Nothing to do with finding scripture to prove my position. You have it as backwards as you have good works before the cross, as though works lead us to God, in effect saving us. The truth is the scriptures were laid out to us and we read them and believed them and learned, without an agenda causing us to search for anything to support a predetermined plot, that without the cross everyone is lost. Not just muslims. You are lost, too, without the blood of Jesus. I would be as well. I did not look for that. No man could make that up and then create a desire to find it in the bible. The plan is revealed to us without any conception of what God might do, from His word. And we only relate what we found it said. The road is too narrow for salvation by works.

How is not loving our way toward God not salvation by works? Keep trying to make it about me. It's about God and His work of the cross.
