Yes it does. It aids our relationship with God. But God is not alienating himself from anybody because of sin. He alienates himself from those who choose to do wicked things, and if they "get born again" through faith in Christ, and don't show forth the fruits of repentance, that is, they continue in their wicked ways, God hides himself from them, even if they have all kinds of "faith in Christ."
Sinners are not alienated from God, and therefore don't need to be reconciled to God. God never left them. God does not condemn them. God just wants to set them free from the bondage of sin by eliminating the sin. THAT'S the salvation Jesus brought, first to the House of Israel, then to the nations.
Faith in Christ is a wonderful gift and certainly part of God's plan to make man in His image, but it isn't the only way to be in right standing with God. You can do what it says in the Sermon on the Mount without ever hearing of Christ or by following the teachings of Mohammed that say the same thing. "Blessed are the peacemakers" works for Christians, Jews, Muslims, and atheists alike.

I think the End Times already happened. The "sword" was Rome. The result was elimination of the temple and priesthood.

God does not ask from us the absolutely impossible. I'm not sure what you are saying here but if you believe in eternal security, sometimes called once saved always saved, you are in conflict with God's Word

Nope.
Jesus will tell us in the last day.

tell us what? That it is a false belief? He's already told us that, in the Bible (not to mention common sense)

No, she means Jesus will tell you if you made it or not.

He will tell us whether we are saved or not.

I believe what the Bible says, 1 John 5:7. "And these three are one".

No, actually you are "in conflict with God's word" as those who have trusted the Lord after hearing and believing the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation are saved and sealed (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV, Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV). Check it!

Look at the gospel perverter welcoming someone who opposes himself.

No, she doesn't. She rejects Paul's gospel and apparently so do you.

He already told you in His word what the power of God to save you is (Romans 1:16 KJV) and you believe not (2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV). You have no hope outside of Paul's gospel (Romans 2:16 KJV).
