I guess you are Roman Catholic.
Nope, definitely not. Im Orthodox (or will be once i can actually reach one of their churches).
The Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian Church of the East, though disagreeing on Christology, Mariology, ecclesiology, and what Church history is and looks like, all agree that our salvation is a journey of faith and works in Christ. That must mean something. Even 400 years in, they all agreed on this, and still do. Just saying.
Orthodox and Catholics have some major differences on this issue though (created grace, works as merits, etc). But yea, it is what the Church always believed until the protestant schisming.
Do you really think we can just toss out what Christ clearly said there about being good...just like that? If so. why?
Huh? Im against the side that say works are useless. Christ does indeed want us to be good and we must participate in our salvation.
