I harp on Roman Catholicism without being a Calvinist

A friend and I were talking yesterday about celebrating Lent. We both agreed we don’t need Lent. Jesus’ sacrifice is enough. My sacrifice would never be added to His because of my sin. The sacrifice I could ever give is my living my life the way Jesus wants me to. I don’t approve of the way we are looking to Roman Catholicism for what we should be celebrating at Resurrection time.

So, you've got the whole sin thing licked, huh?

Congratulations!
