:chz4brnz:[Are you speaking about theophilus' home page? 1 Sa 16:7] Do you have a need to know?
Stumped me there with that never heard before cliche. And? Do you have a need to know, Roman Catholic? Genesis-Revelation.:chz4brnz:
It's a yes or no question (Eph 4:14).

...[Y]our daddy devil is the accuser of the brethren. We smell your sulfur, child of the devil.
:yawn: You're projecting again (Eph 4:14). :noway:

[1 Sa 16:7] See your favorite #, Damian: 666...
2 Thes. 1 KJV:yawn:
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails (1 Co 13:1–8).
Nothing 'snotty' about it.
Simply descriptive of the understanding that many have that Paul means in these verses that it is up to the believer to hold on to salvation by their own efforts, a 'do it yourself' salvation.
I don't believe that he's saying that.
But, as I said in the OP, there will be differing opinions. Yours is one of them and a very common belief.
Forgiveness and justification: is it a DO thing, or a DONE thing?
My apologies. I'm surprised to hear you say my view is common. I figure the majority is "faith alone".

Daniel 12 KJV1Co 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1Co 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
Does anybody want to define what the word 'resurrection' means?
Seems rather pertinent, to me.
No, the majority is not truly faith alone, not even within Protestantism. They believe that they are but they're not. One has either a DO faith, or a DONE faith.
If you know of an example of people not making it based on what they believe and not what they do I would be glad to check it out.
What about without Catholics? I don't believe they are true Christians because they are serving the church and not Christ.
