Oh really? You would have to explain the ‘after all that you can do’ teaching if we go any further. I’m sure that during Paul’s time there were many gentile Christians who had strange concepts somehow mixed in with their past pagan beliefs. In fact we know this to be true because Paul qwrote his letters to try and correct many of these incorrect notions. But his teaching is very explicit in Romans 8 and to the Galatians and Corinthians and Ephesians. What James concluded in that interesting council in Jerusalem regarding what not to hang about the necks of gentile Christians is also very interesting to note. Confusion God can excuse. Contradiction He will coreect. Deceit He will not countenance. Ignoring His Grace He will condemn.
That last should read ‘Ignoring His Grace He has already condemned.’
Oh really what?
