Thanks for agreeing. I listened to that Catholic station 88.4 in Oregon again… on the way back from my business trip. I really enjoyed it. The worship music almost seem to come from Protestant hymnals and also contemporary Protestant song writers. I find that version of Roman Catholicism to be refreshing and enjoyable.
I’m sure motive isn’t in the Bible, but I would think motive would mean a lot. If one does a kind act in order to make oneself appear holly or good to others, I would imagine that would mean less than an act done having someone else’s care in mind, or doing it only for the love of God.
Distracted, you didn’t make too much sense. Also if Jeremiah says man is full of deceit and wickedness, the folks he was talking about hadn’t been baptized yet.
If one is in the state of Mortal Sin, one can do works of mercy out the whazoo, but they won’t be worth a hoot n toot.
It refers to the supercession of the specifically mosaic covenant and the inclusion of Gentiles in the New Covenant. The language is very strong, I do not believe it can be made to say that Jesus rejects the Jews in toto but should probably be seen as an identification of the temple and political leadership as well as all those “stiff necked” prophet-rejecting children of the covenant before His earthly sojourn.In St. Matthew 22:1-14 Jesus says that the kingdom of Heaven may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. He dispatched his servants to summon the invited guests to the feast but they refused to come… He kept inviting - and people kept refusing…
"Some ignored the invitation and went away, one to his farm, another to his buisness. The rest laid hold of his servants, mistreated them, and killed them. The king was eneraged and sent his troops, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city. Then the king said to his servants, “The feast is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy to come. Go out, therefore, into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find.’ The servants went out into the streets and gathered all they found, bad and good alike, and the hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to meet the guests he saw a man there not dressed in a wedding garment. He said to him, “My firend, how is it that you came in here without a wedding garment?” But he was reduced to silence. Then the king said to his attendants, ‘bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the darkness outside, where there will be wailing and grinding of teeth.’ Many are invited, but few are chosen.”
What, exactly, is the wedding garment???
We are talking Sanctifying Grace first received through Baptism. Nothing to do with the Jews other than Christ and the Apostles.
I disagree.We are talking Sanctifying Grace first received through Baptism. Nothing to do with the Jews other than Christ and the Apostles.
Didn’t say the wedding garment was Christ in Baptism. It is Sanctifying Grace.
I know what you said, I’m just letting you know that I believe you to be mistaken.
No it isn’t… but you can believe wahtever you want.

The Bible says that without holiness, it is impossible to please God. Holiness, of course, means not sinning… & expiating the sins we have committed… (offering up sufferings for that purpose, doing charitable things, etc…)NEW ADVENT WEBSITE

"the wedding garment is sanctifying grace, “put ye on the Lord Jesus” (Romans 13:14). Thus Iren., IV, xxxvi; Tert., “De resurrect. carnis”, xxvii, etc. "
Is it possible there is more than one interpretation?
I believe that Christ atoned for all of our sins. The atonement is two-fold including expiation and propitiation. Does the Roman Catholic Church teach that we have to atone for our own sins?The Bible says that without holiness, it is impossible to please God. Holiness, of course, means not sinning… & expiating the sins we have committed… (offering up sufferings for that purpose, doing charitable things, etc…)
If people would just obey God’s word, they would be get to Heaven…
Yes it does…
Yes, and if people would love one another, be willing to sacrifice for them no matter what, it would be much easier to do this.The Bible says that without holiness, it is impossible to please God.

i’ve had this thought…Yes, and if people would love one another, be willing to sacrifice for them no matter what, it would be much easier to do this.
Yes, but you know what? I have found it is much easier to “love” at a distance than loving someone closer, whether it be family or friend. It is so much easier for me to love my fellow humans in another country than someone I have to deal with face to face.
No Kidding!!! I think we could all say that… Those pepole in far away countries can’t hurt us… reject us… criticize us… etc…Yes, but you know what?

True… but i think some people have a mistaken idea of exactly how thye should do this… (sacrificing…)…Yes, and if people would love one another, be willing to sacrifice for them no matter what, it would be much easier to do this.
