What a joy to remember that she is our Mother! Since she loves us and knows our weakness, what have we to fear? Saint Therese of Lisieux 🌺

Danny Charles Tingler Everything he said was dead on — and the fact you can’t see it only proves how far your theology has drifted from the Church that Christ actually founded. You’ve fashioned for yourself a god who lies — a god who calls the wicked righteous by legal decree alone, as if divine

Fundamentalist Protestantism would turn this into a no knock arrest warrant. (So would the common perception of reformed theology, but I think reformed theology is a little bit more nuanced.)

Many popular protestant apologists want to so strongly support the primacy of ā€œgraceā€ that in the ā€œfaith versus worksā€ debate, they completely obliterate even post baptismal works done in grace. Here is what they don’t understand: the natural corollary of what they are saying

wcmcghee2 Danny āœļø River de los Muertos āš°ļøšŸ„€šŸ…æļø Grace is the unmerited favor of God. If it’s not gratis its not gratia. we should daily be conforming more to the likeness of Christ, in fulfillment of Matthew 5:48. Grace is transformational, not just imputed. We become a new creation through justification, not just ā€œ lipstick

Many would rather say ā€œI’m such filth in front of a holy God,ā€ Rather than say, ā€œI am so loved by my awesome father.ā€ At some point, our faith journey has to leave the legalistic and become relational, if we are to obtain the wonderful promises of God!
