Sam Shamoun BUTCHERS What It Means To Believe in Jesus Christ

[@OnoDiamante]

"But to him that worketh not, but FAITHFULLY OBEYS him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE is counted for righteousness." Shamoun 4:5

And of course it is all just one big subjective standard. How faithful? Who determines when I have been faithful enough?... Rather I am glad that salvation is simple, for Christ did the hard part. All of us are sinners. Jesus died for us and by trusting in Him we have eternal life. Period.

They love to quote that verse in James. Demons are not redeemable. Jesus never died for demons, he died for humans

[@evangelisticoutreach1]

If we truly believe in Jesus, we will also believe what He said. If we believe what He said, we will also want to do (or not do) what He said. That is true faith, Amen. See this verse here, the ESV translates it properly according to what the original Greek says. Study this verse in the Greek. John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.

[@evangelisticoutreach1]

Jesus became the source of eternal salvation for all those that obey Him. Amen. (Hebrews 5:9)

[@andrewlinn7863]

@@evangelisticoutreach1 The Bible says in John 3:36: Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. If “believe” were replaced by ‘obey’, it would make this verse a self contradiction. Given that the first half of the verse says believing in Christ saves the person. Unless ‘obeying’, in the second half of the verse, refers to believing on Christ, similar to how John 6:28-29 says that the _work_ of God is to “believe in him whom he has sent”: Jhn 6:28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jhn 6:29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” But don’t overburden yourself with the original meaning of words from Hebrew and Greek. We have God’s preserved and inspired word in English, and we can look at every word with assurance that this is what God wants us to read. God has used words that we may learn and define from the context they are in. Check out Brandon Peterson’s KZbin channel, named: Truth is Christ. He demonstrates that as early as 1611, we had a perfect Bible in English.

@@jelsinc It is not a "silly excuse". "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder." (Jas. 2:19). Belief in God's oneness is not per se salvific belief. Hence, James is not addressing Christian faith.

[@jelsinc]

@@thinkerj The entire chapter is about faith which is about salvation. Which is why the question is asked "can faith SAVE him?". If you don't see that "him" here is referencing the man with faith and not the man in need of the food and clothing, you're lost. Also, what is the lesson in God talking about demons believing, in this scripture. This could only serve to create confusion because we know that demons believe not just in the oneness of God, they know about Jesus.

[@missiletoad7015]

So essentially for Sam, "Eternal life comes by faith, and it's not of works - Although the "faith" here means that you do gotta work for it" LOL. It It's all a sick shell game with guys like Shamoun. They'll use whatever made-up unbiblical terms and definitions and syllogisms they need, whatever it takes to make you think that receiving eternal life = you working for it. That's all it ever is.

Thank you so much for doing these videos

[@claytonlewis6459]

Love the videos. I got saved when I listened to Dennis Roksers video on The Gospel. I struggled for a lot of years wondering if I had "saving faith" and listened to many different Bible teachers on KZbin. I always came back to John Macarthurs teaching as soon as I had assurance on salvation and that dude would get me so worked up on thinking I could never be saved unless I could surrender all. Honestly, Faith in Jesus death burial and resurrection is definitely a coming to Christ from the heart. These people love to add works and it frustrates me because the question comes back to, could I have genuine faith without works? I guess I could do that pridefully just to prove a point, yeah. But Jesus gave me a new heart where I desire what he wants, but I also sin a lot. He doesn't put a gun to your head and MAKE you do ANY works. But he may cause you to desire doing works. So you cannot look at what you do or your works for assurance. I know first hand. Took my like over 8 years to figure this out. God bless.

There are so many non believers in Jesus that it’s mind boggling and scary. Jesus did the one thing for man that was the most important event in human history. Believing in him as your savior for what he did is the one thing that makes us (true believers) unique. He made us a promise that was very simple, yet man has to make it something it’s not. I think it’s all so he (man) can get his share of the glory. Salvation is free. Thank God.

After believing , Good works come as result , fruits of salvation , not otherwise. - The tail does not move the dog.

[@86_corolla84]

Faith: to trust or believe in what someone has said or done. I.e: a child having trusting that their parents will take care of them. Faithful: obeying someone and following order, whether it be ask of or is necessary to be done. I.e: parents taking care of their children. At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. -- Matthew 18:1-6

If everyone truly took God at his Word, we wouldn’t have so many people confused about how to get to Heaven. It really is simple to get to Heaven. The problem is people just don’t believe Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, or John 6:47. I truly think the reason why people reject faith alone is because of their PRIDE. They just can’t accept the fact that salvation is a free gift from God. They have to do SOMETHING to earn it or keep it. It’s sad.

