!NONSENSE!
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.
I have looked at the text and found there is no deception...in fact clarification seems moreso than not when compared to the Catholic take, which more often then not one has to separate the "traditions" practiced in order to determine if or not there is actual belief in the topic discussed or simply abiding by mans written opinions. As for becoming a Catholic...that simply isn't going to happen annalex, though I know your journey there took you thru some bad experiences in former churches that steered you wrongfully...and sorry you experienced the suffering you did. So I can understand you attraction to the Catholic church even though I disagree with much about their practices. So I am satisfied in Christ and the church of my choosing. I like the truth as Christ presents it...not as the traditions of men dictate......but thank you for the invitation...however I must decline for Christ's sake.
