The Gospel of Grace According to Paul the Apostle to the Church in the Twenty First Century investigates the apostle's claims that: Law and Grace cannot coexist. The Law cannot make one a Christian, and it cannot make one a "better Christian." The law kills and excludes one from God. Only through Grace can one be saved, and only in Grace can one live and be everything that he or she has been called by God to be. Should one claiming to belong to Christ (the "Christian" claim) actually attempt to fulfill the Law that has already been fulfilled in Christ? What is the point of attempting to follow the Law when it is a reflection of God's nature? Can one honestly expect to please God by attempting this? Join the investigation of the doctrine that the First Century church, as well as the Protestant Reformation itself, rests on. Michael (Mike) holds an MTh in Theology, an Honorary D.D.
