"Whether faith is of a poor doubtful...I wrote:<br />"Whether faith is of a poor doubtful quality or whether it shines with heroic confidence ultimately makes no difference."<br /><br />Upon reflection I am less than comfortable with this statement and wish to clarify it. (One can only say so much on a sheet 5.5 x 8.5 at 10 pt font.)<br /><br />This statement could easily be misleading in that I seem to be pitting grace and faith into opposition and even to imply that faith is unimportant. My intent was to assert the priority of Divine grace, which creates, sustains and perfects our faith. The centurion is further along in spiritual progress than the leper and Jesus commends him for it. We may hope that the leper arrived at the same level of maturity. <br />LKWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
