[MarkBsnr]

I am quoting from the Council’s Canons.

You cannot cherry pick the canons because they are built one upon the other and lead to the truth of the conclusion.

That is the errant Protestant methodology and why there are so many different beliefs. It is only by considering the entire Bible in the manner that it was intended by the folks who amassed it, that one may arrive at the Truth.

The conclusion contains the following: after grace has been received through baptism, all baptized persons have the ability and responsibility, if they desire to labor faithfully, to perform with the aid and cooperation of Christ what is of essential importance in regard to the salvation of their soul. We not only do not believe that any are foreordained to evil by the power of God, but even state with utter abhorrence that if there are those who want to believe so evil a thing, they are anathema.

Nothing contradicts and everything is Truth. Calvinists can call a blue sky green, and Scripturally often do. You must follow the entire document. Where does the document say that grace and the Holy Spirit come from?

I really do believe that if you stuck four Protestants in a room, you guys would come up with 5 different religions.

Sure I can. I'm Protestant. Men are sometimes right and sometimes wrong. I don't believe in infallibility except in the scriptures.

they are built one upon the other and lead to the truth of the conclusion....Nothing contradicts and everything is Truth.

HA! Is that why they rescinded the one about paying for indulgences?

From my perspective there's only synergism and monergism. If there was a Reformed Presbyterian, Reformed Methodist, Reformed Baptist, and Reformed ???(oops I'm out of (valid) denominations) all we would probably argue about is whether we should dunk or sprinkle. Now the rest of the Protestants who side with the Catholic synergistic model, you need to talk to them. They're your denominations, not ours.

You noticed that too? :)
