I already have belief in Yeshuah. But I understand that I must also yield good works based on that belief. You on the other hand, think that you only need to believe, and not yield good works. We will see how fares better in the end, the one who yielded no good works, or the one who did.

If the ignore feature is a girl, can I marry her?
She is a good house keeper
Cleans up the thread nicely, and she is easy on my eyes, and when I see all else, I can see everything with rose colored glasses
She protects my eyes and only allow me the freedom see what was ignored and she will never accuse me of anything
She is very understanding to me
And very diplomatic, as she is a peacemaker
And I cannot find a wife as loyal as her
And I am free to touch the ignore feature anytime I want, and she fully consents

Let me quote more scripture proving that good works are required,
If among you, one of your brothers should become poor, in any of your towns within your land that Yehovah your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart or shut your hand against your poor brother, but you shall open your hand to him and lend him sufficient for his need, whatever it may be. Take care lest there be an unworthy thought in your heart and you say, ‘The seventh year, the year of release is near,’ and your eye look grudgingly on your poor brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to Yehovah against you, and you become guilty of sin.

this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my master the king: that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes. And in that it was commanded to leave the stump with the roots of the tree, your kingdom will be assured to you after you recognize that it is Heaven that rules. Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’

“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Yehovah shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and Yehovah will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,

The Torah commands that we "rebuke" our brother in sin. To say that we are not obligated to help our brother in need is sin, because the Torah commands that we help our brother in need. You know nothing of the Torah, nor the ways of God. You are lawless. http://www.wisdomofgod.us/2019/02/24/give-to-the-poor-and-do-good-works/ .

Required for what???
Jesus was incapable of saving us to the uttermost....do you realize that is what you promote, a weak incapable Saviour.
May God have mercy on your soul.....everytime someone comes here with this heresy I just ask myself how can anyone be so bold to dethrone Jesus and put their self-effort above His full and completed work.
Obviously you are not understanding the Gospel, how then can you rightly divide God's word???

Saying helping the poor is a requirement, according to what the Messiah taught, "give to the poor", is dethroning the Messiah? You people don't even realize how lost you are in your own deception.

Salvation is never earned because it was predestined by God, before anyone did any works, not because good works are not required to inherit the kingdom of God. This is why, "every tree that does not bear good fruit will but cut down". Good fruit is good works.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
