Not semantics at all, but the truth.

Why do you willfully refuse to accept the finished work of Christ upon the cross for all of your sin and instead vainly rely upon your own supposed "good works" and "righteousness" to save you from your sin when God Himself says you are not good or righteous in yourself?:

9What then? (O)Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both (P)Jews and (Q)Greeks are (R)all under sin;

"as it is written, 'THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;

THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;

ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS;

THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE." (Romans 3:9 - 12)

It is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to get to heaven or to be delivered from Hell based upon "good works" by keeping the Law of God because no one can keep it:

"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in ONE POINT, he has become guilty of ALL." JAMES 2:10
