Well, let the record show who you’re the one running from a discussion, and refusing to share the Gospel (which all Christians are commanded to do).
You criticize my interpretation of the Bible, but refuse to express your own. Not a reasonable position in a discussion forum.
I don’t claim that my understanding of the Gospel is special. My understanding is a plain, widely-held view. I will state it in my own words:
1. Each of us is sinful and wicked, more sinful and wicked than we are willing to admit or dare comprehend. All our thoughts are sinful, as are our motives, even when we’re trying to do right. We are too wicked to save ourselves.
2. Each of us is loved and treasured by God, more loved and treasured than we dare hope for, and more than we can comprehend. His love is like that of a brother, a best friend, a father, and a lover, all wrapped into one. He treasures us more highly than anything, even his throne and personal glory.
3. Our sin separates us from having a loving, intimate, personal relationship with God. God takes sin seriously; he has no sin and cannot associate with sinners.
4. Sin demands a sacrifice. To solve this problem, the only solution acceptable to God (that would bring us to himself) was to come down to earth in the form of a man, Jesus. In this form, God lived the life we should have lived, and imputed that perfect life to our accounts. Then he took the combined penalty for all our sins, and in fact “became sin”, on the cross, was separated from the Father, experienced hell. When he was raised from the dead, he conquered death forever.
5. Those who trust in him to take their sin penalty, and turn from their sin, and believe he is God, come to earth as a man and raised from the dead, will live forever. We cannot be saved on our own. We cannot be saved by doing good works. We cannot be saved by keeping a set of rules. We cannot be saved merely by assenting to the truth of a set of correct doctrines. All of that is “religion”. Christianity is not a set of rules that will save us. It is not a religion. It is the opposite of religion.
That is how I would explain the Gospel (the good news).

Who is running from the discussion?
You can't even address your "law" are not "laws" but "God died for our "LAWBREAKING" comment. Nothing else you say has any meaning to me.
See you around silly. Blackbird.
