Ronald,
Salvation is simplistic in its form but it came at a great price that NONE are worthy to bear, except God's Son.
The simplicity is that it isn't gained through rituals nor doctrine nor the traditions of man. It is simply a great gift of LOVE from a Father to his creation.
One he bestowed by his grace to those who could not redeem themselves at any cost nor by any means. The measure of faith given to every man, was given to be directed towards God. Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR, BUT THE EVIDIENCE OF THINGS NOT SEEN !
Can we touch a man, priest? Could Mother Teresa be held ? Does mankind hold any power within themselves to do good? Jesus said, there is none GOOD BUT GOD!
I do not know the intent or mind of a heart. I do know that Jesus said there would be many deceivers and that many would be deceived! Are you one ? Am I?
The heresy of false doctrine does not have man look to God to receive but rather to look to man to recieve from. There are many that curry man's favour rather than the Lord's.
I ask now in the spirit of humblness that any J. W. ,Morman, Catholic, SDA or any denominal affiliation that I have offended to forgive me my abruptness, my harshness or my condemnation, as I apologize for such.
We all are in the hands of a just, merciful loving God, to whom we owe all glory and honour !
