First of all, I don't quote the ECFs..or very rarely. I know no one on these threads believe they were inspired... Of course Luther was inspired, Calvin was inspired, Augustine was inspired, Piper is inspired, etc. I trust the bible and quote from that. MY POINT was that I do trust the...

I think I said IF CHILDREN ARE INVOLVED... maybe not. Anyway, of course you're right.

What? Pope Francis has written, black on white, in Amores Laetitia that remarrieds could receive communion. I have to PROVE THIS TO YOU???!!! FROM AMORES LAETITIA Paragraph 305 refers to those in “irregular” situations – a term often used to refer to the divorced and remarried – and says...

Yes, I also understand that a wife or husband should not leave the spouse just because they are not Christian. What good would that do? Better to stay with them and MAYBE with their help the spouse could become saved. I have heard of cases where the saved person passes away and THEN the other...

Sounds just like the story of a catholic saint,,,can't remember which one; I'm not very interested in saints to that degree. She was also very mistreated but stayed with her husband for the sake of her children and because she knew marriage was forever. I'm happy most marriages today do not...

I like the idea of one lamb being sacrificed for the entire family in Exodus. Withoiut a doubt, when Paul spoke of the sanctifying grace of the spouse saved...he was referring to Job. I didn't even think of this. Thanks for such a good post. Will study up on this.

I don't need anybody's help with evidence MM. I was very active in the catholic church during all this and I happen to know everything on my own.

I'm surprised you need links...but OK,,,here are two: https://testeverythingblog.com/question-of-communion-divorce-remarriage-in-the-catholic-church-b31dda8e61df ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Examples of doctrines of this second...

Not only is the above true...but chapter 8 of Am. Lat. has a footnote -- the famous footnote --- that actually allows remarrieds to receive communion if their pastor agrees...which they should of course, unless the married couple is murdering people or doing some other grave sin. Of course...

Yes,,,separated to do God's work is the correct meaning. My point is: How is my husband sanctified through me? Being set aside to do God's good deeds are of a personal nature. I've never understood this verse completely, but the rest of the N.T. does not teach that a spouse is saved by the...

A, we could discuss ideas all day long, but this I know FOR SURE: We do NOT KNOW, why God did anything He did,,,we could speculate from scripture, but that's about it. So, you told me I'm wrong and there's a lot to fix. Asked your questions which I answered. And now you tell me to go look for...

What you call argue, I call a conversation. You do seem to be AFRAID of conversation. So I guess this is the end. Always an end with you because you don't TALK.

I know you don't agree with me... but I do understand scripture and have studied it for many years. You persist in telling me I'M WRONG, instead of saying you don't agree with me. We won't know who's wrong till we get to heaven.

I know. It's been many years now. It might even happen after my death...who can know? The odd part is that he likes to listen to Christian speakers...Ravi Zacharias is one. Also some Catholic speakers on Italian radio. He was raised in atheism and can't seem to let go. But hope is the last...

St. Teresa of Avila The Castle There are 7 rooms to reach the center of the castle. Jesus lives forever in the center of the Castle. How to enter into the Castle: 1. Be in God's grace. 2. Prayer 3. Decision to proceed in faith. Problem: Battle between grace and world. One must know one's...

No particular order: St. Clement of Rome (to 99 AD) PAUL PETER St Ignatius of Antioch (to 107 AD) PETER JOHN St. Polycarp (to 156 AD) JOHN These knew the Apostles directly....and others that were not so famous or had extensive writings. Then there are those that come immediately after the...

Almost missed this.... Here are your questions and my answer: 1. Does God save all? A. No. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 Man is at enmity with God. Genesis 3:15 Romans 8:7 Man does not understand God. 2 Corinthians 2:14 2. Why does God save those...

What does sanctify mean?

Actually, the ECFs LEARNED from the Apostles. And they did believe in free will. You do love Augustine, don't you? The ONLY ECF that had any ideas re not having free will, and who changed his mind about concepts....great source since he seems to have started the whole calvinism thing going...

I don't think anyone here is depending on YOU for the truth.
