you seem to think or imply at the Judgment Seat of Christ its only about evangelism. That premise of yours ten went into the foundation and that there is much more to the foundation than evangelism. The works we are judged for are not only about evangelism. I pointed out evangelism was not even in the text. And now we went down this rabbit hole. There is more to the foundation than evangelism. Christ is the foundation which includes all His teachings and that of the Apostles who laid the foundation for the church and its doctrines concerning Christ.
Nit picking? Who more than @Johann nit-picks here? Most of which I thoroughly enjoy.

Are you capable of responding to a post using context?
I don't reply to silly questions.

Here's what the NT teaches about the commandments:
1 John 5:2-3
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
If someone finds Jesus' commandments burdensome,,,he should stop to reflect.

You don't seem to catch the point Presby.
IF God is commanding you to be holy....
this must mean that God does not DECREE you to be holy.....
because IF He was decreeing you to be holy,,,
it would be UNNECESSARY for Him to command it.
IOW,,,YOU are being holy because you WANT to be holy....
NOT because God decreed from the beginning of time that you should be holy.
A simple concept.
No, you missed the point. God commands you to be holy to show your inability to do so. He commands perfect obedience to show your inability to do so and your need for Christ.
A simple concept
So you do not keep His commandments, does this mean you don't love Him?
You just ask them? LOL

Your simple concept is nonsense.
Do YOU tell your 1 year old to climb the stairs so he could find out he can't??
I think he knows he cannot climb those stairs.
Christianity has devolved into some weird belief systems.
When GOD commands something...
He expects you to DO IT.
John 14:15 JESUS SAID
“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
Luke 11:28
But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Matthew 7:21
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Do you not even believe JESUS?

Well, apparently. to YOU they are burdensome.
If you cannot keep the commandments of God...then you apparently do not love Him.
Since you continue to harp on this...it must mean you're really worried.
And you know what happens when you ASSUME things about persons.....
You really should stop it.
So He does expect you to keep the law perfectly. Despite knowing you cannot right?

No comment.
It's impossible to have a conversation with you.
Just more nonsense.
Who did Jesus say is good?
Who has been able to keep all of the Law?

It's right out of the NT.
It's Jesus making the statements, not me.
Like I said...
You don't even trust Jesus.
You did not answer my question. Shocking I know.
Then don't. LOL Who asked you to?
