Boasted in their

Lutero said:
Yes, no different than those in Matt. 7 who called Him Lord, and boasted in their works, yet were told to depart, I NEVER KNEW YOU...
Jesus only KNOWS His sheep.

1. Jesus knows everything and everyone. He is speaking metaphorically here in the sense of friendship. Jesus means to say, "I never knew you as friends."
2. Jesus only saves those who obey His Word:

Hebrews 5:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

3. Faith is a work. Therefore those who boast of faith alone boast of their work.

John 6:29
King James Version (KJV)
²⁹Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Scripture refutes you yet again....
For by grace you have been saved THROUGH FAITH....

On the contrary. That says nothing about faith "alone" unless you add that to the Scripture.

More out of context Scritpure....Paul is speaking of Jews attempting to be justified by the law.

St. Paul is speaking to Jew and Gentile.

Romans 2
King James Version (KJV)
2 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
2 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
3 And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?
4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?
5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

That doesn't even make sense.

To you.

1 Corinthians 2:14
But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
