Steve Ray is, thus far, the most convincing, comprehensive and effective teacher of the faith I've ever listened to.

James 2:17 KJV — Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Psalms 62:12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work.

[qvrty]

Works prove your faith, they do not merit justification. We are justified by grace through the redemption that is in Chris Jesus through faith in His Blood, which God set forth to be a propitiation for the remission of sins that are past.

[gideonopyotuadebo]

James 2:24 ASV
Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

Everytime I listen to this Steve fellow talk I hear what my faith has always been to me explained with such profound dignity; it makes me wonder how one of these Protestant people, who resist this truth even to blind stubbornness when their use of the Bible to support them fails, came to this complex acceptance of truth just by wanting it. I wish I could get the devil who enters my wife to wait until I get what I want to say said about this truth before it sends her into her Protestant hate filled rage at me for daring to “speak Catholic” at her. Mr Ray, if you have a minute I would love to know how to reach my Dear Jesus loving Protestant wife, who wanders amoung the trees of the Protestant wilderness like a lost sheep. She’s been a member of three different denominations in the 20 years we have been together. I became weary with following her through her P phases and recently just went back to the Catholic Church where I decidedly will be until the end of my life… …and my home is upside down. She is rabidly venomously hateful at me. I can’t see the end of this. 😢 But, to live in hell for Christ is a better choice than trying to look for truth where it is sabotaged.

The English word "BELIEVE" (verb) in the Spiritual context and meaning is like a Collective Noun (ex. Family, Company, Choir, Herd, etc.) which comes with 3 Components for the Salvation of Mankind, "By GRACE of God through FAITH in Christ Jesus that manifests in good/righteous WORKS."

Therefore, in conclusion, the Spiritual Formula/Equation for Mankind Salvation is... [ GRACE (+) FAITH (x) WORK (=) SALVATION ]... (ref. John 3:15 / 3:36 / 11:25-26 /James 2:1-24 )...

While St. Paul's letter to the Ephesians (ref. Eph. 2:8-9) means that Personal WORKS (Efforts) ALONE can not SAVE us... But for our "WORKS" (efforts) to be accepted as Righteous in the Eyes/Sight of God... "WORK" must come first with "GRACE" of/from God through "FAITH" in Christ Jesus...

That is the ORDER of SALVATION (Grace, Faith, and Work) for Father God/YHWH is a "God of ORDER" and not of Chaos or Confusion... (ref. 1 Corin. 14:33)...

Facts and Truth, Biblically and Logically speaking... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen.

Galatians my friend its literally all of Galatians

[amenkrahoamennoswemenukhol]

Let's not say..."By faith alone".
becoz James 2:26. says..." Faith without action is dead"

[Johanhauptmann]

When Paul says " without the works of the law" he means without the burnt offerings etc.. He is not trying to tell us that we can be saved without the works of the 10 commandments... Jesus dident come to break down the Law and the Prophets but to Fulfill.. According to Emanuel Swedenborg who met Luther in the spiritual world Luther repented his doctrine of Faith Alone and he is in Heaven now but many of his followers are in Hell coz they did not repent..

[_ROMANS_]

Do you follow the 10 commandments to attain salvation as taught by the works religion / the RCC? Yes or no?

[philipbuckley]

not saved by works....hmm, sounds like there should be a better term here, eh...
