    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    The holy scriptures in some English translations have the word "predestination" but that is not the same thing as teaching a doctrine of predestination that is like the one that John Calvin taught. The Catholic Church does a fine job of teaching what the holy scriptures teach. Some take a...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    I care and maybe some others want to see and understand for themselves what Catholics teach. It is a courtesy to offer the information and, God willing, a mercy to show God's grace in Christianity Haven.

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    "Predestined" is mentioned once in the Catechism of the Catholic Church Compendium in answer 67. 67. For what purpose did God create man and woman? God has created everything for them; but he has created them to know, serve and love God, to offer all of creation in this world in thanksgiving...

    Doubts in my Church

    Mercy and grace get a lot of play time in Christian Theology threads so it probably is under discussion there. I like mercy. It comforts me to rest in God's mercy.

    I know it's slightly corny ... For years the Catholic Church has had posters and church notices that says "come home" :)

    What message do you take away from Job?

    The story of Job is a morality tale. It is a little bit like the story of Jonah and the story of Tobit. But I was wondering what you each take away from reading God's long speech near the end of the story of Job?

    When do you put the Christmas tree up?

    I've never put up a tree myself. They are pretty and all but never seem essential. Try setting aside some money each week (or day) in advent and then give it to the needy.

    When do you put the Christmas tree up?

    But you don't put up the tree until Christmas season. Families used to decorate the tree together and place the presents under the tree on Christmas eve. That is not how people do it now because the meaning of the things done on Christmas eve is forgotten. IN some countries the tree was placed...

    Christian Denomination Selector Quiz

    It probably wouldn't. :smirk: By my reply was to the statement "You're ever the risk taker. MC" so I pointed out that some risks are not worth taking even if the temptation is as lovely as a dodgy web quiz :P

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    I have no idea what Lutherans teach on the matter. Do all Lutherans teach the same thing? I get the impression that there are differences between "confessional" and other Lutherans. Catholic theologians write all sorts of things and they speculate about all sorts of things but their writings...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    Catholics think that God sees things differently from human beings so if God sees everything all at once what does it matter? We don't see that way and we are stuck with our way of seeing. We can't really figure out what seeing all of time all at once and being able to shape it is like, it is...

    Okay, let's talk about predestination

    To me predestination seems like a topic that people talk about when they are bored nearly witless.
