    What is God's role in salvation?

    Where did I write that election was from anyone but God? God chose Israel and among the chosen people, the elect of God, some found repentance and received life with the hope of eternal life in the resurrection. As you quoted "not all Israel is Israel" not all the chosen receive the gift of...

    What is God's role in salvation?

    Amen. Election was of a people and repentance was the gate through which individuals among the chosen people entered into life and through which they received the promise of eternal life.

    concupiscentia

    Doing good becomes a habit of mind and body which is indeed a path to God's favour and grace. Being good is a good thing. Do not allow anybody to convince you that it is not.

    I know this is a wordy quote in reply but it comes from a lexicon ... (II) With a dat.: (A) Place in the same sense and circumstances as epí with the gen. so that the Greek poets often used the gen. and dat. interchangeably, while in prose the dat. is more usual.

    In Greek the passage says Διὰ τοῦτο ὥσπερ δι᾿ ἑνὸς ἀνθρώπου ἡ ἁμαρτία εἰς τὸν κόσμον εἰσῆλθεν καὶ διὰ τῆς ἁμαρτίας ὁ θάνατος, καὶ οὕτως εἰς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὁ θάνατος διῆλθεν, ἐφ᾿ ᾧ πάντες ἥμαρτον· -* In Latin is says propterea sicut per unum hominem in hunc...

    That is what I did, except I used a different source. My source is a bot I wrote some years back that runs on several IRC networks. It serves bible texts and the CCC as well as the Catechism of the Council of Trent. I think I also added the Quran and the New World Translation of the Holy...

    Romans 5:12 does not appear to say death causes sin. Romans 5:12-21* Therefore, as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin; and so death passed unto all men, for that all sinned:-- *13* for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law...

    concupiscentia

    406 The Church's teaching on the transmission of original sin was articulated more precisely in the fifth century, especially under the impulse of St. Augustine's reflections against Pelagianism, and in the sixteenth century, in opposition to the Protestant Reformation. Pelagius held that man...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    After reading the slurs posted by MennoSota and the bait put out by Albion all I want to say is that I much prefer to read the Catechism and associate with its content and spirit than with the language and attitude evident in the posts from the two posters mentioned.

    As people read through this thread they will be able, God willing, to see what The Catechism of the Catholic Church says and be freed from reliance on your negative comments unsupported by evidence. IN BRIEF 44 Man is by nature and vocation a religious being. Coming from God, going toward God...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    It is useful for people to see what The Catechism of the Catholic Church says rather than for them to accept without evidence the derogatory comments you've posted about it. If you have any specific examples where the Catechism is at fault or in need of improvement then present them. If you have...

    Jesus Christ, died for all

    I believe that there are 2000+ paragraphs in the 500 or so pages of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I could, given enough posts and time post all of them for you if you are keen to read them all - it appears that you are unfamiliar with the Catechism given your comments - but I'd rather...

    The next part of chapter one says: II. Ways of Coming to Know God 31 Created in God's image and called to know and love him, the person who seeks God discovers certain ways of coming to know him. These are also called proofs for the existence of God, not in the sense of proofs in the natural...

    God still chooses.

    But you express almost nothing but disrespect for all things allegedly Arminian. So why use an image of Menno Simons as your avatar?
