To: Mark17
I wonder if you have any assurance of salvation?

Yes



  • And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
  • And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
  • And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
  • For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
  • And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.
  • And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
  • And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
  • For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
  • For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
  • And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
  • He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
  • He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree.
  • He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away.
  • He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy;
  • As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

I see bro. It seems we have a problem here. Let me say first, I think you randomly generated verses again. You are quite good at it, but Elizabeth has no bearing on your salvation, or lack of it. The problem is, many in your chosen religion, keep telling me and others, that to have assurance of salvation, is committing the sin of presumption. Would I be correct in assuming, that since you tell me you have assurance of salvation, that as a catholic, belonging to a works based religion, you are committing the sin of presumption too? You have a problem with other Catholics bro. Since I am an ex catholic, I never had any assurance of salvation. I do now, but only because I am an ex catholic. How are you gonna reconcile your assurance with other Catholics, since most of the others don’t have any. You got your work cut out for you bro. Good luck with that, you may need it. 👍😁 Keep studying. Maybe you will figure out what 1st Corinthians 2:14 means. I already have. Have a nice eternity bro, wherever you may spend it. 🙃
