Please stop whining like a testy evangelical old Texan.Jesus that you supposedly follow says Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. And your worried bout class .bless those who call you out on your Hersesy.
No matter how many times you repeat two words out of context in a passage like you're talking to 5 year olds, doesn't change the fact that you're dangerously spreading a false doctrine. Believing on Christ means holding God's law. One cannot just believe in Jesus and then do what they want and then get into Heaven. Anyone with a brain cell and a Bible can figure that out pretty quick.
@@vict0reeyou cannot have Christ in your heart and say you believe yet you do such atrocities, Off course if we believe we accept him as God and the fruit of the holy spirit within us after we accept and believe in Jesus Christ is we follow and obey Jesus Christ and do good things that's the result ...spread the gospel of Full Grace. We are saved by Grace of God alone! his teaching the right true doctrine based on the bible❤
At the end of this video you said "once you are saved you are always saved". Sam was once a Protestant like you,he once believed in "once saved always saved". Why would you want him to repent if he is saved? You said "once known always known". According to your belief Sam is saved and does not need repenting so why do you want him to repent? I recently discovered your channel and i really like what i saw in your other video against Sam but when i heard you saying once saved always saved i cannot believe anything you say anymore
@@tiaansteyn7836 okay, while you maintain your salvation, we will trust in Christ for ours. I use to work so hard to “stay saved” Be careful, God might throw you in hell. Is that a better message for you?
Watch out for assuming that merely saying you believe in Christ is enough. It's important to clarify what truly believing in Christ means. A couple of months ago, I asked my dad if he believed in Jesus Christ, and he said yes. But when I pressed further and asked if he believed that Jesus died for his sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day for him, my dad admitted he doesn't believe any of that. So the question is: is he saved? The answer is clearly no. To believe in Jesus Christ means to place your complete trust in His death, burial, and resurrection for your total salvation, with no additions or subtractions. Believing in Christ is about trusting in what He accomplished for you on the cross, which is His death, burial, and resurrection. You gotta explain the word “BELIEVE IN CHRIST” means.
Sam skips right over what the "will of the Father" means. He implies it means "to follow the Law." He doesn't even attempt to prove this claim. He bullies the man he's arguing with so that he doesn't even ask about it. Sam is a smart man, but also a proud man. I pray that his pride will not prevent him from seeing the truth of the gospel.
@@harveygosal It relates in the sense that those in Matthew 25 also didn't do the will of the Father. The judgment of the sheep and the goats highlights the collective commendation of believers and the collective condemnation of unbelievers. Due to our standing, believers can only be commended, and unbelievers can only be condemned. Christ says unto the goats, "Depart from me," which parallels perfectly with Matthew 7:21-23. The goats never did the will of the Father, as defined in John 6:40; therefore, they were never saved. That doesn't substantiate your position.
The only reason anybody will enter Heaven, is that they possess Eternal Life. The only reason anybody will be cast into the Lake of Fire, is that they do NOT possess Eternal Life. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20: 12-15 "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:13 Believe on the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.. Everlasting/Eternal Life is in HIM. Place your faith on HIM.. God is True.. every other way is a lie, leading unto death. God made simple, plain and clear how Man MUST be saved. Believe His Gospel.
@@harveygosal 2 Timothy 3:16 King James Version 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: I think we can agree there are no contradictions in God's word, for God is not a liar. There is no sin in Him. Therefor we can conclude that if there seems to be a contradiction it's actually our own understanding that is flawed. Salvation cannot be by works and ill show the verses. They are very clear. The other verses that seem to point to works would contradict so we must know that our understanding is flawed somewhere if we think we see a contradiction.. this is so important. Romans 4:5 King James Version 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Romans 3:28 King James Version 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Philippians 1:6 Amplified Bible 6 I am convinced and confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will [continue to] perfect and complete it until the day of Christ Jesus [the time of His return]. Ephesians 1:13-14 Amplified Bible 13 In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God]. 14 The Spirit is the [a]guarantee [the first installment, the pledge, a foretaste] of our inheritance until the redemption of God’s own [purchased] possession [His believers], to the praise of His glory.

hes great at destroying muslims in debates and exposing muhammad as a false prophet but when it comes to salvation ofc hes trusting in himself for salvation rather than trusting in christ alone for salvation thats why Jesus says in Matthew 7:22-23 “MANY” will be trusting in themselves for salvation rather than trusting alone in the son for salvation
If once saved always saved why can we be blotted out of the book of life because to be taken out of the book of life like the bible teaches us your name has to be there first
1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. The Book of life is a record of everyone who has ever lived, once we are saved by faith we can never be blotted out. If a person never gets saved, their name will be blotted out.
There is a distinction between the "book of the living" mentioned in the Old Testament and the "Book of Life" referenced in the New Testament. Book of the Living: In the Old Testament, the "book of the living" is often understood as a metaphorical register of those who are alive on earth. For example, in Psalm 69:28, when David speaks of his enemies being blotted out of the "book of the living," it is a plea for justice and can imply a desire for their physical death or removal from the community of the living. This concept is more about temporal life and judgment. Book of Life: In the New Testament, the "Book of Life" is associated with eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ. It contains the names of those who have eternal life because of their faith in Christ. Revelation 3:5 assures believers that their names will never be erased from the Book of Life, emphasizing the security and permanence of their salvation. This book is about eternal destiny and the assurance of being with God forever. The New Testament focus is on the assurance and security of believers' salvation, highlighting that those who are in Christ are eternally secure and will not be blotted out from the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 20:15).
Sam is rude, prideful, and uses derogatory language, which doesn't align with Christian values. He directs this behavior towards both Christians and non-Christians alike.
Funny how a man who's rude, prideful and arrogant teaches how "Faith alone" is a false doctrine. If that were true, then he himself would have absolutely no hope
He teaches that "Faith alone" is a false doctrine, but is himself rude, prideful and arrogant. What he doesn't realise is that if it weren't Faith alone, he himself would have absolutely no hope
@@believer431 I agree completely. They believe that they can please God through their works alone, but fail to understand that true faith in Jesus is what truly brings salvation. This is why Jesus said, "Many will seek for me, but not find me" (John 7:34).
The gospel gets better and better the more I hear it. The Word of God is so powerful for assurance, for salvation, for everything. There are so many benefits to reading or hearing the Word. It is spiritual food. Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. And he said that the word sanctifies us in John 17:17. God bless you all.
Jhn 6:39 - And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. Jhn 6:40 - And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
@@Trivdgun- great scriptures don’t know why you would think I would ignore them the word of God is the bread of life! I do hope you aren’t suggesting I have to do something to earn salvation are you? Because that is foolishness you don’t clean a fish before you catch it do you? Do hope you get that analogy.
Honestly, the stream he did yesterday, praising the queen of heaven, while calling eternal security a blasphemy... My heart is grieved by his lack of respect for our Savior. I've watched his Islam outreach & he can be quite harsh with people, I understand the disrespectful individuals, but he seems to lack the spirit of love, a sounding gong to the ears. The legalism is insane. Thank you brother Ono Blessings fam 🫀
I simply commented “does Sam live in the US?” On one of his lives, And he literally said “Your mother is a whore” I was like what the!? I’m a fellow believer in Christ what’s wrong with you? He is really good as destroying Muslims but this is disappointing that he’s basically preaching works based salvation now
Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. John 6:40 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. Believe in him
It takes more than just 'believing' Have you read the parable of the talents in Matthew 25? The wicked and lazy servant didn't use his talent, he buried it in the earth, he wasn't doing anything, he wasn't producing any good fruit, no good works, he was "unprofitable" and what does Jesus do with the unprofitable servant? "Cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" *Matthew 25:30*
The person being cast into this outer darkness is not being punished because he did not accomplish enough for the master. He's not being damned for his disobedience. Rather, his actions prove he's not a true servant at all: he's a pretender. When the master gave him a talent, he blatantly refused to use it, and made derogatory excuses (Matthew 25:24-25). In a sense, the lazy man is not losing his servanthood; he's proving he never really had it in the first place. As a result, he'll be rejected by the master.@@Jason-Austin
James 2:20 “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seeth thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” Deny yourself means you don’t get credit for doing God’s work, that’s called obedience, it means deny your fleshly desires. Pick up your cross is work, do you think Jesus had an easy time carrying his? No, it’s work! And follow him, Jesus healed the sick, he fed people. “Saved by grace alone, so that no one can brag.” Well anything good about you, or that you do, is his credit. The only thing we can take credit for is our disobedience, that’s called repentance. We can never brag because that’s pride. That doesn’t mean we get a free pass to sit on our butts and do nothing but have faith. “Faith without works is dead.” We were hired to work in the Lords vineyard, are you just going to stand around and do nothing “The Lord is gracious and did all the work so that no one can brag, I have faith that he will pay me.” Do not deceive yourself folks. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

Think about the subjective nature of how you define faith. Which commands? What level of obedience is necessary? Who defines this standard? How can you personally be sure that you’re sufficiently obeying Christ’s commands?
@@OnoDiamante It's not my opinion it's what the scriptures say. The commandment is to love one another. John 15:10 NKJV If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. It doesn't just stop at believing, it transcends to acting like who we believe in(Jesus). Jesus didn't just believe in His father He did what His Father commanded Him to do. And so we too are to emulate this too. Faith without works is practically dead. John 15:12-14 NKJV [12] This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. [13] Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. [14] You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. The command is to love not just inwardly but outwardly.

You know.. you can either interpret the Will of the Father, by your own understanding.. or you can disregard your own understanding and take John 6: 40 at face value. If it is established that God is NOT the author of confusion, does NOT contradict Himself ever.. and CANNOT lie.. interpreting the Will of the Father to be obeying commandments, or DOING anything beyond what is declared as such in John 6: 40 clearly shows UNBELIEF. These people then develop this pride, that they believe God doesn't speak purely.. plainly.. clearly.. that THEY are so wise, that THEY understand what God REALLY means. The moment someone redefines words such as believe.. faith.. it shows they cannot accept the truth. If I say "The truck is red" and you say you believe, yet think "red" here means "brown".. that says you do not believe, yet lie to yourself and others. These people are so blind in their unbelief, they actually think God sent His Son to die so that we simply follow statutes. That is Good news to them.. rendering Christ's completed work as vanity and pointless. They might as well call themselves the Circumcision.
On a Sam video, he said he only prays to and receives from the third person of the Trinity. He doesn't commune with the Father or Son at all. 1 John 2:22,24 KJV Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Many people will make this claim and yet many people will be REJECTED. *MATTHEW 7:21-23*

Something I had a revelation on is we can never out sin God's grace. That is truly amazing! I'm not saying abuse God's grace or use God's grace as a license to sin. God forbid!