[@BansheeKing22]

Try to see it from the other persons point of view. Throughout life we learn that nothing is free and we must work and earn everything we get. Like a car or house or food on the table, etc. People getting stuff for free that they haven't earned is what's been happening especially in regards to the border crisis. So it's completely natural that many would be understandably angry about that. Someone else getting for free something the other person had to work hard for. The idea of earning something over getting it for free is ingrained in many good headed people so if you have an issue understanding why so many have the problem of understanding how salvation is free then there's an explanation as to a possible reason.

I don’t agree with Sam and I’m glad his mistakes were highlighted. I think we need to not jump to conclusions about who is saved. Too many believers are ready to pounce on each other and label someone a heretic. If a professed believer put his faith in Christ for salvation he is saved. That same saved believer could teach and believe doctrine that is incorrect. If we believe in salvation by grace only, then the believer who adds to grace should be covered by grace unless they reject John 3:16. We can be wrong as Christians about doctrine. We cannot be wrong about who Jesus is and what he did for us. That determines everything.

I agree with what you say Vinyl, that we should not be arguing amongst ourselves but what if a false gospel is preached and the person being preached to is not saved. Remember Matthew 7:21-23 "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23 KJV. Remember the will of the Father is to believe on the son (John 6:40). But see in Matthew 7:21-23, these people called him Lord but they came with their own righteousness. "Did we not prophesy, cast out demons, works, etc." And Jesus says "depart from me". If you put 99% faith in Jesus, and 1% in yourself, you are still trusting on the 1% that is a filthy, rotten sinner, that deserve hellfire.

[@Vinylfiend60]

@@goldengoose777 I disagree with part of what you say. Because I don’t think a person can put 99% faith in Christ and 1% in themself.

Salvation is by grace alone and sanctification is a life long process of growing in your faith and cannot save you.

"For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all." James 2:10 KJV. Now to address the "doer of the word". Let's see what Jesus says. "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." Matthew 7:21 KJV. What is the will of the Father? "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:40 KJV. To DO the will of the Father is to BELIEVE in Jesus. That does not mean that I am saying go and keep sinning. No! Because if you do good works, you will get eternal rewards from heaven, Jesus tells us so! And if you keep on sinning you will still get punished on Earth (because believing in Jesus saves you from the ETERNAL damnation). For example if I am gluttonous, I will get obese and have a harder life. That is my punishment. There are many more examples but I will just do that one for this comment.

I do believe we are talking two different points, and perhaps the video is describing the same thing also, the matter of salvation, then after salvation(or sanctification). The first thing I believe your describing is salvation, A man will be saved by faith, yes I agree, but then we will be further judged in our belief after we have been saved. 1 Corinthians 3:13-15 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. I think the point of 27 is that then, if your “belief” is true that these are actions that will correspond and represent that belief.

Actually just read all of 1 Corinthians 3 and it is right on point with this whole video and comment section.

[@rcormonutube]

​​@@cwalker688 Agree. Input : believe and go to Christ as the only way to salvation and eternal life PRocess Step : Salvation and Eternal Life within Christ ( God Indwells in the believer) Output : Fruits of Santification after being raised with Jesus ->Guidance by the Holy Spirit -> works profiting to men for the glory of God -> Rewards from God ( Gold, silver, leaves or chastisement for correction - as David -)"but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire."

James is giving an objective, and very logically sound, description of faith. Not subjective to those brethren. Perhaps a study on new covenant Grace and its effect may help.

[@revivingfaith6123]

I think what made me finally click and understand James better is that faith alone does not save you from the temporal judgement of God. When David disobeyed God, and killed Uriah, his faith did not save him from the temporal judgement of God, and he lost his son. You could even explain it in the example given by James with Abraham. He was justified before God by being faith and offering his son, because if he disobeyed, he would have seen judgement from God. None of this is about our eternal destiny, but about blessings in this life.

