***HD-***Funny, I don’t believe Paul ever said Jesus was wrong.***
MarkBsnr-We never said that.

Please refer back to post #438***

Okay:

***Paul didn’t have a problem telling Peter, James, and John they were wrong and stood condemned.***

So Paul is entirely right, and Peter, James, John, and Jesus are entirely wrong?

You guys are entirely funny. The misunderstanding of Paul trumps the words of Jesus.

We never said that Paul ever said that Jesus was wrong. I’ll let that stand.

***Those who know me and have been here for some time knows that I don’t take my Reformed theology from the Reformers; I take it from Augustine. A careful reading of scriptures and an openess of heart confirms everything the Reformers state.***

Read my tagline. That is a quote from St. Augustine. Do you agree with him there?

***Who gave you the ability to repent?
Who gave you your faith?***

By the Grace of God alone, we have the ability to repent. Without Grace, we cannot.

God gave us our faith.

Funny, I don’t feel any different.

Read my tagline. That is a quote from St. Augustine. Do you agree with him there?

I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)

Considering there was only essentially one group of churches at the time, why would I doubt him? The fact that the Church slid into heresy happened well after Augustine.

Augustine also said this:

Faith, then, as well in its beginning as in its completion, is God's gift; and let no one have any doubt whatever, unless he desires to resist the plainest sacred writings, that this gift is given to some, while to some it is not given.

Would you agree?
