Country Girl, I have been reading this thread and your other posts on a similar theme. Whether intentional or not, your thinking, and posting, on this subject is very Catholic. Sometimes you can get in as much trouble speaking for or with the Catholic Church as you can by "speaking out against the Catholic Chrurch." Next thing you know you'll be spouting Latin. ;-) Emmaus |

Country Girl, You may wish to look at my post # 129689 to Doc on this thread. It addresses the meeting of the physical and spiritual in the sacraments. Faith and works can be viewed in a very similar manner. Pauls speaks repeatledly about the "obedience of faith." In fact he opens and closes Romans with that phrase. Works of obience are nothing more than the physical maifestation of the spiritual reality of saving faith and grace. They do not need to be compartmentalized any more than we compartmentalize our spirits and bodies as we live. They are an integrated and unified reality. thus the importance of the Resurrection which restore that reality. James illustrates this reality when he says "faith without works is dead." This is obvious because we know, as did James, that the man whose spirit (faith) has been separated from its body (the physical manifestation of the spirit or soul)(works) is dead. Emmaus |
