Hello beads!
Do you believe that action and works are the same by definition my friend beads?
The definition of action as you quoted:1: the person or thing chosen or selected; "he was my pick for mayor" [syn: pick, selection]
2: the act of choosing or selecting; "your choice of colors was unfortunate"; "you can take your pick" [syn: selection, pick]
3: an alternative action; "what option did I have?" or "there no other alternative" or "my only choice is to refuse" [syn: option, alternative]
The definition of works by hyperdictionary.com:[n] performance of moral or religious acts; "salvation by deeds"; "the reward for good works"
[n] buildings for carrying on industrial labor; "they built a large plant to manufacture automobiles"
[n] the internal mechanism of a device
So isn't action and works different? Don't you think so beads?
As a gift given by grace from God, by receiving it freely of charge one must take action in order to receive it and that by definition is not works, however works on the other hand is what is produced by genuine faith and one would not have taken action in the fist place if one did not have genuine faith.
So works and actions differ, do you agree beads?
God Bless!
