The answer is always B - 7/8/08 - "He saved us"

Haven't done this for a while!

Which is the correct wording of Titus 3:4-7?

A. But when we'd done enough good works to satisfy God, he saved us, because of all the righteous things we had done, not so much because of his mercy. He saved us, through our careful washing of our souls everyday, and through proving ourselves to be good and faithful servants. He made sure that we had poured our lives out in generous giving (especially to our local churches), so that having been justified by our generosity and good works, he might grudgingly accept us into his kingdom.

B. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.

C. His hard drive crashed and he had forgotten to save his work. Ooops!

  1. I have to agree with Bino.

    It is moments like these I am so very, very envious of the 'Very Reverend J Slick Breeze'

    Is envy a mortal sin? Can someone please check the manual.

  2. The answer is A, so Bino you are perhaps a quarter or half way to heaven.

    Walking Church,

    That's "The Extra Supersized Very Reverend" to you.

    There's no problem with envy, as long as you envy me. How could that be a crime?
