Sorry, you are doing precisely what the Galatian Christians did. You get people saved, and then attempt to put them back under the law.
This part is close:
"In
Ephesians 2:8-10, we are new creations in Christ to do good works, so while it denies that we can earn our salvation by our works lest anyone should boast, doing good works is nevertheless still an integral part of our salvation."
Paul spoke about multiple different categories of law other than the Law of God, such as works of the law and the law of sin, and while he spoke against those other categories of law, he was a servant of God who delighted in obeying His law (Romans 7:22), so he never spoke against anyone obeying it. For example, in Romans 3:27, he contrasted a law of works with a law of faith, and in Romans 7:25-8:2, he contrasted the Law of God with the law of sin and contrasted the Law of the Spirit of Life with the law of sin and death, so it is important to correctly identify which law he was saying that we aren't under. In Romans 6:14, Paul describe it as being a law where sin had dominion us over, which does not describe the Law of God, which is a law where holiness, righteousness, and goodness have dominion over us, but rather it is the law of sin where sin had dominion over us. In Romans 6:15, being under grace does not mean that we are permitted to sin, and sin is the transgression of the Law of God (1 John 3:4), so we are still under it, but are not under the law of sin. Furthermore, everything else in Romans 6 speaks in favor of obedience to God and against sin, such as 6:19-23, where we are no longer to present ourselves as slaves to impurity, lawlessness, and sin, but are now to present ourselves as slaves to God and to righteousness leading to sanctification, so Paul should not be interpreted as warning us against obeying what God has commanded as if obedience to God were somehow a negative thing.
However, the bottom line is that we must obey God rather than man, so when God has commanded something and you think that Paul was an enemy of God who spoke against obeying Him, then it should not be difficult to figure out who has the higher authority and which one we should follow. In other words, we should be quicker to disregard everything that Paul has said than to disregard anything that God has commanded, but the reality is that Paul was a servant of God who never spoke against anyone obeying anything that God has commanded, so it does not need to come down to that.
I agree that once a man is born again, he is then capable of walking in love. But if a man can be lost by the law after he is saved, then it can only be he is under the law and subject to the law.
For all intents and purposes, he has become a Jew. There is no practical difference between his walk, and the walk of an unconverted Jew.
Jesus is a Jew, so Christianity is a religion based on following what Christ taught by word and by example, so you should have no problems with living as a Jew, though that is not the same as becoming a Jew. Jesus did not come to start his own religion, but rather he was a Jew who set a perfect example of how to practice Judaism by living in sinless obedience to the Torah, and he came as the Jewish Messiah in fulfillment of Jewish prophecy. He spent his ministry teaching his followers how to practice Judaism by word and by example. In Acts 21:20, they were rejoicing that tens of thousand of Jews were coming to faith who were all zealous for Torah, which was in accordance with believing in what Jesus accomplished through the cross (Titus 2:14), so Jews coming to faith were not ceasing to obey it. This means that there was a period of time in between the resurrection of Jesus and the inclusion of Gentiles in Acts 10 that is estimated to be around 7-15 years during which Christianity was mainly composed of Torah observant Jews, so Christianity at its origin was the form of Judaism that recognized Jesus as its prophesied Messiah.
I think you are mistakenly equating "good works" with "the law." Yes, we all called to good works which are the natural result of a new nature. And yes, people should be commended for holiness and righteousness, but that is not what saved us.
Thank you for the discussion.
In 2 Timothy 3:15-17, Paul referred to Scriptures that Timothy had available to him since childhood and at the time of his childhood none of the books of the NT had yet been written, so he could have only been referring to the books of OT Scripture as being profitable for teaching, correction, reproof, training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped to do every good work. All of these descriptors are in regard to our code of conduct and the code of conduct in the OT is the Mosaic Law, so that is what he was primarily referring to, so it is God's instructions for how to do good works. For example, when Jesus said in Matthew 5:13-16 to let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven, they would not have understood that as referring to anything other than obeying the Mosaic Law.
While we do not earn our salvation by our good works as a wage, that does not mean that we are not saved by doing them because there are many verses that show that they are required, such as Romans 2:6-7, Romans 2:13, Romans 6:19-23, Ephesians 2:10, Titus 2:11-14, Matthew 7:21-23, Matthew 19:17, Luke 10:25-28, James 2:17-14, Hebrews 5:9, and Revelation 22:14. So there must be a reason why our salvation requires us to choose to do good works other than in order to earn it as a wage, such as faith (Romans 3:31).
