Your faith is dead!
Faith alone is dead. See James 2:14, 17, 20, and 22.

I never said anything like what you are saying and neither does Rom 5:19The verse I quoted and this are identical. He did it all by His Obedience.
Instead of God seeing you when you come to Him, He sees Jesus' obedience.
The metaphors of the cloak is describing this.

John 6
28 “What can we do to perform the works of God?” they asked.
29 Jesus replied, “This is the work of God—that you believe in the One He has sent.”

Faith alone started the Protestant reformation from the dead works gospel of Catholicism.
ALL the scriptures that say we are to 'believe'---those scriptures do NOT nullify the scriptures that say obey.
Faith alone is a false doctrine as taught by the many, and Catholicism is false.
Show the scripture that says what you say.
How do you ever get that God does not see us? Please show me the scripture that says that, and if it does not say that, will you admit you merely repeat the things false teachers say?
Faith alone is your mother that you need to bow down to and show obeisance.

It demands absolute and total perfection. Anything less than total perfection is sin.
The Jews took the ordinances and the commandments and composed over 600 rules and laws for holy living that they called the Torah. Little did they know that they had just scratched the surface. If one took all of the ordinances and the commandments and really looked at what is required to keep the law, instead of hundreds of laws and rules it would be more like thousands. The Law of Moses involves ever facet of ones life, from the time that you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night everything is dictated by law.
On the Sabbath you cannot do any work. Many Jews will not move a chair or open a drawer on the Sabbath because that is considered to be work. "Six days shalt thou labor, and do thy work, but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thou son, nor thou daughter, thy manservant, nor thou maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is with thy gates" Exodus 20:9, 10.
I have heard that some Jews will not get out of bed on the sabbath, because throwing the covers off of the bed to get up is considered to be work. I would say that putting your clothes on would also be work. Now about tying your shoes? The possibilities are endless.
Jesus said, "Be perfect even as you Father in heaven is perfect" Matthew 5:48. Are you perfect? What many do not understand is that the law is spiritual, Romans 7:14. It searches the desires and the intent of the heart, Hebrews 4:12. Are all of your thoughts pure and without sin? Not mine. When Paul looked into the spiritual aspect of the law he confessed, "For I know that in me (that is in my flesh) dwells no good thing" Romans 7:18. It was because of the law that Paul also confessed that he was "The Chief of Sinners" 1 Timothy 1:15.
The purpose of the law is to show us that we fail to measure up to God's standards, Romans 3:23 and that we are in desperate need of savior. The law is our schoolmaster that brings us to Christ, Galatians 3:24. If the law doesn't make you run to Christ to escape the judgment that is to come upon those that are under the law, I doubt if anything will.
I came here expecting a group of people that wouldn't argue and bicker. But instead I see myself arguing and bickering.
Ugggg
Disgusted in myself.
I embrace all as my Family. I refuse to invalidate a single persons stance on God here and recognize what each of you are saying.
Much Love, and regret for stirring the pot.
May the Lord unify us all in Love of Him and one another. May our differences not define our disunity, but our unity. May our Father of Fathers teach us each according to His will for each of us.
What ever you claim as belief, may we all be unified by the Prince of Peace.
I acknowledge that each of you have excellent points that deserve respect and are children of God searching.
I acknowledge that my being right or wrong is not important, but merely part of this blessed gift of life, learning and hunger to know God better each day.
It is not a hard work, it is light and easy and not burdensome.
There is nothing I would rather do than obey God.

Only this:
Micah 6:8
8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
