It is a good thing that God is not involved in your scheme. The main thing in such a scam is to make sure God is asleep when you try sneaking into the kingdom on judgment day. Barring that....you better hope He has the same religious theories that you do.
No worries.
Born again believers who believe in and have received God's forgiveness receive the Holy Spirit by which they are transformed. And as a result of being transformed they have works of righteousness to validate that transformation. And it is on the evidence of that transformation - their works - that they are identified as sheep and given safe passage through the judgment and enter into the kingdom of God. Their works don't make them right with God at the judgment, they show that they are right with God.

In your scam gospel our failure is good because God gets ALL the glory.
No, I already showed you Paul himself plainly explains that is not what his gospel means.

Romans 3:7-8
7Someone might argue, “If my falsehood enhances God’s truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?” 8Why not say—as some slanderously claim that we say—“Let us do evil that good may result”? Their condemnation is just!


I explained to you that the increase of sin that glorifies God's grace in the forgiveness of sins is the increased knowledge of sin in the giving of the law, not your purposeful pursuit of increased sinning.

If we do well then that's bad because then God has to share.
No, that's silliness. No one is making that argument.

The danger in doing good is doing it for the reason of self promotion, as is done in your gospel. Boasting is excluded in our gospel because in our gospel justification is not by the greatness and sacrifice of our works, but rather by the giving of the gift of righteousness through the forgiveness of sin according to God's grace, not the merit of our works.

1 Corinthians 1:30-31
30I...Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 31Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”
d

Romans 3:27
27Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded.


Righteousness by faith, not works, is a boast in what the Lord has done, not what we have done. If justification was by works, as it is in your gospel, we'd have occasion to boast. But as it is, we don't have that boast.

Romans 4:2
2If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God.



Doing good in our gospel glorifies God because it is by reason of the desire to love others, that he has put within us by the Holy Spirit, that we do good, not to promote self.

1 Corinthians 10:31-33
31So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God— 33even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.


Only if one does good for reason of self promotion, as your gospel does, is doing good bad and steals God's glory.

It's about believing in your own salvation...religious certainty IS faith for you lot.

Total wipe out.
You are certainly the one who is believing in his own salvation, not us. You are the one who believes it is by the righteousness of your works that you become a saved person. Not us. We have the certainty of what we cannot see to be saved.

Hebrews 11:1
1Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Our faith in God's word that he has forgiven us through Jesus' sacrifice gives us the certainty of our salvation. The doing of righteous works is the certainty of your hope. That's why you will not have what you hope for. You simply aren't righteous enough to obtain the promises of God by your righteousness. Someone or something has to fill in the gap between your lack of righteousness and the righteousness required to enter the kingdom of God. You have nothing because you reject that which fills in the gap - God's forgiveness through the sacrifice of Christ.
