I further pointed out:
Consider:“Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.” (Romans 4:3, Galatians 3:6, & James 2:23) Yet, just exactly how was Abraham’s faith expressed?
Genesis 22:[1] After these things God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here am I.”
[2] He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Mori’ah, and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”…
[9] When they came to the place of which God had told him, Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.
[10] Then Abraham put forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
Rahab the prostitute: How was her faith expressed?
Hebrews 11:31 By faith Rahab the harlot perished not with the unbelievers, receiving the spies with peace.
James 2:25 And in like manner also Rahab the harlot, was not she justified by works, receiving the messengers, and sending them out another way?
Even though it was their faith that saved them, what was the expression of that faith? Go ahead, say it…The Word of God does. It was what they did.
You are propounding the errant teachings of men, and in fact that constitutes a different gospel.
The fact is that the very Word of God that you tell us is your sole authority teaches that faith that doesn’t express itself by works is not saving faith at all.
Can a person confess Christ with their mouth (as you harp upon from the scriptures) and still not be saved? Oh wait! You tell me that I must confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in my heart that God has raised Him from the dead in order to be saved, (to which a faithful Catholic will say AMEN! ALLELUIA! but confessing Him like that is a work isn’t it? And my participation in the sacraments, what is that? A faith induced work that merits the more grace to feed the “breeder reactor” of love for Our Lord that is me.
No xFBx, your gospel is different from the one I find in the Bible and the one the Catholic Church preaches lines up perfectly with both the Bible and the writings of the early church all down through the 2,000 years of Christian history.
So…then why is it that you cannot see the sacraments for exactly what they are, expressions of the very faith that you make such an issue of?

So then, why do you deny what the apostle St. James clearly writes about, and what Our Lord plainly tells us about how we will all be judged in Matthew 25:31-46?
