    Daily Light

    Sunday, 13th September 2015 MORNING If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. John 7:37 My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. Psa. 84:2 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth...

    Job

    That God calls some men perfect and upright. There are other lessons, but that is the first ... There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. .... And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    The Church does not have the power to change what God has revealed, she never has had any such power.

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Yes, just as the prayer said in the rosary is ours through Blessed Mary; "Holy Mary pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death". Or "Saint Bernadette pray for me to the Lord our God". These are my prayers passed on through the saints. The saints in the two passages I quoted are saints...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    It is in the Apocalypse of of saint John the theologian: (Revelation 5:8 KJV) And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. (Revelation...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I agree that some do express their respect for and honour given to Mary in effusive and sometimes disturbing terms. But I have heard people do similar things for a beloved national leader (Gandhi for example, Lincoln, Queen Elizabeth, even Napoleon) and for honoured religious teachers and those...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    Catholic and Protestant (Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox too and every one else who loves the Lord) ought to believe everything that the Lord teaches. It isn't a matter of what is essential and what is optional (or unnecessary). Everything that the Lord Jesus Christ teaches is important and ought...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    What is sufficient for the salvation of sinners ... Grace (Ephesians 2:5,8) What is necessary for the salvation of sinners .... Grace The grace of God is both the reason for and the cause of salvation but not all grace is exactly the same. Thus the grace that is necessary for salvation is the...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    The gospel according to saint Luke tells us that "all generations will call me blessed" (Luke 1:48) and surely that pre-dates the origins of the Protestant Revolt and the Reformation that followed it? And the honouring of the Blessed Virgin Mary was in place of many centuries before there was...

    Once saved always saved?

    No one is good except God alone (Matt 19:17). That is what the Lord Jesus Christ taught and the faithful believe it.

    False teachers

    Heresy is wrong teaching while a heretic is one who used to believe and teach the truth but has abandoned their former orthodox view and taken up the heresy in their teaching. The detection of heresy is not difficult but to know that one's interlocutor is a heretic is far more difficult.

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    It isn't that "more ought to be healed" it is that many are not, yet have the same profession of faith and the same quality of life (as observed by other human beings) as those who are. The differences seem to be more matters of medical treatment (especially of those who are wealthy or live in...

    Once saved always saved?

    Having reviewed the posts in this thread I see very few explanations of holy scripture in your posts and almost no quotes from holy scripture but I see plenty of assertions in them. One does not want to point out a fault on one's interlocutor's approach but it appears that your argument is...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    If healing depends on the Lord's faith, which it does, then no man or woman need fear that their weak faith or lack of faith will exclude them from the grace of God in healing. Nevertheless many men and women, both faithful and not faithful, die of accidents, injuries, and illness in this world...
