    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    A protestant view, maybe. Surely, not one held by all Protestants.

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    Teachers in what school and at what age? That's just a background sort of question, since you brough up the subject of your teachers, which is really rather irrelevant to the thread topic. The CCC has a glossary which gives this definition of grace. GRACE: The free and undeserved gift that God...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Really? Where exactly is that written in holy scripture? I am not a protestant, so I do not usually expect holy scripture to contain a theological answer to questions. But I think you may be a Protestant, and it is common for Protestant posters on these kinds of forums to have bible proofs for...

    Is grace the cause of one's salvation?

    Is it? Is grace the cause of one's salvation? What exactly is grace, by the way. Jehovah's witnesses never use "grace" in their bible, they have "undeserved kindness" instead. Is "undeserved kindness" the cause of one's salvation? I wonder ...

    Are you saved because you believe? Or do you believe because you are saved?

    Is "universal atonement" the new buzzword in these here parts? Now, concerning the thread topic, which seems to be "is faith the cause of one's salvation or not?", the short answer is no, faith is not the cause of anyone's salvation.

    Those posts would improve without the . dot at the and with a world of spaces and new lines preceding it. My apologies for this meta-post. ;)

    Okay, whatever you think you're debating is fine with me. I am not participating.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Let's not divert the thread to some hobby horse topic. Let's stick with "Did Jesus die for the sins of the world"

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I know you haven't responded to arguments put to you. I know you haven't indicated that you understood the argument in one case. I know that your attempt to side-track the conversation isn't helpful and will not work.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What I know is this: I know how to read Matthew 5 to 7. I do not need a theory of its application to born-agains alone. It is a "sermon" spoken before crowds of people.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    I have to conclude that there's is something amiss when you claim that 605 says "universal atonement" when it does not. Or else I must conclude that you do not understand the posts I have written which have repeatedly said that Catholic Church teaching does not use Protestant vocabulary phrases...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    You claim "he is speaking to saved people" the passage is from "the sermon on the mount" which starts with "Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him," Matthew 5:1, which leaves one thinking that he is addressing disciples who...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Matthew 7:12-14 is scripture; if it vexes and upsets the theology your posts are presenting then that is a problem for your presentation to deal with.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What do you think 605 says? CCC 605 At the end of the parable of the lost sheep Jesus recalled that God's love excludes no one: "So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish." He affirms that he came "to give his life as a ransom for many"...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The scriptures give an answer for that. Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The above claim looks like nonsense. The next day, John saw Jesus coming to him; and he saith: Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who taketh away the sin of the world. John 1:29 There is nothing in the passage to suggest that "world" means "elect". The world clearly has sin because the world is...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    As much as I like to approve your comments, I cannot agree with them because they are fundamentally flawed. "Universal atonement" is a Protestant category, it is not Catholic teaching. Catholic teaching is couched in biblical language for very good reasons. Catholic teaching is that Christ is...

    Your posts, sir, misrepresent what my posts contain. I do not see any good reason to respond to this kind of misrepresentation.
