Self preservationists seek to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and maintain faith in their own strength and do not put much stock in God's preservation. (Psalm 37:28; Jude 1:1) This makes room for back door boasting.
Such people seem to take pride in believing that Jesus merely "initially" saved them, but now it's up to them to ultimately "keep themselves saved," which sounds dangerously close to "type 2 works salvation."

We have failed, we are failing, we can not live up to gods standard,people have tried to show you this for along time now, you still do not understand, you somehow think because you have not commited murder or rape your ok. Well the law says your not ok, sadly to many Jews did not figure this out, and it appears you have not also.
God requires perfection, anything short requires death, Ie as James said, you can keep the whole law yet stumble in one point, your guilty of all.
what can you not understand this?
God does not fail, we always fail, we will never live up to Gods standard, all have sinned even the ones who never committed the sins legalists keep harping on (murder rape porn) the day of atonement was fo all the children of Isreal, not just the murderers, even the morally good people needed their sins atoned for.
until you understand this. I don’t know what to say
