But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” 30 Jesus replied, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32 So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33 But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35 And the next day he took out two denarii[a] and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, ‘Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.’ 36 Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?” 37 He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” And Jesus said to him, “You go, and do likewise.”
Any sins I have committed in the past have been confessed to the Lord, forsaken, and I have been cleansed based on Proverbs 28:13, and 1 John 1:9.... My conscience is clear... and currently there is no known sin in my life.
That doesn't mean I'm perfect in the literal sense... the other day I spilled my ice tea at dinner proving I'm not perfect in the literal sense like Jesus was when He was on Club Earth... cause Jesus ain't never spilled His ice tea!

If you were going by the whole counsel of God, you would not be teaching salvation by works and you would also not be a false accuser of the brethren through your slanderous remarks. 1 Peter 2:1 - So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. You continue to suffer from a severe case of anti-OSAS derangement syndrome and your childish troll behavior doesn't help your case one bit. You need to repent.
So you teach that man is justified (accounted as righteous) by faith AND works? Salvation by works is not the whole council of God. It's a perversion of the gospel. (Romans 4:2-6; 5:1-2; 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9)
As I explained to you before, "faith only" per James equates to an empty profession of faith/dead faith that "remains alone" - barren of works. (James 2:14) Not to be confused with faith that "trusts in Jesus Christ alone" for salvation and not in works. (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9)
James does not use the word "justified" to mean "accounted as righteous" but is shown to be righteous. James is discussing the evidence of faith (says-claims to have faith but has no works/I will show you my faith by my works - James 2:14-18) and not the initial act of being accounted as righteous with God. (Romans 4:2-3) Works bear out the justification that already came by faith.
Man is saved through faith and not by works (Romans 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Titus 3:5; 2 Timothy 1:9); yet genuine faith is (evidenced) by works. (James 2:14-24)
Christ saves us through faith based on the merits of His finished work of redemption "alone" and not based on the merits of our works.
It is through faith "in Christ alone" (and not based on the merits of our works) that we are justified on account of Christ (Romans 3:24; 5:1; 5:9); yet the faith that justifies does not remain alone (unfruitful, barren) if it is genuine. (James 2:14-24) *Perfect Harmony*

This describes the democrats... one cannot be a true Christian and vote democrat.
Because, voting democrat is voting to support baby killin and sexual perversion which God's Word teaches in abomination unto HiM.
True Christians would never provide support for these abominations as the Holy Spirit does not lead anybody to support such filth.
No, I don't teach that.... God's Word teaches that.
Romans 8:13
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Notice it said "thru the Spirit"??? Too bad you don't know Philippians 4:13
Feel free to reject all the scriptures that martin luther and john calvin rejects.
That way you can prove yourself to be one of them... false teachers who lead people away from the Truth of God's Word.
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
All the false teaches claim one can be right with God while doing sin which is NOT being lead by the Holy Ghost.
Hang in there bud... maybe someday you'll learn the whole truth!
