No one said we were. That is your perception and it is in error.
You are cherry picking again.....trying to fit your beliefs into scripture.
James 2:13-14; 17-26....
"For the one who does not practice mercy will have his judgment without mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
14 Of what benefit is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but he does not have works? That faith cannot save him, can it?. . . . .
So, too, faith by itself, without works, is dead.
18 Nevertheless, someone will say: “You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” 19 You believe that there is one God, do you? You are doing quite well. And yet the demons believe and shudder. 20 But do you care to know, O empty man, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father declared righteous by works after he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was active along with his works and his faith was perfected by his works, 23 and the scripture was fulfilled that says: “Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he came to be called Jehovah’s friend.
24 You see that a man is to be declared righteous by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same manner, was not Raʹhab the prostitute also declared righteous by works after she received the messengers hospitably and sent them out by another way? 26 Indeed, just as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead."
Did James contradict Paul or are they on the same page? We need BOTH.....no one is saved by either one on their own merits. You can't have one without the other. We show BY our works that we are genuine Christians.
In the final judgment on this world, it is those found "DOING" the will of God who will be saved. (Matthew 7:21-23) The word in Greek is "poieō" and it involves action.
Once again, you r lack of misunderstanding the Scriptures is breath taking!
Faith without works is useless. But works do not save a person. works are the result of one being given a new nature and is a new creature in christ! those who live in their flesh cannot please God! The Wathctower lies saying only 144,000 can be born again, Jesus says YOU must!
