Sure thing, protestants are waaaaaaaaay more arrogant than I thought they could be.
ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
INVESTING UNTRUE MYSTICAL NONSENSE IN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IS SPIRITUALLY HAZARDOUS TO THE MAX.
There doesn't seem to be any restraint on OPCs stealing God's glory and giving it to themselves.
God, the Father, elects.
God, Jesus Christ, the Son, redeems.
God, the Holy Spirit, sanctifies.
God elects. God chooses whom to redeem by His Son.
No wonder RCs can give away the glory of the Trinity to a supposed fourth member. They don't know the Trinity.
Mary is no different from Sarah, or from Leah, who gave birth to Judah, and wasn't even Jacob's first choice as wife. No one exalts any of them, or Rachel,(considered to be the mother of the Jewish people) in any other role other than a fine example of Jewish womanhood. Jesus only ever referred to her as *woman* and there is no record of her ever complaining or holding any other office.
EXCEPT OF COURSE DEMON FALLEN ANGELS IN BIOENGINEERED BODIES USING HOLOGRAMS TO APPEAR TO BE APPARITIONS OF MARY AND CLAIMING JESUS WAS ONE OF THEIR ILLUSIONS.
that’s for real.
That must have been me, except I didn't use those pejoratives. I guess they had to be added to try and make goddess worship okay.
The actual comment was Mary was just a good woman. If she had the free will to say no and had done so God would have choosen another.
Ohh Mercy
Scripture tells us 2 things.. 1) That Christ was the second Adam and 2) that He was tempted as we are
Please look at the 40 days
In them Christ endured the exact temptations that Adam did
The Holy Spirit led Christ to the wilderness to be tempted
Think back to the fall
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food,[Lust of the flresh}
and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, {lust of the eyes]
and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise,{ pride of life] she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Please now look at the temptation of Jesus
Mat 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
Mat 4:3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Lust of the Flesh
Mat 4:5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
Mat 4:6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Lust of the eyes
Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Pride of Life
1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
hMMMMMM
Scripture says she was chosen by the Father
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one, the Trinity. It is arrogant to say that God cannot do something the Holy Spirit can, or that the Holy Spirit is not Christ, because they are One.
Your delineation of their “duties” is just ridiculous.
I was just thing that , they sound like modalists
How do Presbyterians give God's glory to themselves? Presbyterians know they didn't earn their salvation. God gave it freely, according to His mercy.
If Presbyterians boast, they boast of the Lord and what He has done in their lives.
"But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." -- Matthew 8:14

And Scripture tells us Christ said, "I and the Father are One." "Whosoever hath seen me, hath seen the Father."
Or don't you believe the scripture?
lol. Read the Bible, Judith. Learn the truth.
But your posts are excellent examples of how little Roman Catholics actually know of the Bible.
Actually this is a change of topic.. but in what way do Calvinists "steal glory from God"

Well, I know ONE presbyterian who thinks she knows what the duties of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are, all separately.
lol. They'll need it. 8~)
Great explanation of Christ's temptation, RnMom! Thanks.
