"This passage is not discussing "faith v works" as we Christians do, but is contrasting the Old and New Covenants.

If you misread this one verse, what are we to make of the rest of your writings?"

Ah, but Dave - you are forgetting to read the scriptures through the prism of the Institutes of the Christian Religion written by one J. Calvin.

Don't you know that his writings trump all Apostles, Popes, Patriarchs, Councils, synods, saints, martyrs, liturgy and Tradition throughout the whole of Christian history?

Scripture is so simple if you remember that one small principle - sola Calvina.

Ah, a post seething in sarcasm. The last desperate defense of one who has no real rebuttal.

Though, I will give you this: Calvin's writings are far superiour to the writings of almost all the Popes. And I don't care what throne upon which they were seated when pronouncing them.

As opposed to...sola Rome via sola Pappa + keeping the Church LAWS ( NOT BY THE WORD OF THE LAW)

Tanto, how about a reasoned response to OP's presentation?

Others may take pot shots, but you usually deal with substance. This reply is both untrue and non responsive.
