Cos God intervened! Lk 1:49please resolve you apparent contradiction.
"Jesus was conceived pure and immaculate because Mary was pure and immaculate."
with
Mary was conceived pure and immaculate WITHOUT Anne being pure and immaculate."
Except God did not reveal that Mary was preserved from original sin. That is an example of a Pope saying his voice is the voice of God and/or that God gives the Pope revelations that he gives no one else----not even the NT apostles.“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”
so Jesus was conceived pure and immaculate because His mother was pure and immaculate.Cos God intervened! Lk 1:49
“We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary, in the first instance of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege granted by Almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, was preserved free from all stain of original sin, is a doctrine revealed by God and therefore to be believed firmly and constantly by all the faithful.”

The four marian dogma’s are all in Luke chapter one!
Let me know when you find them.
Or you could simply ask me
God’s grace precedes our actions of course but its not irresistible grace@donadams
Don, The very first work of divine grace which introduces a sinner into the Christian life is a holy calling. So, it is the calling that transforms unbelievers into believers, children of darkness into sons of light. It isn't difficult to show that this teaching is eminently scriptural.
According to the bible, it is God who initiates the process of salvation by calling men with such omnipotent and irresistible power that they are brought into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
Consider what Paul says about how he was introduced into the Christian life. Paul declares Galatians 1:15, But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, God called him through His grace. After all, isnt that what scripture says, "we are saved by grace?" (Eph 2:8)
Paul writes in Romand 1:6-7,
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 8:30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.
The list goes on Do, If you would like to see more, let me know I would be happy to post them.
Accoding to Peter, Christians are people who have been called unto eternal glory in Christ - 1 Peter 5:10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
1 Peter 2:9, But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Don, my friend, this just keeps going. And nothing about baptism. No baptismal regeneration.
A close study of scripture makes it clear that the initial saving act of God which is termed "a holy calling" in 2 Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, & Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Don, I really hope you think about this.
Please reply to #337that is not Sola Fide
That is once "justified" always "justified"
You don't even know what you are against.
Sola Fide
we are justified (declared righteous) by God
the moment we have the God given faith (not mere mental assent)
PRIOR to any works done by us.
Justified by humility and prayer!So most Catholics are justified apart from faith .
the publican had faith: that's why he prayed, that's why he knew he was sinner: that's why he knew God
I say "yes"Can you remain in a state of justification until death?
so then you agreeJustified by humility and prayer!
