I mean, how obvious can it get that he's talking about the end of the law as a way to be justified.
The end of the law is not that you don't have to do it anymore. The end of the law is, among other things, not thinking the law is how you make yourself righteous before God. Read it. Paul isn't saying you don't have to not commit adultery, or not be gay, or not steal anymore. He's saying obeying the law in order to be made right with God is what ended.

If you don't have works it shows you don't have the justification you think you received when you say you first believed.
Did you know that's what the author of once saved always saved said? He said if you do not have works you were never saved to begin with. You probably did not know this, did you?

Because the faith that saves is signified by what it does. We know Abraham believed God and was justified because he did something to demonstrate that belief. Had he not obeyed we would have no choice but to conclude that he did not really believe God's promise of an inheritance.
The presence of the faith that saves apart from works is made known by what that faith does. Paul, James, and John all said the faith that justifies is the faith that will then manifest (show) itself in the outward obedience to the commands of God. No obedience, no change of life, means no faith in God's promises.

you have never once posted a scripture that points to a born again Christian
someone God has started in
losing salvation
you use a bunch of your own words
out of context scriptures
and push a false doctrine
thing is when you lie
and twist what people believe on purpose so often
its obviously not to fool anyone
its just to get reactions....
this is fun for you?

Just so you know people. Offense is the biggest sign you are probably dealing with an unbeliever.
There is no right way to talk to an unbeliever about the things of God. They always hear them in a twisted offensive manner. Only when they're humble and ready to receive Christ does their hearing start clearing up. Been down this road enough times to know what I'm talking about. You people are tipping your hand and you don't even realize it.

im not accusing of anything. I completed the scripture Decon ignored and posted why Jesus rejected them. He said He rejected them for practicing disobedience to God. They had a religion, they taught in Christ’s name, they gave Jesus the credit for everything they did and Jesus still rejected them because He said they ignored God’s instruction. What do you not understand
