No, it is apparent that you do not reflect upon what we tell you. Yesterday I said:
Therefore, anything we do of merit is the result of God and us working together. For sure we are the infinitely junior partner, but we do have to give God reign over our will. That is our contribution to the partnership and it is not a trivial thing.
That you can see statements like this and yet still ask questions of Catholics about how we want to do everything "on our own" defies description.

Could it be because everything you say is in such a way that you can redefine it at the drop of a hat.
If I quote any part of your statement and attack it with scripture, you immediately change the meaning of what you said to what you now mean it to say.
So your right, until I see you say the same thing over and over, and defend it several times, I don't pay a lot of attention to it.
Lets say someone walks up to us and gives each of us a brand new car and keys, and says something, and leaves.
I thought I heard him say the car is a free gift from someone who loves me, and he will not accept any money for it, but If I really appreciate it, I’ll take good care of it, and show love to my neighbor and be a good example.
You said no way, that's not what he said. I heard him say that the car has to be paid for, and he'll do part of the payments with me.
What I can't come up with, he'll pay the difference, but if I don't contribute my fair share, he'll have the car impounded, and I'll loose everything I invested into it.
I think I heard him correctly.
