Subject: Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith |
Bible Note: Nivlac5, "You asked for examples of Catholic "works" that are required. There are plenty, alms, penance, come to mind. I do have a great audio/video that documents all this and as soon as I get it back from a friend, I can give you more exact and plenary examples...I would add that the glorious good news of the Gospel that declares us not quilty and forever forgiven is what gives us the joy to serve Him out of gratitude for what He has done for us." You seem to be under the misapprehension that Catholics do these things to be justified. They do not. Did you even read the Catholic doctrine on justification that I posted? Ands the last time I looked good Protestants give alms and also do penance for wrongs they have done, because it is the Biblical thing to do. May I suggest that if you want an unbiased understanding of what the Catholic Church teaches you go to Catholic documents. At least then, whether you agree with the real teaching or not, you won't get distorted second hand opinions and inaccurate represntations of Catholic doctrine. Emmaus |
