Are Sacraments Narrow Answers


1.      Ludwig’s problem is that he doesn’t understand the meaning of grace , impaired through the sacraments.

2.      The church is not thinking about grace when it comes to sacramentality when they don’t propose sacraments to deny God’s universal love to save us and the church doesn’t hold that un baptized people of good will denied salvation because they haven’t been baptized.

3.      The church is thinking about grace when it comes to sacramentality when they are against Christian sects who assert the damnation of people, the church is with force to sternly condemn any doctrine that limits the scope of God’s redemption to anything less than every soul created by God and they are careful to point out the salvation is essentially a relationship.

4.      God reveals and give to each individual human being his universally offered grace by the Incarnate Son of God; the church sacraments are an extension of his power and work in the world.

5.      The Christian doctrine that is the foundation for the sacraments is God’s omnipotent as well as his creation and communication, will, towards each human soul.

6.      The gobs of modern spirituality tell us that it often speaks as though God is sort of extended and will discredit himself the crudeness of matter. It also tells that to be spiritual is to be more or less ghostly and to dwell in the realm of institutions and concepts and secret mental revelations that are unknown to those who are less highly evolved.

7.      The Christian repudiation of such spiritual snobbery was declared good in the beginning of creation, but God has continued to manifest himself though it until God came into physical form of Jesus Christ, spirit, body and soul.

8.      No, in fact it was so that Jesus could rise from the dead and be resurrected so that there would be a renewal and redemption not just for our disembodied spirits. With Christ dying we are free from the bondage of decay and our soul will be able to go into heaven.

9.      Sacramental worldviews sees more than just a symbol in a sacrament because of God’s gracious power where he reveals himself through grace as the hands, breath, body, blood, spirit, soul and divinity of Christ. Also through artistic ways of poetry and paintings as well as lover imparts love through a physical kiss.

10.  What G.K. Chesterton means by what he said was the understanding between the sacramental real presence in the Eucharist and the universal grace of God through sacramentality, omnipotent, and the savior Christ who, because of him, saved us through his sacrifice and has open up heaven. Through Chesterton’s words he is reiterating everything said in this essay to emphasize the importance of God, grace and how He affects us.

11.  What grace does is allow people to see God through his symbols, know compassion, survival and access to God, and protection of a remainder to be saved, a chance in the holy place, new life, light to our eyes.
