Salvation is by GOD's grace and mercy alone... works never save, but rather are a result of salvation.

"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." - Isaiah 64:6

"Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone" - Romans 9:32

"Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." -Galatians 2:16

Ideally there should be confession to GOD first, then to one another and then forgiveness... ideally! By GOD's grace it is possible... for with GOD all things are possible (Matthew 19:26)

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." - James 5:16

"And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." - Ephesians 4:32 (Also Colossians 3:13)

4. Now, confess him as your Lord and Savior.

Romans 10: 9-10

+++

The intent may be commendable, but it is good and important for us to share the truth / the gospel properly.

Only GOD can truly make a person born again by giving him/her eternal life in the spirit by the HOLY SPIRIT (John 3:5-7, Galatians 4:6) through the hearing of the word of GOD (Romans 10:17), according to HIS perfect will (Romans 9:15-16, Ephesians 1:11) Therefore, we would do well to cry out to GOD for HIS mercies because "The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy." - (Psalm 145:8 )

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:12-13

"No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44

To think that we can just unilaterally make a few statements and we are all set is not the gospel of the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - as such would be our work, but salvation is by grace alone.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9

"For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad." - 2 Corinthians 5:10 (Also Psalm 62:12)

"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." - Matthew 5:38-49

To idolize is to "admire, revere, or love greatly or excessively."... as though they can do no wrong, and in talking about them excessively.

Our focus, if we are the Lord GOD's, is to praise and excessively exalt the Lord JESUS, the CHRIST! The Holy ONE by and through Whom we are redeemed from the second death. May the Lord GOD help by His grace.

The church in Corinth is a good example of this...

"For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other. For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect." - 1 Corinthians 1:11-17

"For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." - 1 Corinthians 3:3-7

"Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

Hi there. I don't think you understand the OP's points. You're quoting from the bible, as proof that the bible is true (whatever that means).

That would be the equivalent of quoting from a Harry Potter novel, as proof that the events in the novel are actually real. As the op said... That's circular reasoning.

You need to first prove objectively that the words contained in the different books of the bible are actually from the supreme creator deity you claim.

Also, i think it's important to note that the bible is a collection of books written by different authors over several centuries. So claiming that one part justifies the rest would also be faulty logic.

So... 2 things to avoid

1. Saying the bible is true simply because the bible says so.

2. Claiming X part of the bible is true because Y part said so

+++

Read my last response and really think about the word "proven" - do your research please and understand, by GOD's grace.

Your statement is based on a fallacy because the entire Bible is harmonious from cover to cover because it is inspired by the One and Only GOD through a number of prophets!

When you write academically, and to avoid plagiarism do you not quote the references / written works utilized to arrive at your own conclusions... what is the problem with my citing the source - the Holy Bible, and the Authority?!

Having stated all this, the Lord YESHUA Himself says that "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." - John 6:44, so pray for understanding of the heart given by GOD only, otherwise, one will always arrive at square one of unbelief... unto condemnation.

"For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them." - Matthew 13:15

First, this is not personal judgment of any kind – because GOD Himself and Alone Is the Righteous Judge of all (Psalm 75:7) - but rather it is thought-provoking, and a call to repentance!

Who is a hypocrite? A hypocrite is “a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion” and/or “a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings” - Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition.

In objectively assessing ourselves we may find that the “proof is in the pudding”!

How does a nation blessed with so many resources and so much talent... spiral deeper and deeper into problems – economic and otherwise; the root causes perhaps stem from wicked practices (lies, organized kidnappings, bribery, murder, selfishness) – a failure to truly follow and truly serve the One true, Almighty GOD!

Attending religious services and then coming out right after that to practice wicked works can never lead to progress! We have an example of hypocrisy that we should not fall prey to –

He answered and said unto them, well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” - Mark 7:6-7

Furthermore, and at the root of most of this evil - from the top down - that causes national problems is the love of money! “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” - 1 Timothy 6:10

Materialism is idolatry! “Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.” - 1 Corinthians 10:7

We are forewarned – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” – Psalm 9:17

Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.” - Proverbs 14:34

Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD –
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” - Isaiah 1:16-18

You merely provided scriptural citations that do not in any way answer any of the questions I posed. Scriptural citations that could have well been a defense mechanism to protect the Bible's claims to be divinely inspired.

I suppose you would rather I had responded with my own words? If so, why would you want that when I offer in fact and per part of the Holy Scriptures I quoted - the infallible word of GOD - so that you can know what HE declares?!

"For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil." - John 3:17-19

Do you know that from the beginning of time and over all the many centuries and millennia that the prophecies of the Holy Bible have been and are continually fulfilled to the letter in the sight of all mankind? Can man of himself write like this without the revelation of GOD?

"For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." - 2 Peter 1:21

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" - 2 Timothy 3:16

Read the Holy Scriptures, do your research, pray for wisdom, and perhaps by GOD's grace... you will see.

Make no mistake, and...

"Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man that executeth my counsel from a far country: yea, I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it." - Isaiah 46:9-11

"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." - Acts 4:12 even the Lord YESHUA, the CHRIST - the WORD of GOD! (John 1:1)

People make excuses for what others do, for example if their loved ones do something, they try to be lenient, but woe betide their enemies if they do same.
So Why do people have different scale for judging sin?

------

People, since the fall of mankind are flawed and imperfect of themselves... "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" - Jeremiah 17:9

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23

So, is the matter of people's judgment not then irrelevant? ... "For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another." - Psalm 75:6-7

"And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness." - Psalm 9:8 (Also Psalm 96:10, Psalm 96:13, Psalm 98:9)
