Faith & Works - the dividing Christian argument

I think that all Christians believe that you are saved by God's Grace, but does it end there?   Well let's look at the Bible... Epistle of St Paul to the Ephesians, Chapter 2 8  For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;    9  Not of works , that no man may glory. This seems to clearly state that works are not needed, but let's read on. 10  For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.

Catholic Mass & Priesthood and Christs sacrifice

God created Leviticus Priesthood; in this how did sin get cleansed? Before the Leviticus priesthood there was the Priesthood of Melchizedek. Who set that in place - the Bible does not tell us, but understanding theology can give us all the clues we need. Christ's sacrifice is the one and eternal sacrifice where ALL sins are forgiven - IF (and that's a big if) you confess. - Who does the Bible tell us to confess our sins? - Who did Christ give power to forgive sins? - How do your and my sins get pinned to Christ's cross? Deep thoughts of utter importance to your eternity. Have you really looked under the hood of the Catholic Church -or- do you take comfort from afar and from what you've learned but not confirmed? https://www.fisheaters.com/mass.html
