You added two words, though I agree with the thought, I wouldn’t call it fixing Jesus’ words.
The whole post was DESCRIPTIVE in nature. As are my other statements on this. The fact that you read “or else” into what I said causes me to question whether you are being dishonest or or not reading with understanding
Do you know what a descriptive, as opposed to a prescriptive statement is. There’s good dictionaries online

Fixing Jesus’ words? That’s heretical. And I’m not being dishonest. Obviously I’m brutally honest which is why you became so upset.
What happened to that cocky little know it all high fiving his little works compadre while disrespecting people who disagree with them? (that would be you). You now have a much softer tone.

Obey, works, obey, works. There is not one single person on this awesome thread who has obeyed all the commandments. We are not under the law anymore, praise Jesus Christ the Lord. We are to ask forgiveness if we realize we have sinned or have been disobedient. Yes. But to try to continue to live under the law is self-defeating. It couldn't be done in the beginning and it cannot be done now. Only the yielding to the Holy Spirit and the guidance of God's Words can keep us on as straight a path as a human can be on.

I am only harsh with false accusers. Like you. So I will now be harsh with you.
You are a false accuser. Works of darkness you do. Here’s the charges...
I make my point by using DESCRIPTIVE texts, which means they are not prescribing actions in order to be saved, but rather describing those who are saved already. But you try to twist them into prescriptions. That makes you either a liar or someone who does not know how to rightly handle God’s Word
John 10:27 is descriptive
Hebrews 3:6 is descriptive
1John 3:3 is descriptive
1 John2:3 is descriptive
Now go find out what a descriptive statement is
If I am quoting them as descriptive, then they are not caused or grounds of salvation, they are effects of it
But obviously you don’t understand scripture. For if you did, you would know they were descriptive and would have known and understood my position. But apparently you never realized they were descriptive. Therefore you only read the Bible suprficially.
Soft enough for you?

If you had read my posts from yesterday, you wouldn’t have written this ludicrous post. I defended Security of the believer yesterday. You do nothing but pratfall over and over again. Ask @BillG what I said. As @mailmandan what I said. Ask @calibob what I said.
You are just another false accuser. I have enough of those already on my plate

Post 40, not of works but created in Christ Jesus unto good works.
Keep on misrepresenting people. It only shows that you turn the grace of God into a license to lie. You can lie all you want, and your spirit new nature is unharmed, because it’s only your body doing it.
Gnosticism. My body sins all it wants and my new nature is still righteous. A guy named @Budman promoted this. It is totally Gnostic

It is Jesus in our heart that counts.
