FIRST! (For the algorithm. God bless Dr. Pitre)

[@afmario790]

Oh! No!!! He's sooo angry... Hope he recalls the last sentence in the book and revalations and keep his algorithm out in a separate version... Be very watchful of his works!! The reason the saints name is important for he has to be able identify the story to link to a specific saint... The algorithm has common names like Bible has a common name of Mary in various places and still there is a problem in accepting the mother of God by the Protestants... That is what I call PhD level and more to research...

Dr. Pitre explains the Bible in plain language, unlike other theologians who speak in jargon only they understand. But Dr. Pitre's clear explanations also raises questions. For example: being saved by grace and being judged by works are contradictions. If we are judged by works, then we are not saved by grace; instead we are actually saved by works.

[@nirmalcleetus8296]

Grace and works are equal we need both perry salvation is not a one go its a process first justification that is of course through baptism in christ means dying and rising with christ second sanctification that is through sacraments and suffering these helps to increase our love hope and trust next is glorification that's equal to christ thus jesus is the way truth and life life centered in eucharist it is to get Christ's life with our own body and thoughts will never save us we must imitate christ love like him that's only possible through holy spirit so read scripture meditate with the help of context and church and holy spirit and live the life of service like saints this much is in it Christian discipleship in the end time we will all judged according to faith and works eg Abraham he not only belive God he worked according to god by obedience Continue to ask jesus for mercy for you and for others ask for holy spirt daily read bible frequent confession and eucharist for eternal life and be mercyfull towards others our ressuruction is not end soul but also our bodies back in a glorified way we will never be saved automatically we lot of prayer and for our self and for others do charity according to our heart god our father judge through jesus by looking our hearts and works let's all leave to jesus let him do the judgment pray for his return be mercy full when he think we are automatically by grace its a heresy called hyper grace so discernment is important be prudent like serpant and innocent like dove meaning serpant always shed its skin like that renew your self through sacraments and suffering and like dove humble your self

[@MidnightIsolde]

Works are the fruits of faith through grace. If you have grace, you will have works or else faith is dead. Works are a measure of faith. You can say that you have faith in God, but if you do not put this into practice it is only lukewarm.

[@Raverraver9999]

Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord, and by this means to save his soul. And the other things on the face of the earth are created for man and that they may help him in prosecuting the end for which he is created. From this it follows that man is to use them as much as they help him on to his end, and ought to rid himself of them so far as they hinder him as to it. For this it is necessary to make ourselves indifferent to all created things in all that is allowed to the choice of our free will and is not prohibited to it; so that, on our part, we want not health rather than sickness, riches rather than poverty,honor rather than dishonor, long rather than short life, and so in all the rest; desiring and choosing only what is most conducive for us to the end for which we are created... The Catechism of the Catholic Church(CCC), quoting Vatican II, says the following: “God willed that man should be ‘left in the hand of his own counsel,’ so that he might of his own accord seek his Creator and freely attain his full and blessed perfection by cleaving to him.” (1730) God doesn’t force us to seek and love him; it is something that he has left us free to do.

[@angelicashen]

I assume one of the reasons that Paul emphasised through faith man shall be saved is he was preaching to gentiles who might have problem in their faith. Faith is the fundamental grace to salvation and on that good deeds are required as measure for the judgment.

In the canonical Hebrew gospels, Jesus doesn’t allude to Isaiah, he quotes it verbatim. Revelation is the second book of John, just as Acts is the second book of Luke. The olivet discourse cannot be found in John because it is the entire book of Revelation. The canonical Hebrew gospels and canonical Hebrew Revelations shines brighter than the Greek. We can deduce from the internal evidence of the text that revelation would have been written after the great fire of Rome, before the deaths of Peter, Paul, and Nero; and before the circumvallation of Jerusalem by vespasian

Romans 7:15 - 20 ?

[@katherinemoss2583]

Many priest and Catholic scholars today portray Christ as being spirit filled like a glass. The creed states, the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father and the Son. The philoque clause Greek Orthodox interpretation, states the Holy Spirit comes from the Father in a straight line to the Son. Heretical interpretation. Modern Biblical criticism and Two source Theory, use Kenotic theories and the Baptism of Jesus as an example of Christ being Spirit filled and ketosis, the self emptying of Christ's Divine attributes. in this way they Divide the two nature's of Christ and promote christ as ignorant of who he was and of his own scriptures.

