Subject: What are the "works of God"? |
Bible Note: Kalos, "For the record, the fundamental Bible doctrine you are attacking is that we are saved by Grace alone through Faith alone in Christ alone. If anyone wants to put himself under a system of works-righteousness, he will find that the doors to the Roman Catholic church are wide open." For the record, the above statement that the Roman Catholic Church teaches "works-righteousness" is a misrepresentation of Catholic doctrine. The true Catholic teaching on initial justification is easily found in the documents of the Council of Trent from which I quote here: "CHAPTER VIII HOW THE GRATUITOUS JUSTIFICATION OF THE SINNER BY FAITH IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD But when the apostle says that man is justified by faith and freely,these words are to be understood in that sense in which the uninterrupted unanimity of the Catholic Church has held and expressed them, namely, that we are therefore said to be justified by faith, because faith is the beginning of human salvation, the foundation and root of all justification, without which it is impossible to please God and to come to the fellowship of His sons; and we are therefore said to be justified gratuitously, because none of those things that precede justification, whether faith or works, merit the grace of justification. For, if by grace, it is not now by works, otherwise, as the Apostle says, grace is no more grace." Emmaus |
