Am I wrong in that God created us and knew exactly what we would do based on where he placed us and how he made us? Had we always existed and we approached God and asked to live with him and we willingly came here to prove ourselves, I would understand that, but that is not what the theology...

If there is anywhere you feel I am misrepresenting this or I have something wrong, please let me know.

I have a problem with this and I’m likely one in a line of countless people that have had these types of questions. Christian theology teaches: 1. God created everyone ex nihilo. He brought into everyone from not existing to existence, designed each one of us from the ground up, loved us, and...

When I am thinking about the argument about faith v works, the only people engaging in that conversation are people who actually care about salvation. The only people that care about salvation are people who actually have a belief there is a God and have accepted him. If accepting Christ is all...

Do you have any insights on how much grace and mercy God will give those that are deceived and live their life by such deceptive false doctrines?

I appreciate your response! I am on a couple faith forums now and am accustomed to differing views. So my question to this goes back to faith and works. I hear so much demonizing if the works approach and so much focus on being saved by faith and grace… yet it seems based on these responses...

Because I want to, and my life experience leads me to believe. I don’t know there is a God. I don’t know Christ died for my sins. But I do know that I am happiest when I choose faith. I am experience blessings and miracles when I choose faith. I experience guidance in prayer, some guidance more...

Hey everyone! I’ll be popping in and out as often as I need. I have a ton of questions for my Protestant friends and I don’t really have any place to go with those questions. I also love the spirit Protestants carry with them and their passionate love for Christ. I hope to learn a lot here. I...

I understand why works do not save. I get it. My question now is pertaining to faith without works being dead. what does it mean to have a dead faith?

How do we interpret James 2:14-26? It seems to suggest works are important for something. A lack of works leads to dead faith

How do we understand James 2:14-26? It’s suggesting that one can have faith without works, and such people’s faith is dead. what does this mean?

The title says it all. I don’t really understand what this praise means. What does it mean to have a relationship with God? What are examples of this?

Would it be safe to say that both are equally important? If someone is seeking faith and work, would not both come more quickly and naturally? Building one builds the other

thank you! So it’s more about the idea of doing good works before men to receive praise rather than to glory God? how would we explain James 2:14-26 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked...

Wouldn’t a person who is doing works already have faith and be covered under the grave of God?

I’ve seen many articles and YT videos of Christian’s passionately talking about how we aren’t saved by works. Some go as far as to speak ill of people who value works. Why is this? Will people who believe works are important to to hell? If a faith teaches that both faith and works are...
