Had you referred back one chapter to Romans 2, you would have seen that the righteousness that derives through having Torah written on our hearts is the sole avenue for sinful man to achieve eternal life.

It's more than that...You not only have to have the law written in your hearts, you can not fail at the law...

Rom 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: (if you sin without the law [Gentiles in this case] you are sunk) and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; (as as soon as you are judged by the law after you failed in even one point, you are sunk as well)
Rom 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified
.

And then we jump over to Romans 3 where keeping the law has nothing to do with justification and righteousness...When Jesus died, the law was over with as to pertaining to judgement by the law...Jesus became sin and took on the judgement for everyone...For all time...

You’re missing the fact that if you fail at your faith you’re done too!

Only “he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.”

Eternal security is just another false gospel, like pre-trib rapture, and grace for those that refuse to obey.

1John 2 is the filter through which all ‘theologies’ must pass.

Yeshua said that his gate is narrow, and few will find it.

After reading the comments on the RF for 16 years, I do not doubt it!

P.S.

You’re totally misunderstanding what “Law” is in Romans 3.

Its not the same law he speaks of in Romans 2.

The law in Romans 3 that has nothing to do with righteousness is the Pharisees’ false man made laws (takanot and ma’asim).
