I disagree with your statement: “Your works to add to faith, in order to obtain Salvation/Justification is an insult to His SUFFICIENCY.”

I do agree that The sacrifices and death of Christ opened Heaven to all of us. That our Baptism and following God’s will enable us to join Him in Heaven.

Do you not accept free will that allows one to sin (and lose our salvation by our works) even after you accept faith in Jesus? An example is Judas. Even Peter denied Jesus three times.

Perhaps you are familiar with Matthew 25:31-46 about Judgement Day.

Do you dispute the the Gospel of James 2:24?

Friend, His blood didn't open a door for you to walk through/work your way through. His Sacrifice made it possible for Him to be IN YOU. Without Him in you, you are none of His. You will make of yourself a goat.

If your child behaves badly, does that make them no longer your child?

Judas put his hand to the plow but was looking back, thus he was never Justified because he second guessed the Efficacy, the sufficiency.

The passages from Matthew that you tried to hang on me are aimed squarely at the Tribulation period, the wrath of God being poured out upon the lawlessness. If that is the depth of your biblical knowledge, that you believe God's Bride will be under the wrath, you are sorely in need of studying to show yourself approved. We are not appointed unto wrath but to obtain His Salvation. Yopu would do well to study the Olivet Discourse, because it appears you are expecting to be in that period of wrath.

I have studied James and you have rejected the excellent explanation given to you by Hoss. So there is little I can say to you to dispel your Gordian Knot.
