Titus 3:3-9 KJV [3] For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. [4] But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. [8] This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. [9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. … |

epic Dunno why this sermon has the most views, it's certainly epic, but so are many many more of his teachings. It doesn't get any better than this folks, I like many here have looked far and wide and that's how we found the Hogg man! |

Frank wrote: We have Abraham’s faith and his works being noted. James is comparing what Abraham did and what Rahab did to saving or genuine faith. He is clearly saying that if our faith does not produce works when it is called upon to do so, then that faith is dead and is not saving faith. But if we look at this a little closer it becomes clear that he is not saying that works produces faith, but simply that works demonstrates that we have faith. Remember I am not saying that saving faith won’t produce works. What I am maintaining is that the works cannot produce faith, but simply documents that our faith indeed gave us a new heart that desires to serve Christ. Notice how he says “show me your faith” and then says his faith will be shown by works. The issue he is bringing up is clearly not works, but what constitutes saving faith. We could easily in different jargon say something like, “if you love me, then you will do such and such”. This is not the same as saying “if you do such and such, then you love me”. My personal desire is to live a holy and blameless life in this lost and fallen world! See Pilgrim, you have had a positive effect on me. Fine. Works do not produce faith. Right. They go together. Synonymous. Yep. |

Frank wrote: He is all yours Pilgrim. It would appear that he doesn't believe that we are completely and finally justified by our Substitute. Christ is my righteousness and His righteousness was imputed to me. Sounds a little like the holiness movement or another works based salvation theology? But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? (James 2:20) Yea, a man say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works (James 2:18).You prove my point. Holiness? Works? These seem like unclean words to you. Like the Pharisees you think you are justified in your sins. You are going to find out the hard way that this is not the case. Abraham's faith was imputed to him as righteousness, because he produced the fruit required, which is righteousness, obedience, holiness etc. The false gospel negates this. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition (Matt 15:6). |

John UK wrote: Hey, fellow Pilgrim. I'm not so sure. After all, the Bible says that "all have sinned" and "the whole world is guilty before God", so I can only imagine Lee thinks a baby remains sinless for a very short time before it sins and is guilty, needing a Saviour. If that is the case, the gospel for those of age cannot be any different because of a different view of original sin, because the facts speak for themselves. It is only a sinner who needs the gospel. What sayest thou, Lee? What is thy gospel for sinners? Because all sinned. The fact is Augustine developed his ideas from gnostic teaching and the Manichean cult to which he was affiliated, and a faulty translation of the Bible (Jerome). At Romans 5:12, Jerome's translation reads "In whom all sinned", not "because all sinned." A sinner needs the real gospel, not a counterfeit. The real gospel purges you of your sins, not merely covers them. The false gospel leaves you in yours sins, the real gospel brings you out of yours sins. Simple as that. |

Frank wrote: Hey Pilgrim! I think Lee finally clarified his earlier comment when he said we don't inherit a sin nature. Clearly anyone who professes this, will have a different gospel than you and I regardless of how he tries to spin it. Absolutely right. Your gospel and mine is different. Yours is the gospel according to Augustine. Augustine's gospel was not the gospel of the early Church and is certainly not the gospel of the Bible, regardless how you spin it. The religious establishment think they have it right, as ever, just like the Pharisees of old. |

Michael Hranek wrote: Lee Interesting but are you really sure about this? In sin my mother conceived me, is kind of born out in the reality parents know babies are born with a sinful nature and we don't have to teach our children to sin, to act selfishly, to be unthankful, to lie, to steal (like from another child), to disobey their parents, etc., do we. I am sure there is a whole lot more to this area of discussion but for now OOS Psalm 51 does not prove Original Sin. The language is figurative. Will David really be purged with hyssop, will his bones really rejoice? In any case his mother is the subject of the clause. His mother was the sinner, not David himself unborn. Not all Children act selfishly, some are as meek as a lamb. You are describing simply variations in human temperament. This is not an inherited sin nature. |

I've been confined to a wheelchair since 1978 and had a stroke in 2008. Unable to attend services in a church. Thank God for Cleveland Baptist Church. Its like what I grew up win in C. Their ministry has reached a 60 year old guy in NJ. |