@@MetanoiaAndBelievecould I ask my understanding is when we place our trust and believe in Jesus that he’s the only way to God to be saved then after that its then God’s righteousness that will shape you into wanting to do the things of God and choosing to not want to intentionally and deliberately sin against him because it’s shows a lack of care, concern, love and respect for the lord and that person motives are wrong. So for the ones that had chosen to accept Christ for what he has done for us and the love he has shown us knowing that we are saved solely by his grace which is his great love, mercy, forgiveness he has offered to us that should want you to show him the respect, and love we have for him back. Doing so it’s solely out of love and respect for his great name to want to please him, honor him and to show that love back by choosing to be obedient but not just trying to do it out of duty or by believing that doing so is getting you into heaven or trying to make him favourite you. Am I right? Sorry if I’m not explaining it right

The truth is if you live under a false gospel of works you will either most likely hide your sins claiming to better than others while continuing to grow in sin because the law brings more sin about not less….that is its purpose than grace actually does this… Which one produces more thankfulness…..law or grace?

I’m so thankful for this video. Almost 3 years ago, I was in such a great place. I was SAVED by the grace of God through the blood of Christ Jesus by the work He did at the Cross. I was in such a great place, worshipping Him daily, walking with Him, spreading the gospel, helping with Sunday School at my local church. I started watching Sam’s videos / debates with Muslims. I married an ex-Muslim, who is now agnostic, so I had a vested interest in learning more about this topic. In one of his videos though, Sam said something to the effect of “to all you Protestants, get back to the ONE TRUE CHURCH asap, because there is no Salvation outside of the Catholic Church”. To say that it felt like someone hit me in the stomach with a sledgehammer is an understatement! I have spent the last 3 years in therapy, undergoing severe depression, constantly reading my Bible up and down, trying to find a loophole that would prove him right (still haven’t found it). I love Sam, and I think he is a very knowledgeable man; however, that one statement that he made almost ruined my life. It put me through hell on earth for the past 3 years, and made me question everything I thought I knew to be true, only because I respected him so much.
What are talking about. I watch his livestreams very consistently and every time he gets asked if protestants are saved he says the same thing. They are and can be saved, especially if they are trinitarian protestant and truly love the Lord. I think you misunderstood him when he was being sarcastic. Hes very sarcastic and was probably making fun of people whk think that they are the only ones whk are saved, like Jehovah witnesses for example.
He also is Catholic now. The catholic church says that there is salvation outside of the catholic church. When the Catholic church says theres no salvation outside of the church, they are talking about the "church" of baptized believers in Christ. They say if youre baptised and truly follow God then you are part of the "Church" which means youre saved. Get that thought out of your head. Sam says the opposite of what you think he said.
@@Veritas231 The Catholic definition of saved you gave is incorrect. And I'm sure she knows exactly what Sam said to make her feel that way... The things Sam says is incorrect, literally the reason for this video from Ono. Sam is in error and therefore the things he teaches will hurt the people that listen to him.
The next question to ask should have been "what is the will of the Father?". Then you'd go to the verse that says the will of God is for everyone who sees the Son to BELIEVE in Him to be saved.

But the content creator/vlogger tried to twist Sam's argument to inject that believing in Jesus Christ is the same as obeying The Son . The truth is believing in Christ requires the faithful to obey His commandments so that one is justified as a true believer not like the hypocrites who say something but does another thing . I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten you minds .
@@perryrose2071 Those who are saved are naturally coming to obey his commands because the holy spirit is working in that person. The Holy Spirit will never be in the person that isn't saved. If a person confess with the mouth but do not obey Jesus commandments then that person doesn't have the spirit of God to begin with.
John 14:15 If you love me,keepy commandments. Knowing Jesus means knowing Gods will. We can't follow the will of the Lord without knowing him. So basically,we put our faith in Christ that's why we follow his commandments. It's our faith that saves and good works are the fruits or evidences. Ephesians 2:8-9
The will of the Father is to believe on the Son. You need to understand that no matter how good you think you are, you're not and you need to humble yourself and realize that only One was righteous. Only One was found worthy. Follow His way and trust Him and receive a gift that was given to you. Don't think for a second that you can enter in by your own door based on how you perceive your performance (and trust me, your performance isn't anywhere close to as good as you think it is, and it's been found lacking by One whose ways are higher).
John 6:40 KJV: And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
@@BoyMonty Right but why do we need to believe on Him. What I wrote is why we need to believe on Him. Our righteousness doesn't move the needle. We're in agreement. We can't earn our way there. Go back and read my comment with this context and you'll see that we agree.
@@anthonydavid8193 So clear isn't it. I love my Catholic friends dearly but they more stock in the writings of Aquinas than the direct words of scripture - from the men who literally knew Jesus of Nazareth.
Ephesians 2:8-9 ESV [8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, [9] not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Keep living like your works will save you and see how that goes for you. Gods word is clear

@@SamuelTheSonhow so? He just denied that we are saved by faith alone in Christ alone. He's not teaching the correct gospel, he's teaching a different gospel, therefore he IS a false teacher.
99% in trust in the finished redemptive works of Jesus Christ is not enough it's either All or nothing 100% or 0% Jesus does not need a tag team partner for our salvation 🙏
True. Christ is the Author and the Finisher of our Salvation. We have no part or contribution in it. What we do is to walk in the newness of life, in light of the Salvation we have already received, which is a lifelong process, with its ups and downs. But God is merciful, good and faithful, never to leave us, and should we backslide, He will chasten us so that we bear the fruit of righteousness, as Paul wrote
They just don't get it.. Eternal Life is available to whosoever believes.. whosoever thirsts, is beckoned to come drink freely.. Instead of eating freely of the Tree of Life, they would rather eat again of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.. and they lust to prevent others from reaching out and receiving Eternal Life freely from God.

