It's Through Faith in Jesus that you will live. If you truly believed in Jesus you wouldn't be as Satan. Satan believes but Satan doesn't FOLLOW JESUS. Humble yourself and REPENT for your actions that you have done against him. Love him KEEP his Word..

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.

26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

27 And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

Jesus came speaking for his Father. Shouldn't you be speaking for Jesus and NOT CHRISTIAN RELIGION?

Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.

21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

It's your Soul. Do you really believe being a Christian will Save you?

Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen

24Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me. 25If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?l Is anything worth more than your soul? 27For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds. 28And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom."

"For by grace you have been saved through faith.

THROUGH FAITH YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE.

And this is not your own doing;

YOU HAVEN'T GOT THE GRACE TO CAUSE IT. ONLY GOD DOES

it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast

GOD GIVES HIS GRACE FREELY TO THOSE THAT KEEP THE FAITH IN JESUS. YOU CAN'T PAY FOR IT. WITH FAITH IN JESUS YOU ARE FAITHFUL TO HIM AND ONLY HIM. YOU WILL NOT FALL FOR THE TEMPTATIONS OF SATAN . SATAN CAN'T MAKE YOU SIN. YOU SIN BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT SAVED BY THE GRACE THAT COMES THROUGH FAITH. YOU TRYING TO BE SAVED BY YOUR MAKE BELIEVE GRACE. GOT TO BE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND TO JESUS'. GOD GUVES HIS PEOPLE A WAY TO LIVE LIFE. NO RELIGION IN IT.

And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God

The Great Commission(K)
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain (L)which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some (M)doubted.

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, (N)"All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 (O)Go [c]therefore and (P)make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 (Q)teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am (R)with you always, even to the end of the age." [d]Amen.

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Your reading comprehension fails, too Mikey. Through faith, yes�but by grace. You are saved by grace. And I know I've pointed it out before but the next clause about the gift of God is inclusive of the whole previous clause-my faith, even, is the gift of God and not of myself. You have such a man-centered belief system and a small god. I pity you.

It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God

So where is your Faith? Is it in Paul or Jesus? You can twist Paul teaching all you want but it THROUGH FAITH a person gets the Grace to keep them Saved.

Jesus said Go and Sin no more.

Faith is required...however, because of the sinful nature inherited from Adam, I cannot exercise that faith apart from the grace of God. I'm always really confused by you. You seem to have adopted full blown Pelagiansm and reject the idea that the will is in bondage to sin apart from God. Is that your position?

Let. Has Satan obtained Grace? No neither will those who volunteerly go against the teaching of Jesus. Faith is required to obtain God Favor to keep a person from sinning

Mikey, you failed to address my point to you. You say the word "faith" repeatedly, but in the words of The Princess Bride, "You keep saying that word, but I don't think you know what it means." Salvation is by "Grace Alone through Faith Alone in Christ Alone." You say faith, but you link it to performance on man's part to procure the completion of his own salvation. You are aligned with Rome against the gospel as it is presented in scripture. For all your accusations that corporate worship on the first day of the week makes you "Catholic," you do not see that your beliefs are more closely aligned with the core teachings of Rome than anyone you attack.

Try as you might you cannot quote a Bible Passage that says "Follow the Ten Commandments."

Those words are not in the Bible
------

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

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

8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

50 And I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak...

-----

I know too!!!

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I KNOW THAT HIS COMMANDMENT IS LIFE EVERLASTING: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Bitter you can't be a sinner and follow Jesus..

The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is [g]good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eye is [h]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and [i]mammon.

I don't think any of you guys know what sin is. That is why the religious right loves Trump so much. Trump has committed almost every sin in the book but in their mind, he is God's chosen and therefore, can't sin. Why is that? Because they want a King. They want an authoritarian government with themselves making the rules and laws. Everything about Jesus is against this type of government. They want to dictate what God wants from us. Jesus never said a thing about h*mosexuals, transgender's, interracial marriages or abortions. Jesus said to love one another. That is all.
