Why should we believe this man’s interpretation of what God and Christ mean when they speak? Scripture is the only data. This author has expressed mere opinion. The reason I bring this up being today’s general, and in many cases proper, disbelief in any authority. Authority has shown itself venal and corrupt filled with secret unstated goals and “policies!”
Through FAITH alone in Christ alone.
Romans 4:5
But to the one who does not work, but BELIEVES in Him who justifies the ungodly, his FAITH is reckoned as righteousness

Excellent. This verse is surely the ultimate “gotcha” answer for all faith-plus-worksers.
I know, because I can read.
I can read, because I was taught to read by Catholic nuns, who knew how to teach.
However, I learned the way to salvation as an adult from Protestants!
Sola Fide!
