Good works are the result of our salvation, not a requirement for it.

This is not what Christ said when he was asked what one needs to do in order to be saved. His answer was, obey the commandments (work); give everything to the poor (work), pick up the cross and follow Him (work). And if you fail to show mercy and charity (work, work) do not call on Christ with your faith because He will say, "Do I know you?".

I am sure you recognize the scriptures I am referring to. How many scripture references are there in the above paragraph?

Yes, every good work comes form God. That has not been denied. You have a habit of posting scripture quotes that do not contradict anything you object to, then pretend that your argument is scriptural. This only works in a calvinist echo chamber.

You continue to leave out the Scripture to which you vaguely refer.

Surely you're better equipped than that in this debate.

Post the Scripture and then we can discuss it. It may be novel to you, but that's how it's been done on this forum for years now.
