People with eyes to see will perfectly understand what I am asking. Observe how the poster avoids the issue. It is very clear what I am saying.
Now he acts as if he doesn't know what you're talking about.
I always had a hard time reading what Last Tradhican had to say, because his font was the default, recommended, universally standardized size.Now that he's enlarged it, though, I am captivated and very quickly coming to see the truth of his position!
Ladislaus, There it is, in this thread, Reply #9.
What is the truth of his position? Is it that the Church has not condemned the Fathers yet but some day will? I want to admit to his accusation or recant it or show it is unfounded.
To be fair to Lover of Truth, he's quoting Laisney. Another instance of the need to be careful regarding these texts of the "opinions" of theologians, doctors, etc.
I was being sarcastic. You should tone it back on all the excessive formatting, too :)
In other words, salvation, which is at the end of the Christian life on earth, only requires perseverance in the state of grace received at justification, which is at the beginning of the Christian life on earth. Baptism is the sacrament of justification, the sacrament of the beginning of the Christian life. If one has received sanctifying grace, which is the reality of the sacrament - res sacramenti - of baptism, he only needs to persevere in that grace to be saved. Perseverance in grace requires obedience to the Commandments of God, including the commandment to receive the sacrament of baptism. Thus there remains for him the obligation to receive baptism of water. But, this is no longer absolutely necessary (by necessity of means), since he has already received by grace the ultimate fruit of that means. It still remains necessary in virtue of our Lord’s precept to be baptized by water. When and if circuмstances independent of our will prevent us from fulfilling such a precept, the principle taught by St. Cyprian, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine, and others is to be applied: "God takes the will as the fact."[9] This means that God accepts the intention to receive the sacrament of baptism as equivalent to the actual reception of the sacrament.
Share a quote from me that condemns the teachings of the Fathers.
He just gave you teaching by an undeniably authoritative Christian source. Do you deny it?
What source purportedly condemns something out of my mouth that an authoritative source has not taught.
