    Sometimes Have This Problem

    I do not know if prayer and a blessing help when a person is feeling very overwhelmed but you are in my prayer and I ask that God bless and keep you safe from harm of every kind. I have some experience with worry and some with grief so in my own way I understand some of what you are facing. Take...

    Justification - Part 2

    Well said brother Arsenios. Faith and grace both grow by what we do as well as what we learn in the doing. Without doing there is no growth.

    Justification - Part 2

    You realise I hope, brother MennoSota, that it is the honourable pot that fulfils the honourable purposes that God intends it to be used for and the same applied to the pot for dishonourable purposes. The pot does the work not God. God does not perform the honourable and dishonourable works...

    Justification - Part 2

    To get a proper understanding of the verses quoted by MennoSota it is well to read the context in which they occur. Romans 9:1 I tell you, sincerely, in Christ, and my conscience assures me in the Holy Spirit, that I am not lying: 2 I have great sadness and constant anguish for the Jews. 3 I...

    Christians in the modern world

    Yes, I agree, we are far wiser and much better off leaving prophetic speculation to hobbyists and to people with nothing better to do. I am not suggesting that anybody engage in speculating on the "day and the hour" stuff. Nor year and month stuff. Not anything to do with timing. The eventual...

    Christians in the modern world

    Some say that the world will end in fire. Saint Peter's second letter says so. Perhaps it is pointing to the time when the sun will nova and expand until it finally consumes Earth. Perhaps it is about world wide nuclear war or other forms of war that will burn the world. It could be a fiery...

    Justification - Part 2

    The point being that the good works are God's works and he gives them to the faithful for them to do.

    Christians in the modern world

    Today, the human race is involved in a new stage of history. Profound and rapid changes are spreading by degrees around the whole world. Triggered by the intelligence and creative energies of man, these changes recoil upon him, upon his decisions and desires, both individual and collective, and...

    Justification - Part 2

    It means this "7 In showing us such kindness, in Christ Jesus, God willed to reveal, and unfold in the coming ages, the extraordinary riches of his grace. 8 By the grace of God, you have been saved, through faith. This has not come from you: it is God’s gift. 9 This was not the result of your...

    Justification - Part 2

    Josiah, the post you quoted was a reply to MennoSota and had nothing whatever to do with Lutherans. It was post #145 which I am including below You wrote "The RCC condemned the Lutheran position (see posts 141 and 142), not MennoSota." You are trying to inject your posts into a discussion...

    Justification - Part 2

    Josiah writes "See posts 141 and 142. What is posted there (the Lutheran position on justification) is the fundamental disagreement" but MennoSota is not a Lutheran and he did not write posts 141 & 142 MennoSota's disgreement is what he stated it was. Not what Josiah amended it to be in the...

    Justification - Part 2

    The faithful are called to do good works as the passage says (Ephesians 2:10) so they are not called to do "their works" but rather good works that God has prepared for them to do as their way of life. Good works are God's works. Together with believing in the Son of God - which the Lord himself...

    Justification - Part 2

    Indeed. Evidently an Irenic first post asking for civilised discussion and the avoidance of polemics is trouble indeed! We've had rather a lot of polemics in the thread's nearly 1,200 posts but on the whole a good deal of decent discussion has happened too. I am of the opinion that most of the...

    Apologetics

    I know anecdotally from people I know in my local Parish that Catholics rarely discuss Protestantism and mostly know only vaguely what a Baptist, for example, is. One comment I have heard when a question was raised by a lady I know who has a relative who became a Baptist was "are they (meaning...

    Condensed theology.

    To the best of my knowledge there is no Catholic systematic theology. The Catechism is really an elaboration on the Apostles' creed. It is intended for baptismal preparation. But it does cover a good amount of theology and hence is used to answer numerous questions raised by interested people...
