Topics

 * Practical (see head to heart connection)
 * Subtle fallacies (see connection)
 * Verses for works / problem verses

Mech
 * You are not saved based on works
 * Eph 2:8 not by works so that no one can boast
 * Titus 3:5
 * Rom 4:4-5 but he who doesn't work but faith, is saved
 * Gal 2:16 not by works but by faith
 * Phil 3:9 not by works, by faith
 * \/ Weaker
 * Rom 10:3 self righteousness not working
 * Gal 5:4 you failed at being justified by law
 * Faith >> works, James 2, and works is a nearly unavoidable manifest of faith. E.g. if the world ends tomorrow what you do?
 * James 2, type of faith
 * Acts 26:20 the saved perform acts appropriate to repentance
 * Luke 3:8 produce fruit in keeping with repentance
 * Php 1:27 conduct worthy of gospel...granted to believe
 * Matthew 21:28-32 two sons, one says no but obeys, the other says yes but disobeys. So end actions have more weight than initial??
 * It is fun to obey God.
 * Saved by faith
 * John 5:24
 * Acts 16:31
 * Matt 9:22 your faith has made you well. cf Mark 5:34, 10:52, Luke 8:48, 17:19, 18:42
 * Luke 18:9-14 prayer of tax collector vs. pharisee, collector is justified
 * Luke 23:43 man on cross is saved
 * I have not found verses which exclude all functions except a few named ones. With the breadth of scripture, I think sola fide is supported nonetheless. At least, no other functions have scriptural support.

More general. These truths or pitfalls hold simultaneously
 * SOVEREIGHTY**FREEWILL
 * novel***play
 * predestination**freewill
 * right-standing / thinking*action
 * faith***works
 * hope future**change in world now
 * trust***learning / sons / heirs / use brain
 * acceptance / content*discipline
 * fold hands, give up**legalism

Various verses for works
 * Luke 10:26-28 shamah, "do this and you will live" (but if (works iff faith) then faith is required too)
 * James 2:24-26 justified by works and not faith alone. Rahab justified by works (we say that proper faith will produce works)
 * Heb 6:10 god will not overlook your work (context is questionable apostasy). But see v12 the work seems to be faith (>>physical work)
 * Matt 5:20 must be more righteous than pharisees (but get that from JC)