Even though Sam Shamoun does a great job debunking Islam, that's about it... He is still an unregenerated man trying to establish his own righteousness and not submitting to the true gospel. Thanks Ono for this great video ! God bless !
“Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not what I say.” (Luke 6:46) What does it mean to "believe in the Son". It means to truly believe what he said and taught. That is the will of the Father. What did Christ teach? Go back and read Matthew 19:16-21. And there it is in the Lord’s very words. Keeping God's commandments and following Him. Are you having a hard time believing in what he said? If so, then you don't believe him and your faith is in vain. What is the patience of the saints which echo's Matthew 19:16:21 as it is written: “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Rev. 14:12) The teaching of the OT and NT summed up in one simple sentence: “If you love me, you will obey my commandments”. (John 14:15) A major theological phrase that emerged from the Protestant Revolution five centuries ago was solo fide-“by faith alone.” The Catholic monk Martin Luther strongly opposed certain unbiblical and corrupt teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic church he was part of, particularly the sale of “indulgences” based on the idea that people could, by deeds (works) such as financial payments, gifts or service to the church, lessen their or their loved ones’ punishment in a supposed “purgatory” in the afterlife. He condemned these sales as a deceitful means to filling the coffers of the church and its leaders. Luther’s goal was well intended - to reform the Catholic Church. Luther’s protests in time spawned the Protestant Reformation-a protest movement that did lead to reform, albeit principally through the rise of many new Protestant churches where previously there had been one major dominant and universal (the meaning of “catholic”) church. Luther’s catchphrase solo fide, “by faith alone,” summed up his opposition to not only practices such as the sale of indulgences and the notion that people could effectively buy their way into heavenly salvation, but even the idea that any kind of works were required for salvation, including obedience to God’s law. This was the biggest mistake he ever made as obedience to God’s law by faith is the core teaching of the Bible - If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). The entire teaching of the OT and NT summed up by Christ in one simple sentence. The simplicity that is Christ. No bible scholarship needed! Luther insisted that faith alone was required for salvation-adding “alone” even though this idea appeared nowhere in the Bible (he added to God’s word which is forbidden- yet another grave mistake, Prov. 30:5-6). He read this idea back into the apostle Paul’s writings ignoring what Paul’s words had meant to his original first-century audience. In fact, the book of James explicitly states that “a person is justified [made right with God] by works and NOT BY FAITH ALONE” (James 2:24, CSB)-and for this Luther called it “an epistle of straw” and argued the Book of James should be removed from the Bible! To think Luther actually wanted to remove the word of God as it didn’t line up with his own beliefs, but then again that is typical Catholic theology. He didn’t believe what the half-brother of our Lord said nor did he believe what Christ said either for it is written: “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to HIS WORK.” (Rev. 22:12) In battling the wrong idea of earning salvation in one of its worst manifestations, Luther and those who took up his cause landed in the opposite end of the ditch (as Christ foretold if the blind led the blind). Thus, out of the Protestant Reformation emerged the unbiblical idea that grace is the opposite of law and law is the opposite of grace. In reality, the opposite of law isn’t grace but lawlessness-and the opposite of grace isn’t law but disgrace. We must always read the Bible carefully and not jump to conclusions not supported by Scripture! Misreading “by grace you have been saved through faith” Where did these misguided views of Luther and other Protestant Reformers come from? In part they come from misunderstanding Ephesians 2:8-9, which reads: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the GIFT of God, not of WORKS, lest anyone should boast.” These reformers saw this passage as proof that salvation comes by grace through faith and not by works-thus Luther’s formulation of solo fide, or “faith alone.” But like all failed Bible scholars do, they cherry picked the verse to make it line up with their own belief. They should have continued reading a little further, as Paul explains in the very next verse: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God PREPARED BEFOREHAND that we should WALK IN THEM” (verse 10)-that is, as noted earlier, “to be our WAY of life” (NRSV). So what “good works” did God create beforehand? Let’s read what this means as it is written in Psalm 111: “Great are the WORKS of the LORD; THEY ARE STUDIED by all who delight in them.” (Psa. 111:2). What “works” were studied? Now go read Psalm 119 all of it. David wrote it as he was recognized in this way as it is written: “After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, a MAN AFTER MY HEART, WHO WILL DO ALL MY WILL.’ (Acts 13:22) Oh look! There goes the will of the Father again! That’s right! Christ is the personification of the spiritual law, the 10 Commandments. That is why Christ is called, “the stone that the builders rejected” and "the Way". If you read the scripture correctly (go back and read it again), we are not saved by our OWN works. Nothing that we can or might do of ourselves, including acts of obedience to God’s law, could ever earn God’s gift of grace (the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38). It is faith in Christ which means actually believing in what He said. I personally tried keeping God’s laws without the Holy Spirit and failed miserably! Once God gave me the gift of his Spirit, I fully understood the importance of keeping God’s holy and sacred laws, the very laws by which he will judge humanity and rule his kingdom. One can never do that of themselves, only God can - still can’t see? Christ said the Holy Spirit would convict us of sin. What is sin? Breaking God's laws (1 John 3:4-6). The laws of the Lord are spiritual (Rom. 7:14). The laws are “HOLY, RIGHT and GOOD” (Rom. 7:12). Only God’s Holy Spirit can understand the very character of God, righteousness; his royal laws (Psa. 119:172), the perfect embodiment of Christ. Our own human nature without the Holy Spirit can’t understand or obey the laws of God - it can’t and it won’t (Rom 8:7). It’s impossible! So rather than saying good works are unnecessary for a Christian, Paul emphatically states that good works are a necessary part of a Christian’s life! This is what Christ taught: Obedience to God’s laws as he was, get this, a sinless man all the way to his death. We are to live just as Christ did (1 John 2:6) all the way to death or until his glorious and mighty return. What Paul is telling us here is that “by grace”-by God’s merciful forgiveness of our sins for which we deserved the death penalty (Romans 6:23)-we “have been saved through faith”. Once we have truly repented and have died to sin with Christ on our own cross, we are given the Holy Spirit, his gift, the gift of grace, the Spirit of Christ! Nothing you could do of yourself! What do you think Christ died for anyway? Sin, the breaking of God’s law (1 John 3:4). Again, we are supposed to live just like he did (1 John 2:6). That my friend is the whole point. “Only he who believes is obedient; only he who is obedient believes.” -Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by the Nazis during WWII. Bottom Line: Salvation is not the reward for obedience. Salvation is the reason for obedience! The problem with what is called “modern Christianity” is that most don’t believe what Christ said and taught. Sad. Christ said this as it is written: “A kingdom divided will not stand.” So where does this leave 45,000 different factions of Chrisitanity today who can’t agree on doctrine? It leaves them in Matt. 7:21-23. Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
but not one single person goes and lives a life sin free. Jesus very clearly in scripture puts a magnifying glass on sin and lawbreaking in order to make that point clear.... so.... youre saying we must be sinfree, but much of the bible says otherwise... which is it?
@@thecrayoncop What I’m saying? Hardly! I only speak as the Spirit of God allows. The Spirit gives me the ability to point to the words that lead to life. The bottom line, we are to STRIVE to be like our Lord and Master. Christ said we must endure until the end of our lives. It’s not a one and done upon conversion like so many believe. It’s a life long process. You are changing into the “new man”. Once saved, always saved, is a doctrine of demons, don’t be deceived by the world’s cheap grace. The Bible teaches: “The one who sins is the one dies”. (Ezek. 18:20). It also teaches, “The wages of sin is death”. (Rom. 6:23) Modern Christianity teaches cheap grace, but true grace is given once you have truly repented of sin and then receiving God’s gift, the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). So the question you have to ask yourself is: Do I have the Holy Spirit? Based on your response, it is clear you don’t. If you did, the Spirit would convict you of sin just like the Lord said and then you wouldn’t continue to sin. The Spirit will convict you to the point where you will continue to change your entire life and see that sin is really sinful so that you don’t continue in it. Believing in what Christ said and taught is faith. Christ died for the sins of the world. What is sin? Breaking God's laws, the 10 Commandments, the spiritual laws (Rom 7:14) of His kingdom as it is written: "EVERYONE WHO SINS IS BREAKING GOD’S LAW, for ALL SIN is contrary to the law of God. And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. Anyone who continues to LIVE in HIM WILL NOT SIN. But anyone who keeps on sinning DOES NOT KNOW HIM OR UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS." (1 John 3:4-6) And to continuing in the same thought as it is written: “Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. But WHEN PEOPLE KEEP ON SINNING, it shows that THEY BELONG TO THE DEVIL, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been BORN into God’s family DO NOT MAKE A PRACTICE OF SINNING, because God’s life is in them. So THEY CAN’T KEEP ON SINNING, because they are children of God. Here is an example of the world’s cheap grace: The world says: “Just call upon the name of the Lord, it's that simple”. Really? What did the Lord, Jesus (Yeshua the Messiah) have to say about only calling on his name in his own words? As it is written: “Not everyone who CALLS out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who ACTUALLY DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER in heaven will enter. On judgment day MANY WILL SAY TO ME, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I WILL REPLY, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. Get away from me, you who BREAK God’s laws.’ (Matt. 7:21-23). It is clearly written by the apostle John to support Christ's statement of fact of John 14:15 as it is written: "And we can be sure that we know him if WE OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. If someone claims, “I know God,” but DOEN'T OBEY God’s commandments, THAT PERSON IS A LIAR and is NOT LIVING IN THE TRUTH. But those WHO OBEY God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God SHOULD LIVE THEIR LIVES AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:3-6). "We know we love God’s children if we love God and OBEY his commandments. Loving God MEANS keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome." (1 John 5:2-3). So the next question becomes: Do you live your life just like Jesus (Yeshua) did? Do you honestly even try in everything you say and do? Do you know that if you live your life just like Jesus (Yeshua) you will be hated and persecuted for it? Not by just the world, but those the closest to you (wife/kids/family/friends). Are you enduring and rejoicing in your sufferings? If your answer is no, then you haven’t found the narrow gate. The Lord said this about the narrow gate as it is written: “Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. But THE GATE TO LIFE is narrow and THE WAY THAT LEADS TO IT IS HARD, and there are FEW PEOPLE WHO FIND IT” (Matt. 7:13-14). Or are you travelling the wide gate just like the other 45,000 divided religious, man-made denominations created by men in the world today? The Bible teaches that Christ and his kingdom are not divided (1 Cor. 1:10, Matt. 12:25). Seek the Lord in spirit and truth as God commands (John 4:24). Ask, seek and knock and He will give you the Spirit. Once you do have the Spirit, then he will teach you what is true and you will no longer have to relay on the teachings of failed theologians and their failed human wisdom as the Spirit will teach you everything (1 John 2:27). And the truth can only do one thing for us: “set you free” (John 8:32) I will pray that the Lord send you his Spirit. Repent for the Kingdom of God is coming!
@@lcenteno262 I appreciate your response. My life has changed in incredible ways and sin has been killed. And The Holy Spirit is still convicting me and pushing me toward righteousness daily. Maybe our comments were misconstrued.
@@thecrayoncop No worries as misunderstanding happen. Stay in prayer and continually ask the Lord to increase the power of his Spirit. Keep asking and seeking in all humility as we live in some really evil times. Satan and the evil powers of this age will continue to attack Continue to wear the amour of God and He will take care of the rest. To God be the glory! Amen!
”For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”“ John 6:40 NASB1995
Believing in Jesus means following his laws, instructions, etc. Please don't think the narrow road to heaven is made for "Christians" who simply have believed he is the son of God and died for our sins. You must follow him, and have faith in Jesus that following him is the only way. No more habitual sin, no more hate, no more idolizing, no more worldliness. This will produce good fruit and is very difficult because love is sacrificea and painful at times. You will know them by their fruit, we are in the last days.
But how is that grace? I’m not saying don’t repent, we should buy out of love for THE GODHEAD like Jesus said “ if you love me keep my commandments.” The scripture makes it clear that you are saved by grace through faith not of any works. And if your trusting in your works alongside delivering in Jesus for salvation, then your adding a partner to Him, which in reality is not believing in him and not trusting in Him
@averythompkins3682 This is my understanding, and it is critical for salvation. Our works are like dirty rags, and they are not acceptable for the Lord. This is why God gave us Jesus so his Beatitudes, Gospel, apostolic instructions will show us what Good works are, he is the gift of God. We then start to obey his commandments, pray, worship, deny the world, and in return God gives us Grace and HIS works. We then are given grace and the Holy Spirit that works through our clay bodies doing not our works (for we don't boast) but the workmanship of the Lord. We are no longer under the Law in Jesus, because we walk in the Spirit so the old Law is no longer needed. All glory to God.
The grace is that God has giving us the ability for redemption that by believing in Christ than the belief will lead to doing the will of the father as we must die to self and allow God to work through us. It's not our works that come from our belief but imus submitting ourselves to the Lord and him doing the work through us.
Sam, you need to balance the scripture on salvation by faith; if not, many will be led astray. To believe in the Son of God Jesus Christ is doing the will of God. John 6:29. Acts 16:30-31. Dear Sam, active obedience is an activity powered by faith, which comes from the heart. Only those that hear, and see the glory in the person of Christ are made alive to bear good fruits. You don't expect a dead man to do anything, but once he is made alive by the Holy Spirit, he will be inspired to live right. Eph:2:10. Those who obtained the power to do the work of God are first made alive in Christ. We are not under the law but under the grace. Which means we are made alive to live right.
The false prophets came around the 1600's and multiplied to over 40,000 different cults, and all have the original church on their sights as their main enemy. But the gates of hell will never prevail against my church Jesus promised, praise be our Lord Jesus!!!
You guys worship your denomination 🙏🏻(not all but so many), nd calling protestant heretic while Protestants also love the sane God buy you guys call them heretics!

