“It is made plain in almost every epistle in the NT that salvation is through obedience,”

***

WRONG!

*Sigh*

“But[c] God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.”

“21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.”

” For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30 since God is one—who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.”

Have you even read the Bible? You know, like EVER?

Have you even read Paul’s epistle to the Galatians? You know, the epistle where Paul strictly comes down on salvation NOT depending on obedience to Jewish law, unlike what Rood claims.

For pity’s sake, man. Are you going to provide any evidence for your claims at ALL, or are you just going to call anyone who contradicts you satanic without giving any reason to believe you?

... he’s in a cult, with a pretend rabbi that was in a cult, then started his own cult... so there’s that.
