I look at all Orthodoxy as bordering on sin, if is it the practice of things we do to earn what is already dearly paid for. We all die alone, facing the Throne, so to speak, without our orthodoxies, but assessed by what we did with so great a gift, the knowledge imparted to us. I don't forsake the assembling of ourselves together, and I act daily in the light of what I believe about Christ and the World. This cannot help but make us a contrast with the great sea of others who are not so gifted. We have accepted the Word defined. I love the Catholic orthodoxies, but need no intercessor between God and me aside from Christ. I cvan't merit the unmerited favor of Christ, a gift made possible by the infinite value of his perfect sacrifice. Neither, among the others, can I gain access to God through behaviors, which are putting the cart before the horse, it seems to me. Faith is action based upon belief, I believe. Our behaviors just can't be the same as they were before we came to accept the overwhelming evidence of that what Christ did for us can't be earned or bought. "It is finished," he said, before yielding up the spirit. And the curtain separating the Holy of Holies in the Temple rent in two, from the top to the bottom, and not the other way around.
Amen!
Alone, but with ONE on my side Who has given His life to defend me; lowly me!; from the accusations of the Devil.
