"WHY would God give us this free gift of salvation, with no strings attached?"

Why indeed would God give us the knowledge of right versus wrong, the gift of reason and freewill, and a sense of responsibility if we have no need of them? Why would He reveal His Word and make us subject to His law, known to us by the dictates of conscience, if it were pointless?

It's not pointless. Do you even have any idea WHY the Law was given in the first place?

Obviously, you can't get the answer from your religion...Your religion doesn't know...

The answers however are in the scriptures...
