Am not EG, and he will answer well. I just have a point to make.
The new covenant is completely different from the old. The old is I will do this if you do that.
The new is a will of inheritance which none of the OT saints had.
Makes a whole different understand of truth if you put this fact into thinking.
now butting out.

We are saved by believing the gospel of Jesus Christ. It's all about believing. Those in Christ are called BELIEVERS! Here is just a sample of Scripture:
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Romans 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Romans 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Galatians 3:22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
Ephesians 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
1 Thessalonians 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Acts 13:39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

I do not answer most of his nonsense, Must like Ralph, or Johns imputation of Jesus Faith, I just ignore it. People make up stuff, and I get sick of trying to respond to made up stuff.. (like the pharisee did not think he was righteous because he obeyed Gods commands) there is only so many times you can respond until it just gets old.
He wants you to think Abraham was found by his works not his faith. Of course if this were true, Jesus could have kept his abode in heaven, and made us all earn our salvation by our works.

Romans 1:8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
People were not talking about how those Gentile Romans got saved, but their testimony now that they are saved. The faith of the Roman believers was displayed through their obedience. Comparing Scripture to Scripture...
Romans 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.
Again, we are saved by believing the gospel. At the moment of belief, we are justified. Once we are saved, we live out our faith through obedience, good works. Some believes are strong in their faith, mature. Some believers are weak in their faith, babes.

I see no issue with believeing and promoting His ways are right and to be followed.

It is false to preach that the Pharisees were keeping God's Commands. You are just making this up to justify your traditions. You call Jesus a liar every time you preach this nonsense. And it is a falsehood to say God didn't bless Abraham because Abraham trusted Him enough to follow His instructions. You just make this up to justify your religious traditions. Every time you preach Abraham had faith without works you make God a liar. God is not a liar EG. He said He blessed Abraham "BECAUSE" Abraham obeyed Him. Jesus is not a liar EG, He said the Pharisees were not obeying God, but had created their own commandments.
Why you refuse to accept these simply, clearly outlined truths is fascinating to me.

many constantly do this when it is clearly wrong:

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Mark 7:1-9, “And the Pharisees and some of the scribes assembled to Him, having come from Yerushalayim. And seeing some of His taught ones eat bread with defiled, that is, with unwashed hands, they found fault. For the Pharisees, and all the Yehuḏim, do not eat unless they wash their hands thoroughly, holding fast the tradition of the elders, and coming from the market-place, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions which they have received and hold fast – the washing of cups and utensils and copper vessels and couches. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your taught ones not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? And He answering, said to them, “Well did Yeshayahu prophesy concerning you hypocrites, as it has been written, ‘This people respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commands of men.’ Forsaking the command of YHWH, you hold fast the tradition of men. And He said to them, “Well do you set aside the command of YHWH, in order to guard your tradition."[/FONT]
