    Salvation

    I know. I created this thread. And it is about salvation. Baptism is an inextricable component of salvation. And you asked "who is the saviour?" to which I replied that Jesus Christ is the saviour. I also added that the passage from the CCC on baptism answers the question that you asked by...

    Chosen by God.

    No, that is not what I asked. I did not ask why? I asked by what means? and the passage quoted in post #1 points to the message of the truth as the means by which the choosing of God is accomplished. By his own choice the Father made us his children by the message of the truth, so that we should...

    Okay, sorry if my example was a little boring :) It was well intended.

    Salvation

    Josiah posted an interesting passage. It was: We know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will...

    Salvation

    Let Josiah say what Lutherans believe about salvation and baptism. What do Anglicans believe about baptism and salvation? Catholic Church teaching is as I presented it earlier. Specifically: VII. The Grace of Baptism 1262 The different effects of Baptism are signified by the perceptible...

    An old road to life.

    I see, so you're thinking of obsolete as being like the old model that was superseded by a newer model - like my i7 2600K being obsolete because the newer i7 8600K is available and way faster and better at almost everything than the old one was.

    What does it mean?

    Be holy 1 Peter 1:13 So, then, let your spirit be ready. Be alert, with confident trust, in the grace you will receive, when Jesus Christ appears. 14 Like obedient children, do not return to your former life, given over to ignorance and passions. 15 Imitate the one who called you. As he is holy...

    An old road to life.

    You are correct. Yet Jesus said he came not to abolish the law but to fulfil it and Hebrews says that the old covenant is obsolete so do you think that maybe "old covenant" is not exactly the same thing as "the Law and the Prophets" that Jesus mentions?

    Innocence.

    We do, and is there any consequence or consequences that follow from meeting him?

    Chosen by God.

    But isn't God's choice mediated by a process, a set of means, rather than by an unmediated act that just suddenly lands a chap in the state of "being saved"? The passage I quoted in the first post says … by the message of the truth, so that we should be a sort of first-fruits of all that he...

    Ten Commandments.

    In the Law God gave Israel commandments. The first giving of the commandments is recorded in Exodus 20 and a second giving of them is recorded in Deuteronomy 5. Here they are, numbered in the traditional Catholic enumeration suggested by saint Augustine: Exodus 20: 1 God spoke all these words...

    An old road to life.

    The book of Hebrews says: Hebrews 8:1 The main point of what we are saying is that we have a high priest. He is seated at the right hand of the divine majesty, in heaven, 2 where he serves as minister of the true temple and Sanctuary, set up not by any mortal, but by the Lord. 3 A high priest...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Some folk need proof texts. Of course when the proof texts do not suit their theology they can't "see" them. They are "taken out of context" or some other excuse to enable the proof-text seeker to ignore the texts. Patient instruction may work, prayer will work, but how and when is a mystery.

    Salvation

    Jesus Christ, the Son of God and God in the flesh is the saviour and none other. This answer has been given by me many times before. You never see it, it seems, so you ask and ask again and get the answer again and again and never seem to see it. Perhaps it is not the answer that you want and...

    Salvation

    My replies were primarily to questions raised by Josiah and he asked about salvation - which is the topic of this thread - so I replied with Catholic teaching about salvation - which is about baptism. Josiah offered his opinion about Catholic teaching based on what he says his teachers told him...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    For you it seems like magic. For a Catholic it is implied by what Jesus says of himself through the four evangelists (authors of the four canonical gospels) and saint Paul. Jesus is the King of the kingdom of God and Jesus is the head of the body of Christ as well as the presence of the kingdom...

    Leaven or unleavened bread

    Do you not believe that the Lord, Jesus Christ, is the [new] leaven of the kingdom of God? Matthew 13:33 He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into three measures of flour, until all of it was leavened." 1 Corinthians 10:17 For we...
