David J. Stewart #fundie jesus-is-savior.com

I have a Catholic neighbor that is stubborn like a mule. He is a good man as far as sinners go, but he is religious without truth. I have witnessed to him on numerous occasions, but he prides himself in sticking to the teachings that his grandparents and parents taught him. He is idolatrous and smiles with arrogance when he tells me that he follows the Catholic Church over the Bible. He's about 50-years old. One day he will split Hell wide open and find out that God's Word is true and the Catholic Church lied to him. He is going to die in his sins without Christ. He adamantly believes that he is going to Heaven because of his faith AND GOOD WORKS. Adding anything to faith alone in Jesus is a false gospel and a guaranteed road to hellfire (Ephesians 2:8-9). I am saddened that he is going to Hell. He rejoices and drinks beer like water. He is living it up, like he's never going to die. I am praying for his salvation and won't give up on him, but he has given up on himself. He's a key figure in his parish, St. Jude. I love Catholics as people; but I hate the cult of Catholicism!

Because David J. Stewart knows that he can have sex with underage girls and be forgiven because he's accepted Jesus Christ as his lord & savior, but his religious neighbor who is a good person & goes to church every week is going to burn in eternal hellfire because he followed the wrong religion.

And who needs good works to get to heaven when you just have to say that you accept Jesus? Instant ticket to heaven. Let those poor & starving people fend for themselves. If they'd accept Jesus then they wouldn't be poor & starving any more.

And I'd much rather hang out with someone who drinks beer than someone who worships an ancient book, has sexual hangups, and generally hates everything in life because they deem it sinful.

Whenever I read the name David J. Stewart, I think of this guy:

He adamantly believes that he is going to Heaven because of his faith AND GOOD WORKS.

Maybe he actually read James 2:17: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

There’s a big difference between saying "good works are required for salvation" (the Catholic position) and "good works are sufficient for salvation" (the fundamentalist Protestant misinterpretation of the Catholic position). Stewart, like Luther himself at one time, misses the distinction. Ephesians doesn't say you don't need works; it just says can't be saved by your own works without the grace of God. That's exactly what the Catholic Church said at the Sixth Session of the Council of Trent in 1547: "CANON I - If any one saith, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema."

Stewart is one of these lazy guys who thinks child murderers can get to heaven just by saying "I love you, Jesus".

From the second James letter, King James Bible

[14] What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
(...)

[17] Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
[18] Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
[19] Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
[20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

(...)

[24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
[25] Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Being catholic myself, I have never beeen able to understand how protestant manage to say works are useless, while James leter repeats several times that faith without works is useless.

And now fundies say that good works can get you into Hell?

Why does every one Judge each other on here,
when the Bible states clearly not to Judge let GOD BE THE JUDGE..In other words LOOK at ourselves before we look at others.we should be praying for each other,instead of putting each other down.I am a Born Again Christian yet some people at work don't wanna hear it,in fact a certain mocks,redicules and says he doesn't believe in GOD in one breath and in the next says I am going to Heaven and your not Cause Jesus likes me better,yet I prayed for him and forgave him.cause if you don't forgive others God the FATHER will not forgive you.it says that in the Bible as well so instead of putting each other down pray for each other and keep your JOY that you had when you got saved..
JESUS FIRST
OTHERS SECOND
YOURSELF LAST

So says a man who has a website dedicated to the ever growing list of all things that damn one to hell.

He is a good man as far as sinners go, but he is religious without truth.
Ten bucks, he says the same about you.

I have witnessed to him on numerous occasions, but he prides himself in sticking to the teachings that his grandparents and parents taught him.
And you cling to yours, why, then? Surely yur dad and granddad didn't believe as you do, or else it'd make you a hypocrite.

He is idolatrous and smiles with arrogance when he tells me that he follows the Catholic Church over the Bible.
So he listens to the head of a religious organization to interpret the bible for him as opposed to cherry picking from it to justify his biases...?

He's about 50-years old. One day he will split Hell wide open and find out that God's Word is true and the Catholic Church lied to him.
Or perhaps you will...just pointing out, other than your own arrogance, you have no proof that you're any righter than he.

He is going to die in his sins without Christ.
Wrong. Catholics accept Christ as their savior too. Try again.

He adamantly believes that he is going to Heaven because of his faith AND GOOD WORKS.
*GASP!* Believing Jesus would want his deciples to be good people, too?! OH NOEZ! So is this why you're a sanctimonious ass? Can't be mistaken for being a good person in the eyes of JAY-zus?

Adding anything to faith alone in Jesus is a false gospel and a guaranteed road to hellfire (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Fucking laziness. Say what you will about Catholicism, at least by their faith, you have to absolve youself of your transgressions. None of this "not perfect, but fogiven" shit that these wingnuts wave about as an excuse to be positively vile, and still hold their place in line for the sweet hereafter.

I am saddened that he is going to Hell. He rejoices and drinks beer like water.
Yeah, good thing Jesus never drank...

He is living it up, like he's never going to die.
So he's a bad person for not drudging through life, waiting for his number to come up? Fuuuuck...

I am praying for his salvation and won't give up on him, but he has given up on himself.
Sounds like he's got more a head on his shoulders than you could hope to.

He's a key figure in his parish, St. Jude. I love Catholics as people; but I hate the cult of Catholicism!
So says the man whose religion is centered around the "fun" litmus test. If you enjoy it in any way, shape, or form, it is sinful, and must be avoided. Sound like cult control tactics to you?

old comment by LDM

You're lucky this guy doesn't file harassment charges against you. Every religion believes theirs' is the only true path to heaven, otherwise they would all have been abandoned long ago.

