Cannot Contradict

Cannot Contradict
Author: Mark V. Markov

A few verses
In the book or Romans
Cannot contradict
The message
In the New Testament,
And the Old Testament.

If all Scripture
Teaches works
And obedience
To God's instruction

This certain message
Of not doing anything
Because you are saved by grace
This message
That some people come up with
From the few verses
In the book of Romans
That some people
Like to build on
Cannot contradict
The rest of the Holy Scriptures

We must trust Jesus Christ
And all of the Holy Scriptures
When it comes to salvation
Of our souls

The words of Apostle Paul
Who wrote the book of Romans
Cannot contradict
The words and instruction
Of the same Apostle Paul

And most importantly
It cannot contradict
The words and instruction
And of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
For Jesus Christ is
The only Begotten Son of God
Who was always,
With God the Heavenly Father.
The Holy Spirit
Will never contradict Jesus Christ.

So we must live a life
As the same Apostle Paul
Had said in the book of Ephesians
For God created us
To walk in good works.
Walking in good works means
Always practicing good works.

Jesus Christ had said
To one of the churches
In the last book of the Holy Scriptures
Perfect your works
Or your names will be blotted out
From the book of life

And the fact always remains
That Apostle Paul
Is still a human being
A human being
Who was baptized in the Holy Spirit,
Just like every other true believer.

He was not
The only Begotten Son of God
He was not Jesus Christ our Lord.

He was not
The only Begotten Son of God
Who was with God the Father
Before the creation of the world.

If a few verses
Chosen by some from one book
Contradict the whole Scripture
When it comes to obedience to God
When it comes to doing God's will
When it comes to what Paul and other's had said.
To love in deed and in truth
As Apostle John had said

When it comes to having a living faith
That consists of works and faith
Making it a living faith
As Apostle James said

To produce works
That glorify God the Father
As our Lord Jesus Christ had said.

To perfect your works
Before God the Father
As Jesus Christ our Lord and Redeemer
Had also said.

For God does not want,
People to live in disobedience
To Him.
In disobedience
To His instruction
Just believing
That Holy Trinity exists

Holy Trinity wants,
People to live in obedience.
Doing God's will
Loving in deed and in truth
With a living faith
A faith that consists
Of believing and works
For with our works we glorify,
God the Father.

All of the Holy Scriptures
Overflow the few verses
Chosen by some people
From the book of Romans.
We have to trust all of the Holy Scriptures
And not just only a few verses
Chosen by some people
From the book of Romans.

When it comes to choosing
We cannot choose a few verses
In the book of Romans
To contradict Jesus Christ,
And all of the Holy Scriptures.
We have to fully trust,
Our Savior Lord Jesus Christ,
And all of the Holy Scriptures...



Ephesians 2:8-10 (ESV)

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Luke 17:10 (ESV)

So you also, when you have done all that you were commanded, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.’”

1 Corinthians 7:19 (ESV)

For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.

Matthew 7:17 (ESV)

So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.

Matthew 7:18 (ESV)
A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit.

Matthew 7:19 (ESV)

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Matthew 12:33 (ESV)

A Tree Is Known by Its Fruit
“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.


Luke 3:9 (ESV)

Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”

Luke 6:43 (ESV)

A Tree and Its Fruit
“For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit,


Luke 6:44 (ESV)

for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.

Luke 13:6 (ESV)

The Parable of the Barren Fig Tree
And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

Luke 13:6-9 (ESV)

6 And he told this parable: “A man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard, and he came seeking fruit on it and found none.

7 And he said to the vinedresser, ‘Look, for three years now I have come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and I find none. Cut it down. Why should it use up the ground?’

8 And he answered him, ‘Sir, let it alone this year also, until I dig around it and put on manure.

9 Then if it should bear fruit next year, well and good; but if not, you can cut it down.’”

James 2:14-26 (ESV)

14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him?

15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,

16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!

20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar?

22 You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;

23 and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God.

24 You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.

25 And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.


Revelation 3 (ESV)

1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.

“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.

2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.

3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.

4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy.

5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.

6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’


1 John 2:3-6 (ESV)

3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,

5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him:

6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

1 John 3:16-18 (ESV)

16 By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.

17 But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him?

18 Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.

Matthew 5:16 (ESV)

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 25:14-46 (ESV)

14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property.

15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away.

16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more.

17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more.

18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money.

19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them.

20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’

23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’

24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed,

25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’

26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed?

27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest.

28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents.

29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

The Final Judgment

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

32 Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me,

36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’

37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink?

38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you?

39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’

40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink,

43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’

44 Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’

45 Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’

46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
