Faith in what? If you ignore Jesus and repudiate His Church and misunderstand Paul, what can your faith possibly be in? Not Jesus, that is apparant.

Show me where I have ignored Jesus. I proudly claim to be a member in good standing in His church. I do not bow to Rome, or to your Pope. You may continue to bow to him and kiss his ring.

You have claimed how I have misunderstood Paul, but you have not demonstrated a wrong interpretation. You only state that your church "says so". Please enlighten us with scholarship, not opinion...

Romans 8: 28And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,[j] who[k] have been called according to his purpose. 29For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

31What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36As it is written:
"For your sake we face death all day long;

we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered."

[l] 37No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[m] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

-with love, Paul

***Show me where I have ignored Jesus. ***

Jesus says that not everyone who calls Lord, Lord will be saved. You have posted numerous times that this is not so.

Jesus gave the Keys to Peter to be the Steward of the Kingdom, with earthly authority. You have posted numerous times that this is not so.

Those who do not follow Jesus cannot be Christian.

***I proudly claim to be a member in good standing in His church.***

Based on what? You repudiate the Ten Commandments. You repudiate the Church of Jesus Christ and its authority. You repudiate the doctrine of free will.

***You have claimed how I have misunderstood Paul, but you have not demonstrated a wrong interpretation.***

How many times do I have to repeat the above demonstrations, along with the others that I have posted?
