Luke 7:50

Luke 7:50 Jesus said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."

[36] One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee's house, and took his place at table.
[37] And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was at table in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment,
[38] and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
[39] Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner."
[40] And Jesus answering said to him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he answered, "What is it, Teacher?"
[41] "A certain creditor had two debtors; one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
[42] When they could not pay, he forgave them both. Now which of them will love him more?"
[43] Simon answered, "The one, I suppose, to whom he forgave more." And he said to him, "You have judged rightly."
[44] Then turning toward the woman he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
[45] You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.
[46] You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment.
[47] Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little."
[48] And he said to her, "Your sins are forgiven."
[49] Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, "Who is this, who even forgives sins?"
[50] And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
--- Luke 7, RSV

LOL, wrong guy.

It is the faith that she had that saved her nothing else.

Read the book of Hebrew. It talks about how Abe. was justified by faith too.

Another example of your inability to read and understand perfectly plain Scripture.

"Do you see this woman? I entered your house, you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
[45] You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet.
[46] You did not ...[text shortened]... of all context and read it to mean the EXACT opposite of what the passage is saying! Incredible!

Thanks, LH. I knew that, but merely posting the complete Scripture is tooooooo subtle for some of our "Secret Decoder Ring Christians".

Luke 23:39-43
39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, "If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us."
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, "Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?

What did this criminal do but have faith?🙂

Ever hear of comforting the sick and/or dying? And what do you know of the man's other deeds in life? I can't think of a thinner reed to argue "faith alone".

EDIT: As an aside, this incident is not mentioned at all in Mark and John and is flatly contradicted in Matthew 27:44 which said the robbers crucifed on both sides reproached Jesus.

That's because there were four. You heard right. Four, two on each side. The four gospels compliment each other. Just because two do not mention something and two do, so what? That does not cause conflict. Why do you suppose there are four gospels? Just for something to write? Get real. If you are going to critisize the bible as an unbeliever, at least learn it first.

What a joke! Please point to me in ANY Gospel where it says there were four, two on each side! You people make this s**t up as you go along! Matthew 27:44 says the robbers (plural) reproached Jesus and doesn't mention Luke's contrived incident at all. Learn your own book of fairy tales.

EDIT: Read your own cited passage: ONE of the criminals .....
...[text shortened]... bbers, one on the right hand and one on the left.

Who doesn't know the Bible, sport??

Gee...like I haven't heard all this before...it takes a little study to see it.

Originally posted by no1marauder
Yes, it takes a lot of study to see things that aren't there. Haven't got to John yet, but the other three Gospels say TWO, not four. Does your "Secret Decoder Ring" say differently??

EDIT: It's unanimous: John 19:18: 18 where they crucified him, and with him two others, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst.
