To: DNA.2012; bibletruth
That is horrible advice and equally horrible theology.

DNC.2012, I notice you don't point to any scripture for your assertions, and you can't because there are none. Your attempt to legalistically focus on each word instead of the obvious intent say a lot.

Anyone who knows anything about the Bible knows that bibletruth was saying that no one has to "perform any good work" to be saved - we can't be perfect and we can never be good enough, so Christ came, out of love for us, to save the world from that condition. Once we accept Christ, we are to do many things - not to earn, deserve or keep our salvation, but because we are saved.

Too bad you missed the whole point and had to be so devisive - unless, of course, you are not on our side, in which case, it's too bad you don't know Christ.

To: jda
JKA, I responded to exactly what was written:

You need not perform any good work - nothing!

That is horrible advice and equally horrible theology.

Telling people that good works don't matter has horrible consequences, and effectively hollows out all of the substance from any professed good beliefs.
