>works are required to be saved how can you possibly justify

>>1583989

By saying James>Paul the Imposter.

Justify theologically or philosophically? Because salvation by works definitely makes more sense than salvation by faith alone and you can take the current state of christian societies for proof of that.

Paul never said works as in helping the poor wasn't required, he just said works of the law, like circumcision and eating kosher. He makes it clear several times this is what he means by "works".

uguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~

St. Paul is cute. CUTE! ~~

Salvation by works doesn't make any sense whatsoever since it takes agency and sovereignty away from God. It's downright blasphemous.

You are saved "by faith" either. You are saved BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH. Big difference.

Metanoia implying aligning oneself, body and soul, to God.
But, just to be clear, pelagianism is heresy.

>Its ok that I'm a prick who leeches off others and hates his fellow man because I believe in Jesus!

Nah fuck off

>>1584237
read romans again you heretic. it specifically says several times that grace through faith is the only way to salvation

>faith is a requirement to be saved
>if your faith doesn't produce concrete action, then you don't really have faith at all, you're just pretending.

>>1584237
>I have no idea what sola fide means

>>1584260
All correct.

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
1 Corinthians 13:13

Love is more important than faith.

You're misinterpreting Romans, Luther added "alone" to Romans 3:28 in his "translation" even though that's not what it meant at all

Matthew 7:24-27- “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock… And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.”

More important maybe, but not for salvation.
