this law of love of God and neighbor explicitly includes precepts which in many instances go beyond the mizvot

I suggest you look up the mitzvot. Based on your responses, I don't think you understand what they are.

St. Paul, as noted earlier, several times lists explicit transgressions that will bar Christians from entering Heaven

How is that possible if you are "saved" by "faith alone?"

“faith without works is dead.” (James 2:20). I don’t believe that Sola fide is biblical. As men of faith, we have to strive to enter by the narrow gate for, as Jesus said, not all who say Lord, Lord shall enter (cf. Luke 13:23-28).

Kosta50, thank you for taking so much time to dialogue with me. I need to press on to other endeavors at this point. So I pray that the Lord bless and keep you and your family. I ask pardon of God and of you for the times I have lacked charity in our dialogue. And I ask you to please pray for me that I may be a better disciple of Christ!

In his NAME...
