Rome allows for justification by faith without works

Phase 2: pretend to not understand the issue and instead argue something unconnected to it logically; in short, play dumb. Using long sentences with complicated structure helps in that mimicry.

See explanation of phases of Protestant obfuscation here.

pretend to not understand the issue

See, this is why your "apologetic" must fail. That is a patently false accusation. I have understood it exactly the way Daniel understands it. This understanding is both honest, and I believe friendlier to the text. Do you honestly think God will bless a ministry founded on false accusation? Yes, we disagree. The disagreement is REAL. We really SEE it the way we're saying it. There is no pretense here. I urge you to reconsider this approach. It violates the rules of the forum (making it personal) and it violates common decency, without which you have no chance of making a case with fair-minded individuals. Not that I want you to. Your system is fatally defective. Who I am sad for are the lurkers. There might be atheists, or Muslims, or literal pagans looking over these pages. I am embarrassed on their behalf that such vile discourse is associated in any way with the name of Christ.
