In it she said that the people who thought works were what saved them were told “I never knew you”.

Can protestants not read scripture? It was the people who did NOTHING who were cast into the outer dwrkmess. and the people who helped the sick, imprisoned, naked and hungry who were surprised that they had done anything for Christ, until He told them, "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto Me>" They were saved. I'm starting to wonder about all yall. Can't you see you've gotten it exactly backward?

Romans 4:1 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness." 4 Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. 5 And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness,

Why did you leave out the key to the verse...MY BROTHERS...And you claim you know what the verses mean??? Who you trying to kid, yourself??? There wasn't a Christian in the bunch...

One can't understand what Jesus is talking about if one leaves out half of what he said..

You do realize, don't you, that you are mixing up your passages. The verses that speak about those who would tell Jesus, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?" are found in Matthew 7:22-23. Jesus answers these self-satisfied "religious" people, "Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’". Those are obviously the ones that thought their works would save them, HARDLY nothing.

But the verses in Matthew 25:30-50, speak of the sheep and goats. Try to keep things straight, okay?
