I have mine straight. My point: No where in Paul's writings do we read "faith alone", but salvation by grace "through faith". You know, the salvation you reject.

Keep it to yourself. Catholics need to ask their priests, bishops,
cardinals, and Pope for their answers. Just write to the
Archdiocese of Rome, they'll send you the answers they don't know.
Catholics are not privy to truth. Their church won't permit it.
Catholics are "Workers."
Calvinists listen to John Calvin.

Yes, deceitful ones (2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV).
Faithers: Those who have heard the Grace Gospel and placed their faith in
Christ as their Savior.
Workers::Those who place their faith in their church, good works/deeds/, their self,
water baptism, and their religiosity.

The majority of posters on TOL are "Workers."
Few are True Faithers.
Good example for a "Worker:"=Matthew 7:22--"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
Matthew 7:23--"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Matthew 7:23--"And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
Most Christians are, in name only.
You must place ALL your faith in Christ and NONE in yourself.
He came to earth by Himself. He doesn't need our help to keep ourselves saved and headed for eternal life.
ALL He asks of us is, our faith.
Only faith pleases God.
Hebrews 11:6--"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." Even though the book of Hebrews is written to/for the
Hebrews, it still tells us what pleases God.
Hebrews, it still tells us what pleases God.
Like the old Hymn goes: "Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe."
Romans 4:3--"For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God,
and it was counted unto him for righteousness." Today, we place our
faith in Christ as our Savior (We believe God, as did Abraham) and we
receive the righteousness of Christ.
