I'm a doer. I don't know if it's of the word or not, but I do a lot.
Chill out peoples! Let's just have an adult discussion and keep things on track!

Be a doer of the Word, I'd rather do my best even though I've messed up some, than to throw it all out the door.
These shifty characters Jesus spoke to in Matt 23 also thought they were doers of the word :)

Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary

Young) Matthew 23:1 Then Jesus spake to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 saying "on the seat of Moses sat down the scribes and the Pharisees;
3 all then as much as they may say to you to observe, observe and do, but according to their works do not, for they say, and do not;
4 "For they are binding burdens, weighty/barea <926> and ill-bearing. And they are placing upon the shoulders of the men, to the yet finger of them, not are willing to move them".

Acts 20:29 "For I have-perceived this. That shall be entering after the departure of me, wolves, weighty/bareiV <926> into ye,
no sparing of-the shepherded/flock/poimniou <4168>"
[Matt 23:4/Philip 3:2]

I view it about the same as this richman in this covenantle parable of Luke 16 :)

Lazarus and the Rich Man - Here a little, there a little - Commentary

Luke 16:19 Yet a certain Man was rich and in-slipped/enedidusketo <1737> (5710) purple and fine linen making-merry down to a-day, shiningly

24 And he sounding said "Father Abraham! be thou merciful to-me! and send Lazarus! that he should be dipping the tip of the finger of him of water and should be cooling down the tongue of me
that I am being anguished in the flame this."
[Matthew 3:9/Acts 7:30-38]

God wants ALL our hearts and obedience. The rich young ruler was willing to follow God in the commandments, but he wasnt able to follow through with the things that really mattered to him - his wealth.

We have to give Him whatever He wants of us, including the things we don't want to let go of.

Then lay aside the law also known as performance of the flesh and fully trust God for the gift you can't earn or maintain by the law.

Lets be reasonable here, you have a valid point, some may think they can get into heaven with works alone, but James said faith without works is dead. He said some say they have faith and some say they have works, but James said he will show his faith by his works. Some people think We can have faith without works and some think they can have works without faith, but it seems to be true that faith without works is not faith at all.

Thanks, lloj!
Yer welcome
I would like to eventually consolidate each Chapter w/o verse #s, as I did with John Chapts 14-17 [which are my favorite chapts in the Bible btw] and it just seems to flow so much better IMHO
.
Takes a lot of time tho, since punctuation isn't in the greek texts, so I normally look at about a half a dozen bible translations to help out.

Here is a sample if you or others are interested :wave:

If i need to mock people all day and teach people that its love just so i can feel welcome, then i don't want to feel welcome.

I'm the one that talked about feeling welcome, so I have to ask, are you describing your impression of me when you mention mocking people all day? I am curious, and that seems to be what you are saying, but I don't want to jump to any conclusions. Personally, I thought you and I were cool. Is that not true?
