Protestants know that ... our redemption has already occurred by Christ's sacrifice on the cross for our sins.

But you don't know that, since you believe that Jesus did not die for everyone, but only for the elect. And you have no way of knowing whether you are elect. Therefore, you don't know whether Jesus died for you.

= = = =

Dr E knows a lot of things.

I can speculate on what she knows and doesn't know. I might even pontificate about something I have found unknowable and assert from that--that in my construction on reality it would also be impossible for her to know it.

But all that would be MY CONSTRUCTION on reality.

I'm very skeptical that any Romanist MRI, PET SCAN, EEG, BRAIN SCAN ETC. would reveal whether Dr E would know or now know something presumed to be or presumed not to be according to the Romanist Magistrumpupum's latest encyclicals.

Besides, She knows God. She probably has some capacity to hear Holy Spirit beyond what even she suspects. God might surprise her and us with some revelation.

It just seems to me to be rather hazardous to pontificate so emphatically that Dr E DOES NOT KNOW something.

But then, what do I know.
