After you read the below, solve for x and y in the comments.
As long as your values don’t violate my consent, and my values don’t violate your consent, I think we’re good. But I think we can be better than good. We can be beautifully great when we go above and beyond for each other.
Don’t just x (a common value that is good, but bare minimum), go above & beyond into y (a personal preference that is both good and so beautifully extra that “against such things there is no law” unless you’re a Scrooge or a Grinch).
Not everyone accepts God’s offer of salvation though Ichthus and even those that do try to add to it with their good works like you.
We both know that you will be jumping over the fence into the sheepfold with your filthy rag good works so Matthew 7:21-23 applies to you a believer in God.
You sound like the accuser condemning me like that, you judgy judger. You prolly balance on the fence as you walk along it like an alley cat, goofus face.
I’m merely warning you to stop spouting a false gospel like the Pharisees and Sadducees did.
God doesn’t need your filthy rag works tainting his perfect works Ichthus.Your good works come after your salvation.They are not a pre-qualification for it.
If I want to get it wrong & be useful as a cautionary tale… like you… he’s got it handled. You let him worry about me, Watson, and I’ll let him worry about you, mkaaaay?
You are a believer in God….and you will be boasting about your filthy rag good works to Jesus when you get into the sheepfold EXACTLY as Jesus explained in Matthew 7:21-23.
Read your bible…and interpret it how its meant to be interpreted and not how you think it should be interpreted Ichthus…Matthew 7:21-23 applies to you….It couldn’t be any clearer…..This portion of scripture flushes out the individuals who believe that a mere belief in God is enough which it isn’t and adding good works to one’s belief is of no use either…..not for salvation it ain’t.
