Nuh-uh, Ed. Wrong.

I’ve read the Greek. I’ve read the rest of the New Testament. I’ve read the book of Hebrews too—the WHOLE thing, not just the bits that Rood cherry-picked out of the English.

I’ve even gone all the way back to the oldest manuscripts we have from 200 AD, and yes, it’s salvation by grace there too.

It’s saved by grace. Period. No works, no ‘saved by Torah,’ no ‘saved by obedience.’ Salvation by grace. End of story. Period. Reject that and you reject all of Scripture.

.
Face reality, the Greek is a translation done by Pharisees.

The original is Hebrew in every NT book.

Even in the Greek, salvation in every case is through the righteousness of Yehova resulting from willing obedience to the commandments of the Father.

The grace will be applied to those that endure in that gift of righteousness to the end.

Do not return to your vomit like a dog, but be determined to endure. (2Peter)

Do not be fooled by the sweet lies.
