Judyt:
We are back to the great divide between reality and theology,
How can one have faith in what one is ignorant of.  IOW there are those who claim to have faith but who do not "hear His voice"
Dead religious works are one example of this.... His faithfulness is in fulfilling His Word, not the words of well meaning theologians.
 
NEVER WHAT our faith rests in, please. IN WHOM our faith rests..Not constructs, Judith. Ours is an embodied faith. It is HIS FAITHFULNESS.

Not to me; I see them as different. Working for the Lord can be the religious "dead works" we are to repent from (in Hebrews). There are a lot of ppl going around out there doing a lot of things. They are all well meaning but some are ignorantly working against God's Kingdom.

John writes:
The ONLY thing that makes a work for the Lord a "dead work" is lack of faith.  There may be a lot of ppl out there doing a lot of things -- but there are none over here who are not.   Faith drives one (eventually) to serve.  John
 
Judyt:
I don't believe the scripture in Hebrews refers to faith; the important thing is what our faith is rests in.  Anything done in the flesh is a "dead work" and everything we do in response to the leading of the Spirit and out of obedience to Christ is classified as "serving the Living God"  There are lots of fleshworks out there..... all done in the name of God.
