Works are not necessary for our salvation. But they are necessary for your sanctification. Sanctification being the process of acting on your faith in order to grow your faith and draw closer to Him.

Knowing that our salvation does not come from works makes works that much more beautiful. Because otherwise they would be selfish acts as was initially pointed.

One can have faith in Christ and believe that his words and actions were true and real, but can still choose to do the opposite.

That will always be true (at times) because not a single one of us is perfect. Proof that works are not what save us and thank God (literally) for that!

But Galatians says that God will not be mocked and that works are important to keeping your salvation.

I feel that Galatians Chapters 3-6 sums this entire discussion up very well. "Faith working through love" They are very entertwined and some may think we are having a "chicken and the egg" argument. But I think these are important distinctions.

Why do corporations after they get large enough, decide that they need to get political.

That verse is often used because it so strongly makes the point. I also did not say works are unnecessary. Works are important part of sharing and walking with Christ. But it is not our works that grant us our SALVATION. AND Christ and the apostles make that extremely clear. And it seems like you agree?? below:

This is why Christians typically do not practice circumcision, burnt offerings, the scapegoat ritual, etc. All of those were a facsimile for the Messiah and are now obsolete as Christ has already been born, performed his mortal ministry, suffered in the garden, and was crucified.

We no longer performing these (sacrifices, aka these works) because the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ is what reconciled us to God.

Christ didn't say the old testament was out of date,he said the old laws have been fulfilled by him. Christ being the ultimate sacrifice for sin through his death on the cross. Again solidifying the fact that we receive our salvation through Christ (not our sacrifices or our good deeds).

Ad hominem and you are dodging the real issue here which is that you are acting like a slimy little cultural marxist.

I don't like commies who try to divide ppl based on sex and race. All lives matter. Men AND women make a strong unit.

Bet those statements triggers you. You're an extremist.You are becoming what you hate. You might as well become a radical blm feminist. A radical wlm meninist is cut from the same cloth. You're weak.

For example, the increase in single motherhood and destruction of family values is basically what has created the failure of our society now.

Shouldn't that be blamed on men for not marrying the woman they knock up or for up and leaving their families? The blame game goes both ways which is why it's a retarded game to play.

You disgust me. Get this radical meninist shit out of here it's equally as poisonous as the radical feminist shit.

Nah marriage is way more dynamic than that. Yes you are roommates, but you are also business partners, best friends, lovers, family. Attraction is great and needed but it's NOT THE SOLE DETERMINING FACTOR for marriage. That's why I don't feel pity for idiots who marry lazy bimbos shallower than the kiddy pool just because she's HOT.

And marriage gives security to the child bearing sex not just in money. It gives a protector as well as a provider. It allows the woman to actually raise the kid instead of working 24/7. Call me traditional but if you care about your own kids and want to give them a chance at life get married. Kids who have a mom and dad / stable home life are far better adjusted and far more successful than those without.

How about eliminate the federal loan program. Schools will have to lower costs to get students back AND will leave to slash their diversity departments. Win-Win.
