121 | Can a true christian lose salvation? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 110973 | ||
Jonny, I think once you are inside the Pearly gates everone will agree that salvation can not be lost. Before that point there are differing onpinions all support by various scripture passages that the two parties disagree about on interpretation. It seems wise to just cut to the chase on this line of questioning. You can see all the arguments in the archives by typing assurance of salavtion or eteranl security in the Quick Search box.

Colin, I knowq what you mean. The Catholic market in this country is only 25 percent of all Christians compared to 75 percent of the market for Protestant publishers. That may have something to do with it. And you are correct about Bible reading in the sense that catholics tend to be more sacrament focused and absorb most of their scripture at Mass rather than private reading, although that is slowly changing.

Hood Rat, God and in this case Scripture does not answer the why question. God does what He does because He chooses to and not having to explain to anyone else, rarely does. However there were two secular ditties on the question. Written by a Gentile How odd of God to choose the Jews. Responded to by a Jew. G-D chose the Jews, because Goyim annoy Him. Emmaus |

Samm, "God's free initiative demands man's free response, for God has created man in His image by conferring on him, along with freedom, the power to know Him and love Him. The soul only enters freely into the communion of love. God immediately touches and directly moves the heart of man. He has placed in man a longing for truth and goodness that only He can satisfy." http://198.62.75.1/www1/CDHN/salve.html#SALVATION Emmaus |

130 | If | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 112063 | ||
Iluvatar, With a nod to JRRT may I suggest that the mystery of predestination and free wil is no mor difficult or easy that the concept that God is perfectly both just and merciful. Exacly how that is worked out in prefection is know to God alone. We know only that both predestination and free will are asserted in Scripture. That being said let me offer a fee thoughts for consideration, which will not solve the mystery but may shed some light on it. "1742 Freedom and grace. The grace of Christ is not in the slightest way a rival of our freedom when this freedom accords with the sense of the true and the good that God has put in the human heart. On the contrary, as Christian experience attests especially in prayer, the more docile we are to the promptings of grace, the more we grow in inner freedom and confidence during trials, such as those we face in the pressures and constraints of the outer world. By the working of grace the Holy Spirit educates us in spiritual freedom in order to make us free collaborators in his work in the Church and in the world: Almighty and merciful God, in your goodness take away from us all that is harmful, so that, made ready both in mind and body, we may freely accomplish your will. 600 To God, all moments of time are present in their immediacy. When therefore he establishes his eternal plan of "predestination", he includes in it each person's free response to his grace: "In this city, in fact, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place."[Acts 4:27-28; cf Psalms 2:1-2] For the sake of accomplishing his plan of salvation, God permitted the acts that flowed from their blindness.[cf Matthew 25:54; John 18:36; 19:11; Acts 3:17-18] 1037 God predestines no one to go to hell; for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":[2 Peter 3:9]... 2012 "We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him . . . For those whom he fore knew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the first-born among many brethren. And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified."[Romans 8:28-30 2002 God's free initiative demands man's free response, for God has created man in his image by conferring on him, along with freedom, the power to know him and love him. The soul only enters freely into the communion of love. God immediately touches and directly moves the heart of man. He has placed in man a longing for truth and goodness that only he can satisfy. The promises of "eternal life" respond, beyond all hope, to this desire:.." If nothing else avails, pray that God willl greet you personally like Saint Paul by knowking you off your horse and convincing you in person. It has happened to me an innumerable others. It can happen to you too. The Catechism Emmaus |

babyblue, I have a woman co-worker who was, shall we say, "unlucky in love and marriage."

