Actually it is a serious inquiry. This is one of a few verses I have tried to understand, and ended up putting them on the shelf.
I think I gained insights through this thread. I plan to check the interpretations from you and Cynical Bear out. But in no way do I believe in grace plus something else for salvation. In fact, I’m finding my day to day walk with God is grace plus nothing
Another verse I wonder about is Ezekials description of the Idol of Jealousy in the temple. There seems to be no surprise or explanation of what that thing’s doing there.
So agreeing with someone else's snarky comment is a legitimate form of discourse in your view?
Behavior like this is precisely why I have been absenting myself from discussion of this nature lately. I will say my peace and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit.
Feel free to have the last word.
