CaptainMoroniMsgs: For the most part, I was just putting scripture together... I think it's God's business in how He judges us but I feel like we have a great responsibility... I think what we should focus on as His creations is that we will have very little excuses, especially this day in age with the internet and whatnot...

Most of what we are interested in knowing is available to us right now. It's up to us to choose what to fill our minds with and the truths to discover.

@WorldsFinalEvents =) I appreciate the time you have put into this video. And i would say that these simple truths are some of the things most ignored in this world today. We are taught by the world that God loves us so much that it he doesnt expect much from us, because we are imperfect, but i would argue otherwise, he knows each of us perfectly and that he knows our potential. We are not perfect, but if we trust in the Lord we can accomplish great things and help our brothers and sisters.

i like this video, but i disagree witht he part about those not knowing the law being judged by the same moral precepts of those who have the law. you used romans 7:7 paul knew sin once he knew the law, therefore those who have no law cannot break the law which they dont have. and romans 2:12 says those who ahve sinned in the law shall be judged by the law. to some degree, even without the law(10commandments) there is still things wer are taught and therefore we can sin but not in the law

These 4 Post r a Rebuttal 2 this video; plz read & pray bc there's only 1 Gospel. If u keep Law, ur nt saved. In closing, please read this:

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. - Romans 10:2-4

[rrgison]

Finally, we should work, bt NOT for our Salvation bc Salvation is a GIFT. We are to work OUT our salvatiion (like working ot on muscles, we work out something we already hve...Salvation & nt work 4 it) w/ fear & trembling bc in vs 13 "For it is God which WORKETH in you both to WLL and to DO of his good pleasure."

Again, we R 2 love the LORD, Love our neighbors, keep the moral law, & so on bt nt 2 be saved bt bc we're saved & bc more importantly, we Love Him 4 what he did 4 us @ the Cross

[rrgison]

& so, if Jesus died 2 free us frm the Law, why r we going back 2 it 2 be justified? When the circumcision group told new believers tht they must be circumcized 2 be saved, u knw what Peter told them?

10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? - Acts 15:10

Recall in Rom. 2:25, so 2 say, "welll u need works too" tht is placing a Yoke tht even the Jews can't bear no matter what (James. 2:10)

[rrgison]

Yes, Rom. 2 God judges x works (5-16), bt he goes on 2 state the problem of keeping the law (17-25) & btw, Paul was nt talking about the ceremonial & civil law, bt the moral law. So while true tht God judges x deeds bt also true... No 1 Can Keep it perfectly unto savation (3:9-18) whic vs why in vs 19-20, no 1 can be justified @ all bc knwing it is knwledge of sin.  Thts the same frm the Mosaic Law 2 the completion of Law x Jesus (Matt. 5:17-19). Jesus died 4 a reason, 2 free us frm the Law.

[rrgison]

I saw this video on a Recommends, & I hve 2 say I disagree w/ it. 1st, in James if u read the context of vs 14, (ct:15-16,), 17 (18), 19 (cf Deut. 6:4), it's nt talking about saved x wrks bt salvation 2 people w/ is most evident in vs 18 [a man may say...shw me... (nt shw God)]. 2nd, we as Christias r nt 2 keep the Sabbath, it's only 4 the Jews. In Col. 2:14-16, both Circumcison & Sabbath were counted as a curse & so like any commandment, Jesus indeed nailed it on the Cross (Gal. 3:10-13)

Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." -John 6:29
