What's with the idea that God makes the down payment but we're responsible for the mortgage payments??? Don't they get it that it is WE who are the purchased and the Holy Spirit is given as God's guarantee that He will complete the deal?

I know. It’s beyomd me. The more I learn of catholicism the less it looks like Christianity.

I guess some people are considering that salvation is something we purchase from God and it's our part to pay for it.

Well and truly stated! I like the mortgage analogy, a lot!

If God puts down the down payment and guarantees the deal will go through, it HAS to, else God is a liar. If HE promised the rest is forthcoming, it is, and NOTHING can stop that.
People who claim otherwise are basically making God out to be a liar.
