*THE DUMBEST QUOTE MINING FOR WORKS SALVATION EVER*
Obviously, unsaved people are spiritually blind, so we sort of expect them to say dumb things sometimes, and of course like clockwork they will just randomly parrot their pet verses as always, but they still never cease to amaze how dense they can be sometimes. These are people who are able to land jobs and pay their bills, but can't grasp the moronic conclusions of the things they say.
Have you ever heard somebody quote 1 Corinthians 8:24 to justify works salvation? "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize."
Here's why you have to be not only spiritually blind, but probably mentally deficient as well to use a verse like this.
*1: ONLY ONE PERSON gets the prize* So to believe in works salvation and that the "prize" is everlasting life, you literally have to believe that you are competing with every other works salvation twerp and only one of you is going to be saved
*2: Salvation is not by running a race* Paul, speaking of righteousness, and God's mercy pertaining to adoption (which are part of the salvation package) said, "it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."
So why would I quote a verse about running the race to preach works salvation when righteousness is not by running the prize?
No Nonsense Christianity