John 6:40 (ESV) 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
James 2:24 does not argue against salvation by faith alone. Rather, it argues against a salvation that is alone, a salvation devoid of good works and obedience to God’s Word. James’s point is that we demonstrate our faith by what we do (James 2:18). Regardless of the absence of the precise phrase “faith alone,” the New Testament definitely teaches that salvation is the product of God’s grace in response to our faith. “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? . . . On that of faith” (Romans 3:27). There is no other requirement.
@@jjmcgee5902"a person is justified by works and not by faith alone" "faith apart from works is useless" "faith apart from work is dead" how can anyone read these verses and thinks he was not argue against "faith alone"? no interpretation can change the meaning of those verses
@@freethinker810 For Paul, "justification by works" (which he rejects) means "gaining right standing with God by the merit of works." For James, "justification by works" (which he accepts) means "maintaining a right standing with God by faith along with the necessary evidence of faith, namely, the works of love." When Paul teaches in Romans 4:5 that we are justified by faith alone, he means that the only thing that unites us to Christ for righteousness is dependence on Christ. When James says in James 2:24 that we are not justified by faith alone he means that the faith which justifies does not remain alone. These two positions are not contradictory. Faith alone unites us to Christ for righteousness, and the faith that unites us to Christ for righteousness does not remain alone. It bears the fruit of love. It must do so or it is dead, demon, useless faith and does not justify. The glory of Christ in the gospel is not merely that we are justified when we depend entirely on Christ, but also that depending entirely on Christ is the power that makes us new, loving people. Depending entirely on Christ is how we are justified and how we are sanctified.
John 6:40 (CSB) “For this is the will of my Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
I think Protestants read the Scriptures like a buffet. They read what they want and say this proves the point. You referenced John 6:40, yet John 6:35 He says "I am the bread of life" then in John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I give is MY flesh for the life of the world. Wait so is John 6:40 the truth or is Jesus suddenly lying in John 6:51. What about Jesus lying in John 6:53 Jesus said to them. "AMEN, AMEN I say to use, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 56 "whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. ... but wait you said John 6:40 proves Sola Fida. Sola Fida is picking and choosing what the you (the individual not saying specifically to you the person, you meaning anyone) want and then rejecting what you don't want. Jesus doesn't work that way. I/You/everyone must accept ALL of Jesus. He is not a buffet. You (again, anyone) don't get to decided what parts of Jesus you can accept and what parts you can reject. Jesus says in John 13:34 "I give you a new commandment : love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. 1 John 3:11 For this is the message you have heard from the beginning; we should love, 1 John 3:19-22. Sola Fida is all we need, but wait that is what Jesus said in John 3:5 -6, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. For Sola Fide, it doesn't just say born of spirit. It says WATER AND SPIRIT. Sola Fide, Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Jesus doesn't say believe and nothing else. He uses the word AND. Are we saved by God's GRACE, 100%, there is no disagreement. BUT, how do we receive that grace. Thru FAITH. again, 100%. That is what Ephesians 2:6-9... I don't get to choose Ephesians 2:6-9 or Romans 10:8-13 and disregard John 6, Mark 16:16, Matthew 7. They all have to fit together. You (again, anyone reading) accept ALL, you get a serving of everything! Sola Fide can NOT get around John 3:5-6 the AND. Mark 16:16 the word AND... Sola Fide is a a man made lie. It is NOT what Jesus taught. It is NOT what the Apostles taught. James, "Faith without Works is DEAD" you get a serving of that at the buffet. You (again, anyone reading this) needs to accept that. Why, did Martin Luther want to get rid of the book of James? He did not want the sheep to have any of that served up. To anyone who responses, you can quote any passage you want, but you are just proving my point of the buffet Jesus. God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit do NOT contradict themselves. So any passage you cite, as if it contradicts and trumps this passage; it doesn't work that way!
Later in Galatians, chapter 5 tells us that the sinful nature leads to death and won’t inherit the kingdom of god. Ones saved always saved? The scripture warns us we could lose our salvation because of sin.
In biblical context, what does it mean to “believe?” An individual who professes belief; “by their fruits, ye shall know them.” In biblical context what does it mean to have “faith?” An individual who professes faith; “by their fruits, ye shall know them.” Fruit is not a reference to what is professed. A profession is a declaration. Fruit is what is produced not what is professed. The fruit that is produced can be seen. It is evident. Anyone can declare/profess anything. No one can completely hide what they produce. Ultimately it is evident.
If faith alone is a lie, so Jesus Christ lied to us when that time of the crucification...the man on his right side he will be saved by faith alone and go with him on his kingdom. Jesus Christ my Lord, my God and my Savior is not a liar. So faith alone is genuine.
If the theif on the cross some how could survive the event. He would live the rest of his life doing works. Thats why he is saved. The important thing to learn about the theif on the cross is that if someone truly accepts God right before their death. God doesnt need to see the works He knows it would have happened if they lived longer.
Go on Sam Shamouns live and debate him. This will help a lot of people on hear faith. No excuses, just do it for the people of you are strong in your faith.

I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten you minds .
@@perryrose2071 Wrong none of your works save you…we work from our salvation not in order to obtain it….but perform that which is good according to Gods purposes and plans! No one will stand justified before God in their works only those who trust Christ and his finished work on the cross.
IF we continue to walk in sin instead of repenting and turning away from our wicked and ways, THEN we are condemned because if we walk by the flesh we are not walking according to the covenant through Jesus blood and instead re-crucifying him to the cross! We are not works based but we were not saved through Jesus to live a life of sin scott free. It is by faith through grace that WE DO the will of the Father and trust in the Lord Jesus.

"Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only."
John 6 :39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Notice it doesn't say this is the ONLY thing my Father wills. Don't read your belief into the text. Read what it actually says. There are many more scriptures that covey the will of the Father and it goes beyond John 6:39. Jesus simply mentioned a SINGLE aspect of the complex will of God.
I’m so thankful for this video! It has released me from the burden of having to repent, or get baptized, or feed the poor, or go to church because now I realize all I need is mere faith. Thank you!
Joh 6:28 ¶ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Mt 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Heb 7:11 ¶ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? 12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. Heb 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Is there any man/woman who has obeyed God except Jesus? At least not me. I sin every moment in my heart and mind. I only rest on the sacrifice of Jesus to be accepted in God's kingdom. I also believe through my 'common sense' that if obidienc and other works are also the criteria for my acceptance into God's kingdom, then I am a failure. Even though we humans love and trust our earthly parents, we still disobey and fail our parents. That does not mean we don't love or trust our earthly parents. I am yet to come across any man/woman who has passed the test as written in Mark 12:30 except Jesus. Dear Jesus, please forgive my disobedience and inaction, and please make my tree-of-faith fruitful.
If I got to Heaven and was asked why should I let you in I sure wouldn't be talking about My works I would say because you died for me. Period!!!!❤ love you Brother. (SG)
You would then hear. “That's nice that you know that but how did you show your appreciation for my sacrifice? What did you do to further the ALL the will of my Father? *COLOSSIANS 4:12* What did you do to promote and magnify the thing I spoke about the most, which is the kingdom of God? What did you do in OBEDIENCE to my commands? *MATTHEW 28:19-20* Did you obey the Son in order to see life? *JOHN 3:36* - Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. I outlined an entire plan and other scriptures were inspired to show the ACTIVITIES my genuine followers engaged in to further promote the kingdom of God. Do you have a share in this momentous work? Why did you think the holy spirit inspired you to write the book ACTS of the Apostles? Was it for you not to ACT? “ Not sure if that conversation will go as you expect.” *MATTHEW 7:21-23*
@@toreyhorton1789 Ok, you boast to the savior about how obedient you were. You tell him how you 'shared in his momentous work' (the pride in this statement alone is truly remarkable). You tell him just how holy and righteous you are. You tell him about the many great works you did in his name. Also, John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. You clearly believe more in your obedience and good works. Bet your version also tells you that the way is easy and not broad that leads to destruction, and that the way is hard and not narrow that leads to life. Sounds like the enemy is setting you up to trust in your works buddy. Come out of that deception while you can. Or don't. Unlike what the calvanists say, you do have a choice. It's up to you to believe in the savior, in Jesus Christ... or not.
It's funny how some people can read 'believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved' and think 'cool! my good works will get me into heaven!' Strong delusion indeed.
This is a classic example of a straw man argument. Those who are complacent in their faith often attempt to portray diligent, genuine followers of Christ in a negative light because of their own lethargy and disobedience. They make absurd remarks like “boasting to Jesus” about obedience, seeking to associate a negative connotation with the genuine followers' commitment. In reality, true followers don’t feel the need to boast about anything to Jesus. He has promised to be with us until the end, and God has assured us that He will reward genuine and obedient followers based on our efforts, as we are His fellow workers. Refer to 1 Corinthians 3:8-9 for further insight. It’s important to eliminate the straw man fallacy from your argument; no one is boasting to Jesus. Remember, as stated in 1 Corinthians 4:9, angels are observing our actions. Additionally, Matthew 28:20 and Revelation 22:12 remind us that Jesus is watching, and God is aware of what we do and will reward us for it, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 3:8-9.

