Grace is from God to us according to His wishes, we have responsibility for our actions.

What I object to is separating faith from our moral responsibility, acting with integrity according to our conscience.

And I think it's harmful to look for formulas derived therefrom to get to heaven.

yuh-HUH!

Latest analogy from the Mad Dawg random analogy generator:

I bought you a gym membership. Now you CAN work out.

I drive you to the gym, I persuade you that working out is good. and that you want to be strong. I get you a personal trainer (taught by me).And I own the gym.

Not ONLY that, but I turn out to be in charge of making muscles respond to working out.

Of course, this analogy breaks down when you look at me .... okay, and maybe a few other places along the line too.
