Christians are saved by faith alone not by works or obedience to codes of conduct nor to figures in authority Christian faith is the foundation for a perfect economics: it requires no government and uses no fiat money.

Religions are rule based because all those who belong to a religion have to save themselves by their own devices. Materialists for example believe that if they follow the rules of science their lives will infinitely improve.

Christians believe no matter how hard we try we will always fall short of the glory of God. No matter how well written the code no one will live by it.

John 7:19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

One sin is one too many if we are hoping for salvation. To be in God's presence we have to be perfect. Reason tells us that everyone will sin at least once in his or her life. One error is sufficient to separate us from God, forever.

Jas. 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

GAL 3:10 All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." 11 Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary,."

The only way we can be saved is through the intercession of a perfect being. Jesus died for us because it was the only way we could be saved.

Gal 2:16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

Acts 13:39 Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses. 40 Take care that what the prophets have said does not happen to you:

God gave us the law to highlight just how sinful we are. The law proves we cannot follow the law.

Ro. 3:20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Ro. 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.

Codes of conduct are not just impossible to follow they are a contradiction. If moral behavior consisted of obedience to a set of rules computers
