Well, I was a "confirmed Catholic" and I am not ignorant of the Holy Scriptures. I'd like to hear how you "discuss" the contradiction/misuse of the Scriptures you posted that I presume you think defend (they really don't) the idea that grace saves us but our works are what we will be judged worthy to merit heaven. Like I said, I was a Catholic and I know what I was taught and I know what the Catechism still says. If our works justify us before God, then our works are what saves us. But Scripture repeatedly states that we are saved by the grace of God through faith and NOT by our works. Are you really ready to withstand correction or am I disqualified because I left Roman Catholicism?
Well, in my mind BB, you are eminently qualified to interpret, oops, sorry, explain scripture, especially the plan of salvation, which is by GRACE ONLY. I say again: GRACE ONLY. Now BB, I suspect that many Catholics (not all, of course) have already disqualified you, and especially all of us us ex Catholics. In their eyes, we are accused. That’s OK with me. I am not bothered by that, even in the slightest. 👍
Keep preaching, and interpreting, oops, sorry, explaining scripture. 😇
Yes. Of course you are. This is the reason I am here to correct plain error or to answer sincere questions, but I am not interested in what opinions non-Catholics might have.
