Pilgrim writes: The fact is that I did follow the point which Paul_S made and your response to it. The fact is that you are either incapable of comprehending it and/or you are ensnared by your own obstinance against the truth of it. <br> <br>[color:purple]Scott replies: I do not question whether or not you read the exchange between myself and Paul_S, but you haven't admitted the [color:red]fact</font color=red> that the context of that passage from Scripture is talking about rejecting works of the law. You can try to change the subject all you want, but you can't change the Scriptures. The [color:red]truth</font color=red> of what I was saying was the [color:red]fact</font color=red> that the passage in question was about [color:red]works of the law</font color=red>. Why do you refuse to admit that? Are you afraid to admit I am right about that?</font color=purple> <br> <br>Pilgrim continues: As I wrote before, and it shall be my refrain forever more, the Roman Catholic church speaks of "grace" but in fact it is works+grace=salvation that it teaches. <br> <br>[color:purple]Scott responds: If you wish to continue professing a lie. . . Pilgrim, the Church does not teach "works+grace=salvation," sorry, you're just dead wrong on that one. Salvation is purely by the grace of Jesus Christ. Now, He gives to us the gift of Faith - but if we do nothing with that gift, then such a faith is a "dead faith" and such a faith cannot save you. Grace preceeds, then comes the gift of Faith, then there is a matter of what we do with that Faith. Do we "practice" it, or do we merely pay it lip-service on Sunday? <br><br>"Faith Alone" is also a lie and an invention of the protestors of the 16th century. "Faith Alone" is not scriptural, and in [color:red]fact</font color=red> the <font class="big">only</font> place we find the words "faith" and "alone" together in Scripture is in <font class="big">negation</font> of this concept. <br> <br>These [color:red]facts</font color=red> are indisputable.<br> <br>In JMJ,<br>Scott<<<<br> <br><br>
