Hey Pilgrim,

I don't doubt that we are justified by faith and there are no works on our part that can contribute to our salvation.

The argument that I've become acquainted with is Justification as a ONE & ONLY event.

I believe it is - I think it fits with the rest of scriptures and jives with say a Romans 7 (which is a testimony of a Justified man due to Christ's sake).

But when the RCC faithful attempt to pin point a Biblical explanation of Justification as a ONE & ONLY moment in the life of a true disciple and use the accounts of Abraham and David as the case studies the waters get a little murky and my clear Reformed scriptual vision begins to cloudy.

Maybe my knowledge and understanding of scriptures is too lacking.

Sincerely,

AC
