Originally posted by @rajk999Paul is referring to those who think they will be justified by the law, and he’s saying it’s not enough to hear and know the law, you’ve got to follow it. And in another part of Scripture, Paul notes that he who tries to justify himself by the law is a debtor to do the whole law - no exceptions.
Don't know what you talking about but Paul said
For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans:2:13
No one can keep the whole law without error. That is why God instituted the sacrificial system in the Old Testament, so flawed human beings could atone for their inevitable stumbles.

Half the people on the planet (51% at the last count) believe in reincarnation and ultimately that human beings are part of the divine.
In other words, the idea that we are all God (part of the same divinity) is a view held by the majority. Does your condescending attitude extend to all of them?
Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeReminds me of what Jesus said. "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it".
The majority of people in this world don't believe that Jesus is the way.
You can accuse me of being condescending, but that's just you being snarky and self righteous.

Oh... you left out one difference ....
Followers of Christ will be in the Kingdom of God because they are doers.
Talkers ? ... Not so sure. Only Jesus knows.
Doers to what extent?
Four good works a week? Five? A dozen?
<<Talkers ? ... Not so sure. Only Jesus knows.[/b]>>
Surely you’re not suggesting people who sincerely accepted Christ into their hearts are just “talkers?” They are actually the ones who are saved, not those who try to justify themselves or make themselves righteous.
And, as far as “talkers,” you talk a great deal in this forum so you could be classified as a “talker” quite easily.
But, on another note, how do you suppose one follows Jesus’ command re: the Great Commission? Isn’t talking necessary to lead people to Christ?

You’re trolling muscles have atrophied in your retirement.
Don’t try to troll by quoting Shakespeare - at least not yet. Ease back into it, big fella.
