Read Ephesians 2.

Specifically verses 1-10.

The plain words of the Apostle Paul regarding salvation by grace through faith, not on account of works, so that no man may boast.

So tell me, how do you reconcile that with your claim that there’s no such thing as salvation by grace?

You are grossly mistaken!

In Ephiesians, and everywhere else, Paul says that by the grace of God we are saved by our faith!

In Romans 2 he makes it as plain as can be:

Romans 2:

[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
[14] For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
[15] Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

What could be said more plainly?

Go ahead, deny or ignore the parts that cannot be twisted to something more appealing to your ears! Have you ever read James epistle? Do you just say it doesn't belong in the Bible?
