Faith working through love is how Paul put it. It says everything.

We have had these conversations before but this was the first time you admitted the difference of works done through grace as opposed to human works.

I thought we settled this mate, I was half way through my cigar.

And the “works” Charlie has been confused about is not human works.

Yes we did, thanks mate.

So they would be Christs works, but credited to you, not useless human works?

Great and I am praying for you, I know you have been suffering from what you have shared. To get definitions right, do you think that a Christian prompted by Grace to do good works of Love, are those his own human works or are they Christs works.?

Thanks for the heads up. I’d like to finish the thread clean so that we can understand the difference between human works and Christs works by Grace through us. As in my last question to Charlie.

So if a Christian is prompted by Grace to feed the hungry and help the poor, is that his works or Christs works? See I don’t think you understand the difference, you have lumped Christs works of Love by Grace in with human works without grace.

Your understanding of Faith isn’t right. It’s not just intellectual assent. And you don’t know the difference between works of the Law and works of Love by Grace and Faith in the Kingdom. Those are Christs works, by His body the Church not human works. Works of the Law won’t save people. That...

Love won’t be rejected, no.

Human works, yeah sure. But not Faith working through Love by Grace, they aren’t human works but Christs works. You are confusing human works and works of Love by Grace. Human works are useless sure. There is no human kung fu powerful enough for salvation. Only by Grace Faith in Jesus Christ...

People found a note on a Protestant guy who jumped from a tower saying not to worry, he was assured that he was saved by faith. Tragic. He sinned against Hope, despaired of his life. Three things remain Faith, Hope and Love, the greatest of these is Love. Love is Eternal and greater than...

You must have Faith and Love together not Faith alone, that is false. Faith is necessary, but it must be working through Love, which means Faith can not be alone. Only dead Faith is alone. Do understand what James and Paul are saying?

Well, try getting to heaven without showing Love, just by faith alone, it will amount nothing no matter how big the faith. That’s the dead faith Paul and James are talking about. The faith of mere intellectual assent. “ What you didn’t do for the least of these, you didn’t do for me “ On...