Brad, "Those who were "baptized into Moses" were the Egyptians- who's baptism (water) was unto death. Moses and the Israelites, on the other hand recieved a "dry" baptism and lived!" I don't see how the actual text supports your interpretation. The "all" repeatedly mention refers to "all our ancestors", the Israelites who were "baptized into Moses" even as are baptized into Christ. The "cloud and the sea" are as the "spirit and water" of baptism. The spiritual "food and drink", manna and water from the rock, are as the Eucharist, body and blood of Christ, the manna come down from heaven, the bread of life. The point Paul is making is that although baptism is important and God "saves" by it, we can still fall away as did many of those Israelites who were " all under the cloud and passed through the sea." "Yet God was not pleased with them and struck them down in the desert." (Numbers 14:26-29; Jude 5) "I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our ancestors were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea, and all of them were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. All ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they drank from a spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was the Christ. Yet God was not pleased with most of them, for they were struck down in the desert. These things happened as examples for us, so that we might not desire evil things, as they did. And do not become idolaters, as some of them did, as it is written, "The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to revel." Let us not indulge in immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell within a single day. Let us not test Christ 4 as some of them did, and suffered death by serpents. Do not grumble as some of them did, and suffered death by the destroyer. These things happened to them as an example, and they have been written down as a warning to us, upon whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore, whoever thinks he is standing secure should take care not to fall." So we should avoid overconfidence even if God uses "Spirit and water" baptism to save us, because He saved the Israelites by "the cloud and the sea" but still many fell away and were "struck down" by God in the desert for their idolatry. The same thing can happen to us. Emmaus |

The Articles of faith are found in the Aposle Creed and the Nicean Creed The Apostles' Creed. I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth; and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified; died, and was buried. He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The Nicean Creed I believe in (Romans 10: 8-10; 1 John 4: 15) ONE God, (Deuteronomy 6: 4, Ephesians 4: 6) Father (Matthew 6: 9) Almighty, (Exodus 6: 3) Maker of Heaven and Earth, (Genesis 1: 1) and of all things visible and invisible. (Colossians 1: 15-16) And in ONE Lord Jesus Christ, (Acts 11: 17) Son of God, (Mathew 14: 33; 16: 16) Only-Begotten, (John 1: 18; 3: 16) Begotten of the Father before all ages. (John 1: 2) Light from Light; (Psalm 27: 1; John 8: 12; Matthew 17: 2,5) True God from True God; (John 17: 1-5) Begotten, not made; (John 1: 18) of one essence with the Father (John 10: 30) through whom all things were made; (Hebrews 1: 1-2) Who for us men and for our salvation (1 Timothy 2: 4-5) came down from heaven, (John 6: 33,35) and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary (Luke 1: 35) and became man. (John 1: 14) And He was crucified for us (Mark 15: 25; 1 Corinthians 15: 3) under Pontius Pilate, (John 19: 6) suffered, (Mark 8: 31) and was buried. (Luke 23: 53; 1 Corinthians 15: 4) And on the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures, (Luke 24: 1 1 Corinthians 15: 4) and ascended into heaven, (Luke 24: 51; Acts 1: 10) and sits at the right hand of the Father; (Mark 16: 19; Acts 7: 55) and He shall come again with glory (Matthew 24: 27) to judge the living and the dead; (Acts 10: 42; 2 Timothy 4: 1) Whose Kingdom shall have no end. (2 Peter 1: 11) And in the Holy Spirit, (John 14: 26) Lord, (Acts 5: 3-4) Giver of Life, (Genesis 1: 2) Who proceeds from the Father; (John 15: 26) Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; (Matthew 3: 16-17) Who spoke through the prophets.

(Ephesians 4: 5) I look for the resurrection of the dead, (John 11: 24; 1 Corinthians 15: 12-49; Hebrews 6: 2; Revelation 20: 5) and the life in the age to come. (Mark 10: 29-30) AMEN. (Psalm 106: 48) The objectives of the Church, which is the Body of Christ, are the same as the objectives of Christ: To teach, to govern and to sanctify. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit are wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David.109 They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.110 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God . . . If children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ.111 The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the first fruits of eternal glory. The tradition of the Church lists twelve of them: "charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity."112 109 Cf. Isa 11:1-2. 110 Ps 143:10. 111 Rom 8:14,17. 112 Gal 5:22-23 (Vulgate). The modern tranlations from the Greek list nine fruits, combining in thir tranlslations some of the twelve in the Vulgate for this list charity, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, patience, gentleness, faithfulness, sel-control. |
