More like ignored ‘cause you were caught trying to pass off a 21-word summary of the 2 Kings account as a refutation of the lengthy and convincing article to which I provided a link.
In other words, you were busted.

Maybe your difficulty is that you don’t understand the definition of “ignore.”

“Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord.
For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”
(Jeremiah 17:5-8)

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
(Matthew 5:3-9 KJV)
Faith without works is dead.
Originally posted by @rajk999No one’s arguing with you, amigo. All I’ve ever said is that good works are not required for salvation but are evidence that one’s acceptance of Christ was sincere because God’s Holy Spirit has indwelt the new believer and has started to change his or her heart.

Works without faith in Christ leads to damnation.

Originally posted by @rajk999He said numerous times that believing on Him and in Him is necessary for eternal life. Everyone on earth has done at least one good work and many have done at least several and many have done several dozen and many have done hundreds. Without faith and belief in Jesus Christ, they mean nothing in terms of righteousness (being in right standing with God.)
Jesus never said that.

You still dont get what 'believing' entails.
Its not knowing He existed
Its not accepting He existed.
It is obeying his word.
Anything other that OBEYING is mouth worship.
Originally posted by @rajk999I’ve said 1,000 times that sincere acceptance and belief in Christ leads to God’s Holy Spirit indwelling a new believer and the Holy Spirit will begin to change a new believer’s heart, and, consequently his or her behavior.

You don’t want to acknowledge that belief in Christ is necessary for righteousness (to be in right standing with God) and salvation because you want to puff out your chest before Jesus Christ and say, “I did it all on my own!” before you strut around heaven bragging and boasting of your “good works” while condemning everyone else.
Not how it works, amigo.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

The HS was in Annanias and Sapphira, two born again Christian Saints.
Case closed.
Nobody says anything about doing it on their own.
Thats just more church nonsense that they feed you with.
And you swallow it like a hungry dog.
All righteousness and good works come from God.
Jesus will save good people and welcome all righteous into the Kingdom
Paul said that the Ephesians are saved by faith through grace... Yes
But you stupidly stop reading there and proclaim 'HALLELUJAH IM SAVED'.. like a moron.
The wise man will read a few verses further ..
To the point where Paul warns these very same Chrsitian Saints
THAT THEY MUST LIVE RIGHTEOUSLY AND DO GOOD WORKS
MUST .. ITS NOT OPTIONAL
THEY MUST AVOID SIN.
Failure to do is means being cast out of the Kingdom of God
HS and born again is no guarantee.
Wake up.
Read more, then you will get the whole story.
Right now your half a brain only has half a doctrine
