works

Troll alert! Troll alert!

Bwoop, Bwoop Bwoop!

oops, maybe that was a little premature and PS104 really is trying to learn something ... nah

 

If you refer to the works of the law, Absolutely not.

 

You are totally trolling

Who do you think is gonna come along and say, "Ummm, duh, deeder duh, me own wirks will save me, double-dutch-duh."?

 

Apart from the atoning sacrafice of Jesus Christ, no one is getting no where in a big hurry.

 

I guess you could say though that we have all been redeemed by "a work" that is- the life and ministry of Jesus Christ culminated in his death, burial, resurrection, and ascension!

 

You have a good question.

From what I understand it is the Buddhist belief that through the eightfold path by understanding the four noble truths one will eventually make it to the Buddhist version of heaven. There doesn't seem to be any text on any kind of "saving faith" in Buddhism, but is entirely up to the induviduals ability to deny themselves and work there way up a spiritual "chain".

 

Hi Psalm,

I'm saved because I'm a really good person. I'm still working my way up to heaven, and I hope that one day I will attain heaven because I've been a good little boy. Oh gee, I hope I'm good enough for God!

P.S. Harley isn't Catholic.

 

ScrewTape thinks its funny too.

 

Hello Psalms --

You oughta be real glad you left PA for Florida. It has been colder than a brass witch's heart here. Just miserable. I can't wait for some warm weather.

I think your question has merit. After all, it is the one thing which is constantly thrown at us Catholics.

"O Them Catholics, they think they can work their way to heaven."

I think there are some Bible verses we could discuss relative to this to begin. Let me post them up.

Ro 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:

8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

Rather than me go into a long winded dissertation here, let me ask you what you see this section saying.

And also comment on this:

Joh 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

Okay. I'll wait to hear from you and then hopefully we can get into a good and profitable discussion.

And ignore the ignorant jerks here who don't know any better than to answer a question with an insult.

Cordially in Christ,

Brother Ed

 

No.

In Christ,

Bob

 

Now that is a shame.

I think he makes a good one.

In Christ,

Bob

 

This is sad

 

Okay, for some reason no one is taking you seriously - that you are asking a sincere question. I've given my input on the Buddhist faith. Where you going to comment on that?

 

He won't. This is an obvious troll post. He (and Bob) are only in this thread to get in what they think are some really clever insults.

 

Now that is a shame.

I think he makes a good one.

In Christ,
