    How can an unbeliever please God?

    Begin with a correction - I did not say that my repenting justified me... I said God Justified me through my non-believer's repentance... And in this I was going along with someone else's weak and error filled understanding of Justification... Then: The Gospel is the Call of Christ to...

    Justification - Part 2

    I will pass your correction on to Christ, who obviously got it wrong, according to you when He said: If anyone is willing... after Me to be following... Let him first deny himself... Then take up his cross... And follow Me... Without Christ we can do nothing... This IS the Gospel of...

    Reasonable truth and simple understanding
