    Salvation

    That does appear to be what saint Paul is telling the Romans. First comes God's call, next comes Justification which saint James explains means works and not faith alone, after Justification comes glorification. Seems that no one is saved completely until the whole...

    Election

    "a person who has accepted", you say. How exactly does a "dead man" do that? I am sure that question would be asked by a monergist Calvinist. Interesting. "a certain assurance" is that a certain kind of assurance or it is assurance that is certain? Or was that just a bit of verbiage that...

    It's abhorrent.

    Some "Americans" do separate parents from their children and some "Americans" do keep the separated children in detention away from their parents. If "we" means "Americans" then some of them do what you say you do not do, right?

    Salvation

    The cut & paste worked very well, no attempt, it is a success. :smirk: It's from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Which is - I suppose - a commentary on the holy scriptures and holy Tradition. Why, I've never seen you respond to holy scripture with any sort of serious attempt to explain...

    I have never met a Calvinist who wasn't absolutely sure he/she is elect.

    Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? III. Merit You are glorified in the assembly of your Holy Ones, for in crowning their merits you are crowning your own gifts.59 2006 The term "merit" refers in general to the recompense owed by a community or a society for the...

    Refugees

    A solution is to stop sending arms and troops into nations that are becoming unstable and where revolutionaries are working to overthrow an allegedly repressive government. Let the people in a country work out their own internal problems. Sending in arms and/or troops makes an unstable situation...

    You wrote Well we aren't starving their children which in common English implies your involvement at some level either direct or indirect. Hence my reply which said Hopefully you are not directly involved in anything to do with the separation of children from their parents, especially infants...

    Salvation

    By processes all too familiar this thread is veering away from a discussion about Salvation ... I do like the prayer, but prefer it in English because I can understand English :)

    Competing ideals and philosophies

    You may want to take that up with MennoSota since he said it was an allegory. I said it is a morality tale with a lot of theology in it.

    It's abhorrent.

    Hopefully you are not directly involved in anything to do with the separation of children from their parents, especially infants and toddlers, aside from appearing to defend the practise.

    It's abhorrent.

    Many (probably most) people who can afford to be rational about a safe place to live already live in a safe country and are not transiting through another country that's unsafe. It's very easy for people in comfy home in a relatively rich country to write about what rational people ought to be...

    Election

    Pasch (Easter) is easy to explain. It falls on the first Sunday on or after the full moon that either falls on or after the equinox of 21st March. that just 22 or 23 short words in English, less in Latin. Not complicated at all.

    BY forming do you mean "writing" or do you mean "canonisation" or both or neither?

    When Jeff Sessions announced the child separation policy he sounded fairly firm about it, not pleased but not sorry either, he just said that if you are a parent with accompanying children entering the USA "illegally" then your children may (will) be taken away from you. It was supposed to be a...

    Biblical meaning - literal, allegory, or...?

    If you read it literally you read a story and some letters and whatever theology they may contain. If you read it allegorically you notice the types and shadows of the old covenant being unveiled in Christ under the new covenant. If you read it tropologically you listen to the moral teaching...

    Grace

    I didn't start this thread to find a pithy one line definition of grace and mercy. The first post says In the thread Salvation some questions were raised about "grace" One is about uncreated and created grace. Other questions were also raised. So, here is a new thread to discuss those...
