Let's put aside the scriptures for now. Let me ask you a question. Faith is a gift from God. How can we be justified by faith alone when faith is a gift from God? Think about that for a second. 

When God makes Tom believe that God wants him to part some of his money to the church, according to you, Tom is already considered righteous because he believes God wants him to do that. But what happen if Tom didn't do it out of miserliness? Is he still righteous? Surely you must say no.

So, simple logic will tell you that believing alone will not be the justification.

Now you want me to throw the scriptures away and argue on your terms...
If you judge solely on works...then those who committed crimes and evils have no chance to make it right....they will be condemned!
