27¶Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
If Jesus has the words of eternal life, why do we need words like irresistible grace when there are no words like that in the scriptures? Why do we need words like sovereign grace? Why do we need words like limited atonement, unconditional election, perseverance of the saints, original sin, covenant of grace, the gift of faith, covenant of law, total depravity, or why do we need the word depravity at all? The word sovereignty, not a bible word or concept that God wants to put forth. Why do we need doctrines that teach grace alone, when salvation in the scriptures has words that say that salvation is by "grace" through "faith?" Why do we have less than honest people declaring that faith is a work when the scriptures says words like "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness"
