Dear Hannah,<br><br>what <span style="background-color:yellow;">scriptures</span> do you use for your defense? I find it telling that you rarely, if at all, use scriptures in your arguments. In those rare moments, you are merely giving the standard RCC eisogesis. [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/sad.gif" alt="sad" title="sad[/img] Please do consider all the scriptures and exegesis that many on this board are patiently providing for you. RCC doctrines and Protestant doctrines of salvation are mutually exclusive. Eternity is at stake. I pray would listen to the apostle Paul, if you will not listen to us.<br><blockquote><br>1And [color:red]you</font color=red> were <span style="background-color:yellow;">dead in the trespasses and sins</span> 2in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience-- 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body[1] and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. <span style="background-color:yellow;">But[2] God</span>, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved-- 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8[color:red]For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them</font color=red>.(Eph 2:1-10)</blockquote><br><br><br>in Christ,<br>Carlos
