24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.Alan--I don't find the first thing in your reply about how any of your material addresses the fact Walter Martin was of the faith alone theology. Nothing. Walter Martin believed just what faith alone adherents believe--one is saved by God's grace through a faith without works:what do I find?.....
I find... that rather than answering a question, some people run away, try to change the topic, bring up other concerns desperately , and do ANYTHING they can to put the hounds off the scent.
I find... that the fact that Walter Martin clearly states his views does not matter to some people that need him to be thought of in a way that must agree with what they "want".
I find... that I am not surprised by this in the least.
But in the end,
I find that Walter Martin's wealth of wisdom, his wealth of teachings, his wealth of insightful recordings, and his wealth of ministry is a true treasure for us all to draw upon.
For he is and his Lord are the real reason any, and , ALL of us are here.
I also find,
I find it interesting that you would post at the end of your comment this - "James 2:24---New American Standard Bible (NASB)
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone" when at the end of the recording we hear Walter Martin talk about the two different types of "justification"
We learn that there is not just a justification by faith alone but also that there is a justification by works as well.
I have went over this same matter in my posts many, many times.
I have shown over and over that there are two different types of justification talked about in the Bible.
Both types are correct and both types are true.....yet both are different and are aimed at different ideas.
The recording of Walter martin deals with this whole topic in a lot better way that I could here, yet here I have answered this issue as best as I think it needed.
Please refer to the recording where Walter talks about the justification by works as compared to the justification by faith , if you have any more questions...
James 2:26---King James Version (KJV)
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
