Well,in a way it's Pauline too...dying to yourself, being crucified etc...that's where some Lutherans had problems with the letter of James...but to me it simply stresses to do something for HIM & others once you received the gift...but not earning salvation.
May be I should get ahold of the book one day...cause I hate to do people injustice...her too...because "bouts of doubts" can happen...but
rounds of rosicrucians wouldn't do for sure.
The RCC is filled with lots of little goodwilled people & a pretty bad hierarchy to govern them...
but I figure, they like it that way..."the bauty of conservatism"...old "landmarks"
Although I must admit, there are old/early christian things really to preserve & to defend & sometimes the RCC does a good job in that...not enough to join them though.(Funny the links between the RCC and some charismatics...Kuhlmann joined them years back etc.)
