God and Man [ I of II ]

God is the source of virtue who places us on our path to moral and spiritual perfection [Psa 25:4,8; Mt 5:48]. He is already the victor [I Cor. 15:57; cf Homilies on First Corinthians: Homily 42, Chrysostom,
http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/220142.htm

God desires that we accept the invitation to the celebration before he enters his temple-palace [Heb 6:6; I Tim. 1:17, 6:16; Rev 21:11].

Making faith ever more visible requires diligence under the authority of a duly ordained teacher [Psa 27:11; Acts 8:31].

God desires that we fall back into Covenant, just as we fell from it [Gen 3-6; Mk 12:30]. Until we do, mortal sin is our 'bosom enemy' [CCC 1855, 1874]. Yet, we are held by and in the hands of a loving God [Psa 10:12].

But, how do we make this happen?

For centuries, man understood that propitiation for sin and communion with God was to be acquired through the offering of a sacrificial victim [Acts 18:27, 28].

'salvation is from the Jews' [Jn 1:1,14; 4:22; Gal 4:4;]. At his birth, the heavenly host sang praises to God and witnessed to the babe laying in a manger [Lk 1:13-20; 2:21].

Jesus explodes into history at thirty years old while John the Baptist is preparing Israel for the ax that is already at the root of the trees' [Mt. 3:7-15]

i dont understand shit...this guy has been crapping all along...what a waste of time...

[LothairOfLorraine]

@92amethyst What exactly do you mean?

[zaydouna6]

the way to GOD is easy and simple to all human been, GOD is not the author of confusion.

you keep going back and forward contradicting every statement you make as long as you talk.

all the prophets believe in one GOD who's is in heaven and ask people to worship him and salvation taught by this prophets is to return away from sin and repent and GOD will forgive you.

[LothairOfLorraine]

If the way of God is easy and simple, then why does he have Prophets and Books at all? Why doesn't he make it simple and just forgive us from his abode in heaven?

So, if I just repent, then I am forgiven? No need for prayers, right? Just ask God to forgive and I am in the clear?

You claim that I contradict myself, yet provide no evidence.

[rhdtv2002]

this is true..every case of salvation was given immediately. Just look at the pentecaust, 3,000 unbelievers were saved that very same day.

Allah was never a moon God. who told u this?

[LothairOfLorraine]

Christ is the mediator, and established a visible Church to lead the Body.

[Islandretreat]

Never let anyone tell you god in the Koran is the same God in the Holy Bible!

LothairOfLorraine, you are a Roman Catholic. Popery with all its false idol worship is a barrier between man and God. No Roman Catholic Priest (deceiver) possess the power to forgive all manner of sin. Christ is the only mediator between man and God.

[mannypatel1]

you are full of deception

[LothairOfLorraine]

you seem insecure and insincere. Please think about what I have said when you are in a more mature mondset.

Are you getting this yet, Manny? Once you are ready to debate, you'll find me ready and able.