Posts like this almost make me want to go back to the Catholic church. When I see this "salvation through faith alone" crap, I read "I'm just a selfish lazy-ass who can't be bothered to help others, so I'm going to make up this accept-Jebus-and-you're-in crap to justify my laziness, but these do-gooder Catholics are ruining it for me, so I have to put a spin on it to make them look like the evil ones".

If I had to be raised in a religious family at all, I'm so glad it was Catholic. At least I don't have to make shit up to help me sleep at night.

Dave, I've read your sites
(notably Jesus-is-savior.com)
I've found out that you're suffering from brainwashing, saying that evolution is a hoax because people didn't write before 4000 bc
(that's because they hadn't learnt it yet), believing that America is the only country in the world, and that catholics go to hell. Hell does not exist, for the bible reads that in the beginning God made heaven and earth(no hell)
I'm no christian but
MAYBE ALL YOU PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT DAVID HERE LIVES IN GUAM, MICRONESIA AND LIKES TO HIDE HIS AGE AND LOCATION.

David, the only cure for your brainwashedness is a religion known as pastafarianism, the church of the flying spaghetti monster,
check out www.venganza.org

Besides, Disney is evil indeed.

@Neith _ Gee, your such a pharisee! I am not lazy and you should not be so judgemental and arrogant to say I am. You don't even know me so who are you to haughtily assume and judge that for me to be? The Bible in my humble opinion is not rubbish at all. But you think it is and that's your own opinion. Anyways NO, I don't put faith...in myself because I know I cannot save...myself and I can only trust in Christ. I also do not cherry pick! Women ruling over man, like I said is a sin. I wont argue that. However, just because I don't like the idea does not mean I don't think it's a sin! Because IT IS! And I am a sinner! I agree with the Bible a 100%: it's my own buisness in who I have faith...in! To me, the Bible...is not stupid but I guess your a self-made man and you worship your creator!

P.S.
"For by grace are ye savedthrough faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast."(Ephesians 2:8-9)(see my pharisaical friend I don't cherry pick!)

Have a great life!!!! God Bless!!!! = )

I agree with Lauren and as for neith...umm what the H**L kind of name is neith? Oh wait neith is an egyptian goddess.

"Nit (Net, Neit, Neith) was the predynastic goddess of war and weaving, the goddess of the Red Crown of Lower Egypt and the patron goddess of Zau (Sau, Sai, Sais) in the Delta. In later times she was also thought to have been an androgynous demiurge - a creation deity - who had both male and female attributes. The Egyptians believed her to be an ancient and wise goddess, to whom the other gods came if they could not resolve their own disputes" - http://www.crystalinks.com/neith.html

LOL you think...your a goddess? That's friggen HI-LARIOUS! And your calling the Bible "rubbish"? That goddess egyptian stuff in my perception is quite RUBBISH!

Neith quotes, "but I don't need to cherry pick anything because the Bible is rubbish." LOL OK...then!!!!

David: I am not a fighter. I love Our Lord. I realize from reading your postings that you are no longer a teachable person. This is the most dangerous condition of sinfulness that a person can be in. (Did you immediately jump in your mind to a defense against my words? A good sign for you of pride!) I have been working very hard these past few years to see myself and my sins of pride with new eyes, eyes that are closer to God's view of the state of my soul. Your words against certain persons where you name them? You are gossiping and this is a terrible sin! Please, DAvid, if you intend to do any good at all, you must come from a point of Love. There is no love in what you say, no love. I am not talking about touchy, feely love; I am talking about real Love!

"He adamantly believes that he is going to Heaven because of his faith AND GOOD WORKS"

James 2:17. Your argument is invalid.

Keep picking those Biblical cherries, Davey-boy. Just as you picked the cherry of that underage girl you diddled, which resulted in you getting a criminal record.

@MacFli

"Wow, I've just discovered you David J Stewart... and I think we've found our "anti-Christ."

You don't know the half of it. Prepare to receive an education:

http://davidjstewartexposed.blogspot.com/

Frankly, he's infinitely worse than any 'Antichrist' (and I consider Maggie Thatcher *spit* to be the Antichrist! >:( ).

@Lauren

"@Neith _ Gee, your such a pharisee!"

And you - nor Davey-boy here - isn't? Matthew 7:1 says otherwise.

"I am not lazy and you should not be so judgemental"

Matthew 7:1 says you don't even have the right to contemplate the notion of even thinking of being judgememtal about anyone else - their own activities/lifestyles etc.

PROTIP: We Atheists don't go around saying that others shouldn't do this & that - yet do exactly what they shouldn't; two words: Ted Faggard. The phrase 'Do as I say, not as I do' - and the moral behind such - exists for a reason.

One more thing: we Atheists aren't paedophiles - certainly hypocritical ones like Davey-boy here.

Remember Job whoring out his own underage daughters, nay, having sex with them himself? And all under God's explicit authorisation; he certainly didn't condemn Job doing so. The people of Sodom & Gomorrah refused his pimping offer.

Even they were infinitely superior to God - certainly morally - just as we Atheists are. As proven via David J. Stewart, right-wing Fundamentalist Christianity - along with their God - is the real evil in this world. Get thee behind me, Lauren!

'Grace through Faith'. 'OSAS'. The passport to Sin (and still be a subhuman douchebag cunt), under the facade of being 'Saved'. Carte blanche for hypocrisy. Ergo, the more than infinite evil of right-wing Fundamentalist Christianity. Q.E. and D.
