"You must take up your cross and follow Him or else you will be Judged accordingly. Do you now see the evil of Reformed theology?"

There are so many errors in this entire post, I hardly know where to begin. But, I will help you with just one of the many gigantic errors of Roman Catholicism. It is the same error that the Reformers argued against in an attempt to free the enslaved of Europe: You don't do what you try to teach others to do.

Rome suffers the same error that Judaizers of old did. Acts 15, they thought they were doing the Law and that the Gentiles should be taught to do the same. Peter corrects them, after he himself had been rebuked by Paul for the same error (Galatians). But, "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are." Rome has been doing this for centuries and cannot seem to hear Peter (in spite of claiming he is their first pope).

So Paul explains exactly what became of the Law and the "doing" that you now advocate.

"But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is reckoned as rigtheousness."

The RCC is sometimes subtle in their error, sometimes blatant. When confronted, they say this isn't taught. Next thing you turn around...there it is: Part and parcel of salvation.

What do you think of this?

Pay special attention to canons 3-8, 16, and 18.

Let us just agree that there is so much of Jesus in this post, that a Calvinist is entirely out of his depth.

Rome suffers the same error that Judaizers of old did. Acts 15, they thought they were doing the Law and that the Gentiles should be taught to do the same. Peter corrects them, after he himself had been rebuked by Paul for the same error (Galatians). But, "Now therefore why do you put God to the test by placing upon the neck of the disciples a yoke which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are." Rome has been doing this for centuries and cannot seem to hear Peter (in spite of claiming he is their first pope).

The Beatitudes will stand, regardless of Calvin. Matthew 25 will stand, regardless of Calvin. The Judgement of All by Jesus on their conduct will stand regardless of Calvin.

So Paul explains exactly what became of the Law and the "doing" that you now advocate.

I follow Jesus, not a kaleidoscope vision of Paul.

The RCC is sometimes subtle in their error, sometimes blatant. When confronted, they say this isn't taught. Next thing you turn around...there it is: Part and parcel of salvation.

Matthew 25. Love it and embrace it, or be Judged by it. You cannot hide behind the Reformers when you are face to face with Almighty God and are confronted with the verses that you claim to read and understand.