Faith comes by hearing (and understanding) and hearing by the word of God. Faith is no more and no less than believing the truth of the word of God. Simple as that, now it is true that God also speaks in diverse ways and in diverse manners to different groups of people in different dispensational times and seasons and hence the word of God must be rightly divided in order to avoid doctrinal error, corruption and confusion but when that precondition is met the meaning is usually plain and clear, and even simple so that even a little child can understand. Perhaps it should be mentioned that genuine faith issues in actions that are in conformity agreement obedience and subjection to the will of God which is being revealed by that very same word of God's truth. This does NOT mean that salvation is conditional based on our faithfulness it is absolutely not! It is based solely on God's faithfulness and righteousness and the perfection of God's redemptive work in Jesus Christ. It is true that when believers go astray or walk in the flesh and commit sin they bring a judgment of God upon themselves however this judgment is usually the truly abounding astonishing mercy and long-suffering patience of God with his beloved people and holy children. Occasionally there is chastening and discipline brought by the Father and Son which even if uncomfortable and involving a certain degree of pain and suffering, is NEVER the same as the judgment of condemnation and wrath unto death which comes upon the lost unsaved sinner.

[@kjvnews8326]

As far as the epistle of James goes, so many skip right over the very first verse and ignore it. Who is James writing to? It reads: James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, TO THE TWELVE TRIBES [OF ISRAEL] WHICH ARE SCATTERED ABROAD. (James 1:1) He wasn't writing to Gentile Christians. This is why it seems a contradiction between what James writes and what Paul teaches. You'll also see some apparent problems in the book of Hebrews. Why? Because it was written to HEBREWS (Jews). All of Paul's other epistles are written to Gentile Christians. In addition, I believe that James was written BEFORE Acts 15. In Acts 15, James, Peter, Paul and other disciples met in Jerusalem and they ALL agreed on the Gospel (Paul's gospel) and this was confirmed by the Holy Ghost.

1 Peter 1:12 (ESV): 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. Angels don’t understand the Gospel. They believe in God and they know that Jesus is God but knowing that Jesus is God is not enough. Romans 10:8-13 (ESV): 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” You have to believe that Jesus Christ died for your sins (Death burial resurrection) but the Angels can’t do that because they can’t understand it. Why are we able to understand it? Because of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit isn’t sent to angels it’s sent to mankind.

[GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS THROUGH FAITH] "But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. [BOASTING EXCLUDED] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. [THEREFORE WE CONCLUDE THAT A MAN IS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH APART FROM THE DEEDS OF THE LAW]." ~ Romans 3:21-28 "If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, [YOU WILL BE SAVED]. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." ~ Romans 10:9-10 For “[WHOEVER] calls on the name of the LORD [SHALL BE SAVED].” ~ Romans 10:13 "In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, [YOU WERE SEALED] with the Holy Spirit of promise, [WHO IS THE GUARANTEE OF OUR INHERITANCE] until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory." ~ Ephesians 1:13-14 "For [BY GRACE] you have been saved [THROUGH FAITH, AND THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES]; it is the gift of God, [NOT OF WORKS], lest anyone should boast." ~ Ephesians 2:8-9 "He saved us, [NOT BY THE RIGHTEOUS DEEDS WE HAD DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY], through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit." ~ Titus 3:5 "And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, [HAVING FORGIVEN YOU ALL TRESPASSES, HAVING WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF REQUIREMENTS] that was against us, which was contrary to us.

If you have nothing but lip service saying I believe. That's not faith. And just because someone says Jesus doesn't mean that they are talking about the Son of God Jesus Christ. Obedience is how you follow, believe and have faith. Otherwise you follow a false Jesus. Many have their own custom Jesus that says that they can do anything that they want, have sex outside of marriage, be a drunk, do drugs have sex with men. But even in Roman's Paul gives a list of these things of people who do them will not enter into the kingdom of God. Peter as well warned for people who twist Paul's words to their own destruction. If you can not match all scripture in the new testament that means you have not rightly divided the word. Grace is beautiful and freely given. But even grace is conditional, because Jesus said if you don't forgive others My heavenly Father will not forgive you. And you will be judged by how harshly you judge others 💯 Jesus said I will have mercy rather than sacrifice. We are not under the old testament laws but we have a new Covenant Jesus said for us to do. Now as long as we show mercy and help others we have grace, but that is on repentance of our sins. Love is the fulfillment of the law. The law is love your God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. No one does that, but we should try. And to love your brother as yourself. And also most people don't do that. Calling yourself a Christian doesn't mean much but if you overcome your inner beast nature. This is also related to the mark of the beast. Beast do what they feel, but a man will govern his actions and not do evil 💯 because you are to love others and your life is supposed to be a witness 💯 that is that light on a hill. We all fall short I am a sinner as well. But it's the heart that matters as long as you are trying God is working with you. When you no longer care is when you may be in trouble.
