Two good sledge hammers against Arian heresy

Witnessing against traditional Arian heresy as well as its Jehovah's witness counterpart. Jesus's nature has been disputed since ancient times. The Trinity was voted into Orthodoxy at the Council of Nicene in 325 AD. Known as the "Arian controversy", the debate over Christ's divinity still...

No, Prodigal is right, you don't need to believe Jesus was God incarnate to be saved. On the other hand, I think Arian and JW heresy are both pathetic and end up promoting Polytheism(Arians) or get so tangled up in their contradictions that nobody can untangle them (JWs)

Re: Best book for x-jw

I found a best book for asking question to JW. I this is a best book and every one must read this. It will give you some questions and reasoning by which you can fight with JW. And I know no JW have the answer of that question. The book is by Don Cameron — Captives of a Concept You can download it ...

They're only human like you, which is probably why you've been insulting people out here. I don't insult people unless they deserve it. And Jesus made fun of the pharisees. What exactly is your point? Look at what you said earlier. I have and I fail to see your point. Calvin also supported republic...

Sorry, I don't have time to read through all this stuff right now but I would like something from August: Where does the bible distinguish between ceremonial, moral and civil law? Why is it that when Jesus or anybody else is talking about simply "the law", you can assume it is only talking...

nce.org/viewtopic.php?t=59&start=0 This "Gospel/Law" thread has transformed into a "Faith/Works" thread. [/quote] And it is the answer to the original question. If faith is what saves then knowing or keeping the law is useless. My point is that if we are saved we have no nee...

Salvation is not something that happens in an instant, and then you continue to be the same person you were before. I agree with you somewhat in that the actual instant of salvation is not brought about by works, but by grace. However, the story does not stop there. Once we have come to faith, we h...

Oh, and what this has to do with the argument is that I think I've forgotten betrayed one of the main reason why I'm a Christian. As such, my stance regarding the OT and the NT is a bit different. I will still defend my stance on the death penalty though.

But since you asked: James 2:14-26 (KJV) "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? [15] If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, [16] And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; no...

Eph 2 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 because of works, lest any man should boast. Tell me, do works have any part in our salvation? Once again, you stop reading too early: Ephes. 2:8-10 (KJV) For by grace are ye sav...

I just realised I'm going about this the wrong way. August, are we saved by Faith or the Works of the Law?
Probably neither, we are saved through the grace of God.
How is the grace obtained?
