[Dr. Eckleburg]

Ephesians 2 clearly teaches that good works must accompany faith in order for us to be saved.

Which verses from Eph. 2 would be saying that? If, by some long shot, you are referencing Eph. 2:10, then you are clearly misunderstanding Paul.

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." - Eph. 2:10

Here Paul tells us the "we are His workmanship," which means the good works we do were first ordained by God the Father and accomplished by God the Son and imputed to us by God the Holy Spirit, all for the glory of God.

God beholds Jesus Christ in us and that is what He loves. Not our own works which are as "filthy rags."

No it doesn't, because it says that we should walk in them. We are not clockworks, we choose how to "walk".

What you suggest is Calvinist heresy not found in any scripture. The Gospel is full of calls to good works. If they were programmed into us and as you say "accomplished by God the Son and imputed to us", none of the exhortations would be there. Read the scripture, "doctor", not Calvin the charlatan.
