Sometimes I wonder why I bother. You simply stop up your ears and refuse to engage the conversation with anything but condescension. I’m sick of these straw man threads day after day.
Good day. May God bless you.
“You simply stop up your ears and refuse to engage the conversation with anything but condescension.”
Yet in terms of making an argument you restate as a fact—”Some sins will be atoned in the life to come before our entrance to the banquet”—what the author argues is unbelief in the finished work of Christ.
Your ears are just as closed, you heard nothing from him or Rnmomof7 that would dent your own conception of salvation as still needing completion (vs. being “finished”).
We ALL stop up our ears in this sense, pgyanke. I agree with the author, but in a comment above I level the charge of unbelief at Protestants as well. Salvation is free and easy because God offers it for free and delights in the finished work of His Son. The flesh HATES this and will not abide it, and creates costly complexity to replace it.
Though this is the first one i have seen lately by Gendron, who is not the sane class as James Swan and company, it is not strawmen but Catholic teaching or that which RCs teach that is being refuted.
And the recent regular postings against Cath doctrine came after years of incessant Cath. postings about their elitist church, including anti-Protestant propaganda. Which resulted in RCs whining when reproved. And in response to telling them RCs invited it by their f incessant Cath. posting, some invitated (or challenged) us to post our own. So here they are and yet RCs still whine.
