I’m not sure your point other than saying you “hate” sola fide.

I really believe the object of their hate (which the Good Shepherd told us not to do) is Luther. Luther exposed the RC house of cards of indulgences and earning salvation by obeying Big Papa. So they go all out to attack Luther and what he wrote.

What they don't realize is Luther derived the "sola fide" from the OT and NT (more so). They can attack the "sola" part all day as far as I am concerned because that is a fallible human term by Luther and Calvin. However the NT and OT is clear...We are justified by faith. It does not say alone, but strongly implied because what follows is usually "and not of yourselves lest anyone boast." So to me, that is saying "sola fide." But to others, they want to argue over "alone", when it does not say "alone" but clearly MEANS 'alone.'
