If this be true then why are the glaciers and such mealting faster these days ?

I pray that you and Big Moose have not gone to far by blaspheming the Holy Spirit .
If James should not be part of the scriptures ,then you will agree that 2 Timothy 3:16 is wrong .
The people who agree with you ,do not believe that the scriptures are the INSPIRED words of God .
Many people do not rightly divide God's word but to say that the Holy Spirit made a mistake in allowing scriptures that are wrong is blasphemy.
Do you truly believe that we can NOT be made unrighteous by our performance .
If you believe that all past ,present and future sins have been forgiven ,then you do not see any reason to repent for anything you do after you are saved .
HE talks to me also every day. You just need to know how to listen
I would then like to hear, so that I may learn, how each of you reconcile Paul stating Abraham was justified by faith lest he would be able to boast about his works and how good he was that he performed them, as opposed to James stating Abraham was justified by works because faith by itself isn't enough.
Yes, if we could be made righteous by pour behaviour, then Jesus needn't have come and spilled His life's blood for us. Get the message of the GOSPEL now before it is too late. We cannot be made unrighteous, either as God declares us His righteous children by our faith in Jesus Christ.
I can't do anything to make me righteous---it was all Jesus' work, and I can't do anything to make myself unrighteous---because I am a child of God, a citizen of heaven and forgiven and made holy by the blood of Jesus.
When one comes to faith in Jesus Christ, one will repent. When we sin then, we confess our sins, and we should be thanking God for that forgiveness we have continually.
1 John 1:9
If we [freely] admit that we have sinned and confess our sins, He is faithful and just (true to His own nature and promises) and will forgive our sins [dismiss our lawlessness] and [continuously] cleanse us from all unrighteousness [everything not in conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action].
Some glaciers have retreated, others are growing. This has always been the case.
HE talks to me also every day. You just need to know how to listen
I thank God for His teaching me how to listen.
Abraham was justified by his works that came out of his faith, as there was no other measure for justification. God saw his righteous heart and loved him and favored him greatly.
It greatly disturbs me that people who do not understand God's word would think they are so very open to His voice of truth that they would so easily turn on God by declaring His word imperfect. Be careful you do not revere your intellect too highly. The word of God is not to be discerned through mere intellect. It is a heart issue you are dealing with. Be receptive in your spirit to God's word and if you see something that doesn't jibe with your fleshly sensibilities, be humble before God and ask Him what He wants to teach you. Then be available to Him to learn. He cannot teach a closed heart that judges Him as a liar.

Oh the joy of hearing our heavenly Father's whisper, and feeling his guiding hand.
I am so sad that so many seem to despise such talk as if we are being heretical.
I see thanks. I have heard about the retreating but never about the growing. Thanks FD for this iffo. ; )

Don't take my word for it Jim, start searching the "global warming fraud" and similar words. The whole thing is deliberate to enable the governments to gain more control of people's lives, and advance towards world government. I was going to post some search suggestions, but have decided to start a new thread if you are interested.

Why would you repent of sins if you can not be made unrighteous .
What?
Jesus' blood makes me clean and I am made righteous by the faith I have in Him. I don't make myself righteous!
If you do not repent, then your sins will remain on you and you will not experience salvation, and you will not be declared righteous.
Your statement says that we can do nothing but wait for God to save us .
If God chooses who will be saved then there is nothing the lost can do .
No my comment says NOTHING of the kind! Read it again, for you are reading a lie into it. BUT: you cannot save yourself, can you?
You posted that all of your sins have been forgiven ,past, present and future ,and that there is nothing that you can do to make you unrighteous .
Please explain how both statements are not contradictory .
Because I have repented of my sins, they are all taken care of, punished on the cross, and so I am now declared righteous in God's sight. I cannot be made unrighteous, even though I may sin occasionally, because all my sins are forgiven! But when I sin, I confess it to God and thank Him for His great grace, and for my complete salvation in Jesus Christ, and for His complete forgiveness, and that He has wiped my slate clean.
I reread your post .
If you can't make yourself righteous or make yourself unrighteous then God decides for you .
God makes you righteous or unrighteous .
I agree that it is only by the Grace of God that we will be saved but God has required us to do His will .
Not just by faith and not by works but by obeying His will.
