Subject: Do Jesus and Paul agree on salv by faith |
Bible Note: Emmaus, I admit I am interpreting the scriptures in light of my theology and training. Like the Bereans in scripture, scripture and the Holy Spirit are my guide to my theology. Now, if you are honest, you too are iterpreting scripture in light of your theology, which comes from the Catholic Catechism as well as your training therein. Certainly I respect your point of view and was just making the point from Acts 10,11, Eph 2, Romans 4-5, and Titus and Galatians, just name a few, that regeneration and justification and salvation is a work of God alone and not merited by our works,whether, baptism, communion,pennance etc. That's all. It is interesting discussion and one that some friends of mine are having with a member of the LDS church. They of course have their requirements for complete forgiveness and salvation, which is mandated by their church. Nevertheless, this discussion has been around for centuries and I think it is healthy to search the scriptures and let the word of God dot its work in our hearts. May He give us eyes to see and ears to hear, so that we might delight in His truth. In peace, Brad |
