Your right but you also know it’s falling on deaf ears...eyes that won’t see....blinded by other than light.

Very probably true. And so we preach to all men everywhere, confident that if God wants a man to understand He will give Him the Holy Spirit to guide him, and equip him with new ears and new eyes to believe the Scriptures and be saved by God's grace through faith in Christ's work on the cross.

We all start out in darkness. Whether or not we come into the light is God's call.

"In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." -- 2 Timothy 2:25-26

Your right but you also know [post 4143] falling on deaf ears

Like all Protestant supposed prooftexts for their heresies, these are pieces of scripture often taken out of the immediate context that says the opposite, and in any case not saying what the Protestant heresy needs it to say. This kind of scripture-quoting insults the scripture and the intelligence between the said ears.

For example, the Church teaches that we are saved by grace alone -- but not by faith alone, just like Eph 2:8 says; grace does not come form works, just like Eph 2:9 says, and good works are necessary for salvation, just like Eph. 2:10 says, the latter verse omitted by the prooftexting doctor in her post. These are techniques of an illusionist who uses bold fonts and red color to draw attention away from the empty hat placed in front of us.

As the Catholic Church teaches, works of the law do not justify, but rather works done in charity. Surprise, that last part is what the doctor's Galatian quote omitted:

[4] You are made void of Christ, you who are justified in the law: you are fallen from grace. [5] For we in spirit, by faith, wait for the hope of justice. [6] For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.

Look at them quoting the Bible and you might believe them; but look at the text itself and the deception of the Protestant method becomes clear.

Read the Bible honestly and you will leave the feebly edifice of Protestantism and become a Bible believing Catholic, and the Good Shepherd and the saints in heaven will rejoice.
