Subject: Supposed to "DO" something? |
Bible Note: Ken, Not sharp shooting, just looking for clarification. I would still say that grace is a gift, but we must co-operate with it. Imputing is a little different than imparting. Impute: 1) to attribute something (especially a crime or fault)to another; charge with;. 2) in theology to ascribe (good or evil)to a person as coming from another. I believe in Christ righteousness being imputed to us, but I believe it is also infused. I have followed your post and though you may not be Catholic, your reasoning follows very closely the teachings of the Counil of Trent on Justification as well as the teachings in the Catechis on justification, grace and merit. Take a look and see what I mean. http://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/TRENT6.HTM http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/salve.html#AND Emmaus |
