I never believed I was saved by works alone. THat's actually a defined heresy, condemned by the Council of Carthage in 416 and 418.

I believe I AM saved by a living faith in Jesus Christ Our Lord.


"Bootstrapping" refers to "putting yourself up by your own bootstraps," an impossible task.

Well, I finally found something you and I agree on. Is this an historic moment? 😁😆 You are right, it is a TOTALLY impossible task. I did, however, believe that in the past. 👎

I thought the Romans wiped Carthage off the face of the map. Did someone rebuild it? 😁😆🤣🤗

Did you ever believe you were saved by Faith along in Christ alone? Dodge and weave, weave and dodge, parsing as you go, merrily merrily merrily merrily null is all you’ll know.
