Faith without works is not the faith of Jesus

There really is no arguing with the gospel of faith without works, because it's not the gospel of Jesus' faith.

To argue with faith without works is as fruitless as arguing with the faith of Mohammed or Buddha.

The preachers and teachers of faith without works, all agree that it is impossible to do righteousness at all times and walk as Jesus walked.

It's the faith argument of unbelief.

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

The faith of Jesus is particularly that faith from the heart that believes unto righteousness. We believe by Jesus' faith that not only can we walk as He walked on earth, but we ought to.

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

It's impossible to have the faith of Jesus without works, because it's impossible to keep His faith without His commandments.

Once we learn what Paul is saying in Romans 10, then we understand that arguing against faith without works is arguing against the faith of another gospel. It's pointless to try and reason with another faith of man than that of Jesus.

It's the same as trying to argue with the faith of devil's, who also believe there is one true God, and even acknowledge Jesus as Son of the Highest, but they certainly don't believe in doing righteousness like Him.
 
The gospel of faith without works is the error of claiming to be something without doing it.

With the gospel of God, including all sensible people, we must be doing something to be it.

People can hear of fishing, but only those fishing are being fishermen.

The faith alone doctrine claims the right to be called fishermen by imputed desire to fish alone. They call themselves fishers without fishing. They now want to be fishermen by imputed desire, but aren't, and yet they try to talk like fishermen.

Fishermen know the difference. Likewise, doers of the word know when they hear hearers and talkers only.

The gospel of faith by hearing only, only sounds like the gospel of the cross, without obeying it.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

The gospel of God must be obeyed. The gospel of man is without obedience.

It's not good enough with God just to talk like the righteous, we must be righteous by doing it.

Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

They say great things, that try to sound good, without doing any good.

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies;
 
Saying that faith alone without works is the faith of Jesus, accuses Jesus of ever not doing the will of His Father, as though He were like the sinners of faith alone without works.

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

This accusation against Jesus is not surprising, since the faith alone gospel dies not believe it is possible to do as Jesus and always please the Father.

If we are not walking as He walked to ever please our Father, then we do not have the faith that Jesus gives freely, but our own faith of our own mind and making.

If we have not recieved the faith of Jesus that obeys God at all times, then we have not recieved Jesus with power to become sons of God and brethren to the Son of God.

Walking as Jesus walked, obeying God at all times, with power.

But men are lovers of their own selves now, coveting, boasting, proud, blasphemers, unthankful, unholy, no natural affection, truce breakers, ( covenant breakers, full of debate. Romans 1;29-31.)

False accusers, fierce, despise those that are good, traitors, highminded, lovers of pleasures, having a form of godliness.



2 Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.



Not only the debate, strife, contention, dispute on the forum reveals they only love to do only that, also they resist the truth, in folly, and the doctrine that is true is heard immediately in Apostle Paul, his long suffering, charity, patience in persecutions, afflictions, which he endured and was delivered by the Lord, and all who live godly in Jesus Christ shall suffer persecutions.



2 Timothy 3:8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as their's also was.
10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience,
11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.
12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

The simple truth is that the unrighteous want to be saved by faith alone without doing righteousness.

They're declaration of it being impossible to be like Jesus daily, only confirms their faith is not the faith of Jesus that believes from the heart unto His righteousness.

The do claim faith in Christ, but are unbelievers in doing His righteousness. They literally teach a Christian life of how to say Lord, Lord, by faith alone, but do not what He says.
