So those who deliberately choose to live under a Law, must keep it in it's entirety or risk being lost. They run for a prize that's already been awarded. Plus they run futilely as no one in the history of mankind has ever kept the Law. Or was Jesus wrong

Jam 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.

This is most stirring of scripture on that..if you lie, you will be judged as a murderer. That is why Jesus came to free us from the burden of the Law, by keeping it perfectly for us..

Gal 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

reminds me of Sisyphus, roll that boulder up to one Sunday and by the next it’s rolled downhill

If one doesn't trust in Christ to save him, I wonder that he can claim to be, or even think of himself, as a Christian. After all, a Christian believes that Christ is who he says he is, and will do what he says he will do.

Someone intent on keeping a system of law is basically an unbeliever, which is why it's so much easier I guess to have all the other helpers, the church, their own works, Mary, the so called saints, angels, the pope, the magisterium all jumping into the drowning zone with him

The hopelessness of a works based, man-made religion:

Romans 8: 8

So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
