Romans 3:19-20 Romans 7:7 The prohibition against coveting is encompassed in "works of Law".

The problem is saying these things doesn't help people struggling with reading verses that teach eternal life is a repayment for good deeds Romans 2:6-7 Galatians 6:6-10 Revelation 19:7-8+Matthew 22:11-13

Awareness of God's graciousness versus ignorance of God's graciousness I think is what may make the difference between "works of Law" and "serve one another by faith working through love" . LOL

The Law was never binding on anyone but Jews Romans 2:12 Romans 2:14---Jews are released from their obligation to serve by Law when they die Romans 7:1-6 and Talmud Niddah 61b. Gentiles ought never have been brought under Law at all after having been saved--it was a false Gospel.

Hey, it proves they were living their lives by books we are NOT. To me, this inconsistency leads to curiosity.

I didn't ask you to rattle off your preformed beliefs but to give a response to the Scriptures cited which teach explicitly eternal life is a repayment for good deeds at the eschatological judgment--God will repay every man according to their deeds... eternal life Romans 2:6-7

I have already been edified by the discussion. Thanks for posting it.

You have not at all answered for how these passages fit into your system. Not at all. You may deflect and quote a DIFFERENT Scripture but you DO NOT tell me you believe eternal life is a repayment for good works as the Scriptures cited state.

Oops! James 2:14-31 does Galatians 6:6-10 does Matthew 22:11-13 and Revelation 19:7-8 does LOL

What refers to unbelievers?

LOL I caught that only after the fact!

So you reject Scripture and you're at peace with that? Interesting.

Answer the OP which cites Scripture saying eternal life is a repayment for good works at the eschatological judgment.

Yes we have the Spirit to that teaches us to love one another and have no need that any man teach us, but there is another class of doctrine which is given to humble men to disseminate to the body of Christ. Irrespectively, the Word of God BOTH condemns every evil work contrary to sound doctrine...

The Word says eternal life is a repayment for good deeds.

Which goes back to Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and flesh versus Tree of Life and Spirit. Who produces it is the question.

1. This issue of "bondage" Galatians 5:1 is important--but it is not as though the Law is the only route to bondage (sin is slavery). I think it's possible to be in an equivalent state to "under Law", fearful in service (eg, Matthew 25:26), even without the Law. Hebrews mentions "shrinking back"...

My point was the incompleteness of "the Bible" anthology is evinced in that it cites authoritatively from sources it does not contain not in that what is commonly accepted as "The Book of Enoch" is authentic.

I didn't say Book I said Enoch.

So Jude didn't live by Enoch but enjoined others to do so--he was a hypocrite and we have his hypocrisy enshrined in our perfect complete infallible rule we are to live by. Interesting take.
