<hildegard8@excite.com> said the following:
Seven Things God Hates
"There are six things which the Lord hates, yes, seven which are
an abomination to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands
that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans,
feet that run rapidly to evil, a false witness who utters lies,
and one who spreads strife among brothers" (Prov. 6:16-19).
God is clear about the things that displease Him.
Amen! IMO, good post, until the following...

December 18th - Expectation of Our Lady
By the late Prof. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira: (died 1995)
December 18 begins the last week of Advent, which the Church calls the Week
of Expectation. We are only one week away from the Birth of Our Lord, and
the Church imagines the jubilation and hope of Our Lady in expectation of
her parturition: she was waiting to admire the Blessed Face of the Son she
was generating in her womb.
Jesus wasn't born in December.
She also awaits the salvation of the world that approaches.
The world will not be saved and nowhere does the Bible
say that it will.
She sees the hour coming when the glory of God will cease
to be offended by the legacy of original sin.
The world will be what it is.
The Devil's reign that dominated for more than 4,000 years
The Devil has not had any "reign" ever, but even if you
buy into that, it was ended almost 2,000 years ago.
She senses that the Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ is near.
She senses? Mary is dead and has been for a long time.
As for the Lord's reign, it began when He ascended and
that is easily proved, Biblically.
Your whole post almost was about Mary. How about
worshipping Jesus instead? And if you say that you
don't worship Mary, then why is your hope about her?
--
Creation is the stage upon which God is revealing
His redemptive plan. We live out our part in the
history of redemption.
