[quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]Don't judge me. I read the Bible for myself. I was saying it is hard for me to follow what is written on the Bible because I am a sinner. Let's at least respect one another shall we?[/quote] [quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]2Co 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Col 1:10 And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 2Ti 2:21 If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. 2Ti 3:17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.[/quote] [quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]Joh 6:28 Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Joh 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." Rom 4:2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about--but not before God. Rom 4: 3 What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness." Rom 4:4 Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. Rom 4:5 However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness. Rom 4:6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness apart from works: Rom 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.[/quote] Read the bible again, this time, read all of it not just the ones your teachers told you to read [quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]You should try reading the Bible, meditate on His Word and open your mind.[/quote] I've read enough, that's why I'm agnostic [quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]but not good enough for a holy God to let him in to heaven.[/quote] lol, that's why I said so there's no sense in doing good if God won't acknowledge it. [quote=underscoreJI;#3653314;1279196400]So you are not saved because of good works but you are expected to do good works after you are saved. So if you want your good works to be counted better get saved first.[/quote] How do you get saved? Turn in to catholicism?? This is just so wrong, can you please imagine yourself in another religion and try reading that again??
