And Eze 18: 5-9 claims one who is righteous by works shall live. God's words, quoted, no less.

Did anyone live? No one follows the law.

...Are we to believe now that this was not true because +Paul says none is righteous?

And Paul is correct.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Did anyone live? No one follows the law.

Exactly the message of the Gospel.

"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance." -- Hebrews 9:14-15

There is unity and transition from the Old Testament to the New Testament, by the will and work of God. Men cannot justify themselves or perform works that will save them. Only the blood of the Son of God can save sinners who have been purchased with so great a price.

All determined by God, for God, through God, from before the foundation of the world according to His good pleasure for the glory of His name and the welfare of His children.

Rejoice, Christians. Jesus Christ has overcome the world.

Did anyone live? No one follows the law

So, then you make Eze 18:5-9 is deceitful.

And Paul is correct

So, God waited until +Paul to tell the Gentiles the truth? What does that make of God's saying in Eze 18?

If +Paul is correct, then Ezekiel must be wrong.
