rekna, do attend to the quote SMethod posted. it directly goes to the question of faith/works, and challenges your reading of the text.
not to mention, you're also dropping Lebell's comments on Matthew. Matthew 10:40 to 11 is a problem by your theology, and 5:17-20 is a real thorn.
I affirm a steadfast insistance on grace, that it is not human virture that brings salvation. but i hold that grace is the starting note of a new relationship between God and the human. As we continue to recieve grace (charis) how else would we continue that relationship, but by action?
