Philippians 2:12, “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

The problem with proof texting ..

Philippians 2: 12So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; 13for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.

Ya need to pay attention to ALL of John 6... not just the ones Romans like

37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

Our salvation is not based on our faithfulness... but His..

As I said Catholics have no Savior.. they have a parole officer

“The problem with proof texting ..”

And here’s where you embarrass yourself. . . again. You posted:

“13for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure.”

And that’s exactly Catholic doctrine. See CCC 308, 1949. You’re “proof texting” overturns nothing I said but only proves it further.

“Our salvation is not based on our faithfulness... but His..”

So we can renounce Christ and be saved you’re saying? Yes, that IS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING. In reality we must remain true.
