Do I need to evangelize you?

You had the opportunity to present The Gospel and you wouldn't do it. None of the other RC posters I asked did it either. I understand because so much of what has been added over the years by your magesterium and Popes contradicts The Gospel.

It's okay though, all you have to do is believe and everything else will fall into place.

Says who? I'm happy to do it, but my Gospel has a little more meat on it than your three sentence slogan.

That's just really sad.

I don't think even Luther would recognize or endorse your easy-believism Gospel.

Tell me this. In Romans 1:5, Paul writes that he has received grace and apostleship to bring about the "obedience of faith" among all the nations. In Romans 16:26, at the very end of the book he sounds the same note "the revelation of the mystery ... made known to all nations ... to bring about the obedience of faith".

What is the "obedience of faith"?

Don't say, "it's faith". If Paul had meant just "faith," meaning merely the mental acceptance of a set of doctrinal propositions, he would have said so.

You are being cheated. We have the endless riches of the fullness of the true Gospel. You are entitled to it, it's your rightful inheritance, and you don't even want it. That's what Luther has done for you.
