PennEd put me on ignore because he wants to continue in his sins.
NO, you have TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD THE GOSPEL, and now present the FALSE GOSPEL OF WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS:
Romans 4:4-5 (ESV)
4 Now to the one who works, his wages
are not counted as a gift but as his due.
(which you can NEVER, EVER live up to PERFECT HOLINESS, which is GOD STANDARD of HOLINESS.]
5
And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God,
9
not of works, lest anyone should boast.
And one mile OVER the posted speed limit FOR ANY REASON, even accidentally, makes you guilty of the ENTIRE LAW, in other words, you are as bad as the WORST MASS MURDERER on Death Row.
James 2:10 (CSBBible)
10
For whoever keeps the entire law, and yet stumbles at one point, is guilty of breaking it all.
1 Peter 2:13-17 (NKJV)
13
Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and
for the praise of those who do good.
15
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
17 Honor all
people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God.
Honor the king.
🖜 [That means if you are a U.S. Citizen, and you speak one bad word about President Donald Trump, you are GUILTY of the ENTIRE LAW OF GOD.]
That is the Standard YOU MUST LIVE UP TO, in order to COUNT YOUR WORKS for SALVATION.
