| − | :e/cI only put faith in the King James scriptures and others based on the Textus Receptus, but I don’t see how rejecting the notion that people who think doing grand things to cancel out their sins is rejecting the idea that works are important. We all sin, to be blunt about it you’re not saved and going to Hell if you believe otherwise (1 John 1:10). Putting your faith in yourself thinking that’s how you come to Christ is backwards, you come to Christ first and as you grow with Him and your love for Him supersedes your love for sin. You’ll stumble because we still live in the flesh, but conviction will come and you’ll come back to God (that’s why he chastens his children). The other side of this is the easy believism crowd, the ones who think they can recite a prayer they don’t mean in their heart one time or go to confessional every week meanwhile they continue to drink whiskey and shoot heroin all day long, beat their multiple wives, make babies with their daughters, kick dogs, and rape women in the grocery store parking lot and all is well, and I have news for them they are full of baloney. The change in works is not a matter of putting forth effort, it’s a matter of a change of heart. | + | ::e/cI only put faith in the King James scriptures and others based on the Textus Receptus, but I don’t see how rejecting the notion that people who think doing grand things to cancel out their sins is rejecting the idea that works are important.
