All the “do’s” you list could be done in your head. Is there anything that Jesus asked his followers to do in the physical world, such as breaking bread together or going to church?

By the way, I don’t understand the dominos reference.

Nothing of any consequence. The real consequence is what He has done for us. Re-visit the remarks by WVKayaker and Rom. 8. The hermeneutic employed by Rome places great emphasis on Matt, Mark, Luke and John (commonly & mistakenly called the "Gospels"). But, the actual "gospel" for us Gentiles begins at the cross (Eph2). Check it out. Much of what Jesus taught is the Jewish Law. And, your gang won't do that...such as tear out an offending eye. Why don't you "do" that?

"By the way, I don’t understand the dominos reference."

Just me being smart-alecky. You know, the Romanist priests say stuff in Latin which sounds like, "(sing this at a higher pitch) I can play dominos better than you (now drop a couple notes down and sing) can." Sounds like Latin...sort of. I know...not funny.

But, the real point is that absolution, confession, and most of the other traditions of Romanism are not Scriptural. These traditions occupy the "do" that Catholics think of when they think of "doing" Christianity. Just as there was nothing for the thief on the cross to "do" to be fully rescued, there are no "requirements" left which must be fulfilled for a person to be rescued today.
