You rely on the opinions of men? Let’s stick with the Bible, how many millions will spend eternity in Hell fire due to Gill?

No one will be in hell because of Gill just as no one will be because of any false teaching - God is able to shine the light of truth to those hearts diligently seeking Him. You want to pretend you aren't relying upon the opinions of men (i.e., Armstrong, Russell, Rood, White, et al)? I quoted Gill because he explained the meaning behind the FULL quote of Paul WRT "justified by the law".

I did not contradict myself.

Sure you did and you continue to do so by your insistence that ONLY obedience to the Law of Moses (your version of it anyway) is what justifies one to be saved at the end of ones' life. You say ONLY this obedience counts if one really loves Jesus and you have to love Jesus and obey His commandments if you will be saved. You mock the sinner's prayer where a truly contrite sinner admits his lost condition and surrenders to the mercy and grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ to redeem him, when Scripture tells us that this IS the only way anyone CAN be saved. It is NOT by our works of righteousness nor works of the law but purely by the grace of God.

If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we will be saved, Scripture says. That and hundreds more like it assure us of the grace of God available to all who trust in Christ and we thereby know we HAVE eternal life in Christ. Like I said, we are saved by grace THROUGH faith and NOT works - neither the Law or works of love or any other commandments. We do not and never could deserve or merit everlasting life - it is a GIFT of God.

I am convinced that you do not know Yeshua.

This constant false posting cannot come from anyone that knows him.
