According to the RCC, 'Kecharitomene' is used in Luke 1:28 (khar-ee-to'-o in Strongs) while Ephesians 1:6 uses "echaritosen." The former a perfect passive participle, and echaritosen is an indicative active aorist.
Thus they conclude its a finished work in Mary (Luke 1:28) and an active work in the Epistle to Ephesus
AND they, of course being Catholic, rely on the Early Church Fathers to understand the Divine Maternity. This is hardly Satanic

as for the troll's attempt to justify the Satanic RCC teaching of Mary being 'sinless' the 'proof' texts given to not come close to implying Mary was redeemed at her conception. 'Highly favored'- that can be said of ALL of God's elect. In the original, it states 'favored with grace'. (xaritóō) is used twice in the NT (Lk 1:28 and Eph 1:6), both times of God extending Himself to freely bestow grace (favor). source - biblehub

Question 152 from BC.
What is baptism?
A. Baptism is a 'sacrament' which cleanses us from original sin, MAKES US CHRISTIANS, CHILDREN OF GOD,and HEIRS OF HEAVEN.
Complete denial of the gospel of sovereign grace

Romans 6:3   Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
  Romans 6:4   Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
  Romans 6:5   For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Sister MS, from that Satanic catechism, "50. Q. Was any one ever preserved from original sin?
A. The Blessed Virgin Mary, through the merit of her Divine Son, was preserved free from the guilt of original sin, and this privilege is called her Immaculate Conception."
Oh my!! Not one ounce of scriptural support, just a statement made into 'fact' by the RCC. How dangerous it is to follow the traditions/teachings of mortal,sinful, wicked men.

in the KJV its
Luke 1:28   And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.

You took Catechism for years? And never read the Bible? Didn't you see the Scripture Proofs for each question? Don't you now know that Scripture were often part of the answers?
Do you know one day I went to the local RCC office and asked for a Catechism to borrow. They had to look all over the building until they finally found one. But I took it home, and it wasn't just Christian, but pretty good in many areas. It seems to me that Blessed Wisdom is available at the RCC, but people are too caught up in their own lives to search it out

Hmmmm.
Obama increased the deficit to 20 trillion-10 trillion in 8 years
The GOP idiot budget calls for increase up to 30 Trillion in the next 10 years unless they listen to Rand Paul!
In that context- 100 trillion doesn't seem like a lot-as that is world cost
Maybe instead of this Trump regulation pullback, they could issue some commemorative 0BAMA trillion dollar bills??, and fund the promised ocean recession that the old "beloved leader" promised.

I am a 31 years old latino, raise in a catholic family, I took Catechism for many years and We never read the bible and when I started to read it myself my grandmother told me "if you do that you going to get crazy" Why she said that? because she was repeating what the local priest preach in the mass. So believe it or not Catholics use this "argument" to keep people from reading the Bible.

I wonder if indeed it is worth it to point out such "firsts." It seems more designed to cause contention, division, and pridefulness than anything else. I really can't see one way or another what difference it makes.

Thanks SA for having Eph. 1:19 mentioned, it made me look it up and the verses around it
Ephesians 1:16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

This is why Nancy Pelosi is just as good Catholic as Paul Ryan.

"In August, the U.S. reopened its embassy in Cuba, the first symbolic step to normalizing relations between the two countries and the first time the American flag has flown in Havana in 54 years."
Did it benefit Christians any? I really doubt it, Obama probably made too many consessions to the Cuban government.

Whatever the RCC theories of free will gospel, there is in practice no teaching of it. RCs are told what to believe, to avoid the Bible, and to let the priest interpret what it means. There is no free will choosing, council of Trent notwithstanding.

Actually what you just said is untrue. The second council of Orange was in the 500's and it affirmed the teachings of such men as Augustine who was much more about the sovereignty of God as I have quoted Agustin on that manner on here.

"actually Arminianism is RCC doctrine."
The free will gospel is the creation of papal Rome, and is no gospel at all.
