    Justification

    There must be a motive for the evasive answers but what it is I do not know. Catholic theologians seem more than willing to give answers to questions that are asked even if the answers displease the persons asking. :ange06:

    Justification

    I think it may be hard because you are Orthodox and that is (according to many Protestants) the same as being Catholic and in CH Catholic beliefs are wrong wrong wrong! according to a number of members who are active in this thread. So when you ask "Do the Reformed believe that it is the...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    The pope is not a Lutheran, he doesn't do "law versus gospel" or "law and gospel" sermons. That's a Lutheran theological matter. I posted a story reporting more of what was said and the circumstances under which it was said. I have not yet found a transcript of everything that was said by...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    ===== After circling a massive, crumbling public housing complex on the outskirts of Rome, Pope Francis had an emotional encounter with the neighbourhood’s children. Question-and-answer sessions with youngsters are a standard part of Pope Francis’ parish visits. And, at St. Paul of the Cross...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    Have you watched the entire media event, the parts that came before the little Emaneule cried at the microphone, the 30 minutes and more that preceded that? Do you know what Francis said before the video snippet in the first post of this thread?

    Hibernia is Ireland, so whoops. I ought to have said Caledonia and therefore Caledonian coffee. Just to help folk along I say Justification and you say something else but I mean being made right with God being made just not merely declared to be righteous but actually becoming like Jesus Christ...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    Jesus said "If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced, even if someone rises from the dead." A comment from Francis at a small media event is a very poor second behind one rising from the dead and yet Jesus says that the world will not listen even if one rises...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    The world has Jesus and the apostles, let them listen to them. If the world will not hear Jesus then it will not be convinced by the pope answering a little boy's tear filled question.

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    You are right. The pope is first and foremost a pastor and his answer is pastoral. It's not the place or time to give a dissertation on theology when a little boy whose father died recently is crying and asking for comfort. Yet some will make a dispute out of anything. It is disgusting I reckon...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    And what answer ought Francis have given to the little boy? To Emanuele whose father died recently and who couldn't speak a word at the microphone for crying and who whispered in Francis' ear and received a whispered answer and then after Francis and Emanuele were finished and the little boy...

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    The little boy, Emanuele, needed an answer. Was what Francis said "true"? Maybe. Did Francis hear something more than the English translation says? Yes, I think he did. And sister Lämmchen, what was wrong, specifically, in the words spoken by Francis? The English translation for what the pope...

    I usually put Scotch in my coffee so technically that would make it Hibernian coffee I guess :disgonbegood:

    Did the Pope speak the truth?

    The English translation for what the pope and the crowd said in Italian is: If only we could cry like Emanuele when we have pain in our Hearts. He cries for his papa who died, and had the courage to do so before us because there is love in his heart for his papa. I asked Emanuele permission to...

    There really are Protestants who say "The Bible is God"

    I believe that the holy scriptures (all 73 books in the canon) are inspired by God and are useful for equipping Christians to know and do those things that God calls Christians to know and do. I call the holy scriptures "the word of God" but hesitate to capitalise the W in word because the holy...

    Justification

    We do have many many parishes and most have buildings and those that do not yet will, with the help of the brethren in the faith and by their own generosity and efforts, acquire a building soon, God willing. And the fun is partly in our worship - because what can bring greater joy than to serve...

    Justification

    In practise nearly every Protestant lives like a Catholic Christian or an Orthodox Christian. All Christians believe in Jesus Christ, all walk with him in faith and in obedience and all hope for heaven and final rest from constantly warring against the wickedness we combat in this world and the...

    Justification

    The advantage that your reply has, brother ImaginaryDay2, is that you read and apparently understood the first post in this thread and other posts that offer Catholic insight into the use and meaning of the word "justification" so you're commenting civilly without polemics about why those who...
