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.
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.

Mary is still no higher than an angel though. What angel was prophesied in the Bible?

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.

We need some info, here. We papists (and it used to be true of Piskies back when the Episcopal Church believed something specific) think that in Christ all the saints are "higher" than the angels. Mary, being in Christ would be "brighter than the Seraphim// More glorious than the Cherubim" as the hymn ( a paraphrase of St, Francis ) has it, but because the saints are "in Christ" they all are higher as He is higher.
Your thoughts please?
