But why works?

It is a means to control the membership, because you have never done enough. Ask yourself why Jesus repeatedly told us he paid the total price? That truth will set you free from the Deacon or Cardinal or Pope, nothing else will because they will never let you pay off the works bill they claim you owe. >p> Jesus said, if you love me keep my commandments. And He even made them simple by condensing them into two commandments.

The question will always be how many works are enough, if works are what save you, but they aren't.

Likewise...

The OTHER question will always be: How many works are enough? (if works are what KEEP you)

He did not condense anything down to just two commandments. The works of God are continuous. You're never supposed to stop for the duration of your whole life.

Matt 25 is an explicit promise to those that do the works and to those that don't.

Perhaps you don't know exactly what are the works Jesus is referring to. Because in reality, there are quite a few. If this is the case then you're following the wrong path.
