Papal bull. :D

Nope. Salvation by works is not taught in Scripture. It's directly opposite of what is taught in scripture, and therefore is a lie. It is false; it is incorrect. The argument that we are saved by works has already been proven to be a lie by the entire New Testament.

This is also not true. Works of any kind do not save, lest any man should boast. This is heresy, and a corruption of the gospel.

That is a lie, because Scripture clearly says : For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. (Eph 2:8)

You're not putting those verses in their proper context. The issue at hand in Hebrews were Jews who were going back to OT sacrifices all over again. Read verses 26 through 39. Better yet, read the whole book again. Same with 1 John. Paul and John do NOT state that we don't sin...

One can make a case for Calvinism and Arminianism in the scriptures. This is one of the mysteries of the Bible. Hank Hannegraf once said that the two views are liked two parallel lines going off in the distance, but never meeting.

Read 1 John 2:1-2 2 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. He's...
