I like how Ray Comfort compares this to a murderer or rapist trying to stay out of prison by telling the judge of his good deeds!

Yep. If you’re getting your theology from Home Alone 2, then you might be in trouble. 😉

Couldn't have said it better myself.

So then how does Christ's good deed undo our bad deeds?

@@FilthyXylophone becauss jesus is perfect. His blood was shed as a perfect human being. A sinner cannot save a sinner.

I appreciate you putting the version

i can think of many ways of mzn that are so wrong they are undeniable even by those honest people who participate in them, like prison rape, or Christianity.

Good response!

@Donitsi-qb6ozyou doing your chores will glorify God if you are thankful that you have a roof over your head where you have stuff that became trash after using the product and have food which needs dishes.

​@Donitsi-qb6oz- It can! Jesus Himself said this: " Do all things as unto Me." This means we are commanded to do each and everything as unto Christ, ( which is worship ), Christ never said do all things for Me! For I am not capable of doing anything for Christ! As long as I, or you, or anyone does what they do as unto Christ, Jesus will receive all glory and credit for said act! Then all who receive, what is done as unto Christ, will benefit them to God's standards not mine or religion's or man's.

And yet we were saved to do good works

Man, is this a toxic relationship. Imagine if your boyfriend never showed up not even once the entire time you were dating him. What's more he's all good and loving and you aren't allowed to criticize him. And you are going to burn for an eternity if somehow you decide to ditch him.

I would say that you ​@edisonchin2463 ... didn't quite understand His love for you and what consequences are for not knowing Him. He would rather see you turn (toward Him) than burn for forever.... For crimes done in a vapor of time...the punishment is eternal conscious torment? That is not the God of the Bible. .. The wages of sin is death...the GIFT of God is eternal LIFE. God's Only Son Permits Eternal Life! 😇🙏💪

There is no relation to Christ outside of regeneration in which a person is "Created IN CHRIST...unto good works" (Ephesians 2:10) This is also what the prophet Ezekiel spoke about regarding the washing away of sins in baptism as the new birth of the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:25-27) But creation in Christ unto good works shows the handiwork and operation of God. It has nothing to do with our free justification by Grace through faith apart from having kept the law. (Romans 3:24) The new creation in Christ unto good works is our calling and is effected in our ongoing sanctification. We do not rely upon any of these works. We simply accept we are called to walk in them (Ephesians 2:10; Titus 3:8). Notice how good works flow from conversion in Ezekiel 36:25-27; Ephesians 2:8-10; and Titus 3:5-8 in every case. First conversion, then good works inasmuch as we should fulfill our various callings in the context of the commandments. Paul's instructions regarding women make perfect sense in this light (1 Timothy 2:9-15; Titus 2:3-5). Precisely the same is true for all men (Titus 2:2, 6; 1 Timothy 2:8) But while we recognise are called to be rich in good works, we do not rely in the slightest upon our works of righteousness knowing that these flow from faith and love to our saviour and merit nothing before God (Philippians 3:9)

⁠@@edisonchin2463yur premise is faulty & yur analysis is inaccurate!…u don’t have a relationship w/ a “boyfriend” or being if he never shows up!…1st chk yur relationship problem/ problems!…2nd you have no relationship w/ him to criticize him!…3rd u chose not to hav a relationship w/ him…so u agreed to being separate from him…hence the result!

that's why we need Jesus...for our righteousness. The fruits of righteousness are love peace, joy, kindness, long suffering, and the like. Sins are works of the flesh, are the fruit of idolatry. Christian, don't ever waste your sin. It's the opportunity, to know more about your Lord and Savior Jesus.

This is legit my favourite verse of the Bible. It kills Legalism and self-righteousness in one fell swoop!

And because you’re at free to do them because you know that it’s aligned with your new life. The reason we seek to stop sinning isn’t because we can actually be sinless now but because by needing Christ, we admit that sin brings death and that we no longer want to be part of it.

Amen! HALLELUYAH to Almighty Abba and His Worthy Lamb and His Holy Spirit!!!!

You can't buy your way into heaven or pay your way out of hell.

