8. "Matthew 7: 21; John 14: 21; John 15: 10-14"
Matt's paragraph:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

John's paragraph:

Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”

and John's 2nd paragraph:

If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command.


So he did mention this while alive. Now if Christians are supposed to go by that, why are fundies and others avoiding it? Why are they stuck on the Torah?
