Must or else results in 'salvation by works.' We should always obey God, but that doesn't mean we never mess up.
We are created in Christ Jesus unto good works...that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:10) We should "keep" (guard, observe, watch over) God's commandments. (1 John 2:3)

Not in your first response, you were hemming and hawing around. Surely you know that wasn't close to direct, right?
Are you trying to be in my face? I hope not.

Just for the record, again. I began saying that his people keep his commandments in this thread. It is a truth. I stand by it.
But I...
Never said perfectly.
Never said for salvation.
Never said to assist in salvation.
Never said we are saved by these.
Yet, the simpleton tribe attacked over it. Let's see "self-righteous" "works-preacher" and other derogatory names, championed by several others.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I guarantee none of you would step up to me running your mouth like that in person. The internet affords you the opportunity to show your true selves behind your monitors.
And? God judges according to truth.

Dude (said in a nice way) ... you have at times used words that would lead one to think you believe in "salvation by works". I have read your posts. They are ambiguous at times. I personally don't think you believe in 'salvation by works'; but at times don't articulate it well. The difference between the qualifiers like "should", "will", "must", "try to" in front of "obey" can be subtle.
Meant as constructive criticism. (IMO)

Don't take this the wrong way: If you cannot articulate your beliefs concisely, it's because you don't understand them as well as you think you do.
Your OP brought an onslaught on your person, and rightly so. It also caused the ravenous wolves a.k.a. simpletons on here to attack some others, well, at least one other, in ignorance and on purpose, just because they live for this type of behavior.
