Steve Ray | By Faith Alone | Franciscan University 

Steve Ray is, thus far, the most convincing, comprehensive and effective teacher of the faith I've ever listened to.

Can't be tired hearing Steve Rey explaining the Catholic faith.I have listened already many times to all his videos.Enjoyable and educational.

Very well EXPLAINED and clearly TAUGHT Biblically and logically speaking... Praise and Thanks be to GOD... Amen...

The dept of Catholics church is just overwhelming, ex adventist here!❤

Love his explanation im a recent convert

Steve is excellent!

This is so awesome

James 2:17 KJV - Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

Prayer and work, according to St Benedict, shall we proclaim our faith! Very eloquently said 👏 In all things, God may be glorified 🙏

Thanks for this upload.

i saw him face to face. he is a great man proclaiming the catholic church.

Thank you 🙏❤️‍🔥

beautiful ❤❤❤

Everytime I listen to this Steve fellow talk I hear what my faith has always been to me explained with such profound dignity; it makes me wonder how one of these Protestant people, who resist this truth even to blind stubbornness when their use of the Bible to support them fails, came to this complex acceptance of truth just by wanting it. I sooooo wish I could get the devil who enters my wife to wait until I get what I want to say said about this truth before it sends her into her Protestant hate filled rage at me for daring to “speak Catholic” at her. Mr Ray, if you have a minute I would love to know how to reach my Dear Jesus loving Protestant wife, who wanders amoung the trees of the Protestant wilderness like a lost sheep. She’s been a member of three different denominations in the 20 years we have been together. I became weary with following her through her P phases and recently just went back to the Catholic Church where I decidedly will be until the end of my life… …and my home is upside down. She is rabidly venomously hateful at me. I can’t see the end of this. 😢 But, to live in hell for Christ is a better choice than trying to look for truth where it is sabotaged.

James 2:24 ASV Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith.

Works prove your faith, they do not merit justification. We are justified by grace through the redemption that is in Chris Jesus through faith in His Blood, which God set forth to be a propitiation for the remission of sins that are past.

wow 😮

James 2:24 not James 2:22

Galatians my friend its literally all of Galatians

not saved by works....hmm, sounds like there should be a better term here, eh...

This guy is wrong. The only other option is works. Faith alone. Later on he said not by works of rightousness which we have done. He didn't make a distinction between works of the law. Or just plain works. Abraham didn't have the works of the law to practice so he was justified by faith without works in gods sight. Even as Abraham believed God it was imputed as rightousness! Now to him that worketh not but believes his faith is counted for rightousness! God will not be indebted that I owe you eternal life because of your works. It's a gift to those who believe it's a gift. If your trying to pay for it or think your meriting it your indebting god and insulting the cross of christ

In recent decades, scholars have researched what pi'stis meant in the social context of the New Testament writers. Several scholars who have studied the usage of pi'stis in both early Greek manuscripts and the New Testament have concluded that 'faithfulness' is the most satisfactory English translation in many instances.[9][10] This recent research has prompted some to argue that New Testament faith and belief in Jesus should be understood in terms of faithfulness, loyalty, and commitment to him and his teachings, rather than in terms of belief, trust and reliance.[11] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faith_in_Christianity
