I think it's if you do enough good works you might have a chance, or some thing like that.
God knows who is saved and who is not. You certainly dont know that.
I am in no religion. I am a follower of Jesus and his doctrine like many millions of people out there whom God has blessed with eyes to see how corrupt Christianity has become, and who are strong enough to pull away from it. So Im on very solid ground. My house is built on a rock. Yours on sand. You constantly deny that following the teachings of Christ is essential to eternal life.
Instead you are a Bible cherry picker. You select a few verses that support your false doctrine and parade that as truth. Such as this one that you like to quote ..., but you conveniently leave out the next verse:
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
(Galatians 2:16-17 KJV)
For you and your ilk .. a man gets eternal life by faith in Christ alone and not by works of the law. But that is not the whole passage. Paul continues :
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin ..?
So your doctrine which you constantly parade around here, that you can profess your faith and get eternal life no matter what sins you commit therafter is wrong... you are making Jesus Christ a minister of sin. You cannot continue with a sinful lifestyle and still claim to have faith or still expect eternal life from Jesus when he returns
You are sadly mistaken.
