When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

Yes...

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8,9 (KJB)

I believe scripture makes it clear that it is by faith, and for those who are truly born-again, they WILL have the works as a result of their faith. Works are a by product of your faith. The works show your faith. Keeping the commandments is done by having faith because man isn't able to keep the whole law. Mankind already failed at that.

Here's the thing though. Those "good works", being a result of your faith, those works will come without you thinking about it. Your faith moves you to act in a way that results in good works through loving God and neighbor. There is no measuring stick on works. One cannot say some works are sufficient while others are not. God decides what is good works, not us. This is why it says that those who have a lot have nothing over, and those who have little have no lack.

See, we are not to judge a person's salvation. God does that. So, that means we shouldn't judge if a person's works are acceptable. But those works will not get you into heaven. The works of the unbelieving are irrelevant. God doesn't see those, the same as He doesn't hear their prayers either, unless it's a sincere prayer of repentance. So only the "good works" of believers are seen by God.

You must have faith, with all your heart, to be saved. Once you are saved, being born-again with the Holy Ghost, THEN the good works will follow.

Commandments? Yes, Jesus says, "if you love me, keep my commandments". Well, we know that man cannot keep the commandments, so how is that possible? What did Jesus tell the lawyer about how to be saved?

25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
28 And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
Luke 10:25-28 (KJB)
