We can only imagine how other apostles' messages were slightly modified.
Thank you, but I was pointing out that the examples she cited did not involve “Kecharitomene.”
Sure they do -- many, many times.
Deny the grace of God in those who are His all you want.
That error could well be what Christ is describing as the "unpardonable sin."
"And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." -- Matthew 12:32
"Danger, Will Robinson."
You cited four passages from Scripture. None of them say "filled with grace."
Deny the grace of God in those who are His all you want.
I did not do that. You bear false witness against me with stunning proficiency.
And not a bestower of grace. The context also prohibits this.
Eph. 1:6 is the only other use of this word in the NT, and is there rendered to mean, "made acceptable".
You do know the difference between grace, holiness and sinlessness? Mary received grace, but was not sinless as a human.
They are quite different.
Amen.
Adding further insult to the young woman God graced to bear the Christ child, the RCC labels Mary as the "Co-Redeemer" and "Dispensatrix of all Grace."
Along with viewing RC priests as "another Christ," that is as close to blasphemy as I've ever read or heard.
verb indicative aorist active 3rd person singular
AMEN!
Are you “filled with grace,” Petronski?
The appropriate question is, has an Archangel of the Lord appeared to me and told me that I am full of grace?
No.
Similarly, North America existed long before someone decided to call it North America.
verb indicative aorist active 3rd person singular
AMEN!
It is really lame to try to build theology on the English translation .

DRA Sirach 18:17 Lo, is not a word better than a gift? but both are with a justified man.
Nope. Jesus maintains all authority over His church, as Paul tells us...
"And he (Jesus) is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence." -- Colossians 1:18
The apostles had no successors for to succeed them one needed to be a witness of Christ's resurrection...
Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection." -- Acts 1:21,22Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
***I know you’ll enjoy reading this.***
I am and thank you for the notification.
***What was shocking about the article was that both the author of the article and the senior managing editor of CT claim that this trip back to Rome is a good thing.***
Shocking that the word of Jesus is, well, true.
***To endorse a trip back to these practices of ancient Roman Catholicism is to reject the principle of sola scriptura being the normative authority for the beliefs and practices of the church.***
I think that the truth is, to a certain extent, getting through. And is scaring Reformers who possess grey matter.
***If we examine them closely we will find evidence that sola scriptura has been abandoned as a governing principle—if not formally, at least in practice. ***
May the Name of Jesus be praised.
***But what does this do to sola scriptura? It negates it.***
As does the Bible.
***But why are literate American Christians running away from sola scriptura at a time when searching the Scriptures (especially using computer technology) has never been easier? ***
Because the Bible itself repudiates it.
***I urge my fellow evangelicals to seriously consider the consequences of rejecting sola scriptura as the formal principle of our theology.***
You may wind up with eternal salvation with God in Heaven.
Luke 1:28 uses the perfect past participle, "Kecharitomene."
So, are you "filled with grace," or not? It's not a trick question.
Any Christian should be able to answer it straight-away.
***Whatever floats your boat big guy, but the last I checked we are just as much Christians as Baptists or what ever other Protestant denomination you want to name.***
In my ever so humble opinion, we are the Christians. Splitters and quitters don’t get to make the rules or call the shots.
You continue to use that metaphor as a bludgeon, and in doing so, speak volumes about your intellectual honesty.
“The Roman Catholic Church has tangibility”
Why not the Eastern Orthodox....I think they have more tangeability to claim to be “Christ’s Church” than the Vatican does?!
Where does the Bible "repudiate" sola scriptura?
The word of God repudiates the doctrines of men and the "vain janglings" of tradition.
