Not everyone is saved. If you live the faith as a Christian and not a Pharisee there will be works. A Christian is someone who no longer lives but Christ is inside of him. You are supposed to be Christ in the world. Jesus saved us in his ultimate sacrifice and if we are true Christians we will become like him, and that includes works.
@BibleInContext1@Trent_Horn@catholiccom@frmikeschmitz The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ and we have had a succession of popes since st Peter. Numerous miracles, including Eucharistic miracles surround it. Catholicism is fullness of faith put in place by God https://t.co/Em4MS8g2va
St. Jerome held that Jesus was sinless by nature as God incarnate, and he also strongly defended Mary as personally sinless. In his dispute with Helvidius and especially against Pelagius, Jerome wrote that when speaking of sin, he wanted Mary excepted “for the honor of the Lord,” because from her came the One who was without sin. So Jerome did not put Mary on the same level as Jesus: Jesus is sinless absolutely, inherently, and redemptively; Mary’s sinlessness is derivative, by grace, and fitting because she is the Mother of God. His view is very compatible with the later Catholic doctrine of Mary’s immaculate holiness, though he did not express it in the later technical language of the Immaculate Conception.
@BibleInContext1@OnceLost Romans 2:14–15
“For when Gentiles who do not have the law by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts…”

We need a media company that promotes traditional family values with real men and feminine women role models! Any thoughts about starting ‘X’ family entertainment company?
You can do anything better!!!!
The older “she” wording was a Latin textual/translation tradition, not the strongest original-language reading. Modern Catholic Bibles generally do not rely on “she.” The U.S. Catholic NABRE renders it collectively: “They will strike at your head,” referring to the woman’s offspring. Catholic Answers also acknowledges that the RSV Catholic Edition’s “he” and NABRE’s “they” are “more grammatically precise.”
@BibleInContext1 Catholically, the primary fulfillment is Christ crushing Satan, while Mary is truly involved as the Woman/New Eve in union with her Son. The Church still calls Genesis 3:15 the Protoevangelium, the first announcement that evil would be conquered by the Messiah and Redeemer.
My Blue Sky / forced marriage support
If leaving Islam is tied to fear of being forced into marriage, taken overseas, trapped, or controlled by family, My Blue Sky and forced-marriage services are relevant. Forced marriage is illegal in Australia, and people have the right to choose whether, when, and whom they marry.
