MM:>>>>Who’s mocking or ridiculing someone who is feeding the hungry?
You are. Post 2177: ________________________________________________________________MM:You mean like the mafia hitman who’s a good, practicing Catholic and can just go to confession, which the priest is bound to keep silent about, and confess his sin and pay no legal or civil penalties, but takes a few trips about the rosary and voila’ he’s all free and clear.
And in case that’s not enough, he can stack up some good works feeding the poor and get that get out of purgatory free cards.____________________________________________________
MM:>>>>>>Then why do Catholics say that works have to be added to faith to gain salvation?
They don’t, didn’t you listen in catechism, or is that autobiography of the Catholic you a falsehood?
MM:>>>>>Do your scriptures tell your church to do that?
Oh, are we skipping to 2519 now? Is this a game? Multiple questions and answers from differing pages?
Get your act together, I’m not playing hopscotch with your jumbled posts anymore.
One could simplify the Protestant position about faith and works as the couch potato’s way to salvation.
Sit around say you love Jesus, but do nothing that demonstrates you love Jesus, and you will be saved. It’s sort of like a husband saying to his wife that he loves her, but not backing up his words with deeds.
Christ saved us objectively in the past, but we must co-operate with his plan for salvation to be saved after we die.
Otherwise, our faith is meaningless as St. James says.
