“I utterly reject the unBiblical proposition your post contains.”
Your post consists in its entirety of drivel so illogical as to repudiate sanity itself. In it, you contradict even your own earlier syllogism, “Unnecessary, ergo nonexistent.”
“His Grace isn’t “minimum.’ ”
You are the one who argued that it is, when you argued that the Immaculate Conception must be a false dogma because it is “…unnecessary for salvation...” In so arguing, you are positing a limen, a threshold above which things are necessary for salvation, and below which they are not. If we agree that God has provided at least those Graces that are necessary, that limen is the minimum.
“Yet, your post attempts to sneak some good old fashioned paganism into the equation and make the amazing gift of God seem parsimonious.”
The well-known servant of Satan V. I. Lenin said, “Accuse others of what you do.” My note chided you for just what you accuse me of in this note. I am not the one who argues that dogma must be false because it fails to rise to a limen of necessity that I myself tried to call into being.
You are the one who wrote “unnecessary for salvation,” not I. You are the one who writes that anything not rising to this limen is false, not I. You are the one who accuses God of parsimony, not I.
“Please rethink your non-Biblical assertions.”
Please rethink…well, everything you “know.”
Start with the notion that any man could know what is or is not necessary for any other man’s salvation.
“Start with the notion that any man could know what is or is not necessary for any other man’s salvation.”
We know what He revealed. Salvation is always by faith in Christ. The rest is man-made paganism.
