@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 Your works cannot save you, because they are not good enough.
Like, how do you not simply get that?
You're basically telling God that you could do just as well as he did.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 Again, you're severely misinterpreting James 2. I've already explained this to you and you keep going in circles.
Dead faith is stil existing faith.
Romans 4:5 proves that.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 It highlights that the goats are condemned not for active wrongdoing, but for their failure to show compassion, proving that salvation is not earned by human effort.Their shock reveals a misplaced reliance on personal goodness,which acts as a warning against self-righteousness.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@GarrettBrimer12 @palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D Exactly, he just doesn't want to believe that his works are unworthy and pathetic. No point in wasting more energy arguing with him.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 You definitely believe that it does lol

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 You must place all of your faith entirely in the redeeming blood of Jesus Christ to save you from all of your sins. You're not good enough, bro.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 You're not understanding what I mean when it's about separating the believers that did good works from the unbelievers that either did good works but didn't believe or just didn't believe.
It's not about believers who did good works and who didn't.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 In the same way, the sheep's good deeds did not cause their salvation. Their deeds were the undeniable proof that they had a living, breathing faith.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 Of their hearts and faith..

If someone says, "It is raining outside, for I see people opening their umbrellas."Opening an umbrella does not cause the rain. The umbrellas are simply the undeniable proof that it is raining.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 By saying that your works can save you..

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 So, you're believing on your works to be detrimental to God's works. You think what he did to save you from your sins needs your help. Jesus couldn't do it on his own..

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 Notice that when Jesus judges, He doesn't look at a pile of good deeds and say, "You did 51% good deeds, so you are a sheep."He separates them into Sheep and Goats before He ever mentions what they did.A sheep doesn't become a sheep by doing good works it's already a sheep

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 Our works are rags compared to God's which are riches. You're comparing our goodness to his, which is absurd.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 You will not have eternal life if you don't believe on the gospel..

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 But it's not explitcitly saying that you will lose your salvation and God's promise to never abandon you.
What you need to understand is that Jesus frees our soul from sin, but our flesh remains carnal.
Paul said he still struggled with sin.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 I do, but the Bible says that we're all sinners unworthy of Heaven and deserving of Hell. That's why we don't deserve salvation as a reward and it's given to us a gift from God's mercy and grace. Only Jesus was good.

[Alejandro @AlejandoM1994]

@palestrina_gp @BIG_SGT_D @GarrettBrimer12 The apparent tension between receiving a "free gift" and being judged for your "actions" comes down to the difference between the root of salvation and the fruit of true faith.
Again, you're misconstruing cause and evidence.
You're not literally working for your salvation.
