I am with you on turning away from sin and repenting when one asks Jesus Christ to come into their lives. I do not refute scripture, I’m only saying that both old and new testaments are part of the same bible and must BOTH be taken into context and are BOTH relevant. Zechariah 4:6 “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” Ephesians 2:8,9 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.
