Penny - you're not the only one thinking that, quite a few of my "tuned in" friends, (Christian, political and those that are both), are saying/thinking the same thing!
Veterans Day, I was sitting at the mall in the food court. I noticed three or four young, uniformed men. They were standing in the middle of the food court. Some people would walk up to them and shake their hand; others would speak to them for a few minutes.
I noticed one young man walk over to a table and extend his hand to an elderly man and woman. The elderly man shook his head no and did not extend his hand. The woman shook her head no also. The young soldier walked away.
How could someone refuse an outstretched hand? What if you differ with someone else's view, can you still honor the other person? Can you esteem the person without rejection? Or will you be filled with animosity and contumacious against love? Will you disdain the outstretched hand?
As I sat and watched, I saw one young, uniformed soldier walk over to a table and take the cup of someone seated and take it to Chic-Fil-A and have it refilled. He walked it back to the table and gave it to the seated man.
As I thought on this, I remembered the elderly man shaking his head no to the outstetched hand. Was the soldier extending his hand to the elderly man asking him did he want his cup refilled? Or was the young soldier extending his hand to the elderly man in acquaintance? I cannot tell for sure.
Many times we can judge what we see with our eye without seeing perfectly clear.
Faith alone your Soul cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. Eph. 2:8&9 , you cannot read the word Soul that through faith, this Soul can enter into heaven. Obeying the Ten Commandments or the Law of Moses also cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. To enter into the kingdom of Heaven is to obey/follow the Commandments of Jesus Christ or His words equal Salvation of our Soul.
You are saved by grace..NOT by the law...it is impossible for us to fulfill the law becdause of our sinful nature. That's why Jesus said even to think evil we have committed that sin already. The law was only our schoolmaster to bring us to grace. No one can fulfill the law...only Christ did fulfill the law..see Ephesians 2:8 and 9.
"It is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." Rom. 2:13 The small narrow gate into God's kingdom is actually law that has been added to the law by Jesus' crucifixion. Salvation from the penalty of sin is predicated upon the faith to obey this added law. The gospel of God explains the Way to obey this law, but no contemporary church's gospel is the gospel of God. That is why only a few find the gate.
The time of his coming is so close I see this scripture beung fullfilled daily I see those that use to be on fire for God slip away and go thru motions they are crying Lord Lord and living the life of a sinner though their sins are'nt big sins it is still sin will keep them from the face of God.
Matthew 7:21.Many cry,Lord,Lord today.Satan as a angel of light cries Lord,Lord.His false minsters also cry Lord,Lord.Satan beceives millions of souls today by crying Lord,Lord,from some pulpit.Thats why Jesus said not every one that cries Lord,Lord.Now give me ten % of your wages.Satan and his minsters are very cunning,but Christ no those who are his.
Indeed God is true to all his scripture as it is writtren in 2Timothy 3:16-17 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. To GOD be all the glory and honor!
Yes, there is no contradiction in the bible, so, reconcile these two verses Eph. 2:8 & 9, faith w/o works to James 2:17, faith w/o works is dead. Speaking the life of Timothy the desciple of Apostle Paul,he has already benefitted this kind of faith in Eph. 2: 8&9. About his faith to the Lord Jesus Christ no one can surpass. But in, ITim. 4:16, Timothy is working for his own Salvation. " The question is " What kind of Salvation did Timothy worked ?.
in verse 21 the faith in Jesus Christ is not enough to enter into heaven basing this verse. To enter into heaven is dual faith in Jesus Christ & faith to his word to work This verse 21 is contradicting in Ephesian 2 :8 & 9 faith alone you are saved. In Eph. 2:8&9 you will never read that your Soul be saved through faith but we can read our Soul be saved through to our own/individual work basing the words of Jesus Christ. Prophesied in Exeq. 14:14, 14:20, & in Exeq. 18:27 a living person is commanded to repent all his wrong doings. This verse, dead person is not able to do this. So, saving the Soul through the works of other persons is also cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. In the new testament there are verses that we can read to save our own Soul is a great works through his words. Ref. verses : Acts 2:40, Col. 2:12, I Tim. 4:16 & James 1:21 & 22.
love this chapter soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
Action speaks louder than words, if one is of the lord Jesus, Jesus will do works of obedience through them for God and their salvation; not works of men for men.

Jesus said, "Judge not..." ( Matthew 7:1)
We all should be careful in our judgment.
who do you think Jesus will say this to?
Acts Chap 22 V6-9
Acts Chap 26 V12-15
if u read and analyze what is said, you will find something interesting
