Yes, Emmaus, getting back to the original question concerning what Jesus said. How do the by-faith-alone people align their thinking with what Jesus talked about. I can't find anywhere where Jesus Himself talked about faith alone getting one to the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus talked about the narrow gate - wouldn't the "faith-alone" gate be quite wide? (Just a note on myself, I was raised R. Catholic, started reading the Bible a year ago, love the concept of faith-alone, but I'm having trouble getting my arms around it. I don't mean my questions to be inflammatory, I'm just trying to get to the right questions to clear up my confusion! Thanks everybody!) |

Reilly, Welcome to the forum. Your question was not inflamatory, but very reasonable. I was raised Catholic too and still am. The Catholic Church teaches justification by grace, but also that after one is justified by grace, one's good works in Christ have merit because they are done in Christ not because of the one doing the works. What some here call sanctification is sometimes also called an increase in justification or being conformed to Christ by Catholics. I did say some of what I had to say was the minority opinion here and that you would get others. Again, Welcome! Emmaus |
