"It is my understanding that "time" does not exist in Heaven. (Or, rather, Heaven does not exist in "time.") If Mary and the other saints are united with God in Heaven, then such questions are not relevent."

References please.

References? Won't a little bit of thought do?

Do you think God is:

a) bound by time and subject to its onward march

b) the Creator of all things including time and therefore not subject to it, but rather outside of it

Your choice.

[Gamecock]

Amen.

Wow, 1620 posts?!? Where have I been?

IS this a private game, or can anybody play?

Jump on in, Dawg, Happy to have you.

I don't know nothin' about no disparity and would be grateful for more details and all.

I was speaking to the disparity between the RCC and the Protestant churches.

When you have what is more of a HUGE extended family, than the dictatorship we are depicted as being, there is always some weird guy somewhere - or even a bunch of weird guys doing stuff that the rest of us question.

Nice to see that it is much the same across the Tiber as it is among us 'great unwashed'... Please be so kind as to give the Protestant denominations the same understanding.

In the 14+ years that I;ve been worsipping in the RCC the vast predominance of the preacing is what I'd call "Evangelical" in the sense that it is more and more often a proclamation of the Love of God in Jesus than a moral exhortation or an urging for folks to "Pay, Pray and Obey."

Praise the Lord! The Good News is what it's all about... Don't get that 'worsipping' though.. is that where the extra sacramental wine goes? :D

"Apparently God violated His own commandment" [excerpt]

And because God does something that God told man not to, makes it ok for man to do what man was told not to do?

God is not bound by the rules he has made for man.

God is not bound by the rules he has made for man.

Thank you for confirming that He CAN turn the Eucharist and Wine into His Body and Blood and that He CAN protect His mother from sin from the moment of conception and He CAN give one of His Disciples the Keys of Heaven.

[Fichori]

" But of this one thing be not ignorant, my beloved, that one day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. (2 Peter 3:8)"

I certainly did not expect to see that one.

It is normally reserved for the crevo debates.

[papertyger]

God is not bound by the rules he has made for man.

Where do you find that in Scripture?

[Fichori]

Anyone who tries to explain God with science will only make a mockery of both.

BOOYAH!

I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
-- Apocalypse (Revelation) 22:13

God is outside the confines of time (In the beginning God). Time as we know it is nothing more than the Earth's relationship to the Sun, it has NOTHING to do with Heaven.

Where is that in the Bible?

[wagglebee]

(psst: what’s a “Crevo debate”?)

Creation vs. evolution, threads that make ANY Catholic vs. Protestant thread look civil.

[Fichori]

Where in Scripture can you not find it?

Your choice.

Beautiful!

I'll chose B: the Creator of all things including time and therefore not subject to it, but rather outside of it

Mary is still no higher than an angel though.

[papertyger]

Mary is still no higher than an angel though.

What angel was prophesied in the Bible?

[wagglebee]

Mary is still no higher than an angel though.

Don't succumb to this new age nonsense (which neither Catholicism nor Protestantism supports) that ANY of us become angels when we enter Heaven.

[Mad Dawg]

Don't get that 'worsipping' though.. is that where the extra sacramental wine goes? :D

Darn Caught again (but at least you didn't see me worguzzling?Only slighly mo' better is that "Well, let's take that argument and apply it to YOUR side ...."

WE end up using a sledgehammer where tweezers and scalpel are called for. And I think that's because we think if we don't Win one for Jesus, the universe will be in peril.

Works righteousness .... Jesus can take care of Himself.

The presence of error and corruption in all out "Ecclesial assemblies" is better responded to with prayer than with, "Nyah nyah."

Who with a working brain, would deny that many committed Protestants or "Whatever I am it sure isn't in communion with the See of Rome"-ants deeply love Jesus and seek to do His will. And I dare say that there are two or three Catholics who have the same affections and intentions.

We each believe we have something precious. We each believe the other to be wrong in some important (if not ultimately important) ways.

Okay, end of insufferably self-righteous piety. LEt me foller along in yo' discussion, (bearing in mind that I'm leaving in a few minutes to create the appearance of industriousness and productivity).

[Fichori]

"(psst: what’s a “Crevo debate”?)"

Creation/Evolution.

People who try to make Evolution and Creation agree like to claim that 2nd Peter 3:8 says 1 day = 1000 years in atempt to prove that the days of creation are not 24 hours long.

But there are other threads for that.
