Are we saved by faith alone, or do we need works, too?

[Tirong-say]

THEN WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A TRUE AND A FALSE DOCTRINE:

FAITH AND A LIFE OF HOLINESS (Roman Catholic position)

or the faulty Protestant position that asserts:

FAITH ONLY AND TO SIN BOLDLY, since they proclaim that sins will not affect their salvation at all as long as they have faith in God. According to them, they can "kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day" but will still be saved as long as they have a stronger faith in God.


Martin Luther vs the BIble:

Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger.
No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day.

But the Bible contradicts this protestant (aka self proclaimed bible-believers) ideals.

Romans: For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

St. James: “For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead.”


To simplify my point further:

LOVE GOD FIRST AND ACT ACCORDINGLY.

Their stance is somewhat contradictory and abusive
I think they do believe that Jesus Christ will come back again
on the end of days and judgements will still be made.

“But take heed to yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a snare; for it will come upon all who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. But watch at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of man.” (Lk 21:25-28,34-36 RSV)

Jude 1:14-15

New International Version (NIV)

14 Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about them: “See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones 15 to judge everyone, and to convict all of them of all the ungodly acts they have committed in their ungodliness, and of all the defiant words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”[a]

Pwedi man ka nga mubuhat ug maayu nga wa kay Faith. Pero di pwedi nga naa kay Faith nya tuyuon nimug buhat ug dautan.
