the clear biblical teaching that justification occurs through faith in Christ alone.
The Bible demonstrates that justification comes from faith alone without reliance on deeds.
Romans 4:5, But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Ephesians 2:8-9, For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Galatians 2:21, I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
But you do not understand what what the phrase "faith alone" is to mean.None of these teach 'faith alone'.
There is not a 'faith alone' passage to be found in the bible.
Justification by faith alone is a Reformed construct.
no wonder you're missing the clear teaching of Scripture.
But you do not understand what what the phrase "faith alone" is to mean.
Wow,
24 Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith. Ja 2
I challenge anyone to cite from scripture that justification is by our faith ALONE (it doesn't exist).
You just proved you do not understand "faith alone."If it has to be explained perhaps you all should cease adding the word 'alone' to the gospel.
This 'alone' refutes the man-made doctrine of justification by our faith alone:
13 for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: Ro 2
24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Ro 3
1 Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from the wrath of God through him. Ro 5
33 Who shall lay anything to the charge of God`s elect? It is God that justifieth; Ro 8
James is referring to works that prove justification by faith.
You just proved you do not understand "faith alone."
WRONG!
The 'works' to which James is referring:
27 Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. Ja 1
15 If a brother or sister be naked and in lack of daily food,
16 and one of you say unto them, Go in peace, be ye warmed and filled; and yet ye give them not the things needful to the body; what doth it profit? Ja 2
...are the very same works by which we're all going to be judged in that day of judgement:
4 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35 for I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in;
36 naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Mt 25
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:
42 for I was hungry, and ye did not give me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink;
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in; naked, and ye clothed me not; sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Mt 25
There's absolutely no mention of our faith at this judgment, let alone our 'faith alone'.
This 'justification' is before Christ Himself, not before men.
Ok, deny Paul and accept James!
Ok, deny Paul and accept James! Do you think the Lord will accept that?
