Question via email
Dad,
How do you feel about works as they relate to your faith/Christianity?
XXXX
The pervasive problem with many versions of “Christianity” is the notion that Heaven is a reward for something they have done.
The formula is: Person + Good deeds + Christ = Heaven.
The odd thing is, nothing in the scriptures support this much maligned, “I” centered view?
In my own life, I could have no more chosen Christ than I could have chosen the eye color of my daughter or the curls on her head.
Why believers choose to complicate matters and make faith such an unappealing lifestyle by adding to, is beyond me.
It’s not Christ +…simply Christ.

Someone doesn’t like the book of James. ;) Jk, just some teasing and appreciation from a Catholic follower. :) I do agree though, people always get into this reward notion and it’s terrible. GRACE, people. GRACE. :)
