Iano, I was wanting you to clarify your point a bit.
Iano writes:
...the only form of words Jesus used regarding laws (in relation to our adhering to them) was or can only be implied to be, command form.
So we are commanded to love our neighbor, for example. Does this mean that I should not try and do so? What if I am unable to love with all my heart? What if I don't even like my neighbor?
Iano writes:
...what is the biblical basis for the idea that salvation/damnation is a function of our trying / not trying enough to do a,b,c?
I dunno...you tell me.
Iano writes:
...what I have heard thus far seems to be result of peoples own ideas as to what Jesus must have meant, ie: people apply their own subjective logic to fill the biblical gaps in making their case for salvation/damnation by works.
This topic is always going to be discussed by using peoples own ideas about what the Bible means. Only a fool would not even question the book that they believe determines their eternal destiny!
