You seem to think that somewhere in scripture it states that all righteous acts can be cancelled out be unrighteousness ones.

That's not in scripture.

Maybe you should try righteous acts and removing your unrighteous ones. It is those who practice righteousness who are righteous, just as He is.

I thought this was about the wedding and the wedding garments. Why are you trying to change what we are discussing?

So what are we saved from? (And no, I don't think we are saved from hell)

Sin, or their unrighteous acts.

And why do we need to be saved from that? What happens if we aren't?

Now that I've reminded you of the discussion, what happens if we aren't saved from sin?

I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has wrapped me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Can righteous acts be cancelled out by unrighteous acts?

He will only clothe you with your righteous acts. You keep leaving this out.

For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment; And all of us wither like a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

John 15:3
You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

1 John 2:29
If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone who practices righteousness is born of Him.

1 John 3:7
Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous.

So I ask, are you going to stay unclean? Are your garments going to remain filthy?

Are you relying on your righteous acts to save you?

Jesus says the wedding garment is the righteous acts of the saints. Do you not believe this?

How will you keep from being cast out in your unrighteous acts?

Once again, do you not know a little leaven will leaven the whole lump?
You still aren't answering the question. It's a simple yes or no. If you'd like to expound upon it further after that, then okay. But please be clear.
