Do you agree with my religion ?

Question

My religion is summarized by five solas:
1 Sola gratia ("by grace alone")
2 Sola fide ("by faith alone")
3 Sola scriptura ("by Scripture alone")
4 Solus Christus ("Christ alone")
5 Soli Deo gloria ("Glory to God alone")

i.e., we are saved by “grace alone”, by “faith alone” and by “Christ alone”. We are saved to “glory God alone” by applying “Scripture alone” to every sphere of our life.

If not, explain why.

Answer 1

I agree with you since you are agreeing with Scripture.

Answer 2

Well you have quite the predicament... According to your "solas" each person would have to have 5 personalities where each one embraces one of the solas. Since we are not all diagnosed with multiple-personality disorder, I guess your religion has a pitfall.

Or you are implying that you can basically choose which one of the solas to be saved by, regardless of the other 4.

But I must say I disagree with your religion. Of your five solas, only one of them somewhat applies to what all mortals are commanded and that is "Glory to God alone".

Every mortal is commanded to give honor and worship to the Gods because it is They who created us and our world and it is the Gods who sustain its existence and grant our afterlife. Regardless of what you believe, whether you are atheist or Christian or Buddhist you must give the worship that is due to the Gods.

Simply believing or reading is not enough, you must strive to live and respect the Peace of the Gods. To upset the Peace of the Gods is to endanger your current life and the life you will have in the here-after.

And belief and the emulation of the Christus is simply hubris, the worst of all grievous sins. Men are not Gods and therefore should be careful to not insult the Gods by acting as such or be tricked into believing/following those men who think they are Gods.

I shall pray to the Shinging Father and the Mother of the Gods for your soul, I pray good prayers that you are given good sign and omen to change your ways.

Answer 3

Ah, Lutheran. Right? Aren't these the basic points of the Reformation? But what I won't to ask you is why? Why do you believe these things? Why do you believe the Bible is a faithful witness all by itself. There've been many books claiming to be a book from the divine, why do you believe the Bible over those other books? Is it because you've prayed and received a revelation from God in your heart telling you these things are true? Or is it based on 2,000 years of Christian tradition? Woops, sorry your church hasn't been around that long. SO my question is, what is the motivating factor leading you to believe these things, other than a preacher telling you you should and reading the Bible in a paradigm that inforces these preconceived theological points on to the text.

Answer 4

your religion is seperate from the concepts listed in your "manifesto".

Grace alone means you dont need the either four.

This applies for all 5.

I believe the concept your applying is more so Sola gratia et fide et scriptura et Kristos et Deo gloria.

Answer 5

No - I dislike number 3. My tradition accords Scripture the same weight as the traditions of the Church and human reason: it's sometimes called the 'three-legged stool'.

I also sense some conflict between number 1 and number 2.

Answer 6

Sola scriptura is not scriptural. Scripture tells us to "stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by letter." (2 Thessalonians 2:15)

Answer 7

Well first of all you are contradicting yourself over and over. If something is saving you alone means nothing else is doing it.

Which means if it is grace it can't be faith, Christ or to glory God.
However if it would be faith it couldn't be grace, Christ, ot to glory God.
If it would be Christ then it couldn't be grace, faith, or to glory God.
And lastly if it is to glory God then it can't be grace, faith or Christ! PICK ONE!

Answer 8

We are saved by the grace (love) of Jesus Christ alone, however, that salvation by grace comes through faith and works.

If you say there are five things alone, they are not alone, they are together.

Answer 9

I dont agree with Rome. Or 99% of Christianity

Something cannot be done "alone" by 5 seperate things.

Answer 10

Also says: Faith without works is dead in its self.
So it isn't by Grace alone. A truly selfish person is not saved.
By faith alone then why did Jesus say in Matthew 7:21
Not everyone saying to me Lord, Lord will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, "Lord, Lord did we not prophesy in your name and expell demons in your nameand perform mamy powerful works in your name?" and yet I will confess to them I never knew you. Get away from me you workers of lawlessness.
Everyone who believes is not going to be saved.

Answer 11

I'm a Christan "saved by faith not works lest any man should boast"
but you keep saying alone, if you have so many alones how is it alone thing and not a combined thing?
