Where’s “penance?”

The rest is your opinion. Unless you could provide authorized Catholic interpretation of Ezekiel 36 and John 3?

The poster cannot shake the heresy taught in catholiciism that one must earn the right to claim what God gives by His Grace, not our works.

Where’s “penance?”

I highlighted it in bold. Read and meditate on the scripture I posted and it should be obvious.

The rest is your opinion.

Ezekiel is not cited, nor does that scripture in Ezekiel match the Evangelical model alleged in John. All one has to do is read Ezekiel to see it does not match the Evangelical model and interpretation of John.
