Evidently, according to your post — you don’t have Matthew in your Bible? Is that true?
Or St. Paul? st. Paul is always talking about the grace of God.
Who is St. Paul? Is that one of the guys in your secret Rome clubhouse? Is he one of the guys that manufactures all of the conditions and directions and instructions that one must do to acquire the “grace” your group speaks of?
I am aware of Paul of Tarsus, who was called to be an apostle, set aside from his mother’s womb (predestined), the writer of much of what we call the New Testament. Nowhere in his writings does he call himself St. Paul, so you must mean someone else. Paul of the Bible teaches grace is the free gift God gives to His elect, those whom God chose before the foundation of the world. Ephesians, Romans, Galatians. Check those writings...they are better by far than what the Roman organization has peddled.
And, yes, I have a Matthew in my Bible. In my Bible there is a particular passage which says, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” If one reads the entire passage, Jesus is referring to the impossibility of men doing enough “religion” to save themselves. However, Jesus says, if God decides to save you, any man can be rescued. Surely, you didn’t mean to use 1/2 of the verse as a tag line, did you?
