Thank goodness for the grace of our lord. In which when sin abounds, his grace abounds even more. Through baptism we participate in his death, burial and resurrection and our hearts are supernaturaly circumcised. We are dead in our flesh, but alive in Christ Jesus. Lets give thanks, that he gave...

The cross in enough, this is why you need to be baptized into it.

No, this is a warning to real believers. Faith can be lost, either by following the law instead of having a faith that works through charity. As Paul preaches to the Galatians. Or by rejecting the sonship, as Paul wrote to Timothy. They shipwreck their faith. They desire not, to be a new creation.

How much growth the believer needs for his justification to be valid? Can a baby believer be save if he abides in the holy ghost. Philippians 1:6 says he will finish what he started.

If you are so kindly. Harmonized every verse that speaks about grace through faith, and how the sacraments save us. Such as Christ saying, everyone who eats from my body will have everlasting life, and why did our church father believe the eucharist was his flesh and blood.

Im the one in need of edifying, am I not. Please harmonized them for me.

We believe the grace of God is also in his word. They can be save, but they miss a lot of healing and edifying through Gods sacraments. It is not healthy to rely in ourselves. This is why every Christian should always seek Gods grace whenever is posible. Because sometimes our faith is weak and...

He didnt. But we do teach the sacraments are means of grace, not just a symbol. We truly believe our hearts are circuncide through holy baptism and we indeed participate in his death burial and resurrection, we also believe we eat the blood and flesh of our lord in holy communion.

You have not answered my question. So you know nothing about Lutheranism, and you refuse to edify a brethren by not answering that same question.

Im a lutheran, everything that Luther believed I also do. If you have points againts Luthers theology give me your thoughts. Nevetheless, I ask the same question. Harmonized them. You talk a lot about fruits, yet being condescending is a work of the flesh. You shouldnt strife.

Luther already had. Please harmonize. Romans 4:3-4, Romans 3:21-28, Titus 3:5-7.

So one of two things is going on here: 1) The word of God written is contradicing itself (did God get the memo on that?), or 2) you do not correctly understand the word of God written. I had ask the same question since the beginning. Either the biblie contradicts itself, or you do not...

No, this is totally against. Colossians 2:12. Galatians 3:27

If you have to state something, its clearly not showing naturally.

Im asking the same question. I do not come from a reform background. Im legit trying to explain you how our church fathers read scripture. You can read Augustine for a better context of Grace.
