The Bible says we are "saved by Grace through faith"(Ephesians 2:8), so I can't argue against that.

But you just did ... here is what you said.. .

Without grace and mercy, we would never be able to approach our Father in Heaven. It is by God's grace and His mercy that He provides us a way to come to Him.

So you have said that you are not saved by grace and mercy, you only have an opportunity to earn it with your deeds. So you do "argue" with the bible

However,

There is not HOWEVER in the bible that is YOUR word, not Gods

that does not mean that we have no responsibility to submit to God. If that were the case, then there would be universal salvation and no one would go to Hell. However, the Bible is clear that this is not the case(Matthew 7:14).

So the false choices you have set up are "universalism" or a salvation by your good deed , your obedience to the law.

Neither is taught in the Bible, in fact we are told quite clearly we are SAVED by grace and mercy

Would you please define for me grace and what is mercy?

All I said was that if we are saved by Grace, which the Bible teaches, but not everyone will be saved, which the Bible also teaches, then there must be something other than Grace involved. Is that hard for you to understand? It isn't hard for me.
