Video taken from Fr. Bill Casey's homily at Fr.Dan Sheehan's funeral. A Christain is not saved by faith alone. That's what Jesus said! www.fathersofmercy.com
jacksmak77 please read again those Bible quotes you gave, NONE says faith ALONE. But James 2 24 you will read NOT by faith alone...u see NOT by faith alone. Thats the only time in Bible you see the words faith and alone together ( mono-pietei ) Why faith alone defenders NEVER quote Mat 25 31 ff ? Or Fil 2 12 ? Fr Bill Casey is clear
Galatians 3:26. Faith alone. Romans 5:1. Faith alone. Romans 3:28. Faith alone. Romans 4:5. Faith alone. Works cancel grace. Romans 11:6. Luke 7:50. Faith alone. People that teach faith plus works are unsaved. Galatians 2:21. 3:18. 5:2, 5:4. Titus 3:5.
When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. No man can serve two masters, some people only see money! The eye is the lamp of the body, but what good is a lamp without oil? .52 wehttaM !reah mih tel ,srae sah ohw eH. Whoever goes with the flow follows the wolf. He who has ears, let him hear!
Thank you lord for blessing me with the true faith Catholic christian.Thank you for blessing me with brothers in christ from different faiths as they draw me closer to your love and mercy and understanding others who are blinded from the truth Jesus truly present in the Eucharist .remember brothers and sisters in christ Satan comes ti steal kill and destroy dont let him steal the most sacred thing you can partake in communion
I'd like to reiterate that it is stupid, arrogant and worse than dumb for a Christian to say in a theological conflict, "Salvation is by faith alone!" The "by grace through" and "confession" (Rom.10:9-10) is too weighty to be ignored. "By faith alone" suggests (as do those who PARROT it) a "one time lasting forever" decision/experience that simply isn't at all what the Bible teaches.
If you think it does, then your ignorance of Romans 14:23 and a plethora of other Scripture is inexcusable.
@bonajab Our relationship with God is by faith -- our faith. Your brother isn't required to live my your convictions, your opinions or your conscience (or mine), but by his own. It's amazing how differently Christians think and believe. It's even more amazing how God has not only allowed but, but engineered it. This is part of why Rom.15:7, 14:22-23 and 1Cor4:5 is in our Bible. God thinks He's in charge.
@savedbyjesusblood Everyone always needs to go further, but most won't. There are those of us who are willing to go with Him outside the camp but most want to camp where are you. It's easy; it's simple and it requires nothing. "Ah... He did it all," which is true. But for some reasons you don't wish to understand, God stuck Php.3:10, Col.1:24, 1Pet.4(the WHOLE ch.)
As more than one man of God has said, "you're as close to God as you want to be." One guy say, "I just wanna make the gate!"
@bonajab Your first point and your last two sentences I wouldn't contest and I think it's a common problem for people to be brainwashed with religious pretense. As you said, God does know the heart of all and His grace and mercy is truly amazing. Where I think you misinterpret Scripture is that you're seeing the "Kingdom of God" as our inheritance after we die. I think that's a mistake. We do have an inheritance then but we also have one now and the "KoG" is righteousness, peace and joy in H.S.
@bonajab " i think it is safe to say that if someone is carnal they would not inherit the Kingdom of God"
There are many people who would strongly argue that you're presenting salvation by works, and I could understand their argument. It seems you're very clearly saying that a Believer has to have incorporated a certain level of righteousness or the blood of Christ is not efficacious for him. I think you're misinterpreting Scripture. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."
