It seems to be well known by everyone here except you, for some reason.
You literally said "yes" when you were asked if you were teaching salvation by works. You have been saying over and over that a "right living person" will not go to hell even if they never even heard of Jesus, because (key word there) they are "doing right".
You have completely missed the boat on the difference between justification by faith and justification by works. You also are ignoring the fact that your view of sin is unbiblical, that you see it as some kind of disease (scurvy, anyone?) rather than as criminality. Even though it has been pointed out to you over and over again. Brother Benincasa is right, you did not want a discussion about your ideas, you just wanted someone to agree with you.
