Colossians 2:6-10. By the grace of God I am complete in Christ, and therefore have the only true foundation (1 Corinthians 3:11). You may build on it with prayers to Mary and to saints if you wish, but I think you will find that those very prayers will be part of the wood, hay and straw spoken of in v.12.

So then what a
I do not have to hold to any one denomination since I am simply Christian and can cross over the lines which divide them all, PRIDE! I have found though some denominations hold more gems then others.
The scriptures are profitable for making doctrines. That is why I say I am nondenominational and simply Christian. I can find precious gems in different denominations. It is like a treasure hunt and I am a gold digger admittedly . I think God has made my Christian life interesting, when I find a treasure in the field of denominations I put it in my treasure chest. So , what beef do you have with other denominations outside of the one you align yourself with? -

Justification comes through works, which shows ones faith.
jus·ti·fi·ca·tion
/ˌjəstəfəˈkāSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: justification
- 1.
the action of showing something to be right or reasonable. - 2.
Theology
(the action of declaring) or making righteous in the sight of God. - 3.
James 2:20O foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is worthless?e 21Was not our father Abraham (justified) by what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22You see that his faith was working with his actions, and his faith was perfected by what he did. 23And the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness, and he was called a friend of God. 24As you can see, a man is justified by his deeds and not by faith alone.
That is when men are justified , when they do the work of confessing Christ as their Saviour, Faith and Works!
Your turn...... - 1.

My money is on: ( YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THE SCRIPTURE IS SPEAKING OF THAT YOU POSTED!)
You know what...., I will say what it means , I have no time for poppycock attempts .
Here let me stand for ALL the APOSTLES , My brothers who do not contradict one another.
Do you pray before you try to interpret the Word? If the Holy Spirit were guiding you , you would not divide the Word.
It is clear you do not love the Word Of God . It is just like the two women in the story of Solomon. Each lay claim of the Child(This symbolizes Christ and it upholds Rev.12) as all scripture upholds the other.
The one who really DID NOT Truly love THE CHILD was willing to divide him. The one who TRULY loved the child would rather surrender ownership than see the child harmed and divided because it would cause the death of the child=loss of life. You act like you own the Word and you have authority over Christ. How? Because you divide the word as if it is yours to divvy up!
The ownership: to give up your claim of OWNERSHIP OVER THE WORD, which the child represents is to allow the KING (God) who decides who has ownership, TRULY. It is self sacrifice, humility, charity , TRUE LOVE which entitles holding and keeping the WORD.
Abraham's Justification by Faith Romans 4:1-12
(Genesis 15:1-7; Galatians 3:1-9; Hebrews 11:8-19; James 2:14-26)
1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, (AS PERTAINING TO THE FLESH), hath found? 2For if Abraham were justified by works (again pertaining to the flesh), he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3For what saith the scripture? (Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness).
4Now to him that worketh (ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, LIKE THE RABBIS ) is the reward not reckoned of grace(Grace of salvation, CHRIST which if you do not believe in is not reckoned of GRACE), but of debt. 5But to him that worketh not (he who knows it is not by man's power, that he be saved but by the grace of God), but believeth(HAVE FAITH) on Him (Christ) that justifieth the ungodly , his faith is counted for righteousness. 6Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, (such as the WORKS that the RABBIS do).
7Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. (Your iniquities are forgiven by Christ, you are covered by Christ.)
When are you covered by Christ? When you ACCEPT Christ at your Yes and confess Christ as Lord and Savior, this is the Faith and Works of James 2. not the works (like the Rabbis perform who reject Christ).
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also?(Work of the FLESH, READ IN COMPLETE CONTEXT THE SCRIPTURES)
for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. 10How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision,(FLESH) but in uncircumcision (FAITH). 11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised (GENTILE); that righteousness might be imputed unto them also: 12And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.

Better go back to OZ scarecrow the one who calls himself Yeshua1. For the Yeshua who is the 1 who gave you a brain, is no wizard. You are full of straw from the hay you eat from your false denominational fathers. Keep sticking with your wizards and fire will always consume you, for it is clear God (Yeshua) is not your Lord!
