Man o man has your books based reasoning "about" a thing "into" it rendered you incompetent to being able to see a thing unless it is pointed out to you in a book "about."
How you get through a day baffles the mind :chuckle:
It was the RCC's willful failure to distinguish between Law and Grace (two DIFFERENT economies, stewardships, administrations, or dispensations) that not only had Martin Luther so troubled about both his present and his eternal fate but that drove him, finally, to the Scripture and the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the Romans, where he found his long sought for peace with God at last.
It was and continues to be the RCC's continued failure to distinguish between those two "dispensations" that even now still views Luther's "recovery" of this distinction as some notion conjured up by Luther and the other "Reformers."
You are incredibly inept at your chosen task - the dispensational distinction between law and grace - between the Law's Performance Based Acceptance (Moses) and Grace's Christ Based Acceptance (Paul) had existed for some fifteen hundred years BEFORE Luther.
It was the same basic distinction between things that differ and are therefore not the same; that the Apostle Paul himself had had to combat in his own day, even as the Lord was having him "destroy the things" of the one ("the law for righteousness") at the same time that He was having him "build" the things of the other ("the righteousness of God WITHOUT the law").
You ought to ban yourself from posting - your posts are that bereft of what is known as "a clue" :chuckle:
You might as well assert in your every fool post that until Newton came along to decode into "here it is in written form" those three basic laws he remains highly admired for to this very day - you might as well assert, you incompetent, that until he came along to decode those three laws into written form, said three laws did not exist all those thousands upon thousands of years before him.
:doh:
