    Okay, I'll check it out tomorrow, very bust with Thanksgiving coming up, and family visiting.

    Discussion Calvin and the foolishness of God, Jesus death.

    Again avoiding the crucial questions. Always the case.

    Salvation from the Catholic View Compared to the Eastern Orthodox View

    Before I reply to this post. Is this the only question you are going to address? I asked several questions.

    Salvation from the Catholic View Compared to the Eastern Orthodox View

    You can say whatever you want. The prove is in the fine print. I keep asking you how is a SINNER justified? This is not a trick question or a gotcha question. But it is a very crucial and vital question that any person must asked and know the answer to; to be justified by God through Faith Alone...

    I am curious though, will you share your position of the Fall and man's state of sin? Please be as detailed as possible. Thanks.

    Discussion Calvin and the foolishness of God, Jesus death.

    Ah, but know that Faith & Repentance are the gifts from God. Yes, I know, there's Semi-Pelagian, Arminianism, Wesleyan, Socinianism, and many more heretical teachings. See, Abram the default setting for fallen mankind is Pelagianism. Man-centered religion. The same heretical theology that...

    Sorry to say this, but you sound like a Gnostic. I don't know how people can make an intelligent conclusion about something without knowing the facts.

    Salvation from the Catholic View Compared to the Eastern Orthodox View

    Here's a quote from Calvin, "unless you first of all grasp what your relationship to God is, and the nature of His judgement concerning you, you have neither a foundation on which to establish your salvation nor one on which to build piety toward God."

    Before I highlight areas in this Canon that you have provided, allow me to understand, that this is your position?

    Well, if you are going to follow this reasoning then why believe in the Bible and it's reliability, right? Not knowing who Calvin says a lot of your level of knowledge to these debates.

    Salvation from the Catholic View Compared to the Eastern Orthodox View

    See, this is exactly what I mean. You keep insisting that it's by Faith, then try to sneak in works through the back door. This is the slide of hand I am speaking about. But you believe that sinners could merit their own righteousness and not submit to God's righteousness that the Gospel gives...

    Thank you, have a nice day and happy holidays to you and yours! By Grace Alone!

    Oh, now not everyone is saved? You keep avoiding all the tough questions. Just because you don't like them doesn't mean these questions should be avoided. Either you know what you believe and why you believe it or you don't. BTW, I have no problem stopping our conversation. I bid you a farewell.

    Discussion Calvin and the foolishness of God, Jesus death.

    So, that I am clear you are going to ignore and exclude passages that state of God's choosing his people? How do you reconcile 2 Peter 3:9 with 1 Peter 2:9 9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who...

    69. How is it signified and sealed to you in Holy Baptism, that you have part in the one sacrifice of Christ on the cross? Thus: that Christ instituted this outward washing with water and joined therewith this promise: that I am washed with His blood and Spirit from the pollution of my soul...
