@psalmsurfer1 The Catholic Fathers complicated the simplicity of the gospel of Christ! Judaism has no Original Sin teaching, but that is ignore in the serpent's teachings.
@rkhufu7 I'm guessing you are fundamentalist. I attend both evangelical church and Catholic traditional church. Fundamentalists create division by falsely accusing catholic and other denominational churches of false doctrine. I have seen both sides and abhor the division I see in God's church. Learn about Catholicism history and the good it has done and learn with an unbiased and uncondemning open-mind. False accusation of Marian doctrine by uneducated fundamentalists is extremely dangerous.
@rkhufu7 Ontop of what the above says; Augustine is using a play on words here. Forcing open his deafness is referring to Augustine's stubborness to finally give in to God's call on his life for greatness. He basically says God had to open all my vitals Himself in order for me to have the scales fall from his eyes because if not for God's grace and favor Augustine would have remained as he was in his sin. Have you ever read Confessions? He denounces almost every false teaching that ever was..
@psalmsurfer1 God doesn't force us to do anything. This is how we know Augustine and his pagan teachings were not of God. His teachings are the base for all false teachings.
