Wonder why he would say, "let no man deceive you?"
Filthy rags, yes, I agree, no matter what one does, this is true, yet do I give up, or do I walk in the light, on the narrow path?
One every fruit of the Spirit is commanded.promoted in Yahweh's Law
that is why there is no Law against these things...
Evey fruit of the flesh is against/sin according to Yahweh's Law...
I understand it is the default position for people to say, oh you keep the Law by your own will.
Foolishness, how can this claim be made by someone who does not know you?
Legalist.... do you promote illegalisim?
Are these men legalists?

Ok so once a human has accepted the Messiah they are to then walk the narrow parth and not partake anylonger from the ways of the world aka the mixed tree, but only from the tree Yahweh offers.
Why is it when some one says hey I believe we should only take from Yahweh's tree they get attacked?
I find it really amazing that you know my motivation, you must be omni-present? I mean, we have never met, you have never seen me, nor what i do in life...yet you claim to know my motivation for obedience to Yahweh....Well I would be amazed, except for the fact you are wrong and I suspect your false depiction of me comes from you own rebellion against Yahweh.
So please answer this, is Shaul operating on his own strength here? And quote where I have said anything that would make me not only claim but even hint that I keep the Law by my own strength? (which would be impossible anyway....)
1 Corinthians 9:24-27, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all compete, but only one receives the prize? So run your race that you may lay hold of the prize, and make it yours. And everyone who competes conducts himself temperately in all things. Now they compete to obtain a perishable crown; but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly;
I do not fight like a man who beats the air.
No, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified."
You said, "Those who think they kept the law by their own work are the ones the Lord says "I never knew you"
Seems to me you have made up you own meaning of iniquity and interpretation.

Its clear, you are in opposition to Yahweh's Law
Romans 8:5-8, "For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against; (bitterly opposed to), Yahweh; for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods and everyone who professes to love, yet practices falsehood."
