That kind of thinking quickly leads to the Gnostic Heresy that says you can do anything because it is just your body doing the abominable things, while your Mind is pure.

Maybe.

Maybe not.

But demanding works is guaranteed to lead to legalistic religiousity which does no one any good and does not impress God.

So you are saying the James, Jesus’ half brother, was wrong when he said Faith without Works is worthless? You think that when God told Abraham to sacrifice Issac, Abraham should have said “No, God, I have faith. I don’t have to do anything”?
