Scripture That Proves The "Historical Gospel" And Justification By Faith Alone

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Cruciform and others on the Forum have accused me of fabricating a false Gospel that refutes their religions. The Gospel does make their religions worthless, but that is not my fault. Is it my fault if they don't have the truth? I am continually presenting the same Gospel that Paul preached. They are continually rejecting the same Gospel that Paul preached.

The Gospel is all about Jesus Christ and the work that he has done in our name and on our behalf. It was his work that justifies us and makes us right with God, Romans 3:26. Christ's acceptance into heaven is our acceptance, we have been accepted in him. The religious like Cruciform don't want to hear this, they want God to accept them and their works, which are worthless. God only accepts the works and the obedience of Jesus Christ, we are accepted only in him. If you go to heaven you will go there because of what Christ has accomplished for you and not because you have been predestinated or that you have become holy."

 

People have always been saved by grace through faith.

Faith

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Try again..."

 

We are saved by grace alone (Eph 2:8-9), through faith alone (Eph 1:13; 2Ti 1:10), in Christ alone (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12). Roman Catholics deny this (Jude 1:11).

Good link.

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "Please indicate exactly where in either of the two verses you cited the word "alone" appears."

 

Please indicate exactly where the words: bacteria (Nu 19:14-19), atom bomb (2 Pe 3:10), and Wikileak (Lk 12:2-3) appear in scripture.

Hermeneutics

 

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Hermeneutics] "Your links reveal your insecerity [sic]."

 

Ad hominem

 

"...Your tacit admission that the Bible does not teach "faith alone"..."

 

Proof please (Eph 4:14).

Plans and programs do not save (
Ga 1:6-8). Jesus saves (Isa 63:9; Eph 5:23). Jesus alone saves (Isa 45:21,22; 59:16; Ac 4:12).

Works vs. Faith

 

Response to comment [from a Catholic]: [James 2:21-24]

 

Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only [James 2:21–24].

"Paul said that Abraham was justified by faith (see
Rom. 4:3), and Genesis tells us that he was justified by faith (see Gen. 15:6; 22:1–14). Was Abraham justified when he offered his son Isaac? The question is: Did he offer his son Isaac? And the answer is: No, he didn’t. Then what was Abraham’s work of faith? How did works save him? His faith caused him to lift that knife to do a thing which he did not believe God would ever ask him to do. But since God had asked him, he was willing to do it. He believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead. Abraham never actually offered Isaac, because God provided a substitute, but he would have done it if God had not stopped him.

This is a choice illustration of the fact that you demonstrate your faith by your actions. The action of this man was that he believed God." McGee, J. V. (1991). Vol. 53: Thru the Bible commentary: The Epistles (James) (electronic ed.) (69). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.

"Paul spoke about the root of faith (
Eph 2:8). James spoke about the fruit of faith (Jm 2:17-18)." ~ Adrian Rogers
