HMMMmmm...

I know what I Know! And if I were you, I wouldn’t dismiss me so quickly.

[Elsie]

These open threads appear to be a challenge to your temper.

We know what we know!!!

[Elsie]

I serve the Catholic God. I serve the the Savior, Our Lord Jesus Christ, I serve the Holy Spirit. I serve the One Holy and Apostolic Church. I believe in the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting

Ha!

You are NOT Catholic!

You never said one thing about

M-ry!!!

[Elsie]

o’ xone, I come! I come fully armed. That with the Cross of Christ and the chains of the Rosary which will force satan into the fires of hell and bind him until the time of our Lord.

I have to give you one thing:

Zeal!!!

[Elsie]

Would you say that the “erga/ergon” of John 6:28-29 is the same as the “erga” of Galatians 5:19-21?

I’ll take Petrine authority over yours,

How do you feel about Augustine's authority?

[Elsie]

I must seek confession which will tame my heart.

Hie thee to a nunnery; post haste!!

[Elsie]

We pray the Rosary, joining our tears with the Blesses Virgin Mary, that no soul be cast into hell.

Sorry; but her tears dried up long ago; way before her body turned to dust...

[Elsie]

Do you not pray for those who do not have a clue?

Just what is the reason, that your church has taught you, for Mary and Joseph to have NEVER consummated their marriage?

[Elsie]

Catholics were Christians long before Luther and Henry the Vlll.

And they went to church in those seven locations listed by John in Revelation 2-3.

They were teaching error.

How is it even POSSIBLE that Catholic churches SO young could be so much in ERROR that GOD threatened them?

[metmom]

Mary can’t save anyone.

You’re wasting your time.

Try praying to God instead as Jesus commanded us.

>>Before Scripture, there was the Church.<<

I can't believe you even typed that let alone sent it.

We are not the ones who do the calling or the drawing to Christ. We have no control over that. The carnal human attempts to attract "members" like a country club or private bar is what got the "churches" into the sad shape they are in today. It's not we who instil the desire to please God. Christ said there will be many who come to Him bragging that they did good deeds in His name and followed "all the laws" and He said He never knew them. Outward actions without an inward change of heart means nothing to Christ.

We can preach "obedience" to laws and "good deeds" all we want but that is not what Christ desires first and foremost. It's the Holy Spirit who instils the desire to please God AFTER a faith in Christ as their redeemer and only hope that produces the good deeds and actions pleasing to God.

Our responsibility is to preach the gospel. God will open the eyes and ears of those He is calling. Those who oppose or corrupt His word are warned over and over in scripture about what will happen.

Paul introduces Abraham into the discussion to illustrate the point he’s been arguing. And what is his point? Back up and try to follow him. His point is that righteousness is accounted on the basis of faith and not works of law.

We’ve already seen that this “law” includes more than the Law of Moses. We saw that when he proved that Gentiles, who weren’t under the Law of Moses, are guilty nevertheless.

Surely you don’t think Abraham was guiltless because he wasn’t under the Law of Moses...Do you?? Abraham was guilty. If he was to be acquitted, it would have to be on basis other than his works, because his works could only condemn him. But as the Scripture says, he was justified by his faith, not works. So it’s of grace, not debt.

No, Paul doesn’t change gears for a couple of verses and start talking about earning a living. He’s made his point about what works of law can’t do (they can’t justify us because we’re guilty and therefore unjustifiable) so he presses on with his explanation of the only way a sinner can be justified.

Perhaps your misunderstanding arises because you begin in chapter 4 instead of chapter 1. Back up and follow Paul’s train of thought, and I think you’ll be able to understand his “works”.

[LearsFool]

Funny! But not very helpful. :-)

Again,that’s your loss!

Ignoring extra-Biblical prophecy is a gain, not a loss. By paying attention to the Catholic prophecies, you missed your church teaching where you worship the same god as the Muslims.

[CynicalBear]

Good luck standing with those boasting about what they did when Jesus says “I never knew you”.

Yeah, but he does not have the power over me that he had before I became a child of The God. I can resist him, and put him to shame.

True.