⛔️ It is faith + obedience to follow Jesus in all areas of your life. *26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, 27 but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.* Hebrews 10:26-27
And what is the only unforgivable sin? Blasphemy (rejecting what Jesus did for you) If you still reject the knowledge of the truth (free grace) there remains no more sacrifice for sin Do not commit the only unforgivable sin of blasphemy. That cannot be forgiven Also, don’t ever cut a portion of the population by thinking God favors the able-bodied and able-minded by thinking one must do or show something
This is my interpretation of "I NEVER KNEW YOU" i like to know your opinions of those who read my comment. "I'm wondering if following the father's will means believing in Jesus, whom he sent. Wouldn't believing in Jesus mean obeying his teachings? The Pharisees and others didn't believe in Jesus as the Messiah, so they rejected his teachings. To me, believing in Jesus means following his teachings, which emphasize loving others and trusting in his sacrifice for forgiveness." In my view, to avoid hearing "I never knew you," we need to understand how God knows us, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 8:3 (KJV): "But if any man love God, the same is known of him." This verse suggests that loving God leads to being known by Him. Loving God, as explained in 1 John 5:3 (KJV), involves keeping His commandments: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." Additionally, in John 13:34 (KJV), Jesus gives a new commandment to love one another as He has loved us. Therefore, in my view, to be recognized by God, we must love Him by obeying His commandments and love others as Jesus loved us.
"What do you say about: John 6,28-29 : Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." it is so crystal clear that only faith saves
It is God’s will to believe on the one whom he sent. Jesus Christ faith alone in Christ alone in the shed blood of Jesus, the finish redemptive work on the cross. No matter what this guy says that’s all you have to believe!
@ you’re ignorant! First of all repentance means to change your mind to go from not believing to be leaving. Water baptism is not a requirement for your salvation. Baptism is a spiritual baptism meaning you are born again in the spirit! Hit the scriptures! Study to show they self approved unto God.
@4000jes probably the one in Matthew that says to be saved you have to do the will of the father. The reason it condemns them is because they are using that to try to say that faith alone isn't what saves. But if you read what Jesus said in john "the will of he who sent me, is that whoever seeth the son, and believeth on him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day" So according to Jesus, the will of the father is that you should believe on the son so that you will have eternal life. Which idk about you, but that sounds pretty much like faith alone as the requirement, and that's straight from the lords mouth.
The discord he runs is literally moderated by Catholics upon Catholics. I got banned for basically questioning that me being catholic means I’m going to hell
God's will is to believe on the One He sent. Obedience is the fruit of the recreated human spirit. God says He will write His law on our hearts. We have the duty and priviledge of renewing our minds according to His Word. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit neither can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Whe can get the will of the Father straight from the Father in Matthew 17:5, where he says this is my son listen to him. So obedience to the Son is the will of good. What is Jesus commandment. Love God with all your heart and love you, neighbors. Faith with works in love and obedience to Jesus.
I know one thing. The will of the Father isnt "just believe on my son and do what you want and youre still getting into heaven". Obviously the people shouting "Lord Lord!" Believed in him. How is this not obvious to anyone with half a brain?
This is a clickbait video . Sam Shamoun did destroy the protestant faith alone doctrine by quoting the bible verse . But the content creator/vlogger tried to twist Sam's argument to inject that believing in Jesus Christ is the same as obeying The Son . The truth is believing in Christ requires the faithful to obey His commandments so that one is justified as a true believer not like the hypocrites who say something but does another thing . I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten you minds .
Brilliantly articulated, thankyou.... Sad that Sam can have so much knowledge and keep missing the CHARACTER of God, more importantly the Holiness of God.... Christ also says go and sin no more, an order we all fail, but it remains an order that MUST be given. It's helps us realise the Christen way of life is IMPOSSIBLE without a direct relationship with God. Thrrough Him all things are possible. Thankyou again for the video
😂 Quoting Ephisians 2:8-9 to falsely imply "Faith alone" while purposefully and very conveniently not reading verse 10 right after that which says "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
For me Sam is clear : By only faith you can cast out demons, perform many miracles,... But by faith following works he was talking about loving your neighbour, clothing the nudes visiting the sicks and prisoners, taking care of orphans and vow,etc. Mathew 25: 36. God blessing 🙌
@Trivdgun- Did you even watch the video? It's not lip service it's the truth. You cannot obey your way into heaven. You are a vile sinner and sin everyday in thought deed and action. The only way is to place all of it on Christ. That's it. You will fail.
@@CaptainPantysYou're bearing false witness against a devout Christian who serves Christ well, and evangelizes many. He humbled himself, and, becoming teachable, he found the Way of Christ. With a strength imbued by the Holy Spirit, Sam upholds what Christ commands. All of Satan's minions cannot prevail against what God planted. He bears much good fruit. Don't neglect to fast and pray for Sam, as he brings the flock back home. *You* neither know Christ, nor do you comprehend the Holy Bible. If you weren't falsely claiming to be an authority, your upcoming just recompense might have been somewhat mitigated. Your utterly rotten fruit will cause you to be uprooted, and tossed into the fire. "We are not justified by faith alone." Look for the chapter and verse. We (Christ's redeemed kindred) are judged by our good works, or lack thereof. The "works of the law," such as circumcision, and all sacrificial blood rites, are fulfilled and finished. Christ destroyed, "heaven and earth," AKA the temple complex. He brought down from heaven the New Jerusalem, instituting a hierarchy to teach and administer His Covenant. It is in Italy, near where Noah planted his vineyard. He placed His gathered flock at many jerusalems ( sacerdotal fortified cities of peace). His called out ones became the Catholic Ecclesia. This occurred prior to the closing of the Canon. There were so many perversions of the True Faith - as with the crestoi, gnosticism, judaism, hinduism, Islam, and protestantism, which took the dogma of Anti-christ Islam as their own. Prophet Luthifer told his guild synagogue circles (fake churches) not to hinder their invasion, but to give aid and comfort as they murdered the Catholic Ecclesia. They moved into the homes of those who made the high Catholic culture of Europe. Then they stole all the accumulated social care supplies from the parishes, and introduced pauperism.
Excellent refutation. Keep bringing these out as folks will always need the whole Armor of God as we get closer. Keep your ears open for the trump of God.
Amen 🙏🏼 One of my favourite passages: "Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”" Luke 18:9-14 NKJV
JOHN 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
@@freegraceauI am a woman of God saved by God's Amazing grace. Jesus made a full atonement for sin. He is our propitiation (substitute) for our sins. I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ. John 5:24 "Verily verily,I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life"
It's not receiving Jesus, It's believing in Jesus... John 6:40 KJV: And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
This verse is one of my favorites: “What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”” Romans 9:30-33 ESV
Thanks for watching! Show some class in the comments (Colossians 4:6), and pray that Sam will reconsider and repent.
Please stop whining like a testy evangelical old Texan.Jesus that you supposedly follow says Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
And your worried bout class .bless those who call you out on your Hersesy.
No matter how many times you repeat two words out of context in a passage like you're talking to 5 year olds, doesn't change the fact that you're dangerously spreading a false doctrine. Believing on Christ means holding God's law. One cannot just believe in Jesus and then do what they want and then get into Heaven. Anyone with a brain cell and a Bible can figure that out pretty quick.
@@vict0reeyou cannot have Christ in your heart and say you believe yet you do such atrocities, Off course if we believe we accept him as God and the fruit of the holy spirit within us after we accept and believe in Jesus Christ is we follow and obey Jesus Christ and do good things that's the result ...spread the gospel of Full Grace. We are saved by Grace of God alone! his teaching the right true doctrine based on the bible❤
At the end of this video you said "once you are saved you are always saved".
Sam was once a Protestant like you,he once believed in "once saved always saved".
Why would you want him to repent if he is saved?
You said "once known always known".
According to your belief Sam is saved and does not need repenting so why do you want him to repent?
I recently discovered your channel and i really like what i saw in your other video against Sam but when i heard you saying once saved always saved i cannot believe anything you say anymore

Watch out for assuming that merely saying you believe in Christ is enough. It's important to clarify what truly believing in Christ means. A couple of months ago, I asked my dad if he believed in Jesus Christ, and he said yes. But when I pressed further and asked if he believed that Jesus died for his sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day for him, my dad admitted he doesn't believe any of that. So the question is: is he saved? The answer is clearly no. To believe in Jesus Christ means to place your complete trust in His death, burial, and resurrection for your total salvation, with no additions or subtractions. Believing in Christ is about trusting in what He accomplished for you on the cross, which is His death, burial, and resurrection. You gotta explain the word “BELIEVE IN CHRIST” means.
@@StiffShot yes it's more than just believing He existed.
Sam skips right over what the "will of the Father" means. He implies it means "to follow the Law." He doesn't even attempt to prove this claim. He bullies the man he's arguing with so that he doesn't even ask about it. Sam is a smart man, but also a proud man. I pray that his pride will not prevent him from seeing the truth of the gospel.
No.
He, more than once, gives proof. (See John 6:38-40)
He also shows you how Matthew 7:21-23 relates to Matthew 25:31-46
@@harveygosal It relates in the sense that those in Matthew 25 also didn't do the will of the Father. The judgment of the sheep and the goats highlights the collective commendation of believers and the collective condemnation of unbelievers. Due to our standing, believers can only be commended, and unbelievers can only be condemned. Christ says unto the goats, "Depart from me," which parallels perfectly with Matthew 7:21-23. The goats never did the will of the Father, as defined in John 6:40; therefore, they were never saved. That doesn't substantiate your position.
The only reason anybody will enter Heaven, is that they possess Eternal Life.
The only reason anybody will be cast into the Lake of Fire, is that they do NOT possess Eternal Life.
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20: 12-15
"These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God." 1 John 5:13
Believe on the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.. Everlasting/Eternal Life is in HIM. Place your faith on HIM.. God is True.. every other way is a lie, leading unto death. God made simple, plain and clear how Man MUST be saved. Believe His Gospel.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
I think we can agree there are no contradictions in God's word, for God is not a liar. There is no sin in Him.
Therefor we can conclude that if there seems to be a contradiction it's actually our own understanding that is flawed.
Salvation cannot be by works and ill show the verses. They are very clear. The other verses that seem to point to works would contradict so we must know that our understanding is flawed somewhere if we think we see a contradiction.. this is so important.

hes great at destroying muslims in debates and exposing muhammad as a false prophet but when it comes to salvation ofc hes trusting in himself for salvation rather than trusting in christ alone for salvation thats why Jesus says in Matthew 7:22-23 “MANY” will be trusting in themselves for salvation rather than trusting alone in the son for salvation

@@voyager14amen

Exactly
If once saved always saved why can we be blotted out of the book of life because to be taken out of the book of life like the bible teaches us your name has to be there first
1 John 5:4-5
For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
The Book of life is a record of everyone who has ever lived, once we are saved by faith we can never be blotted out. If a person never gets saved, their name will be blotted out.
There is a distinction between the "book of the living" mentioned in the Old Testament and the "Book of Life" referenced in the New Testament.
Book of the Living: In the Old Testament, the "book of the living" is often understood as a metaphorical register of those who are alive on earth. For example, in Psalm 69:28, when David speaks of his enemies being blotted out of the "book of the living," it is a plea for justice and can imply a desire for their physical death or removal from the community of the living. This concept is more about temporal life and judgment.
Book of Life: In the New Testament, the "Book of Life" is associated with eternal life and salvation through Jesus Christ. It contains the names of those who have eternal life because of their faith in Christ. Revelation 3:5 assures believers that their names will never be erased from the Book of Life, emphasizing the security and permanence of their salvation. This book is about eternal destiny and the assurance of being with God forever.
The New Testament focus is on the assurance and security of believers' salvation, highlighting that those who are in Christ are eternally secure and will not be blotted out from the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 20:15).
The dude above me is speaking straight lies. The Bible clearly tells us there are peoples who name have never been in the book of life.

Read John 6:40
The gospel gets better and better the more I hear it. The Word of God is so powerful for assurance, for salvation, for everything. There are so many benefits to reading or hearing the Word. It is spiritual food. Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. And he said that the word sanctifies us in John 17:17. God bless you all.

It takes more than just 'believing' Have you read the parable of the talents in Matthew 25?
The wicked and lazy servant didn't use his talent, he buried it in the earth,
he wasn't doing anything, he wasn't producing any good fruit, no good works, he was "unprofitable"
and what does Jesus do with the unprofitable servant?
"Cast the unprofitable servant into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth"
*Matthew 25:30*
So God doesn’t desire that we obey Him?
The person being cast into this outer darkness is not being punished because he did not accomplish enough for the master. He's not being damned for his disobedience. Rather, his actions prove he's not a true servant at all: he's a pretender. When the master gave him a talent, he blatantly refused to use it, and made derogatory excuses (Matthew 25:24-25). In a sense, the lazy man is not losing his servanthood; he's proving he never really had it in the first place. As a result, he'll be rejected by the master.@@Jason-Austin
James 2:20 “But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seeth thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.”
Deny yourself means you don’t get credit for doing God’s work, that’s called obedience, it means deny your fleshly desires.

And follow him, Jesus healed the sick, he fed people.
“Saved by grace alone, so that no one can brag.” Well anything good about you, or that you do, is his credit. The only thing we can take credit for is our disobedience, that’s called repentance. We can never brag because that’s pride. That doesn’t mean we get a free pass to sit on our butts and do nothing but have faith. “Faith without works is dead.”
We were hired to work in the Lords vineyard, are you just going to stand around and do nothing “The Lord is gracious and did all the work so that no one can brag, I have faith that he will pay me.” Do not deceive yourself folks. Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

To believe in the Son means to obey the Son's commandments. You just can't escape this with semantics

You know.. you can either interpret the Will of the Father, by your own understanding.. or you can disregard your own understanding and take John 6: 40 at face value.
If it is established that God is NOT the author of confusion, does NOT contradict Himself ever.. and CANNOT lie.. interpreting the Will of the Father to be obeying commandments, or DOING anything beyond what is declared as such in John 6: 40 clearly shows UNBELIEF. These people then develop this pride, that they believe God doesn't speak purely.. plainly.. clearly.. that THEY are so wise, that THEY understand what God REALLY means.
The moment someone redefines words such as believe.. faith.. it shows they cannot accept the truth. If I say "The truck is red" and you say you believe, yet think "red" here means "brown".. that says you do not believe, yet lie to yourself and others.
These people are so blind in their unbelief, they actually think God sent His Son to die so that we simply follow statutes. That is Good news to them.. rendering Christ's completed work as vanity and pointless. They might as well call themselves the Circumcision.

