1 | WHO pays the wage? | 1 John 1:9 | Dalcent | 134740 | ||
To quote my Catholic study Bible: Works done by our own strength without the grace of God and without faith in him are vain. This is the Catholic teaching on faith AND works. A Catholic would never separate faith AND works in explaining justification, hence the rejection of 'faith alone'. We would never say like Luther we could commit adultery 100 times and it not affect our justification. Faith without works in dead. God bless Dalcent |

Hello Dalcent, I trust your comment about Luther is correct, however I believe he would never have condoned such a thing. Nor would he believe a Chritian would even conceive of it because of Romans 6. We are justified by faith alone, but justifying faith shows itself by those good works we do which God has prepared beforehand that we should do (Eph 2:10). Steve |

Certainly, Luther never condoned such behaviour. But he did use it to explain justification. A Catholic would never explain justification this way. Nevertheless, Catholics and Lutherans agreed a Joint Statement on Justification in 1997. http://www.cin.org/users/james/files/jddj.htm It is a myth that Catholics teach salvation by works. Always was! Dalcent |
