If one listens to Sproul's series on Roman Catholicism you realize that the "works" label is really about the temporal effects of sin being punished as part of penance. The Reformers just wanted to be forgiven for their sins without having to do anything but a mental exercise in their brain. Furthermore, the punishment (which Sproul calls works) is evidence of true repentence. To hold otherwise is to ignore the temporal effect of sin. I guess that if a person of the reformed faith returned a wallet they stole that would be a work and therefore, the reformed faith is now a works religion. The reformation was much more of a political movement than a theological movement because the theology spawned by the reformation is theological relativism without any connection to history. Man's personal interpreation of scripture is what controls, not some church, within the halls of the reformed faith.cwdlaw223https://www.blogger.com/profile/02451813257438815066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4588905705506605875.post-83625862766612891332012-10-01T08:41:01.323-07:002012-10-01T08:41:01.323-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.cwdlaw223https://www.blogger.com/profile/02451813257438815066noreply@blogger.com
