These threads have shown me just how far the Roman Catholic church is from the Scriptural understanding of Christ's atonement.
His righteousness is what saves us; not our own. His obedience is what earns God's mercy; not our own. His suffering the punishment due our sins is what acquits us; not our own. His blood cleanses us, not our own.
And He does this perfectly and irrevocably because it is by the will of God.
I showed you a very clear scripture that says otherwise. Here is another:
[I, Paul] rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church (Col 1:24)
