I suppose you think it would be better to be a child molestor relying on the grace of the Divine.
I don’t. We differ on that.
“I suppose you think it would be better to be a child molestor relying on the grace of the Divine.

What we actually differ on is the source of good works in the elect, who are taken from a state of profound rebellion, and quickened by the Holy Spirit, by whom the Father conforms us into the image of His Son, working in us “both to will and to do of his good pleasure.” (Php 2:13, Eph 2:1-5) You believe that you are virtuous in and of yourself, and that your works please God and merit heaven, when, in reality, no works done outside of faith is pleasing to God. “For whatsoever is not of faith is sin” (Rom 14:23).
If you really believe that you are “good,” and that this good arises from your own willing and working, and not God who works in you, then odds are you’ll burn right next to that child molester as the reward for your “good” works.