Because those who read it don't understand it. To understand it, God has to reveal it to you. The flesh cannot understand the things of the Spirit.

Something I had a revelation on is we can never out sin God's grace. That is truly amazing! I'm not saying abuse God's grace or use God's grace as a license to sin. God forbid! I'm just stating how amazing God is and how awesome his grace is. I love God. 😄
@@MetanoiaAndBelievecould I ask my understanding is when we place our trust and believe in Jesus that he’s the only way to God to be saved then after that its then God’s righteousness that will shape you into wanting to do the things of God and choosing to not want to intentionally and deliberately sin against him because it’s shows a lack of care, concern, love and respect for the lord and that person motives are wrong. So for the ones that had chosen to accept Christ for what he has done for us and the love he has shown us knowing that we are saved solely by his grace which is his great love, mercy, forgiveness he has offered to us that should want you to show him the respect, and love we have for him back. Doing so it’s solely out of love and respect for his great name to want to please him, honor him and to show that love back by choosing to be obedient but not just trying to do it out of duty or by believing that doing so is getting you into heaven or trying to make him favourite you. Am I right? Sorry if I’m not explaining it right

You are pretty close I would only add that no one can take a snap shot in time of a believer living purely by the flesh and say he isn’t saved but we all respond and change according to Gods purposes and does not look the same for everyone. Some take a really long time to show even a little fruit. The truth is if you live under a false gospel of works you will either most likely hide your sins claiming to better than others while continuing to grow in sin because the law brings more sin about not less….that is its purpose than grace actually does this…

I’m so thankful for this video. Almost 3 years ago, I was in such a great place. I was SAVED by the grace of God through the blood of Christ Jesus by the work He did at the Cross. I was in such a great place, worshipping Him daily, walking with Him, spreading the gospel, helping with Sunday School at my local church. I started watching Sam’s videos / debates with Muslims. I married an ex-Muslim, who is now agnostic, so I had a vested interest in learning more about this topic. In one of his videos though, Sam said something to the effect of “to all you Protestants, get back to the ONE TRUE CHURCH asap, because there is no Salvation outside of the Catholic Church”. To say that it felt like someone hit me in the stomach with a sledgehammer is an understatement! I have spent the last 3 years in therapy, undergoing severe depression, constantly reading my Bible up and down, trying to find a loophole that would prove him right (still haven’t found it). I love Sam, and I think he is a very knowledgeable man; however, that one statement that he made almost ruined my life. It put me through hell on earth for the past 3 years, and made me question everything I thought I knew to be true, only because I respected him so much.
What are talking about. I watch his livestreams very consistently and every time he gets asked if protestants are saved he says the same thing.
They are and can be saved, especially if they are trinitarian protestant and truly love the Lord.
I think you misunderstood him when he was being sarcastic. Hes very sarcastic and was probably making fun of people whk think that they are the only ones whk are saved, like Jehovah witnesses for example.
He also is Catholic now. The catholic church says that there is salvation outside of the catholic church.
When the Catholic church says theres no salvation outside of the church, they are talking about the "church" of baptized believers in Christ. They say if youre baptised and truly follow God then you are part of the "Church" which means youre saved.
Get that thought out of your head. Sam says the opposite of what you think he said.

“Why do you call me Lord, Lord and do not what I say.” (Luke 6:46) What does it mean to "believe in the Son". It means to truly believe what he said and taught. That is the will of the Father. What did Christ teach?
Go back and read Matthew 19:16-21. And there it is in the Lord’s very words. Keeping God's commandments and following Him. Are you having a hard time believing in what he said? If so, then you don't believe him and your faith is in vain.
What is the patience of the saints which echo's Matthew 19:16:21 as it is written:
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” (Rev. 14:12)
The teaching of the OT and NT summed up in one simple sentence: “If you love me, you will obey my commandments”. (John 14:15)
A major theological phrase that emerged from the Protestant Revolution five centuries ago was solo fide-“by faith alone.” The Catholic monk Martin Luther strongly opposed certain unbiblical and corrupt teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic church he was part of, particularly the sale of “indulgences” based on the idea that people could, by deeds (works) such as financial payments, gifts or service to the church, lessen their or their loved ones’ punishment in a supposed “purgatory” in the afterlife. He condemned these sales as a deceitful means to filling the coffers of the church and its leaders.
Luther’s goal was well intended - to reform the Catholic Church. Luther’s protests in time spawned the Protestant Reformation-a protest movement that did lead to reform, albeit principally through the rise of many new Protestant churches where previously there had been one major dominant and universal (the meaning of “catholic”) church.
Luther’s catchphrase solo fide, “by faith alone,” summed up his opposition to not only practices such as the sale of indulgences and the notion that people could effectively buy their way into heavenly salvation, but even the idea that any kind of works were required for salvation, including obedience to God’s law. This was the biggest mistake he ever made as obedience to God’s law by faith is the core teaching of the Bible - If you love me, you will obey my commandments” (John 14:15). The entire teaching of the OT and NT summed up by Christ in one simple sentence. The simplicity that is Christ. No bible scholarship needed!
Luther insisted that faith alone was required for salvation-adding “alone” even though this idea appeared nowhere in the Bible (he added to God’s word which is forbidden- yet another grave mistake, Prov. 30:5-6). He read this idea back into the apostle Paul’s writings ignoring what Paul’s words had meant to his original first-century audience. In fact, the book of James explicitly states that “a person is justified [made right with God] by works and NOT BY FAITH ALONE” (James 2:24, CSB)-and for this Luther called it “an epistle of straw” and argued the Book of James should be removed from the Bible! To think Luther actually wanted to remove the word of God as it didn’t line up with his own beliefs, but then again that is typical Catholic theology. He didn’t believe what the half-brother of our Lord said nor did he believe what Christ said either for it is written:
“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to HIS WORK.” (Rev. 22:12)
In battling the wrong idea of earning salvation in one of its worst manifestations, Luther and those who took up his cause landed in the opposite end of the ditch (as Christ foretold if the blind led the blind). Thus, out of the Protestant Reformation emerged the unbiblical idea that grace is the opposite of law and law is the opposite of grace. In reality, the opposite of law isn’t grace but lawlessness-and the opposite of grace isn’t law but disgrace. We must always read the Bible carefully and not jump to conclusions not supported by Scripture!
Misreading “by grace you have been saved through faith”
Where did these misguided views of Luther and other Protestant Reformers come from? In part they come from misunderstanding Ephesians 2:8-9, which reads: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that NOT OF YOURSELVES; it is the GIFT of God, not of WORKS, lest anyone should boast.”
These reformers saw this passage as proof that salvation comes by grace through faith and not by works-thus Luther’s formulation of solo fide, or “faith alone.” But like all failed Bible scholars do, they cherry picked the verse to make it line up with their own belief. They should have continued reading a little further, as Paul explains in the very next verse: “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for GOOD WORKS, which God PREPARED BEFOREHAND that we should WALK IN THEM” (verse 10)-that is, as noted earlier, “to be our WAY of life” (NRSV).
So what “good works” did God create beforehand? Let’s read what this means as it is written in Psalm 111:
“Great are the WORKS of the LORD;
THEY ARE STUDIED by all who delight in them.” (Psa. 111:2). What “works” were studied?
Now go read Psalm 119 all of it. David wrote it as he was recognized in this way as it is written:
“After He had removed him, He raised up David to be their king, concerning whom He also testified and said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, a MAN AFTER MY HEART, WHO WILL DO ALL MY WILL.’ (Acts 13:22)
Oh look! There goes the will of the Father again! That’s right! Christ is the personification of the spiritual law, the 10 Commandments. That is why Christ is called, “the stone that the builders rejected” and "the Way".
If you read the scripture correctly (go back and read it again), we are not saved by our OWN works. Nothing that we can or might do of ourselves, including acts of obedience to God’s law, could ever earn God’s gift of grace (the Holy Spirit, Acts 2:38). It is faith in Christ which means actually believing in what He said.
I personally tried keeping God’s laws without the Holy Spirit and failed miserably! Once God gave me the gift of his Spirit, I fully understood the importance of keeping God’s holy and sacred laws, the very laws by which he will judge humanity and rule his kingdom. One can never do that of themselves, only God can - still can’t see? Christ said the Holy Spirit would convict us of sin. What is sin? Breaking God's laws (1 John 3:4-6).
The laws of the Lord are spiritual (Rom. 7:14). The laws are “HOLY, RIGHT and GOOD” (Rom. 7:12). Only God’s Holy Spirit can understand the very character of God, righteousness; his royal laws (Psa. 119:172), the perfect embodiment of Christ. Our own human nature without the Holy Spirit can’t understand or obey the laws of God - it can’t and it won’t (Rom 8:7). It’s impossible!
So rather than saying good works are unnecessary for a Christian, Paul emphatically states that good works are a necessary part of a Christian’s life! This is what Christ taught: Obedience to God’s laws as he was, get this, a sinless man all the way to his death. We are to live just as Christ did (1 John 2:6) all the way to death or until his glorious and mighty return.
What Paul is telling us here is that “by grace”-by God’s merciful forgiveness of our sins for which we deserved the death penalty (Romans 6:23)-we “have been saved through faith”. Once we have truly repented and have died to sin with Christ on our own cross, we are given the Holy Spirit, his gift, the gift of grace, the Spirit of Christ! Nothing you could do of yourself! What do you think Christ died for anyway? Sin, the breaking of God’s law (1 John 3:4). Again, we are supposed to live just like he did (1 John 2:6). That my friend is the whole point.
“Only he who believes is obedient; only he who is obedient believes.” -Pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer, executed by the Nazis during WWII.
Bottom Line: Salvation is not the reward for obedience. Salvation is the reason for obedience!
The problem with what is called “modern Christianity” is that most don’t believe what Christ said and taught. Sad. Christ said this as it is written: “A kingdom divided will not stand.” So where does this leave 45,000 different factions of Chrisitanity today who can’t agree on doctrine? It leaves them in Matt. 7:21-23.
Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
but not one single person goes and lives a life sin free. Jesus very clearly in scripture puts a magnifying glass on sin and lawbreaking in order to make that point clear.... so.... youre saying we must be sinfree, but much of the bible says otherwise... which is it?
@@thecrayoncop What I’m saying? Hardly! I only speak as the Spirit of God allows. The Spirit gives me the ability to point to the words that lead to life.
The bottom line, we are to STRIVE to be like our Lord and Master. Christ said we must endure until the end of our lives. It’s not a one and done upon conversion like so many believe. It’s a life long process. You are changing into the “new man”. Once saved, always saved, is a doctrine of demons, don’t be deceived by the world’s cheap grace.
The Bible teaches: “The one who sins is the one dies”. (Ezek. 18:20). It also teaches, “The wages of sin is death”. (Rom. 6:23)
Modern Christianity teaches cheap grace, but true grace is given once you have truly repented of sin and then receiving God’s gift, the gift of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). So the question you have to ask yourself is: Do I have the Holy Spirit?
Based on your response, it is clear you don’t. If you did, the Spirit would convict you of sin just like the Lord said and then you wouldn’t continue to sin. The Spirit will convict you to the point where you will continue to change your entire life and see that sin is really sinful so that you don’t continue in it. Believing in what Christ said and taught is faith.
Christ died for the sins of the world. What is sin? Breaking God's laws, the 10 Commandments, the spiritual laws (Rom 7:14) of His kingdom as it is written:
"EVERYONE WHO SINS IS BREAKING GOD’S LAW, for ALL SIN is contrary to the law of God. And you know that Jesus came to take away our sins, and there is no sin in him. Anyone who continues to LIVE in HIM WILL NOT SIN. But anyone who keeps on sinning DOES NOT KNOW HIM OR UNDERSTAND WHO HE IS." (1 John 3:4-6)
And to continuing in the same thought as it is written:
“Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. But WHEN PEOPLE KEEP ON SINNING, it shows that THEY BELONG TO THE DEVIL, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Those who have been BORN into God’s family DO NOT MAKE A PRACTICE OF SINNING, because God’s life is in them. So THEY CAN’T KEEP ON SINNING, because they are children of God.
Here is an example of the world’s cheap grace: The world says: “Just call upon the name of the Lord, it's that simple”. Really?
What did the Lord, Jesus (Yeshua the Messiah) have to say about only calling on his name in his own words? As it is written:
“Not everyone who CALLS out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who ACTUALLY DO THE WILL OF MY FATHER in heaven will enter. On judgment day MANY WILL SAY TO ME, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I WILL REPLY, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU. Get away from me, you who BREAK God’s laws.’ (Matt. 7:21-23).
It is clearly written by the apostle John to support Christ's statement of fact of John 14:15 as it is written:
"And we can be sure that we know him if WE OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. If someone claims, “I know God,” but DOEN'T OBEY God’s commandments, THAT PERSON IS A LIAR and is NOT LIVING IN THE TRUTH. But those WHO OBEY God’s word truly show how completely they love him. That is how we know we are living in him. Those who say they live in God SHOULD LIVE THEIR LIVES AS JESUS DID." (1 John 2:3-6).
"We know we love God’s children if we love God and OBEY his commandments. Loving God MEANS keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome." (1 John 5:2-3).
So the next question becomes: Do you live your life just like Jesus (Yeshua) did? Do you honestly even try in everything you say and do?
Do you know that if you live your life just like Jesus (Yeshua) you will be hated and persecuted for it? Not by just the world, but those the closest to you (wife/kids/family/friends).
Are you enduring and rejoicing in your sufferings? If your answer is no, then you haven’t found the narrow gate. The Lord said this about the narrow gate as it is written:
“Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. But THE GATE TO LIFE is narrow and THE WAY THAT LEADS TO IT IS HARD, and there are FEW PEOPLE WHO FIND IT” (Matt. 7:13-14).
Or are you travelling the wide gate just like the other 45,000 divided religious, man-made denominations created by men in the world today? The Bible teaches that Christ and his kingdom are not divided (1 Cor. 1:10, Matt. 12:25).
Seek the Lord in spirit and truth as God commands (John 4:24). Ask, seek and knock and He will give you the Spirit. Once you do have the Spirit, then he will teach you what is true and you will no longer have to relay on the teachings of failed theologians and their failed human wisdom as the Spirit will teach you everything (1 John 2:27).
And the truth can only do one thing for us: “set you free” (John 8:32)
I will pray that the Lord send you his Spirit.
Repent for the Kingdom of God is coming!
@@lcenteno262 I appreciate your response. My life has changed in incredible ways and sin has been killed. And The Holy Spirit is still convicting me and pushing me toward righteousness daily. Maybe our comments were misconstrued.
@@lcenteno262 but you praying for me, I greatly appreciate! I ONLY want to grow closer in my new faith! I’ve been a Christian a year and a half now!
@@thecrayoncop No worries as misunderstanding happen. Stay in prayer and continually ask the Lord to increase the power of his Spirit. Keep asking and seeking in all humility as we live in some really evil times.

