Hello Gandpa, nice you see you again my friend.
Seems no matter how many times anyone shares with you that they BELIEVE we are not saved by the works of the law and are ONLY SAVED by GRACE through FAITH and NOT of ourselves; it is a GIFT of GOD and not of works lest anyman should boast you disregard it.
Now my friend, if we are in agreement on the above then you have no argument. If you have no argument and we are all in agreement then what are you arguing about as we all believe the scriptures posted here.
What is being shared here as stated many times already is that if your FAITH does not have the FRUIT of OBEDIENCE to God's WORD then you are still in your SINS because you have NOT accepted the GIFT of God's dear son. If your tree has no fruit then it will be cast down and thrown into the FIRE (Matt 7:12-23; James 2:18-20; 26)
Indeed because all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour. You did not finished this however....
31, Do we then make void the law through faith? GOD FORBID: YES, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW
Indeed, if we WALK in the SPIRIT we will NOT fulfill the lusts of the FLESH ....
Romans 8
1, There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
3, For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: <WHY?>
4, That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
This is what is being shared here. Sin is breaking God's LAW (Romans 7:7; James 2:9-11; 1 John 3:4) If you are following Christ you will not be continuing in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN. We are no longer under the CONDEMNATION of God's LAW because we have forgiveness from SIN and are now free to FOLLOW Jesus through faith in his WORD because we LOVE him
Romans 1
5, By whom we have received GRACE and apostleship, FOR OBEDIENCE TO THE FAITH among all nations, for his name.
Romans 6
1, What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. 2, How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
John 14:15 If you LOVE me keep my Commandments.
Indeed wornderful scriptures. We are not saved by what we do but by FAITH in God's WORD.
2Pe 1:4
Whereby are given to us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Romans 3
31, Do we then ABOLISH THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? GOD FORBID: YES, WE ESTABLISH THE LAW
The yoke of bondage here spoken of is SIN. As Jesus says....
Joh 8:34
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.
Romans 6
14, For sin shall not have dominion over you: for you are not under the law, but under grace.
15, What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16, Know you not, that to whom you yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants you are to whom you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?
17, But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18, Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
No one is teaching anyone here to follow God's LAW to be saved as we are ONLY SAVED by GRACE through FAITH and NOT of ourselves; it is a GIFT of GOD and not of works lest anyman should boast so you have no argument as everyone here is in agreement.
The False religion however is the one that teaches that we are saved IN SIN and that if you CONTINUE in KNOWN UNREPENTANT SIN you will still enter the KINGDOM of HEAVEN. This is the very first LIE told in the Garden of Eden to EVE by the farther of lies. Those who teach such things teach against God's LAW and the prophets. This is something Jesus or the Apostles never did.
SIN is the transgression or breakin gof God's Commandments (Romans 7:7; James 2:8-12; 1 John 3:4)
Those who CONTINUE in UNREPENTANT SIN will NOT enter into the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.

God's 4th commandment is one of the ten (Exodus 20:8-11) If we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness we are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has led many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
There is not one scripture in all of God's Word that says that God's 4th Commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to KEEP Sunday as a Holy day.
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
In times of ignorance God winks at but now ,<when a KNOWLEDGE of the truth has come> calls all men everywhere to REPENT (FOLLOW) (Acts 17:30-31).
