No I never said that. To boil it down... You must show your faith through your works to be saved. They are both needed.
Quote: (Originally Posted by aussiecreeder) anyhow we're not getting anywhere........i'm not disputing faith without works is dead. what i am disputing is that works save because they clearly do not. i thought it was a relatively simple concept......
Works alone do not save and I never said that they did. What I said was that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-26). Faith cannot survive without works, and your works show your faith. One without the other is good but not good enough.