When god says "eternal life" does he mean we will have eternal life in heaven
”For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”“
John 6:40 NASB1995
Believing in Jesus means following his laws, instructions, etc.
Please don't think the narrow road to heaven is made for "Christians" who simply have believed he is the son of God and died for our sins.
You must follow him, and have faith in Jesus that following him is the only way.
No more habitual sin, no more hate, no more idolizing, no more worldliness. This will produce good fruit and is very difficult because love is sacrificea and painful at times.
You will know them by their fruit, we are in the last days.
But how is that grace? I’m not saying don’t repent, we should buy out of love for THE GODHEAD like Jesus said “ if you love me keep my commandments.” The scripture makes it clear that you are saved by grace through faith not of any works. And if your trusting in your works alongside delivering in Jesus for salvation, then your adding a partner to Him, which in reality is not believing in him and not trusting in Him
@averythompkins3682 This is my understanding, and it is critical for salvation.
Our works are like dirty rags, and they are not acceptable for the Lord.
This is why God gave us Jesus so his Beatitudes, Gospel, apostolic instructions will show us what Good works are, he is the gift of God.
We then start to obey his commandments, pray, worship, deny the world, and in return God gives us Grace and HIS works. We then are given grace and the Holy Spirit that works through our clay bodies doing not our works (for we don't boast) but the workmanship of the Lord. We are no longer under the Law in Jesus, because we walk in the Spirit so the old Law is no longer needed.
All glory to God.
The grace is that God has giving us the ability for redemption that by believing in Christ than the belief will lead to doing the will of the father as we must die to self and allow God to work through us. It's not our works that come from our belief but imus submitting ourselves to the Lord and him doing the work through us.
God bless you
Sam, you need to balance the scripture on salvation by faith; if not, many will be led astray.
To believe in the Son of God Jesus Christ is doing the will of God. John 6:29. Acts 16:30-31. Dear Sam, active obedience is an activity powered by faith, which comes from the heart. Only those that hear, and see the glory in the person of Christ are made alive to bear good fruits. You don't expect a dead man to do anything, but once he is made alive by the Holy Spirit, he will be inspired to live right.
Eph:2:10. Those who obtained the power to do the work of God are first made alive in Christ.
We are not under the law but under the grace. Which means we are made alive to live right.
The false prophets came around the 1600's and multiplied to over 40,000 different cults, and all have the original church on their sights as their main enemy. But the gates of hell will never prevail against my church Jesus promised, praise be our Lord Jesus!!!
You guys worship your denomination 🙏🏻(not all but so many), nd calling protestant heretic while Protestants also love the sane God buy you guys call them heretics!

John 6:40 (ESV)
40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 is talking about mosaic works. James 2:24 says explicitly that we are not saved by faith alone. Literally in those words.
th-cam.com/video/OR5zOs9tgUw/w-d-xo.html
James 2:24 does not argue against salvation by faith alone. Rather, it argues against a salvation that is alone, a salvation devoid of good works and obedience to God’s Word. James’s point is that we demonstrate our faith by what we do (James 2:18). Regardless of the absence of the precise phrase “faith alone,” the New Testament definitely teaches that salvation is the product of God’s grace in response to our faith. “Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? . . . On that of faith” (Romans 3:27). There is no other requirement.
@@jjmcgee5902"a person is justified by works and not by faith alone" "faith apart from works is useless" "faith apart from work is dead"
how can anyone read these verses and thinks he was not argue against "faith alone"? no interpretation can change the meaning of those verses
@@freethinker810
For Paul, "justification by works" (which he rejects) means "gaining right standing with God by the merit of works." For James, "justification by works" (which he accepts) means "maintaining a right standing with God by faith along with the necessary evidence of faith, namely, the works of love."
When Paul teaches in Romans 4:5 that we are justified by faith alone, he means that the only thing that unites us to Christ for righteousness is dependence on Christ. When James says in James 2:24 that we are not justified by faith alone he means that the faith which justifies does not remain alone. These two positions are not contradictory. Faith alone unites us to Christ for righteousness, and the faith that unites us to Christ for righteousness does not remain alone. It bears the fruit of love. It must do so or it is dead, demon, useless faith and does not justify.
The glory of Christ in the gospel is not merely that we are justified when we depend entirely on Christ, but also that depending entirely on Christ is the power that makes us new, loving people. Depending entirely on Christ is how we are justified and how we are sanctified.
John 6:40 (CSB)
“For this is the will of my Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him will have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.
I think Protestants read the Scriptures like a buffet. They read what they want and say this proves the point. You referenced John 6:40, yet John 6:35 He says "I am the bread of life" then in John 6:51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I give is MY flesh for the life of the world. Wait so is John 6:40 the truth or is Jesus suddenly lying in John 6:51. What about Jesus lying in John 6:53 Jesus said to them. "AMEN, AMEN I say to use, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 56 "whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. ... but wait you said John 6:40 proves Sola Fida. Sola Fida is picking and choosing what the you (the individual not saying specifically to you the person, you meaning anyone) want and then rejecting what you don't want. Jesus doesn't work that way. I/You/everyone must accept ALL of Jesus. He is not a buffet. You (again, anyone) don't get to decided what parts of Jesus you can accept and what parts you can reject. Jesus says in John 13:34 "I give you a new commandment : love one another. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another. This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. 1 John 3:11 For this is the message you have heard from the beginning; we should love, 1 John 3:19-22. Sola Fida is all we need, but wait that is what Jesus said in John 3:5 -6, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. For Sola Fide, it doesn't just say born of spirit. It says WATER AND SPIRIT. Sola Fide, Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. Jesus doesn't say believe and nothing else. He uses the word AND. Are we saved by God's GRACE, 100%, there is no disagreement. BUT, how do we receive that grace. Thru FAITH. again, 100%. That is what Ephesians 2:6-9... I don't get to choose Ephesians 2:6-9 or Romans 10:8-13 and disregard John 6, Mark 16:16, Matthew 7. They all have to fit together. You (again, anyone reading) accept ALL, you get a serving of everything! Sola Fide can NOT get around John 3:5-6 the AND. Mark 16:16 the word AND... Sola Fide is a a man made lie. It is NOT what Jesus taught. It is NOT what the Apostles taught. James, "Faith without Works is DEAD" you get a serving of that at the buffet. You (again, anyone reading this) needs to accept that. Why, did Martin Luther want to get rid of the book of James? He did not want the sheep to have any of that served up. To anyone who responses, you can quote any passage you want, but you are just proving my point of the buffet Jesus. God/Jesus/the Holy Spirit do NOT contradict themselves. So any passage you cite, as if it contradicts and trumps this passage; it doesn't work that way!
Later in Galatians, chapter 5 tells us that the sinful nature leads to death and won’t inherit the kingdom of god. Ones saved always saved? The scripture warns us we could lose our salvation because of sin.

