How do you attain salvation

[@cinnamondan4984]

This is so awesome

[@bobbyg8949]

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

[@Maranatha99]

Works prove our faith. Works don't save us.

[@naomymose1866]

Faith is unseen, second, by faith we are not suppose to do any action... By catholic faith and work is must,, all what practices and action, is work.... Like baptism, holy communion, body of christ, cruxif adoration, stations of the cross to calvary. Mary mother of God adoration, if you believe Jesus by say John 10:30 my father and I we are one,, so from the womb, Mary is mother of God.

[@4jgarner]

That's a great summation of what most Protestants believe when we say Sola Fide.

[@kameijohnwilson9208]

​@@Maranatha99Where is that in the Bible?

[@dorcas4035]

Thank you 🙏❤️‍🔥

[@marihinojosa6364]

I enjoyed this very much

[@aprilwhite1794]

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

[@chrisossa2022]

beautiful ❤❤❤

[@frederickanderson1860]

Ecclesiastical verse definitely define these posts. Chapter 7 v 16.

[@qvrty6]

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.

[@Maranatha99]

Amen! So sad that so many pple have been deceived into believing they can contribute to their salvation.

[@4jgarner]

AMEN!

[@melanierabe8794]

Jesus said you must love one another those are works Faith without works is dead. You can have faith that moves mountains but if you don't have love you have nothing. Work out your faith with fear and trembling Bible tells us repeatedly faithvis not enough! Read your whole Bible stop picking and choosing what you like and sounds good

[@melanierabe8794]

​@carolinajackson7621 Sorry ypu are devieved! Read ypur Bible plus taught by first apostles and early church fathers

[@gideonopyotuadebo2304]

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

[@_ROMANS_116]

Read James 1:1. Who was he speaking to?

[@gideonrumnong4132]

wow 😮

[@MrDoyle07]

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 sooooo 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.

James 2:24 not James 2:22

[@jvlp2046]

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.

[@amenkrahoamennoswemenukhol9840]

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..

[@jaybjay4121]

you steel keep the sabbath?

[@dicontiweddings4316]

Galatians my friend its literally all of Galatians

[@philipbuckley759]

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

[@_ROMANS_116]

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

[@garrygull8354]

This guy is wrong. The only other option is works. Faith alone. Later on he said not by works of rightousness which we have done. He didn't make a distinction between works of the law. Or just plain works. Abraham didn't have the works of the law to practice so he was justified by faith without works in gods sight. Even as Abraham believed God it was imputed as rightousness! Now to him that worketh not but believes his faith is counted for rightousness! God will not be indebted that I owe you eternal life because of your works. It's a gift to those who believe it's a gift. If your trying to pay for it or think your meriting it your indebting god and insulting the cross of christ

[@Maranatha99]

I agree. Roman Catholics get really confused about this.

[@naomymose1866]

Remember Ibrahim works he deed is action of sucrifice his son, so that is work,,, for us catholic work is must becoz the faith is unseen, only God can justify ur faith,,, by work and faith to sarve the alter. Like baptism, holy communion, like Abraham sucrifice the son, God change to lamb, now Jesus is sucrifice, he is the Lamb of God, we do action which is work with faith it become complete sucrifice. To be real body and blood of Jesus,,, Jesus promised us, unless u eat my body and blood, we have no life,, but if we do we have eternal life even after dead, For catholic we have all practice of faith,, stations of cross, adoration of cruxif, palm Sunday, adoration of body of christ, Marian adoration. Baptism, repent by confessing.all is work work by faith

[@tonyks4777]

Abraham had faith.. He followed up with works.. he was righteous... You can have faith and not be righteous..

[@tonyks4777]

James 2:24

[@alubogladys3077]

No he is not wrong just that's his concept appreciate the man😊

[@TJMcCarty]

In Romans, chapter 2, it says that gentiles who follow the law in their hearts are justified and will judge the Jews who seek to be justified by the law, but failed to keep the law. Paul was not talking about ceremonial laws, the gentiles wouldn’t have been required to keep the cleansing ceremonies or to be circumcised. In context, Romans is talking about the moral law of the old Testament. Elsewhere in Romans, Paul says that he would not know that you should not cover it if it had not been for the law. Paul was talking about the law, including the 10 amendments. Paul did mean the law of the Old Testament, including the moral law and Romans. And Romans three and four, Paul is so clear that we are not saved by Works otherwise salvation would be wages due to us, but instead he justifies those who have faith in God and do not attempt to receive salvation through Works , that God justifies the ungodly

[@_ROMANS_116]

Guy has no biblical understanding of James 2:24

[@josegonzaloditchingssvp]

Ang you have?

[@LaurenceNaseb-si7nl]

And you have right? It's as clear as day ,a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Faith without works is dead. 😭😂

[@Daniel12.4Ministry]

In recent decades, scholars have researched what pi'stis meant in the social context of the New Testament writers. Several scholars who have studied the usage of pi'stis in both early Greek manuscripts and the New Testament have concluded that 'faithfulness' is the most satisfactory English translation in many instances.[9][10] This recent research has prompted some to argue that New Testament faith and belief in Jesus should be understood in terms of faithfulness, loyalty, and commitment to him and his teachings, rather than in terms of belief, trust and reliance.[11] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_in_Christianity
