Thanks

for your PURE, ACCURATE, FITTING, APPROPOS

BIBLICAL SCRIPTURES AND TRUTHS

AS USUAL.

It still boggles me that anyone could read into any of those verses the least bit of ANY SALVATION BY WORKS OUT OF ANY MOTIVE WHATSOEVER.

However, given some of the givens, I shouldn’t be all that surprised. Sigh.

I suspect it is human nature to say "see this good thing I did" when in reality that good thing is a fruit of the Spirit.

Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

I baffles others when those claiming sola scriptura exclude versus of God’s Word to prop up the likes of Calvin and Luther.
