The Anti-Semitism of the Presbyterian Church, USA

I recognize that some Presbyterian has given you a theological wedgy at some time; hurt the religious pride, maybe dissed the Pope, and now you’re trying to extract your pound of flesh. I just figured you had some emotional energy you were bursting at the seams to expend on some saints and since you seem to prefer bitterness to blessing; fretting to forgiveness, I would give you something to ruminate on.

But for the record, my last name is so Catholic it would make your head swim. But, I have been saved entirely by grace through faith alone. I can approach the throne of grace with confidence based on the fully finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ. I go on bended knee, heart in my hands, head hung low before my Savior, but the path to that throne of glorious eternal joy doesn’t detour through Rome. I won’t be held captive, except by Christ.

You may want to meditate on those five “solas” a tad; they are so liberating!

AMEN! Beautifully stated.
