I need not retract anything....do you know why I said what I said.....because of the following statement which is not only false, but a broad brush stroke that ignores scripture...YOU stated the following bolded
7. Good works and righteousness must follow salvation. If they are absent, there was no genuine salvation. Just as if there is no repentance, there is no genuine salvation.
The above underlined absolutely contradicts the following truth
But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness
This is why I SAID FALSE x three......and this thread IS NOT ABOUT WORKS, but RATHER the FACT that faith, grace, salvation and CHRIST can be seen in the O.T.
