I agree with your post, well said. Sciptures tells us that faith without works is dead. No point in having all the faith in the world if we don't put our faith to work. That is what Jesus did and he sent his disciples out to do the same and charges all his children to do so.

Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: GC1</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Maybe the translations of the Bible are accurate, but people fail to put the Scriptures in the proper context.
For example: The Scripture is plain that justification is by faith alone, yet James tells us that works are important. Does this mean that we are also saved by works? Not at all. What he is saying is that the works that flow from the Spirit dwelling in a believer is evidence of the believers salvation. One can merely say "I believe in Jesus". Yet we are told that even the Demons believe, and of course they do since Jesus is their Creator. Yet they don't have saving faith, from which good works flows. So just saying you believe in Jesus doesn't cut it.
But some get confused and take James to mean that salvation is by works also, and there can be a apparent contradiction between Paul and James. The Scriptures have no contradiction whatsoever when placed in the proper comtext. </div></div>
That is good, you are right. Just have some on here that attempt to question anything, and try to twist the word.
