Ch. 4 Subsection 2: Justification by Works

In this episode, we break down “Justification by Works” from The Two Babylons and examine the claim that salvation through human effort didn’t originate in Christianity but traces back to ancient Babylonian religion.

We explore how systems of penance, ritual, and priestly mediation shifted the focus from grace to works, and what that means for spiritual freedom today. Is salvation something you earn—or something already finished?

This episode challenges tradition, exposes historical parallels, and asks one central question:

Are we trusting in what’s been done… or in what we do?
