Pelagianism Explained | Do We Earn Salvation or Receive Grace?
Do we save ourselves by choosing good, or are we saved by God’s grace? Dr. Christopher Mooney and Dr. Jim Prothro from the Augustine Institute unpack the heresy of Pelagianism—a subtle but dangerous error that denies the reality of original sin and reduces grace to mere “helpful advice.” 👉 In this episode, you’ll learn: o Who Pelagius was and why he clashed with St. Augustine o What Pelagianism teaches about original sin, free will, and grace o Why “God helps those who help themselves” has a Pelagian ring o The difference between Pelagianism and semi-Pelagianism o How Scripture (especially Ephesians 2 and Philippians 2) refutes Pelagian ideas o Why the Church insists salvation is always the gift of God’s grace o How the Council of Trent reaffirmed the truth about justification and grace By understanding Pelagianism, Catholics today can better rejoice in the truth that “we love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19) and that salvation is God’s gift—never something we can earn on our own ▶ Learn more about your Catholic Faith on Formed: https://bit.ly/4b2YO6W ▶ Sign Up for Formed: https://bit.ly/3wajQla ▶ Support this channel and the Augustine Institute on the Mission Circle: https://bit.ly/4b8DoFF #HeresySeries #PelagianismDebate #GraceAndFreeWill #christiantheology #DivineLove ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FIND ANSWERS ON SOCIAL: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔔 SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE: youtube.com/c/formedcatholic?sub_conf... ▶ FACEBOOK: / formedcatholic ▶ INSTA: / formedcatholic ▶ Augustine Institute FACEBOOK PAGE: / augustineinst
