Yes, and you were off-topic. The OP ASSUMES we are "not under Law" (thus your attempt to put people under Law is off-topic) and is asking how to parse "works of Law" from "good works".

An Apostle who directed us to do the same thing he did to become wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus--read Scripture. "The faith" is taught in Scripture says the Apostle 2 Timothy 3.

You're not responding to what I've said. Not sure what you're responding to.

Well, yes, I know there're people who reject the plain meaning of those verses, but, for the rest of us, those verses mean exactly what they say and then the reconciliation between they and other verses which seem to be contradictory is sought and found so that all the verses are treated...

You're not addressing what I said in response to you.

No, and you didn't address what I said in that post you merely parroted the same empty things you always do.

Paul wasn't. He got many revelations of the faith through Scripture--and so commended men to the Scripture to obtain the same education in the faith 2 Timothy 3:16.

It didn't contradict Scripture.

I've already explained why it's not (not necessarily)--I'll wait for your answer to that.

Off-topic.

Well if he tells me to live by Enoch's prophecy, but doesn't himself, he's a hypocrite and his hypocrisy is enshrined in your perfect little book for all to see!

Yeah, it's not that simple.

In other words, there's ALOT of overlap between "good works the Law commands" the doing of which is condemned and "good deeds" which we are turned to when we are turned away from "works of Law" Galatians 3:1-5 Galatians 5:5-14.

If you don't know how to define "works of Law" you may not be able to avoid them.

I've tried.

All right, that's a start, but it's still a denial of the Scripture--a Scripture whose doctrine is reiterated in other places like Galatians 6:6-10--isn't it?

"By works of Law... by the Law comes knowledge of sin... I would not have known what it was to covet lest the Law had said 'do not covet'."

Sorry, no, Jesus says hate is murder and coveting is adultery : it is you who misunderstands what a "work" is, not Paul who places "coveting" as an evil deed that violates Law and (curiously, as It was ostensibly to result in his obtention of life) results in his death.

So, your way of dealing with Romans 2:6-7 and Galatians 6:6-10 is to ignore them. All right. That's "interesting".

That we are "not under Law" is already granted, the question is as to defining of "works of Law" and as to distinguishing them from "serving one another by faith working through love".
