Crinkle,
My husband says just about the same thing. Are you sure your not talking to him? I asked him where was his assurance? There is none. You mean you don't know if you will make it? Today, I think I will, but who knows about the next day.
He has no concept of grace. No concept of free. He says you must work to show faith. And uses the James script, 'faith without works is dead'. Your conversation sounds exactly like many we have had. Exactly! Never mind ANY of the other scripts that show faith. I have even circled the word faith in my NT thinking if he could see it in a more visual way something might click. However, now so many things are circled, squared, underlined and notes, he doesn't approve I think.
don't hurt your head against that wall,
