Talk:Debate: Is the Roman Catholic doctrine of grace biblical? (view source)
Revision as of 16:04, August 26, 2020
, 16:04, August 26, 2020→Isaiah 28 - more context
===Isaiah 28 - more context===
===Isaiah 28 - more context===
Perhaps looking at Isaiah chapter 28 will give more context. Verses 1 and what immediately follows puts its finger on pride as the problem. These were the people whose carcasses ''did not'' fall in the wilderness, and entered in. Verse 12 revisits how the word not mixed with faith is what gave them law rather than grace. Then we have a section on the futility of the law, how it cannot save or make one righteous before God. Finally we arrive at the situation of Israel then, and the Roman Catholic church now in verse 15: ''ye have said with hell are we in agreement''. And ultimately the famous prophecy of verse 16, which the "author of confusion" (another title of Satan) has used to blind people's eyes.
