    Some thoughts on Authority

    Divorce was never 'hard' it was just not recognised as a godly and real dissolution of a properly formed and sanctioned sacramental marriage. People have divorced for centuries, the Church rejects divorce now as she did 2,000 years ago. The only thing softened is the attitude of pastors and...

    3 Objections to the Doctrine of Election

    It is irrelevant because neither you nor I nor anybody participating in this thread knows who is elect and who is not except by presumption and presumption is not a virtue praised by God but a fault that the faithful ought to avoid.

    Some thoughts on Authority

    It has not happened; no dogma, no doctrine of the faith, and no infallibly decreed decision on morals has been reversed.

    Some thoughts on Authority

    Infallibility is a grace, a gift, from God and it applies to specific utterances and specific acts but not to created persons; specifically if a man or a woman receives a revelation from God that he commands to be made public then the public utterance of the revealed truth is infallible because...

    3 Objections to the Doctrine of Election

    The question I responded to and which I included in my reply does ask a question about what God may not have revealed. God, in general, does not reveal what an individual will do so it is irrelevant to ask if a man or a woman can do differently from what somebody alleges God already knows they...

    3 Objections to the Doctrine of Election

    Everything because though it may be true that God knows everything (and I do not doubt that it is true) it is not true that we know everything or that we know what God knows so speculating about predestination as if we did know what will come to pass or how it will or why it will is unhelpful...

    Inspiring psalms and hymns and songs.

    This is the magnificat in English, it is quite beautiful and always makes me feel deep gratitude to God for the goodness he shows to his people.

    3 Objections to the Doctrine of Election

    What will do you allege God has apart from his revealed will? Because if people can act contrary to God's revealed will as well as acting in accord with it then what question can one possibly have about this matter if it does not relate to God's revealed will.

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    Obviously one can say whatever one pleases and protestant however one likes provided that all is done within the law. And equally clearly people can ignore the protests and refuse to listen to what is said.

    3 Objections to the Doctrine of Election

    Obviously people can choose contrary to God's revealed will; clearly Adam and Eve did exactly that.

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    No 'sitting by' is implied in not acting on one's own authority as if the church were a vigilante group.

    Does Government have the right to force someone to marry homosexuals?

    I think that the government's legislation uses the name "marriage" the the civil union between two persons under the law of the land.

    Since the Nicene Creed forms the basic/fundamental definition of christianity for this site "non-christian" might be that which is contrary to the creed.

    How was Mary blessed?

    Blessed Mary is blessed because God did great things for her; Mary expresses it in a Spirit inspired hymn to God's goodness:My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call...

    They don't believe Paul

    Jesus is the final revelation of God from God so whatever saint Paul teaches it cannot be his intention to contradict the Lord or to correct him. What saint Paul writes in his letters has to be read in the light of Christ. The four canonical gospels are normative and saint Paul's letters can...
