> He outlines salvation as an economy of mortal deeds
Yet literally gives you a parable which directly validates deathbed confessions. Parable of the Master and the Vineyard.
> striving for virtue
The same parable tells you God is the only one who can judge souls and that he wants all souls to return to heaven. Virtue seems to be measured in how many souls you've saved.
So, it's fairly confusing to me, to take a stance, that you can judge your enemies and then sentence them to death.
God wants your soul. He doesn't care about your life. You shouldn't either. At least, that's what I take away from Jesus' parables.
