“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.
I did quote Scripture for my position in Matt 12:32. It wasn't just my own opinion.
Salvation is free and easy...
Tell that to the martyrs...
... because God offers it for free and delights in the finished work of His Son.
Yet we are the Body of Christ and our work is not finished. It could be that another answer is needed.
