James 2:10-11 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
Even if you did manage to keep the entire law for the rest of your life from this point on, you are still guilty of breaking it and deserve death.
Depending on *trying* doesn't cut it with God.
The soul that sins dies. The only way to avoid the penalty for that is forgiveness in Christ.
there you go again, picking a single sentence out of context to make it lie.
Post the whole chapter, so your error will be apparent to you as you compose the post.

Yep. As are you, and everyone else (except One). I am not justified by Torah. This is something that all y'all have always had trouble grasping - There is no salvation in keeping Torah. nor has there ever been. That is not what it is for.
Depending on *trying* doesn't cut it with God.
I am not 'depending on *trying*'.

Amen! Now you are catching on!
I am not bound to keep the law by it's curses (another thing y'all can't seem to get). If I LOVE YHWH, I will keep His commandments. I am bound to Torah BECAUSE I love YHWH. HE writes His Torah on my heart. HE helps me to understand. He makes His Sabbath and His Holy Days a delight!
I WANT to stop sinning. But in order to stop sinning, I need to know what sinning IS. The definition thereof remains only in one place - Torah.
