TNDL: “WORKS VS FAITH ACCOUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, ACCORDING TO JAMES AND PAUL!

That is a very significant and provocative question. This particular one is a two thousand years old one, because of James, the brother of Yeshua, the Leader of the Jerusalem body of Christ VS Paul, the messenger to the Gentiles (The Nations) had a disagreement about "WORKS OR ‘FAITH’ OKEY, SO WHAT DID YESHUA THE CHRIST HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION? Between these men of the Church of Christ, who is right, who is wrong or do they both have a point? Is justification by faith, as Paul claims, or by works, as James seems to say? This problem actually has a very simple solution. ... For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about; but not before God. ... (Jesus said in Matthew 5:22 that if you're merely... This is what Yeshua said about good works, as opposed to now works. Mathew 51-14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.


15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.


16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Also, verses For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.


21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill, and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:


22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.


23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; FAITH, AND WORKS, with regards to righteous, The best example we have in obedience to what the Most High commands, is Abraham, why, because from God appeared to him in the land of Ur of the Chardians, he was obedient to his god, he did what he was ordered to do. This was the works of action, and not empty words.There were other occasions, when his God even asked him to sacrificed his only son, he was about to slay the Lad, god stop him, and in all cases, Abraham obeyed. These various action of obedience demonstrated faith and trust in the part of Abraham in his God. read geneses 22.


Genesis 22 New King James Version (NKJV)


Abraham’s Faith Confirmed


22 Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”


And he said, “Here I am.”


2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”


3 So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the [a]lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.”


6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together. 7 But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!”


And he said, “Here I am, my son.”


Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the [b]lamb for a burnt offering?”


8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.


9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.


11 But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”


So he said, “Here I am.”


12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”


13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, [c]The-Lord-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”


15 Then the Angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the Lord, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba THESE ACTS OF ABRAHAM OBEYING THE CALLED OF GOD, AND THE SACRIFICE OF HIS ONLY SON, PROVES THAT WORKS IN THIS MATERIAL AND SPIRITUAL WORLD, ARE BEST GOD COMMAND HIS SERVANTS TO DO THE HARDEST THING FOR A HUMAN TO DO AND THEY DO IT IN WILLINGNESS AND OBEDIENCE. In the book of revelation 20, The Great White Throne Judgment.


11Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. 13The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.


“THE TWO MEN OF GOD, JAMES THE BROTHER OF OUR LORD, AND PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE GENTILES, SHARED DIFFERENT VIEWS WITH REGARD TO WORKS, AND FAITH WHICH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUS, UNTO SALVATION. HOWEVER, WE FORGET THE CAUSE OF YESHUA, THE CHRIST'S COMING INTO OUR WORLD, WAS AGAPE (LOVE) John 3:16., AND YESHUA OBEDIENCE TO GOD HIS ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER, EVEN TO HIS DEATH ON THE CROSS. HERE YESHUA DEMONSTRATED ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE WHICH IS COUNTED FOR THE MOST HIGH’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, WORKS, AND FAITH WHICH MADE HIM THE RIGHTEOUS BRANCH. ISAIAH 42. BOTH ABRAHAM AND YESHUA, KNEW THEIR GOD PERSONALLY THROUGH THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES THAT THEY HAD WITH THEIR GOD. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY WERE OBEDIENT TO GOD'S COMMANDS. THE QUESTION OF WORKS VS FAITH, WILL be best answered By Christ when he returns and is judging his saints, according to revelation 20, verses 12-13.” “TNDL)
