According to his what? …belief? faith? trust? knowledge? understanding? feelings?
No.
According to his deeds.
The reward of the Master is based on our deeds not our belief.
Did you believe? Good. But did you do what you believe?
That is the difference between faith and emuna.
And what the Master’s brother Jacob (James) was trying to say to us later on in his letter to the tribes of Israel.
Believing without doing is death.
You believe? Good. Now do the deeds in accordance with that belief.
Question Everything
When we say Question Everything, we mean EVERYTHING.
Starting with anything we say.
And yes, there very well might be something we post that’s intentionally off from true north.
Why? To see who is actually going to Question Everything.
Is this then irrational? Is it irresponsible?
Is that part of “everything”? Then perhaps you should question that aswell.
Any teacher, organization, authority of any kind can err. They can know just enough details of a matter to be dangerous. They can be ignorant but sound educated or they can be flat out lying yet very convincing.
It can get downright damnable out there learning from those who have the biggest platforms and the most money and power and reach, yet ill intentions or excellent intentions with limited knowledge and understanding of their subject matter.
So yes, sometimes we will intentionally share something that is slightly off, always accompanied by the directive to Question Everything.
Will you blindly like and share? Will you blindly ignore? Or will you actually, Question Everything?
It’s far better to do so here than to run into the test with the masses of ultracrepidarian ministries out their with massive funding and massive platforms and the means to sway the minds of the masses.
We must learn to be attentive and intentional in everything we see and hear and experience. And we must start here.

Did God redeem us so we could do as we please for all eternity, or does He have a greater purpose for us? Assuming He does have such a purpose for us all, then we should probably put more emphasis on learning about that purpose, and about how to live it now so we'll be better prepared for eternity.

Most people today don’t consider the importance of a door or a gate. Genesis 43:19, “ So the brothers went to the servant in charge of Joseph’s house. They spoke to him at the door of the house.” The door of a home or the gate to a city was very important in past centuries because it separated the known from the unknown. Today the way we travel cities don’t usually have gates, instead they have signs posted to let travelers know where the boundaries of the city begins. Some places in the world continue to severely restrict travelers from entering a city freely, they remain gated and guarded. Most homes have doors which are securely locked when the occupants go to bed. These gates and doors distinguish the difference between what we think of as a safe place and the possible danger of what is on the other side.

English bibles don't substitute God for YHVH, they use LORD for that, following a similar pattern.
We who use the Names properly do so out of reverence and to be more correct. When we make us stuff about the Names that's clearly incorrect, it cheapens our efforts to spread the Gospel more accurately. Chag Sameach Shalom.