Thanks for always making the true gospel so clear.
In biblical context, what does it mean to “believe?”
An individual who professes belief; “by their fruits, ye shall know them.”
In biblical context what does it mean to have “faith?”
An individual who professes faith; “by their fruits, ye shall know them.”
Fruit is not a reference to what is professed. A profession is a declaration. Fruit is what is produced not what is professed. The fruit that is produced can be seen. It is evident. Anyone can declare/profess anything. No one can completely hide what they produce. Ultimately it is evident.
Thanks
Amen.
Prayers coming your way and God bless
If faith alone is a lie, so Jesus Christ lied to us when that time of the crucification...the man on his right side he will be saved by faith alone and go with him on his kingdom. Jesus Christ my Lord, my God and my Savior is not a liar. So faith alone is genuine.
What's ur view on baptism
If the theif on the cross some how could survive the event. He would live the rest of his life doing works. Thats why he is saved.
The important thing to learn about the theif on the cross is that if someone truly accepts God right before their death. God doesnt need to see the works He knows it would have happened if they lived longer.
Blappa makes the point exactly, it’s an exception

This is a clickbait video . Sam Shamoun did destroy the protestant faith alone doctrine by quoting the bible verse . But the content creator/vlogger tried to twist Sam's argument to inject that believing in Jesus Christ is the same as obeying The Son . The truth is believing in Christ requires the faithful to obey His commandments so that one is justified as a true believer not like the hypocrites who say something but does another thing . I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten you minds .

Wrong none of your works save you…we work from our salvation not in order to obtain it….but perform that which is good according to Gods purposes and plans! No one will stand justified before God in their works only those who trust Christ and his finished work on the cross.
IF we continue to walk in sin instead of repenting and turning away from our wicked and ways, THEN we are condemned because if we walk by the flesh we are not walking according to the covenant through Jesus blood and instead re-crucifying him to the cross! We are not works based but we were not saved through Jesus to live a life of sin scott free. It is by faith through grace that WE DO the will of the Father and trust in the Lord Jesus.
Yeshua Said if you love me Keep my Commandments ... Paul the Apostle talks of the LAW OF CHRIST ...of Course we are saved by Grace ... One full trust has to be on CHRIST FINSHED WORK ON THE CROSS AT CALVARY 📖 *AMEN Come Yeshua Ha-MaShiach* 📖

This is a classic example of a straw man argument.

This is my interpretation of "I NEVER KNEW YOU" i like to know your opinions of those who read my comment.
"I'm wondering if following the father's will means believing in Jesus, whom he sent. Wouldn't believing in Jesus mean obeying his teachings? The Pharisees and others didn't believe in Jesus as the Messiah, so they rejected his teachings. To me, believing in Jesus means following his teachings, which emphasize loving others and trusting in his sacrifice for forgiveness."
In my view, to avoid hearing "I never knew you," we need to understand how God knows us, as mentioned in 1 Corinthians 8:3 (KJV): "But if any man love God, the same is known of him." This verse suggests that loving God leads to being known by Him. Loving God, as explained in 1 John 5:3 (KJV), involves keeping His commandments: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." Additionally, in John 13:34 (KJV), Jesus gives a new commandment to love one another as He has loved us. Therefore, in my view, to be recognized by God, we must love Him by obeying His commandments and love others as Jesus loved us.
Saved through faith by grace amen
"What do you say about: John 6,28-29 : Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." it is so crystal clear that only faith saves
It is God’s will to believe on the one whom he sent. Jesus Christ faith alone in Christ alone in the shed blood of Jesus, the finish redemptive work on the cross. No matter what this guy says that’s all you have to believe!
@ you’re ignorant! First of all repentance means to change your mind to go from not believing to be leaving. Water baptism is not a requirement for your salvation. Baptism is a spiritual baptism meaning you are born again in the spirit! Hit the scriptures! Study to show they self approved unto God.
It’s crazy how many unsaved uses that verse and have no idea they’re condemning themselves
@4000jes probably the one in Matthew that says to be saved you have to do the will of the father.
The reason it condemns them is because they are using that to try to say that faith alone isn't what saves. But if you read what Jesus said in john "the will of he who sent me, is that whoever seeth the son, and believeth on him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day"
So according to Jesus, the will of the father is that you should believe on the son so that you will have eternal life.
Which idk about you, but that sounds pretty much like faith alone as the requirement, and that's straight from the lords mouth.
The discord he runs is literally moderated by Catholics upon Catholics. I got banned for basically questioning that me being catholic means I’m going to hell
I’ve been hurt so bad by Calvinism and irresistible grace. I constantly believe a lie that Jesus hated me before I was born.
God's will is to believe on the One He sent. Obedience is the fruit of the recreated human spirit. God says He will write His law on our hearts. We have the duty and priviledge of renewing our minds according to His Word. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit neither can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Whe can get the will of the Father straight from the Father in Matthew 17:5, where he says this is my son listen to him. So obedience to the Son is the will of good. What is Jesus commandment. Love God with all your heart and love you, neighbors.
Faith with works in love and obedience to Jesus.
I know one thing. The will of the Father isnt "just believe on my son and do what you want and youre still getting into heaven". Obviously the people shouting "Lord Lord!" Believed in him. How is this not obvious to anyone with half a brain?
Thank you for your videos. You clarify so much for me. May God continue to richly bless you.
This is a clickbait video . Sam Shamoun did destroy the protestant faith alone doctrine by quoting the bible verse . But the content creator/vlogger tried to twist Sam's argument to inject that believing in Jesus Christ is the same as obeying The Son . The truth is believing in Christ requires the faithful to obey His commandments so that one is justified as a true believer not like the hypocrites who say something but does another thing . I pray that the Holy Spirit enlighten you minds .
They need to understand that the reason why he said depart from me ye workers of iniquity is because they were never saved and still in their sins.
It's clear in many passages that those who were once believers fell away from the faith. You must abide in Christ. OSAS isn't biblical.
Brilliantly articulated, thankyou.... Sad that Sam can have so much knowledge and keep missing the CHARACTER of God, more importantly the Holiness of God.... Christ also says go and sin no more, an order we all fail, but it remains an order that MUST be given. It's helps us realise the Christen way of life is IMPOSSIBLE without a direct relationship with God. Thrrough Him all things are possible. Thankyou again for the video
😂 Quoting Ephisians 2:8-9 to falsely imply "Faith alone" while purposefully and very conveniently not reading verse 10 right after that which says "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do."
@@SpyFlame That literally does nothing for your position. th-cam.com/video/7Cfq_lJVRI0/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Niiiiiiiice One! Good Stuff, Brother!!!!
Amen brother.
For me Sam is clear : By only faith you can cast out demons, perform many miracles,... But by faith following works he was talking about loving your neighbour, clothing the nudes visiting the sicks and prisoners, taking care of orphans and vow,etc. Mathew 25: 36. God blessing 🙌
Yes Gods will is to
Believe on Him who He sent!
“and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Acts 16:30 KJV
Sam, your obedience glorifies Christ. What a blessed testimony.
He preaches works based salvation. Not sure if he's saved anymore.
@Trivdgun- Did you even watch the video? It's not lip service it's the truth. You cannot obey your way into heaven. You are a vile sinner and sin everyday in thought deed and action. The only way is to place all of it on Christ. That's it. You will fail.
@@CaptainPantys He is not. He is a false teacher preaching a false Gospel.
@Romans-hu3uy It really sucks man. I liked him, we're pretty similar. I suppose we need to pray for him.
@@CaptainPantysYou're bearing false witness against a devout Christian who serves Christ well, and evangelizes many.
He humbled himself, and, becoming teachable, he found the Way of Christ.
With a strength imbued by the Holy Spirit, Sam upholds what Christ commands. All of Satan's minions cannot prevail against what God planted. He bears much good fruit. Don't neglect to fast and pray for Sam, as he brings the flock back home.
*You* neither know Christ, nor do you comprehend the Holy Bible. If you weren't falsely claiming to be an authority, your upcoming just recompense might have been somewhat mitigated. Your utterly rotten fruit will cause you to be uprooted, and tossed into the fire.
"We are not justified by faith alone." Look for the chapter and verse. We (Christ's redeemed kindred) are judged by our good works, or lack thereof.
The "works of the law," such as circumcision, and all sacrificial blood rites, are fulfilled and finished. Christ destroyed, "heaven and earth," AKA the temple complex. He brought down from heaven the New Jerusalem, instituting a hierarchy to teach and administer His Covenant. It is in Italy, near where Noah planted his vineyard.
He placed His gathered flock at many jerusalems ( sacerdotal fortified cities of peace). His called out ones became the Catholic Ecclesia. This occurred prior to the closing of the Canon.
There were so many perversions of the True Faith - as with the crestoi, gnosticism, judaism, hinduism, Islam, and protestantism, which took the dogma of Anti-christ Islam as their own. Prophet Luthifer told his guild synagogue circles (fake churches) not to hinder their invasion, but to give aid and comfort as they murdered the Catholic Ecclesia. They moved into the homes of those who made the high Catholic culture of Europe. Then they stole all the accumulated social care supplies from the parishes, and introduced pauperism.
Excellent refutation. Keep bringing these out as folks will always need the whole Armor of God as we get closer. Keep your ears open for the trump of God.
This video made me feel happy 👍 Thank u Lord Jesus 🙏
Amen 🙏🏼 One of my favourite passages:
"Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:
“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”"
Luke 18:9-14 NKJV
Faith without works is dead: that kills Sola Fide by itself.

How much added works needed? 1%, 20% 50% 99% what is enough? You will remain a sinner anyway.
The account of the thief on the cross would definitely debunk works based salvation
Question : The thief on the cross had no chance to be baptized , or to do good works. Yet Christ said TODAY you will be with in paradise
JOHN 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
Doing Gods will is receiving Jesus as your Lord & Saviour
Got scripture for that big guy?
@@freegraceau Titus 3:5 " Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but by His mercy He saved us"
@@freegraceauI am a woman of God saved by God's Amazing grace. Jesus made a full atonement for sin. He is our propitiation (substitute) for our sins. I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ. John 5:24 "Verily verily,I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life"
It's not receiving Jesus, It's believing in Jesus...
John 6:40 KJV:
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Sola Fide is heretical
This verse is one of my favorites: “What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.””
Romans 9:30-33 ESV
