Really? Then why did Jesus die if you can do it yourself?

Non sequitur. The choice is not between "faith alone" and "do it yourself."

Faith is an essential component, but not the only component necessary. Christ died to enable us to have grace and faith and to put these into practice.

The word "alone" really does mean something, and its presence or absence in a sentence can change the meaning.

Do you even need other people to debate with? You just jump off on your own tangents --of course only strawmen that you already have an answer for.

Ever think there are more choices than the two you've presented here?
