Session Notes

Shovel Writings: The Issue of Salvation:“Salvation as an issue will always be up for grabs to whoever presents the most binding case based upon Scriptural proof-texts. Back to Top”The It is Finished argument will be debated until one realizes God’s Spirit is the final authority not Scripture.

Shovel Writings: The Religious Formula:“Such is the religious formula. And that’s what is being done witheach and every repetition of the ”sinners-prayer“. ”When we focus on the sin confess cycle we lose sight of that the Biblical letters are revealed as Jesus testimony that He took away sin.

Shovel Writings: A handle on grace:“ For whenwe categorize grace into doctrines, definitions, or nice little sayingsthat allow us to avoid the stuff that continues to haunt us we onlylearn how to mold it around those hidden fears, guilt and shame…. That’s why we add stuff to Christ even while stating that nothing canbe added.”This is the point. When we add the words of “life” or call attention to “mistakes”the gospel that Jesus finished sin is lost.
