I've found that when talking with Protestants, it's easy to go on tangents, so it's best to keep things as narrowly focused as possible.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01453168437883536663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-7750493782752647442017-12-26T06:37:22.791-08:002017-12-26T06:37:22.791-08:00Hey Nick,

But, isn't the Catholic position that we are justified by faith and baptism, and that that is when God's love is placed within us?<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />LukeApologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255457597082852045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-79581518923969265462016-11-24T18:59:04.121-08:002016-11-24T18:59:04.121-08:00Hi Nick,

[25] In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? [26] For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.<br /><br />I always laugh when I debate or dialog with a Protestant using James 2:24 and/or James 2:26. I never include James 2:25. Hiding the the Israelii spies was cobsidered a work? LOL. To me, walking a little old lady across the street is a work. <br /><br />It will be interesting how Protestants will address this piece, <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, <br /><br />R.
