "saved" by our works but we can sure be lost without them. God Bless you Jeff W |
