HD-***Funny, I don’t believe Paul ever said Jesus was wrong.***

MarkBsnr-We never said that.

Please refer back to post #438

We said that the Reformed theology is wrong and it is based upon a misunderstanding of Scripture entirely, but mostly a misunderstanding of Paul.

Those who know me and have been here for some time knows that I don't take my Reformed theology from the Reformers; I take it from Augustine. A careful reading of scriptures and an openess of heart confirms everything the Reformers state.

I'll ask you my standard two questions that Augustine was asked that led him to this truth.

Who gave you your faith?

If you can look inside yourself and answer those questions honestly with all the ramifications that it implies, you will be a Reformer. I haven't found any Catholics (and few Protestants) willing to admit the true answer to these questions.

Okay:

***Paul didn’t have a problem telling Peter, James, and John they were wrong and stood condemned.***

So Paul is entirely right, and Peter, James, John, and Jesus are entirely wrong?

You guys are entirely funny. The misunderstanding of Paul trumps the words of Jesus.

We never said that Paul ever said that Jesus was wrong. I’ll let that stand.

Read my tagline. That is a quote from St. Augustine. Do you agree with him there?

***Who gave you the ability to repent?
Who gave you your faith?***

By the Grace of God alone, we have the ability to repent. Without Grace, we cannot.

God gave us our faith.

Funny, I don’t feel any different.

AMEN... It really is just as simple as that.

To God belongs ALL the glory.
