Why do you think that I trust in myself over Jesus? Why do you deny the Catholic Church
Because you believe in yourself to keep works.
This is very simple, iSnark.
Why do you not understand that "Faith WITHOUT works is dead.
The problem with you quoting this is that you assume faith without works is not saving faith, yet they are still one and the same.
Let's take a look at Romans 4 for example;
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
So we see that Abraham's faith is what is counted for righteousness.
Continuing...
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
So faith without works but believing on Jesus, who justifies the ungodly, is what is counted for rightousness.
Continuing...
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
And so for the 3rd time in a row, we see that faith without works is saving faith.
Circling back around; You are trusting in YOUR WORKS instead of in Jesus for your salvation.