Obviously, you can't just do as you like. If you have faith you will endeavour to do good works.

@@Dannyboy0202 what is good works? I don’t think it is getting your elderly neighbor’s shopping, that is kind but you do not need faith in Christ to do that. Good works are a consequence of salvation . Good works is sharing the Gospel , not bringing God into disrepute, resisting temptation etc. it is not doing the impossible by never failing or falling short. But the salvation through Christ is the beginning of works in you and through you.

All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

If you thoroughly read and understand the Bible, you shall know that the Catholic Church was the New Testament Church founded by the LORD JESUS CHRIST upon the Apostle Peter (Matthew16:18-19).

[@francissweeney7318]

The word in the real bible is " I shall reward each by his works." There is one throne in heaven, Jesus is God. John was " alluding " to nothing. He was learning the prophesy of the end times from Jesus spoken through the Angel of the Lord. Chapter 17 is His prophesy for the catholic church. Chapter 17 fits no other organization.

_"... the Divinity of Jesus."_ The Bible makes it clear that a human descendant of David, not God, was the father of Jesus. The terms, "seed", "flesh", "root", "fruit of his loins", and "offspring" mean that Jesus was the biological son of Joseph. Matthew 1:1 "This is the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David." John 6:42 "They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?” Acts 2:30 "Therefore being a prophet [David], and knowing that God had sworn an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne." Hebrews 2:16 "For he [Jesus] took not the nature of angels, but the seed of Abraham." Acts 13:23 "Of David's seed hath God, according to his promise, raised unto Israel a savior, Jesus." Romans 1:3 "Concerning his son Jesus Christ, who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh." 2 Timothy 2:8 "Remember that Jesus Christ is the seed of David." Revelation 22:16 "I, Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the churches; I am the root (progeny) and the offspring of David." John 1:45 “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom the prophets also wrote; Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” Matthew 9:27 "When Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, thou son of David, have mercy on us."

[@twitherspoon8954]

_"... the Divinity of Jesus."_ Should we expect God to know what the Ten Commandments are? What was Jesus's sixth commandment? (Notice that Jesus lists only the secular commandments that make no mention of God): 1. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. (Matthew 19:17-19) 2. Honor thy father and mother: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honor thy father and mother. (Mark 10:19) 3. There was no sixth. Jesus listed only five commandments Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor thy father and thy mother. (Luke 18:20)

[@twitherspoon8954]

_"... the Divinity of Jesus."_ God warned: 1. "Apart from me there is no savior." 2. "You shall have no other gods other than me". 3. "God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind." 4. "The LORD our God, the LORD is one." Jesus cannot be the messiah- God specifically warned against worshiping false saviors such as Jesus! Isaiah 43:10 "Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I am the Lord, and apart from me there is no savior." Hosea 13:4 "Thou shalt know no God but me, for there is no savior other than me." Isaiah 45:5 "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God." Exodus 20:2 and Deuteronomy 5:6 “You shall have no other gods other than me". Isaiah 44:6 "I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God." Numbers 23:19 "God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind." Deuteronomy 6:4 God specifically stated that he is one: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one." Hosea 11:9 "For I am God and not a man." 1 Samuel 15:29 "And also the Glory of Israel will not lie or have regret, for he is not a man, that he should have regret.” God does not change: Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not. Isaiah 42:8 "I am the Lord; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another." Isaiah 7:14 prophesied that the messiah's name will be Emmanuel. But Emmanuel is not one of the many New Testament names of the Bible figure commonly known as Jesus. It is Biblically impossible for Jesus to be the messiah. Matthew 1:12 lists Jeconiah (also known as Jehoiachin or Coniah who succeeded Jehoiakim as king of Judah) as Jesus' ancestor, and God states in Jeremiah 22:30 that descendants of Jeconiah are cursed and that no ancestor of Jeconiah will ever sit on the throne of David (heaven) or ever rule in Judah.

It's a feeble attempt from you to come here and write so much and expect people to take you for granted.
