Without quibbling with the modernistic translation, yeah, when something is to be our way of life, that means necessary. In verse 9, it is grace, not salvation that is not a result of works, and indeed, by grace alone we are saved.
you should study the Reformers
Good grief, for what? I am interested int he Church Christ founded, not in inventions of some German semiliterate monks 1500 years later. No sale, thanks. I know enough of Protestant phony theology to despise it.
One can never do enough "good works" to save oneself
No one says we can. By we should "walk in them" nonetheless through faith, and by Grace, we may obtain salvation if we do.
We will either love Him, or we won't.
Right. We love -- we do works of love. We don't -- we invent "sola fide" theologies instead.
Continuing in the faith however, shall be The Way for "good works" to at all come about
That is roughly accurate:
with fear and trembling work out your salvation. For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will. (Phil. 2:12-13)
But why then do you contradict this by insisting that works are not necessary? God is not going to ask you anything unnecessary.
I am happy though you now appear to understand the distinction between salvific good works and sundry ceremonial, boastful, for-wages works of certain Pauline passages in Galatians and the Romans.
Shove off, troll.
If it's by works, it's then merited and ceases to be grace.
Romans 11:6 But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
