Unless you believe what the Bible plainly teaches. I noticed you completely ignored verse 9 in your "exegesis" ... the one that says "not of works."
I dont think we can continue productively.
From my post 43:
verse 9 is made to mean that we are not saved by ANY works where the scripture clearly distinguishes the works of self-glorification from "good works".
Also
There are also passages that teach that we are not saved by certain kind of works. For example, we are not saved by works of the law, or works done for a temporal reward.
So where DOES the scripture, in contradiction to itself but in accordance with the Protestant myths, teach that we are saved by faih alone? We already know it teaches that we are not.
