Phil, you missed the detail of how they deceived themselves. That is not surprising since work based salvation cults seldom see the obvious. Remember what the rejected wanted to have The Lord count for them? Salvation is by Faith alone, in Christ alone ... no works to be accounted.
-------------------------------------------------------
Saved by grace (faith alone), THEN, judged by the law/works. That is what the bible teaches.
You are more than welcome to purposely break any commandment you wish.
We show our love to God by keeping his commandments.
Romans 3:
28Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. (Phil and MHG agree)
29Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law. (Only Phil agrees)
