    Salvation

    The Lord speaks to Jews about the nations of the world in Matthew 25:31-46. The ones judged are the people of the nations, including Jews, and the ones who are faithful in deeds as well as putting their faith in the Lord are given eternal life in the kingdom prepared for them from the foundation...

    Hunger and thirst after ...

    Fasting may not be what the Lord intended in the beatitude. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied. (Matthew 5:6). Fating may help to train the soul to hunger after God but it may not, it depends on what is happening in the interior of the heart & mind...

    Is your creed catholic, Catholic, or Christian?

    Yes, it is from Questions to Thalassium 63. I do not have a web link to a sample of the Greek text used in the translation that I posted. I imagine that the Greek text exists online somewhere, such things usually do, but I do not have a link for you. The council of Florence offered the Greek...

    Quotes from Martin Luther

    Rather crude but the remark is on par for the times. Saint Thomas More wrote some crude replies to Martin Luther, some of them as the behest of King Henry VIII.

    Should abortion be illegal?

    What penalty ought there be for a woman who decides to have an abortion at 8 months, or 6 months, or 2 months into the pregnancy and ought that penalty be different from the penalty for a mother who kills her already born infant child?

    Salvation

    You're wrong about that, The thread is about salvation and nobody is "saved" until it is all over. Matthew 25:31-46 tells the story better than any opinion offered by parroting some 16th century ex-monk's theology.

    "we venerate one God in the Trinity, and the Trinity in oneness. . . . The Father was not made nor created nor begotten by anyone. The Son is from the Father alone, not made nor created, but begotten. The Holy Spirit is from the Father and the Son, not made nor created nor begotten, but...

    Every Christians remains in Christ's love by obeying Christ's commandments. John 15:10 You will remain in my love if you keep my commandments, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and remain in his love.

    Salvation

    People are saved by grace through faith for the purpose of doing the good works that God prepared for them as their way of life. Righteous Seth, Enoch who pleased God, Job who Jehovah said was upright and perfect, Blessed Mary who is called full-of-grace were all saved by grace.

    Salvation

    Yes, brother psalms 91, the verse is clear but for some their theology fogs the verse. Saint James was echoing the teaching of the Lord, Jesus Christ, when he wrote that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. Jesus taught that a branch in the vine can remain in the vine only by...

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Do you think so? Government leaders have a way of making the law and the power of the state less just than their words make them appear. What penalties will the state enact in its laws against abortion, will they be just and holy and good? Is the justice in a society increased by state fiat?

    James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, to profess faith, without showing works? Such faith has no power to save you. 15 If a brother or sister is in need of clothes or food, 16 and one of you says, “May things go well for you; be warm and satisfied,” without attending to their...

    Should abortion be illegal?

    A Christian can rightly say that abortion is immoral without desiring that the state and all the authority of the state be applied to make abortion illegal.

    Salvation

    That's not right. It is persons who are judged, not works. The passage says "You call upon a Father who makes no distinction between persons, but judges, according to each one’s deeds" No, we do not agree if you change what holy scripture says so that in your version is it "works" that are...
