    Grace

    Grace is grace brother Arsenios. It is a gift from God no matter how it is given and no matter how it is received and the fruit that saving grace is intended to create is the goodly fruit of the Holy Spirit. [22] But the fruit of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness...

    Brown people wrote the bible

    But for all that, brother Hoffman, the people who wrote the holy scriptures were brown. Maybe not any more brown than a Syrian, maybe like a Jordanian, but brown nevertheless, not northern European not lily white just ordinary brown people. People with dark hair and brown eyes and some amount of...

    The bread of heaven

    (Exodus 16:2-4, 12-15) [2] And the entire congregation of the sons of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. [3] And the sons of Israel said to them: “If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat around bowls of meat and ate bread until...

    Works of grace.

    Sanctified living comes from the grace of God; does anybody dispute that? I can't think of anybody here who does. Yet striving to live a holy life is part of a Christian's calling in Christ. As the holy scripture says "Be ye holy for I the Lord am holy". It is spiritually good and morally...

    Brown people wrote the bible

    Individuals break the laws rather than groups so while it is true that a group can break a law - for example all the members of a family as a group can enter the USA or Italy without proper papers and thus can break a law by so doing - it is not true that a group such as "Syrians" or "Hispanics"...

    Salvation

    Jesus kept the law. That is one person who did. A man created in God's image. More than merely a man yet fully a man. Thus it is possible for a man to keep the law. And the law is just, holy, and good. Let us never denigrate the law as if it were wickedness. Weak as the law is in its ability to...

    Brother show me these posts that you allege I wrote every time any non-Catholic posts about justification; the posts that you allege "ridicule, repudiate, condemn" whatever they post on the subject. Or are you engaging in hyperbole for dramatic effect? Surely what you wrote cannot be the truth...

    Who is this "we" of whom you wrote "we were kicked out of the RCC for saying that)"? Surely you were not formally excommunicated, were you?

    Why should Christians support Israel?

    Isn't Jesus the seed who receives the promise? Galatians 3:15-29 15 Brothers (I speak according to man), if a man"s testament has been confirmed, no one would reject it or add to it. 16 The promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. He did not say, "and to descendents," as if to many...

    Salvation

    The law is not the mark because it cannot save and never could save. If the law could save then God would not have sent his Son to suffer and die. If the law could save then salvation would always have been by means of the law. Galatians 3:15-29 15 Brothers (I speak according to man), if a...

    Thanks be to God that such people are in a minority now and pray that it remains so. On an online forum it is worth giving a response because some (perhaps many) read without responding and among the readers a few (pray that it is many) will see the goodness of God in the responses and turn to...

    Works of grace.

    Grace is generous giving. It does not matter if the person deserves kindness or not. It does not matter is the person works hard or not. All that matters is that the giver chooses to give generously. Matthew 20:1-16 1 "The kingdom of heaven is like the father of a family who went out in early...

    Salvation

    The Catholic Church does not now, nor has it ever, taught a doctrine of salvation by works Additionally, nowhere in the holy scriptures is it teaught that we are saved by “faith alone.” The only place in all of the holy scriptures where the phrase “faith alone” appears is in James 2:24 and that...

    Grace

    Was there no difference between your experience and the one you allege for saint Thomas Aquinas? He was a Christian and faithful in life and deed to his calling. If he did indeed have such an encounter as you describe then he had it as a Christian, while you - if I have not misunderstood your...

    Salvation

    Trying as hard as you can you still cannot make the passage fit your view. The truth is always more persuasive than an empty argument built on a false premise. The fact is that the passage teaches that one reaps corruption from following the flesh and one reaps eternal life from following the...

    Purgatory

    Be careful about what you trust online; not every article is true nor is every post and every opinion. Take this advice - test everything; hold fast what is good. (I Thessalonians 5:21 [ESV2011])
