    Competing ideals and philosophies

    I like Catholic Church devotional books. I am not so keen on individually authored ones because some of them are a bit strange. I use The Liturgy of the Hours and an excerpted edition of the liturgy of the hours called Morning and Evening Prayer

    Plan to divide California into three states

    No!!!!!!!!!!! We don't want 'em :P I doubt that the Kiwis want 'em. I even have doubts that Canada wants 'em. But Canada would be their best bet. And it isn't because they are weird as Lamm suggested, it is because their accents would trouble us no end!

    Plan to divide California into three states

    Yes, let them join with Canada, and Oregon, Washington, Main, New York, and so on. Then the predominantly Republican states could form their own country, call it the USA if they like, and all will be well ... for a few days anyway.

    Restaurant refuses service to Huckabee Sanders

    Additional information causes me to reassess my earlier comment. It appears that the staff voted to ask Sara to leave and the owner conveyed their wishes - the staff were uncomfortable with Sara being in the restaurant - Sara and her friends had already been served appetisers for which they were...

    Arsenios, I created a thread called Grace to discuss uncreated and created grace.

    I am not sure why this matters since saint James makes it clear that he is using the word "faith" mostly to designate belief without works and belief without the-life-of-Christ in a good part of chapter two of his letter. He refers to the 'faith' (belief) of demons and he refers to faith that is...

    Grace

    The definition of grace The greatness of the gift of grace may be judged from the Biblical declarations of the effect of justification. Justification is a passage from the state of sin to the state of grace; from the old to the new man; from the mere flesh to the life of the spirit; from...

    Grace

    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 specific issues. They do relate to Salvation but they also are a subject in themselves.

    Saint Paul never mentions "faith alone" so where do these "two" different meanings arise? Saint James does mention "faith alone" and he says it is dead. That is one meaning. But where is the other "meaning"? It isn't in saint Paul because he doesn't ever say "faith alone" and evidently never...

    I imagine it is taught because the teachers believe it to be true. Is it true in your opinion? But be careful to look at what is written rather than what is perceived or reasoned to be the "meaning" of what is written.

    The difficulty that appears to be confusing you is that saint James tells us he is writing about faith without works to which he refers as "faith alone" and saint Paul is writing about faith that is active in love, that is to say faith with works. But saint Paul also writes about works of the...

    That is not right. Catholic teaching agrees with saints Paul and James, mainly because both saints are repeating in various ways and according to the needs of their congregations/readers what Jesus said.

    Do you think that saints Paul and James were contradicting one another?

    You do me too much honour. I repeated the words that saint James wrote. James 2:21 ... Think of our father Abraham. Was he not justified by the act of offering his son Isaac on the altar? 22 So you see, his faith was active, along with his works, and became perfect by what he did. 23 The word of...

    I am beginning to wonder if capital first letters mean God or if they mean "I am giving emphasis to this" :P

    I may be mistaken but when you wrote "Grace" you're referring to God who is uncreated and when I referred you to the incarnation the same God is being discussed.
