Let's move on! Your thread's principle focus seems to be summed up by your poll's title, "How Are We Saved?".again if what was said was that you have sola fide or 100% faith, and sola gracia (thats 200%) how can you have 200% of 100%? So there is a logical error in the very premise of having sola fide and sola gracia both refer to salvation. There is no way around that. If it's only by grace, then it's not by faith, if it's only by faith then grace is not there, hence the sola's. So again I repeat if what was said, was not meant by the reformers, why not just issue a retraction and say..."oops we messed up." Why defend errorsome dogma for hundreds of years after it's proven wrong, it's time to move on sir, move on to bigger and better things, like Just the Bible, sola scriptura. I agree with that statement, but none of the others. sola scriptura is the only one that works.
For me, answering that question begins by looking at the Savior Himself, at what He did for us, and why, which is why I asked you the two questions that I did (originally in Post #33 above).
1. Why the Incarnation? 2. Why the Cross?
So, why did Jesus do what He did for us? Also, was all of it absolutely necessary for our salvation, and if so, why do you think it was?
Thanks!
