My last comment on 'good works':
"What will it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith, but does not have works? Can the faith save him?....
"But does thou want to know, O senseless man, that faith without works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered up Isaac his son upon the altar?...
.... For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith also without works is dead." St. James 2: 14-26
My last comment, as I don't relish religious debates: self explanatory IMO. God placed us in this world to know, love, and to serve Him. We have a body and a soul. Just as Christ prayed... he also fasted, taught, cured physical maladies, and suffered physically in this world. He performed "good works"...(by doing so, Christ gave His own selfless example for His servants to follow.)
and NO, I've not been a good servant.
