Rome has peddled the terrible lie that the rescue of a man's soul lies in the hands of the man

Really? I don't recall ever hearing that.

"Really? I don't recall ever hearing that."

One might ask someone familiar with their perspective, is "free will" operative or does God manage all things, including the man's choices?

Listen carefully to the answer.

And, if you never knew Rome claimed semi-Pelagian free will (taken up by Jacobus Arminius in the 16th century), it might imply you have been under the impression they thought it was God, all along. They do not. Your perspective would have been more scriptural, but Rome does not agree with you.

As Luther argued against Erasmus, the Scriptures teach God alone is managing salvation. If you want to know more about this distinction, let us know.
