Trent unambiguously states that satisfaction is made to God through the works of penance and that through these works men redeem their sins, such a construct is antithetical to the Gospel of Christ, and an insult to His precious Blood.

Amen. Would that they had ears to hear and eyes to see.

Yes, but in the natural state, the natural man seeks his own righteousness, being afflicted with the nature of Adam to be his own god, and therefore the sole arbiter of what is good and evil.

God has a court prepared for those who deny the sufficiency of Christ's Blood in which they can make their case for having atoned for the sins Christ did not cover.

Sometimes I imagine that in that final court, James may very well be called as a witness whereby he cites James 2:10, testifying that they are infinitely guilty and that it will take infinity to atone for just one sin.

lol. Now that's even more harsh than the Three Strikes law.

And yet it's all in the Bible in black and white so that none can say he is without excuse...

"Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.

Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God." -- 1 Corinthians 4:1-5
