This is why I say you don't believe ALL of Scripture, just snippets of it, whereas I believe it all (or try to). You cite one verse in order to negate another verse, but I'm saying it's all true, and seek to understand how it all "harmonizes".

So, you have no answer for the Scriptures I've cited?

Explain how the passage doesn't teach that only those who do good will be repaid eternal life at the coming judgment.

Explain how the idolater still has eternal life but no inheritance in God's Kingdom. Lol

Already explained 1 Jn 3:23,24 says 1) believe on the Name of God's Son, and 2) love one another. If you want to denigrate that as "works", that's fine, but, again, your view has no way of reconciling Ro 8:1 with Ro 14:23, or accounting for the fact that Paul (in 1 Th 4:8) warns the immoral God...

Neither addresses the issue in context, you merely rely on another verse in order to discount what Ro 2 teaches. Show me from the context that what I'm saying is a misunderstanding.

Yup, and we're told to "remain in Him" (some don't (1 Jn 2:28))--the life is "in His Son" (1 Jn 5:11), so those who don't remain don't retain the life, and we remain in Him by obeying the command 1) believe in the Name of God's Son and 2) love one another (1 Jn 3:23, 24).

I agree with Historical Christians that that passage speaks of the loss of salvation on account of the fact that he says he could be disqualified, just as the Jews were--and he says "do not to commit idolatry as they did" because "no idolater has any inheritance in God's Kingdom". Since he...

All I've seen you do is point to some other verse in order to call my understanding of Romans 2 a "delusion", I've not seen you explain HOW it is being misread in its OWN context.

Go ahead and show me where.

I never said Christians were sinless, but Paul says salvation can be lost by sinning in 1 Co 9:26 - 1 Co 10, so I believe it.

You don't know what being under Law means, apparently. I never said anyone had to serve by the Law of Moses, I have always and only said we are to serve by Grace, which means to walk by faith or walk after the Spirit.

Hmm... Any plan to explain how those words it explicitly says are being misinterpreted, or were you thinking you would just emptily assert it?

No, actually, you just got done calling Romans 2:6-16 which explicitly teaches "eternal life will be repaid doers of good".a "delusion", because of what some other verse said. Lol I recognize the fact that eternal life is a gift received through faith, but I also recognize that continuing in it...

Romans 1 :16,17 God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith Romans 14:5 Let every man be fully convinced in his own mind Romans 14:23 anything that is not from faith is sin

No, (I think you were complaining that I was "slandering" people and here you are "slandering" me lol): your issue is you don't understand what "under Law" means. I deny we are under Law.

Again, nothing but noise: I cite one passage, you cite another. My project is believing ALL of it, not just one or the other. I can affirm the verses you cited, but you can't affirm the verses I've cited. That's the difference between us.

OK I hope it may help someone else. Any time you want to bring the same objection, refer back to the answer already supplied.

Paul commands "present your members to God as instruments for righteousness" (Ro 6:14), and commands "obey" (Php 2:12,13). A command is not given when the thing is already being done, so, no, I can't agree that good works are a by-product of salvation. Even Christ had to pray about a decision...
