All the scriptures that say 'believe', they do not nullify the scriptures that say 'obey'.
Faith must be alive and not dead. Living faith is faith with obedience.
James 2:14, 17, 20, 22, 24; 2 Peter 3:16, 17.

An “unbeliever” is someone who does not believe in Jesus; therefore, cannot and will NOT obey Jesus.
So, how many sins did you forget to repent of today? You do remember that sin you committed the first thing this morning, right? How about that sin 20 years ago? Are you sure you repented of that one also?

Correct, because the scriptures that salvation is by faith and works are addressed to the Nation of Israel, NOT the Body of Christ.
Only for the Nation of Israel.
Notice how you quote Peter and James, and not Paul? You are trying to be a part of the Nation of Israel, and you are not part of the Body of Christ.

Talking to BELIEVERS, not to UNbelievers.
Taking verses out of its original context simply creates a pretext.

Peter spoke of Paul and DID NOT say, "But Paul preaches another gospel." NO. Peter says people misunderstand Paul, and then he warns us to obey.

Those people who are saying with their mouth, "Jesus is Lord", they had better be obeying...
Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?
Matthew 7:21
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven.

However, you DEMAND that UNbelievers can obey, when an UNbeliever is one that does not believe in Jesus and His finished work on the Cross of Calvary.
You are stuck in the Kingdom gospel, the Old Covenant. You obeying does nothing to save you, now hush

NONE of the books in the Bible were written to UNbelievers, you who so vociferously and boastfully say you know the word of God.
John 7:17 -- If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
and it has absolutely nothing to do with my salvation, I could NOT lift an atom (maybe there's a smaller molecule) to DO anything to be SAVED.
Salvation is EXCLUSIVELY from God to an undeserving, puny one such as myself. That is why God calls it 'a gift' in His word. You cannot work for a gift; otherwise, it would not be called a gift.
Now, you, gt, can continue to obey to get saved and reject His gift.
