>>But I know what Jesus said about it and one scripture by him is worth more than all of them said by any one else to supposedly contradict what he said.<<

So you don't believe all of scripture is really the words of the Holy Spirit as He inspired the apostles to write? Need I remind you that even the words of Jesus were written by the apostles years after Jesus had ascended into heaven? I would suggest to you that casting doubt on any of the words of scripture is dangerous business.

As to your reference to Matthew 25 the "works" that the righteous did were works rendered AFTER their salvation. Those works were only evidence of their faith. Any other interpretation makes Paul a liar.

Casting doubt? I believe using scripture from Paul to cast doubt on what Jesus said is the best example.

My reference? I did not give any reference, I wrote down exactly what Jesus said in plain words.

So you don’t believe all of scripture is really the words of the Holy Spirit >>>>>>>>>

Why accuse me?

It is you that seems to believe Paul is contradiction what Jesus said, not me.

But if you believe Paul is contradicting Jesus then maybe you should try to shape Paul into the image of Jesus rather than making Jesus into the image of Paul.

Those works were only evidence of their faith. Any other interpretation makes Paul a liar.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

That is true, the works Jesus is talking about is the mark of a true believer, the others are the goats.

As to your reference to Matthew 25 the “works” that the righteous did were works rendered AFTER their salvation.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So I guess that is supposed to make what Jesus said null and void?
