Christ 'plainly said, 'If you Love Me, KEEP My Commandments' - if one takes the 'position' that
ONE SCRIPTURE (NEGATES) the other, then, there is COMPLETE CONFUSION, and,
'God is NOT the Author of confusion' - but 'who is the author of confusion'???
Paul is hard to 'understand', but Christ's Words are the very (foundation).
Paul's words are 'always' in 'agreement with Christ's', and they MUST be interpreted as such,
or else, you have an incorrect interpretation...

...We know that we all possess knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. The man who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know. But the man who loves God is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:1-3
If anyone teaches false doctrines and does not agree to the sound instruction of our Lord Jesus Christ and to godly teaching, he is conceited and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy interest in controversies and quarrels about words that result in envy, strife, malicious talk, evil suspicions and constant friction between men of corrupt mind, who have been robbed of the truth and who think that godliness is a means to financial gain. 1 Timothy 6:3-5
At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure. “All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:25-30
CARRY each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: “WAKE UP, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Ephesians 5:6-14
And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to WAKE UP from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11
WAKE UP! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; obey it, and repent. But if you do not WAKE UP, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you. Revelation 3:2-3
Confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and Walk in Love.
God is good and His LOVE endures forever.

Matthew 12:46 While He yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with Him.
Matthew 12:47 Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
Matthew 12:48 But He answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Matthew 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Matthew 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Who becomes a brother, and sister, and mother of Jesus? Whosoever shall do the will of the Father.
What is the will of the Lord? That all should come to repentance
Do the will of God, come to repentance, do not do evil, worketh good

Better question, I believe, is "Are the commands, themselves, being broken?" When reading those pages do you feel the WAY OF THE LORD is being represented? Do you say, this is some heavenly language and brotherly love going on here? Do you find a lot of kindness, longsuffering, meekness, well, do you find any of the FRUITS of the Spriit towards those who don't believe in OSASed? Does it make you stand up and say "These pages will bring the world to Christ"?
Does anyone say "do no works" may not say it, but does it come off as if you should do any, even without the direct words being said? I say yes, it does for me at least. Does anyone come out and say "Break the commandments"? No, not in those words either, but does it come off that way? I say yes, it does, for me at least.
I am not going to go back and look through the posts and tell you where those impressions came from. Everyone is free to read and interpret for themselves. I am just answering your questions here with the way I feel there. And I really hope this is good enough for you. So to be perfectly clear, these are my impressions and feelings and observations, and I am entitled to them as you are to yours.

Each text you shared needs to be understood in the context to which it is shared.
What translation is 1:17 and 3:21,22.
They really messed up 1:17. It should read something like this.
for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; even as it has been written, "But the just shall live by faith." Hab. 2:4
(Rom 1:17 LITV)
From Faith to Faith. An Evangelizing Faith. A direct rendering from the Greek looks something Like this "out of Faith into Faith".
They really hatched up 3:21, 22 also. But then most do.

It is this simple. Case closed. millions of words of "discussion" unnecessary.
Remember:
Mat 22:37-38 NIV Jesus replied:
"'Love the Lord your God with
all your heart
and with
all your soul
and with
all your mind.'
(38) This is the first and greatest commandment.
And technically speaking:
If you would be perfect!
With all your goods/possessions!
