Works Salvationists Condemn Themselves
 |
| Caught by their own false doctrine! |
Here's reality- works salvationists condemn themselves! Why? Well first and foremost, it must be realized what they preach is totally flawed and out of context with the Bible. Now it's time to show the flaws of the whole plan and how it does not work in a rather simplistic manner:
Note: Again, this blog ministry not here to debate but to show the flaws of the works salvation system. Works salvation preachers need no exposing, they expose themselves when their doctrine is debunked!
First- Here's one thing about works salvation that must be understood- it's not realistic, not practical plus NOBODY can ever reach God's standard of keeping the whole Law (James 2:10-11). God demands perfection and man cannot reach it. Why? Romans 3:10-19 declares man's fallen state and that ALL are guilty before God. There is nobody righteous by their own selves. If Christians are declared righteous, it's only by God's grace (Romans 4:5).
If it were true, no poor man can enter Heaven. Why? The poor can be so poor could they really donate to charity? Or also, many of the poor are so weak they couldn't stand up and help another, they need to be helped. Many of the poor can also resolve to stealing thus they've already broken the Law as much as every rich person around. Also, let's face it- Lazarus was SO WEAK he could only sit at the gate, waiting for a few crumbs and can a man so weak really stand up and try to work his way to Heaven? Nope. Also, what about the thief on the cross? He was nailed to the cross and he was helpless. He could do nothing more than be there, rebuke the other thief and but only humble himself before Jesus to be saved.
Second- They cannot keep their whole doctrine. Let's face it- it's entirely arrogant and illogical (in this case, using the logical fallacy of false dilemma) to say that nobody can show them one verse in the Bible that directly says that you can fall into sin and still remain saved plus it goes to the fallacy of false dichotomy. A good illustration can be for example that a person can do all the good works in church he can but then, he can slip off because of some sexy lady that passed by thus making him an adulterer therefore he becomes a lawbreaker. If God were to actually keep casting out His children by faith through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ whenever they fall down rather than keep them but chastising them, that would still be works salvation. Okay God does not condone sin but He doesn't condone salvation by works either. Why? God wants man to do good works only because they're saved not to be saved or to stay saved. If He wanted man to work their way to Heaven, He would have not sent His Son to die for sins (Galatians 2:21).
Again James 2:10-11 is clear that nobody can keep the whole Law. Also, 1 John 2:18 says that if we say we have no sin, then the truth is not in us meaning that NOBODY can really cease to sin which is different from living a life of sin. Hebrews 12:5-6 says that God chastises the Christian who falls down. Jesus said in John 6:37 that whoever comes to Him He will not cast out which if He would cast them out whenever they sin, He would be liar. Also please kindly notice Matthew 7:23 when Jesus says, "I NEVER KNEW YOU!" to the unsaved. That means they were not saved to start with! Never means never. For Jesus to say "I never knew you" to those who are His, again would make Him a liar.
Third and last but not the least- Many works salvation preachers are into a relativistic moral system and double standard. Romans 10:3-4 condemns man's attempt to establish their own righteousness. Romans 11:6 is clear that if salvation is by works then it cannot be of grace and if of grace, it cannot be of works. Despite their claim to say that the Bible has many verses that justify their faulty doctrine, it does not. Actually, everybody deserves to go to Hell anyway because every sin whether big or small has put the whole world guilty before God (Romans 3:10-23). Many of these works salvation preachers fall short of what they teach. Some of them are even homosexuals as a result of rejecting God (Romans 1:25-27). It's crazy how a works salvation preacher once condoned homosexuality while condemning sin. Or another, many of them display an abrasive, arrogant attitude that shows how boastful they really are (1 Timothy 6:3-5)! While they claim that it's arrogance to boast of one's salvation's surety and security as said in 1 John 5:13 that YOU CAN BE SURE of your salvation, by claiming that they made it to Heaven by enduring to the end or that works are necessary to be saved or to stay saved, they are showing just how arrogant they are rather than the eternally secure Christian who though good works may flourish and 100% WILL ENDURE to the very end who says, "Only by God's grace I made it." What a contrast. Christians will only do good works as the inevitable result of being saved (Ephesians 2:8-10) vs. the works salvation who does good works but is nothing more than a fruit thief.
Some can go as far as to even twist around salvation by faith alone verses like Ephesians 2:8-9 (by saying verse 10 requires good works to be saved when it DOES NOT, rather it shows the consequence of salvation) and Romans 4:5 with faulty terminologies. Actually works with Christ DO NOT SAVE as much as works without Christ although the difference is, works with Christ happen only because a person is saved and it's only by God's grace like Philippians 2:13 says that it is Christ that works in the Christian. Then anybody of them can mention about confusing sins such as sins unto death and sins not unto death to the same category of Catholicism's mortal and venial sins- then again ANY SIN no matter how big or how small will always merit to breaking the whole Law (James 2:10-11).
