Who Do We Believe Here Between Jesus And Paul? by ictplotter(m): 7:13am On Sep 23, 2020
Paul says:
Rom.3
[24] they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus,
[28] For we hold that a man is justified by faith apart from works of law.
Rom.5
[9] Since, therefore, we are now justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

Jesus says:
Matt.12
[37] for by your words or work you will be justified, and by your words or works you will be condemned.

Those biblical verses above are direct words from both jesus christ and Paul in new testament, which seem to be contradicting. Who should will obey here now, jesus or Paul?

it will be wise if you don't add things to scripture, I have corrected you above. Those who add to God's word, don't they add plagues to themselves?!

Just a pity u stick to one version of the bible, pls read wise and consult from other versions before arriving at ur conclusion. At today bible have more 30 different versions and you are placing ur overview on one, i dont know why you guys are so mentally and intellectually lazy?
See below the different bible version and their quotes in regards to the above biblical verse.

No need to answer him
All these idiiots will never learn

2 Peter 3:15-16
And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,
speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures.

The op is mischievous. Where did Jesus used works? He said words. And this is exactly what Apostle Paul taught. We are justified by faith and faith is activated by words.

One pronouncement is coming from the Judge Himself, giving you hints on some considerations of Judgement.

Paul is simply explaining that to walk in the way of the Lord is the beginning of the walk towards being saved.

This is where the Divide is, for some teach the error that because The Christ died, they are saved which is wrong because unless the Forgiver has Expressly told you that you are forgiven, you may presume wrongfully.

But if you are told that you are forgiven by the Forgiver, then like the woman in Luke 7, then there is no room for enquiry.

Paul was talking about those who feel it's by doing things having to do with the Mosaic laws, he wants Christians to understand that salvation is through the works Jesus thought not that of Moses. Mosaic laws teaches the Israelites things/works that will help them relate easily with the Christ, Jesus' counsel will help us to live forever.

Alone! That statement up there requires the word "alone".

For the Commandments of God Must be kept not in appearance as the people do eg like the catholics/JWs/Bible Scholars etc but in spirit and Truth.

NO, you misconstrued the whole thing!

The commandments God asked Moses to give the Israelites must be observed publicly by all the people, what you're citing is when Jesus taught his followers about the sin of "omitting"
There are two forms of sins, "committing" and "omitting"

Committing is when you did something that is wrong according to the written laws of God, in this instance witnesses can come up to testify against you that they saw you commit so and so offense.
But omitting is between you and God, because this doesn't require any witnesses. It involves what you supposed to do when you're capable of doing it but you deliberately ignore since it's not written anywhere that you must do it and there is no human watching you. Luke 10:31-32

Now most people will publicly display affection and kindness for their neighbours in the presence of onlookers, it's not written anywhere that they must do this and since no one knows their capability nobody can question them for ignoring the needy, but they'll do it to be seen by observers so as to receive praise. That's what Jesus was talking about! Matt 6:1-2

But when it comes to the duty Jesus assigned to his followers, this couldn't go unnoticed! Act 11:26; 1Tim 4:15

Oh men I did not expect this to go this far, we could do this another day another time and I disagree with about 30% of what you said up there but I am very distracted with work now so I'll take an adjournment.

Matthew 12:34-37

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

I think reading properly the book of James clarifies a lot of issues as to Works and Faith.

Like someone cited the woman in Luke 7.

The is one of the most common misconception and misrepresentation of the gospel.

The use of the word Justification by christ has to do with The day of Judgement. But Paul wasn't talking about the same thing . He was talking . Paul was rather talking about now. The Salvation experience by being born again .

Those biblical verses above are direct words from both jesus christ

You added "works " to the words of jesus .
That makes you false accuser

I am afraid I fail to see the connection you have tried to make in all of these, @OP

Matthew 12 vs 33-37 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
33. “If you want good fruit, you must make the tree good. If your tree is not good, it will have bad fruit. A tree is known by the kind of fruit it produces.
34. You snakes! You are so evil. How can you say anything good? What people say with their mouths comes from what fills their hearts.
35. Those who are good have good things saved in their hearts. That’s why they say good things. But those who are evil have hearts full of evil, and that’s why they say things that are evil.
36. I tell you that everyone will have to answer for all the careless things they have said. This will happen on the day of judgment.
37. Your words will be used to judge you. What you have said will show whether you are right or whether you are guilty.”
I am not sure I see the link between the message above, and the messages below, which you attempt.

Romans 3 vs 21-26 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. But God has a way to make people right, and it has nothing to do with the law. He has now shown us that new way, which the law and the prophets told us about.
22. God makes people right through their faith in[a] Jesus Christ. He does this for all who believe in Christ. Everyone is the same.
23. All have sinned and are not good enough to share God’s divine greatness.
24. They are made right with God by his grace. This is a free gift. They are made right with God by being made free from sin through Jesus Christ.
25-26. God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people’s sins through their faith in him. God can forgive them because the blood sacrifice of Jesus pays for their sins. God gave Jesus to show that he always does what is right and fair. He was right in the past when he was patient and did not punish people for their sins. And in our own time he still does what is right. God worked all this out in a way that allows him to judge people fairly and still make right any person who has faith in Jesus.
Are you certain your posted the right verses?

Romans 5 vs 6-9 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Christ died for us when we were unable to help ourselves. We were living against God, but at just the right time Christ died for us.
7. Very few people will die to save the life of someone else, even if it is for a good person. Someone might be willing to die for an especially good person.
8. But Christ died for us while we were still sinners, and by this God showed how much he loves us.
9. We have been made right with God by the blood sacrifice of Christ. So through Christ we will surely be saved from God’s anger.
10. I mean that while we were God’s enemies, he made friends with us through his Son’s death. And the fact that we are now God’s friends makes it even more certain that he will save us through his Son’s life.
11. And not only will we be saved, but we also rejoice right now in what God has done for us through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is because of Jesus that we are now God’s friends.
Clearly, we are called to become followers of Jesus Christ, and most definitely not followers of Paul. So it is Jesus Christ we ought to believe and obey no matter what, but I don't see why you compare that statement there by Jesus Christ, to these particular statements made by Paul suggesting some connection exists between them to be seen.
