Thank you for your reply. We regret to inform you that at this time it does not serve our present needs. Should there be any future need for this reply we will contact you. Your answer will be kept on file for 30 days.
I really think it should be closed. RnMomof7 is off on some tangent about double predestination, and Christ’s predestination, Quix is badgering people, and Dr. Eckleburg is busy calling Catholicism a cult.
We evidently cannot have any kind of decent open thread on this forum, whatsoever.
Good post. My hubby and I are trying very hard to teach the faith to our children. My eight year old says a rosary every day. He loves Davey and Goliath and other religious programs. He has even shared with me that he might want to be a priest someday!! :)
LOL!!!!!!
May I borrow that?
Yeppers.
So if Mary had said no there would have been no Savior?
The predestination was one of foreknowledge for God sees all things, from all eternity.
Trying to cherry pick another word to replace predestination does not help much
The greek word
proginōskō
1) to have knowledge before hand
2) to foreknow
a) of those whom God elected to salvation
3) to predestinate
You could apologize for trying to put words in my mouth
Boy they don’t give up, just like a pitbull with locked jaws on your leg.
That is wonderful. I thnk too we need to let our children know who the enemy is. Children love epics and there is nothing more epic then the eternal struggle. They also love a just and happy ending. We can tell them with confidence who triumphs in the end. Emphasising that they too are soldiers in this struggle will appeal to them. They are not bystanders but warriors for Jesus.
1. ARE so utterly thin-skinned;
2. utterly DEMANDING that FR become a virtualy Vatican ran office of the 'holy' See of Rome;
3. Haughtily indignant that they should have to put up with anything close to a level playing field;
4. Self-righteously outraged that they should have to face getting called on their rubberized histories; rubberized 'Bible's; Daffynitionaries; Maryolatries and other outrages to basic Biblical Christianity;
5. Challenged beyond their wimpy ability to respond by factual statistics about the farces, deceptions, delusions, illusions and out-right lies they've been spreading about Catholocism lo these many years by the recently posted well derived statistics;
6. Piqued beyond their purple robes that they should have to contend for THE FAITH with any hint of equity and fairness;
7. Evidently mortally and terminally resentful that the old standard on FR of molly coddling the RC's has been replaced by an extremely fair and fair-minded RM--even though they still seem to get more than their share of free passes and mild slaps on their frothing fingers. Even that is not enough for such greed and power hungry power-mongering!
8. Blaming, manipulating, leaving in a huff; threatening, accusing, stomping their 2 year old feet seems to be all they can manage.
Whooooop-T-Doooooooo!
For the record, please color the Proddys
BTW, I've got news for you . . .
If you think it's going to get easier as the Anti-Christ takes more and more overt control over the planet--you're wrong.
Y'all better learn what the BIBLICAL majors and minors are of the Christian Faith and CLING TO GOD ACCORDINGLY. NOTHING ELSE WILL DO.
If, as seems highly likely and increasingly incrementally so, the Vatican continues to line up with the globalist/fallen angel agenda, values, mandates and revisionism on history and reality--masses of RC's are going to be going absolutely bonkers because they bet on a heretical system of man and man's self-serving, self-'saving' rituals and dogma instead of on THE GOD OF THE BIBLE and faith in Christ alone.
Such folks at risk for their hearts failing them out of fear, confusion and abject disillusionment are going to need AUTHENTIC CHRISTIANS--even of an authentic RC flavor--to help them retain any kind of Faith IN GOD at all.
Folks who can't even deal well and fittingly with the Proddys on FR are likely going to be too immature, wimpy, pouty and the like to be of help to themselves, much less to other RC's literally falling apart at the seams.
DEAL WITH IT.
CONSTRUCTIVELY, BIBLICALLY, REDEMPTIVELY
AND PREFERABLY WITH SOME HUMOR.
Judith Peter said Jesus was predestined.. how do you think all that OT prophecy was written..was God just guessing?
Exactly.
Which is why Catholics esteem her so highly and call her the second Eve. For what Eve destroyed with her disobedience, Mary helped to repair with her "yes", freely given.

Well then, it's lucky I just posted this thread, isn't it?
Praise God ! They stoned Steven for that ....
I could and in the spirit of not taking out my frustration with my bank I shall.
I should not have used a term that you did not use in your post. I apologize.
In the great green room was a
....You responded Exactly.
..Was Mary predestined?
Hey, I started a thread about the difference between justification and sanctification and it turned into a Mormon meatball fight.
That’s life. Discuss the thread however you want. No one is stopping you.
Thats ok.. I think we all are guilty of reading things into other peoples word.. just human
