Salvation is By Faith Alone!

I was motivated to write this article based on the incessant contentions that I had with a heretic named OCCatholic, on YouTube. He believes that you are born again by faith and works, which is not biblical. The word of the LORD makes it clear that you are saved by faith alone.

Read all of these Bible verses for details:

Romans 3:28-30; 4:1-5; 5:1; 5:15-16; 5:18; 9:30; 10:4; 11:6

Galatians 2:16; 2:21; 3:5-6; 3:24

Ephesians 2:8-9

Philippians 3:9

Now, the word of God tells us how we should deal with freethinkers:

"But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes" (2 Timothy 2:23).

OCCatholic claimed to be a born again Catholic, but I honestly believe he has never been born again. If he has been, he is very ignorant of the Bible.

Whenever you encounter heretics, obey what the word of God says on how to handle them:

"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself" (Titus 3:9-11).

The Bible indicates the character of someone who enters into contention:

"Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom" (Proverbs 13:10).
  
"A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes" (Proverbs 18:6).


I could have saved a lot of time, if I had read those Bible verses beforehand. I talked to him, and argued with him out of love; however, it is unprofitable and vain if the iconoclast is too lost in their delusions.

Folks, there will be times when you will encounter dissenters; that is why it is so important to know your Bible! (2 Timothy 2:15) Try to guide the nonconformists in the right direction, but if they are hostile, or unappreciative, move on!

If God Exists, Why Doesn't He Speak For Himself, Audibly?

"He did speak audibly to Israel when He gave them the Ten Commandments, and the Bible says that Israel was so fearful at what they saw and heard, they pleaded that He no longer speak to them (see Exod. 20:18,19; Heb. 12:19).

When He spoke on the Mount of Transfiguration, He terrified the disciples (see Matt. 17:5,6). When He once spoke audibly to Jesus, the people thought that they heard thunder (see John 12:28,29). So why didn’t God just whisper on these occasions? Perhaps He did.

However, God (in His infinite wisdom) has chosen what the Bible calls “the foolishness of the mes- sage preached” to bring the gospel to humanity (see 1 Cor. 1:21). He has condescended to use lowly man to deliver the message of everlasting life to dying humanity.

When it comes to God speaking to us, it is important to make sure that we don’t exaggerate our im- portance. We are but very tiny specks on a tiny speck of a planet, moving through the massive infinitude of space. If you want a special audience with the President, he likely will not come running to speak es- pecially to you when, how, and where you want. Only a person with delusions of grandeur indeed would expect such treatment.

How much more so with the Creator of the universe? You are not going to get a special audience with God. So humble yourself, repent of your sins, and trust the Savior, then seek God through prayer and reading of His Word. Prayer is you speaking to God, and the Bible is God speaking to you. Make sure you listen carefully to what He says. Your eternity depends on it."

Hebrews 12:25 "See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven..."

I posted this for my brethren in Him, for the conceited, for the self-righteous, for the scoffers, and for the wicked. This is to show why the LORD Jehovah does not talk from the sky, as he did in the Bible.


This is important to know because some skeptics say, "You believe in an imaginary friend." However, the word of the LORD makes it very clear: God exists! You have eyewitness testimony, Scripture, and archaeological evidence supporting the resurrection of Jesus Christ.


My question to you is, "Will you draw nigh unto God? Will you repent and believe in the gospel? Will you humble yourself, and put God first?"


Time is ticking.
