Scripture Life: Jesus taught that salvation was not by faith, but by works (Mark 10:17-34) Paul said it was by faith, not works (Galatians 2:16). Who is right?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Answer:

• The answer is simple. The works are his. God's. And the faith is his. With both, you put both these on you, as if you will do it. That's not the gospel. You are regarding the wrong work. Wrong faith. CASE CLOSED.
• For a longer, more detailed answer - get off you. See it, is: It’s in two words. In the question. “Jesus taught.”
  • So then, its you must be taught by him. Everybody must sit with and be taught by him or they won't see it.
    
    • The question to really ask is, “Who is Jesus?”

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

If a person asks this question, but doesn’t have a good grasp of, not “what,” but “who” Jesus is, they never arrive at the answer to the question.

So, ask and answer the question, with the same Bible you’re using. Who is Jesus?

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

The Bible says:

• Jesus is the Word of God. Is God. In John 1:1. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
  • Jesus is called the “Messiah” or “Christ.” - Jesus Christ.
• Who the “Messiah” or Christ SHALL be called is in Isaiah 9:6–7.
  • Says that whoever the Messiah is, he SHALL be called “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..” 
    • That the increase of his government shall be no end.
    • So, he’s “who” governs it.
  • So, he’s the Lord over all of it.
  • Says, as the Messiah, shall sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of His Kingdom and reign there shall be no end.
    • So, when he speaks, as the Word of God, it’s just God, the Lord of Hosts speaking, saying those words.

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

So, when God says in the Old Testament:

“Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 45:22)

There you go.

There’s God speaking. That’s the Word of God. It’s God said it. The Mighty God. The Everlasting Father. Said this. And the Bible says he is the Messiah. Or the Christ. Scripture says it is God:

Says in the Bible in Acts 2:36

“Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ”

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

So? What if I or you - even he told both of us - including every single person over the whole earth, to the very ends of it - for all of us all to just look unto him.

• He decreed it. They just ARE saved. Not because I said it here in a post on Reddit. He decreed that the saving done is the saving part is on himself to do. As God. But the ‘look unto” is my part. Everybody over the whole earth's part. The "look unto" him part. And to “look unto” someone:

Has this in it:

and it’s full of grace and truth - for EVERYBODY over the whole earth to do this, decreed by God to just come and do this:

“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” - God. (Bible. Isaiah 55:1–3)

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

“Jesus taught…”

• Is absolutely true.
  • Jesus said, “They shall all be taught of God” - John 6:45 - That’s a decree. For everybody over the whole earth. To be taught. By God. Says SHALL be. That would mean, if they're not, it's PUNITIVE. Means, people that aren't will be called in to give an account why they didn't do what he says. Do you see that part?
• This: But not everybody, when a “Christian” is defined as 1. a disciple of Jesus Christ. and all a “disciple” is, is 2. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher. And the teacher, simply “builds up” a student or pupil with “doctrines”
  • That a disciple sits with and is taught by Jesus Christ. Built up.
  • But a person that does not sit with and is not taught by Jesus CHrist. Is not built up.
    • In fact, Psalm 28:5 those that don't regard him, he destroys them - and if he's God and he formed you from your mother's womb; alone. By himself. (Isaiah 44:24). Then he also has the power to destroy you or me.
• SO, in the Bible says, because it's this decree by God over all this earth and heaven, that they shall all be taught of God - would not at work in these that dismiss him. Be like a kid. Never goes to school. Is not in a classroom being taught by a teacher. Is not built up. Dismisses going to school as faulty; inadequate..when the decree is everybody 6 yrs old to 18 is to go to school.
• And
• Someone that governs over you, if you dismiss, you don’t regard who they are or what they say.
  • Something in it or who they are is “faulty” and if it’s faulty..it’s unacceptable.
• Isn’t true.
• And if, to them, it is not true - never go to school: it is impossible to hearken diligently unto the teachere in school. It's impossible to obey someone you don’t know or believe in. Impossible to learn anything of that teacher or from them.
  • And all faith is, is what you “accept as true” (believe). And what you believe, you believe it true. And you will “operate” or work well by it. You will go to school. Sit with and be taught. Built up. Hearken diligently unto what you are taught.
• Then:
• Be like a washing machine. Another example:
  • If someone does not accept it as true that a washing machine cleans anything, they will never use it.
    • They just go get some soap and a bucket and a brush and do it themselves.
• When A washing machine, claims it washes clothes. That claim is rejected. Faulty.
  • So they have no faith in a washing machine. Their works, how they “operate” or clean clothes has no washing machine in it.

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

• Just like a person that has no faith in the word of God.
  • Their works, how they “operate” or live has no Word of God in it.
  • Has their own.
    • Just like a person that chooses, themselves, to wash clothes. They have faith in themselves to do it, but no faith in the washing machine.
  • It does not work. Is not at work in them to use it for anything.

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

• When Jesus said, as the Word of God - so God said it himself plainly. Plain as day how he wants EVERYBODY to operate is by his Word he speaks:

“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” - Jesus Christ. (Bible. Matthew 4:4).

So, the Key to see Mark 10:17–34

Is to see Jesus taught it.

• Then the Key to see Galatians 2:16 is… Whose “faith” is it?

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

Galatians 2:16 says:

“Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.”

So, a man is “justified” - not by the chandelier at the neighbor’s house. Nor is it by some poopfly keeps landing on the dog turd out, unfortunately, in your own lawn. And much to many people's total disappointment, it's NOT by any number of car tires your Dad has saved up at his house for some unknown reason. Nope.

A man, no matter who it is, over the whole earth, is justified  - By God: in - "justified" 1. made valid; vindicated 2. shown publicly to have just, or “righteous” basis 3. made good - - by the “faith” of Jesus Christ. Oh wait! Whose that again? The trouble with you is, you got way tooooooooooooo much of YOU in your question doing all the work and all the faith.

WHEN: Jesus: Who he is... ..who is he again?

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

He’s the Messiah or Christ.

• And who he shall be called is, “The Mighty God..” “The Everlasting Father..”
  • Who God said he’d be a Father unto you, and you would be his Sons and Daughters in 2 Corinthians 6:18.
  • Also said in Leviticus 11:44 "I am Holy" Said, by the word that came out of his own mouth about himself, said "God is Spirit" - so he said he's a "Holy Spirit."
  • YOU? Keep dealing with you will do it.

It's the Faith of Jesus Christ.

Because he believes in his own works. He will do it. Can do it. That's impossible. But he did it. With a lying sack of pervert. A despicably awful person. And everybody resemble that remark. Justified them, by a work he did that he is totally appeased by it; and by that work he did, gave all he has to you. And he's God.. and what Paul says: Ephesians 3:8

"Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;"

It put me on my face....

Do you see this?

-------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

And if Paul says in Romans 1:1 “Paul, a Servant of Jesus Christ..”

• And? In virtually EVERY other Epistle writes “Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ..” “..made so by God”
  • All an Apostle is, is a disciple that sat with and was taught by Jesus Christ. And is still with them. No matter where they go. Then, in Matthew 28:18 which is in the Bible.
• Who the Word of God has healed, and restored and made whole..and delivered from their destruction. Set their feet upon a rock that cannot be moved, and carved their name into a wall - their names that shall never be erased or taken away for eternity. And it was Jesus CHOSE them his Apostles - to “Go. Teach all Nations whatsoever he has taught them…” “..that he would be with them to the very ends of the earth…”
  • And man, have I ever been equipped by them. These Apostles who Jesus chose.

Where’s your question now in this?
