Subject: Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith |
Bible Note: Tim, I think you have to look at the question that started this thread to get the context. He was asking what about the "works" that Jesus was talking about, which he quoted. The point is that they are not the same works of the law as what Paul was speaking. Look then at what I had to say about the decendents of Hagar and Sarah. Everyone works, but some are saved by grace and then and only then, after justification by grace, do they have merit bexcause they are works in Christ and so Christ can speak of rewards for those works. I personally don't see how you can explain it any other way without ignoring or completely twisting what Jesus has to say. I like to start with Jesus and conform what Paul and James have to say with what Jesus said, not the other way around. Emmaus |