It is the nature of being a spirit in a physical body to focus on the wants and needs of that physical body. If we are awake for 16 hours per day and sleep the other 8, we probably spend over 15 of those waking hours primarily being aware of what that physical body is telling us- I'm hungry, thirsty, anxious to get out of this uncomfortable chair, etc. etc. etc. God is not in a mortal physical body. He isn't constantly thinking of what is going on with Himself. He focused on what is happening with us. So for us to be even a little more like he is means focusing outside ourselves to a dramatically higher degree, which is unnatural and, at first, difficult for the people I've talked to on the subject. It does seem to come more easily to people that have little- less to give up. Perhaps this is why the poor, not the rich, inherit the kingdom of God.

We can’t even turn! We must first hear the Word, then God gives us faith in order to respond positively to the gospel and accept it. It’s God who raises the spiritually dead, not ourselves.

I love that verse...and yes it was a summery of the old testament laws 😊 ​@prudentpenny

Amazing comment! ❤

although social work is helpful still

@@LanguageBLOX1_Alt Sorry no. Jesus does not call us to be social workers.

@@Hereforthelove I’ll tell you what it’s not. It’s not supporting people in perverted lifestyles and turning a blind eye to people who steal from stores. If you have to ask the question, maybe you need to spend more time in bible study and prayer?

@@stevensonrf I also know that Jesus tells us in Matthew to not call anyone Father on earth because there is ONE father. You might also want to read and study your Bible more because you look like you allow people to call you father. Matt 23:8-12

@@Hereforthelove “in your religion”? Apparently it’s not the Christian religion.🤣

We are justified by our works, so let's not be crazy. Your good works will determine your reward of eternal life. They do matter and they are part of you getting saved.

Paul says one thing, James says another, that's what's great about the bible, you can pick and choose the salvation that suits your lifestyle.

Did Jesus die to have you remain a sinner "with hope"? Every sinner has a hope; sadly, many won't accept that gift. Paul admitted his past but nowhere did he present that as his future. I'm not just forgiven. I'm cleansed by the Blood. I have been reconciled to Him. I am sanctified toward holiness. I am justified by Him. I am in constant regeneration. I am forever in His debt for saving me from the power of sin. I have died so He may live within me. Lastly, I know the Spirit lives within me to glorify Jesus so I may live a holy life and His righteousness..

@@n9wff Good for you.

@@n9wff Well said. Rom.6 teaches that believers have died with Christ, and been raised with Him. it goes on to say that we are dead to sin, and that sin shall not have dominion over us. If we accept these truths by faith we are made stronger. We are still capable of sinning because although we are no longer in the flesh, the flesh is still in us, and will be until we receive our resurrection bodies. However the difference now is that we do not have to sin. The old sinful flesh no longer has any authority over us. We need every day to pray for God's grace that we may walk after the Spirit and have victory when we are faced with temptation.

Like Melissa?

It's only not fair to them because of their own selfish wants

I like that as a band name. 😁 My brother, Jacob, may he rest in piece, made up a good one too! "Spoon Bender and the Potentials" (Matrix reference). I would love to see it used! ❤

If not done to the Glory of God. And the True God, it availeth thee nothing.

my first time to watch...seems to be safe to listen

Absolutely, but doing good works inside the will of God will lead to eternal life. Because eternal life merited according to our good works.

The Christian Gospel VS. The RCC

yes we are saved by grace but we are also called to do good works. Titus 2:14 1 Timothy 6:18 Hebrews 10:24 Etc… So yes good works won’t save us but they are part of the sanctification process

It goes like this . We are saved by grace through faith but once saved we love Lord Jesus and being changed we start doing good deeds It's a change of heart.

Faith without works is dead.

@@muppetonmeds "Your works are filthy rags unto the Lord" [w/ regards to salvation]. How are you saved, "Muppet"?

We are so corrupted we don’t even know God’s definition of good works. According to Pew 52% percent of US Protestants think good works are required for heaven. We are seeing the fruit of the generation who didn’t realize the Beatles were invading with the British Raj cultural exchange-Karma system for all, including the Church.

Titus 3:8 is surround by the subject of doctrine. Keeping good works = keeping correct doctrine. Verse [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done. It is not what we do as much as what doctrine we espouse.

‭Mark (Mrk) 10:18 CJB‬ [18] Yeshua said to him, “Why are you calling me good? No one is good except God! We started off as a good creation but were separated from God our creator by our sinful nature. We are all sinful.

We don't have to remain so.
