you cannot "work out" something you do not already possess, can you?

Matter of fact, I can. For example, people "work out" and become thinner and healthier without possessing that quality originally. Especially since the quote (thank you) speaks of fear it is not clear how one can fear something he already possesses.

Further, may we speak to the topic already opened, that of the Holy Eucharist and its reality? Another poster wanted to talk about the mediaton of Christ instead, and I pointed out to him that that would be off topic, and so is, really, the topic you raised.

. . . thinner and healthier without possessing that quality originally.

This is an entirely specious proposition, and gives me the idea that you think that I and all your readers are idiots and fools, especially as you destroy the context in which the "working out one's salvation" occurrs in the Scripture selection it appears.

Please stop this implicit accusation that your target audience is a bunch of fools. You are just wasting bandwith to keep this running skirmish alive, when it should have died when we stopped researching what exactly the Phillipian 3rd chapter passage is about, as discussed by Charles Pope.
