So it is ok with God if we only "sorta" keep His commandments? They are really only suggestions right? If we work hard and do lots of good stuff ..on Gods scale we get in cause the "good" outweighs the bad???

Did jesus mean what He said or not?

If a man lives by the law, and believes he is saved by the law..he will be judged by the law..(Romans 2:12) he will never pass, because NO ONE can keep the law perfectly except Christ

Think of it this way, You are charged with robbery, and you stand before the judge, and he asks if you have anything to say for yourself ...and you reply , but judge I feed my sick neighbor, and I work with handicapped children... would the judge dismiss your sentence?

Not if he is a just judge ...He would say" that is very nice, but you are still guilty of stealing from a family... so your sentence is......... "

God is a just judge.. He will not give you community service, he will sentence you .

The law saves no one, it only condemns

So am I to conclude that if you love neither God nor your neighbor nor have faith even the size of the mustard seed, you’re OK with God?
