Do you need better evidence that you are not amongst the "few" who will find the "narrow way"?
Do you need better evidence it was you He warned when He said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say unto me, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."?
Do you need more evidence that your egotistical excuses have led you astray from His instructions?
Your ego may try to deny His instruction to "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." (Matthew 5:48), but that does not change His instruction nor the consequences of ignoring it.
You limit yourselves by gainsaying His wisdom.

""Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven."
Even with this you insist it is not by works but by grace alone? Gainsaying Jesus will not get you into heaven.

Isaiah 64:6 You may not have noticed, but I only use the four Gospels.

How about this? I just gave Supastar a thumbs up. The misquotation you made is 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Christ as Lord in YOUR hearts, always ready to make a defense before everyone that demands of YOU a reason for the hope in YOU, but doing so together with a mild temper and deep respect." It is talking about making a defense for why you believe the Bible teachings. Not about $10.

There are few of us true Christians here, but we do exist and obey God's Word, and we have God's Holy Spirit within us to guide us.
We have no ego like you do, for we have surrendered our ego to the Will of God when we accepted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

If works make us perfect, we're REALLY in trouble.
The same Scripture you think you're quoting says that our righteousness is as filthy rags to our Holy God.
So, based on YOUR reasoning, NO ONE gets into Heaven...

You even assume it is his wisdom. The stuff attributed to Jesus was written decades after he died, if he even existed.
