There are several things you said that I can contribute to your confusion and dismay. Here's one of them I chose off your post....
Really, you really said this...."Nothing says here that the righteousness of God is attributed to us...or that we don't retain our own behavioural responsibility."
And then you said for this same particular verse, "...or that we don't retain our own behavioural responsibilty," really?! Get over yourself.
I'm sorry this scripture disappoints you. You know scripture is not intended to support all your ridiculous tenets or points and especially not in ONE verse.
Point to scripture that explicitly says we retain (all?. some etc?) of our behavioural responsibilty. And then what do you mean by 'behavioural responsibility' I don't think you really know do you?

I can pick apart any and every unscriptural idea of yours, and maybe you might know this already,,,,and it can go one, and on because you will not quit with your nonsense. Stubborn to the end. Never knowing the truth of the word already given to you.

Why don't you consider beginning anew, because I think you have yourself confused with your own ideas, and with scripture first. and not last. And to see if your theories stand the test of real faith and truth. Make a thread about it. Even better, I will be a co-author it and base it firmly on scripture and not your theories...fair enough?

- Romans 5:17: “For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one Jesus Christ.” (ESV)
