I noticed he did NOT SAY........” When I return, will I find Law-Keepers on the Earth.....” Jesus remembered and MEANT what He said in His Earthly Ministry....” The RIGHTEOUS shall LIVE by FAITH” He has returned to gather up those with IMPUTED FAITH, simply because they Rested in His Finished Work Of The Cross— Plus NOTHING ! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KJV It is the simplest of reasoning- as man has only two choices to believe God or consider Him a liar... Faith has always been required even before the fall~ as everything was created then Adam and faith the necessary element as to the existence of all... answering as 'God's Word He The Creator of Adam and all else'... this is why it is written Heb 11:1-3 & 6 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? KJV The whole of Luke 18 is about having faith, trust if you prefer in Jesus. Most queries can be clarified by reading the context. Chapter and verse divisions are not inspired, so read several chapters either side of a ' problem ' passage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have began in a system that is manipulated toward darkness toward lie and if we do not reform our thinking to truth (God's Word) we will have a skewed understanding of what's what... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that not imply the work of Christ was fruitless? And is that not antithetical to the entire paradigm of Jesus being the "vine"? Whatever is not from faith is sin (Rom. 14:23b). He has spoken of this another way as well Matt 7:11-14 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. KJV To serve God and not mammon is total faith requirement.... would you agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For if the Lord avenges us, but we've lost faith and run off and done ungodly things while waiting, what happens to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
