What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
RE: What has Christianity truly contributed to humanity
It was an indication of God's Prophetic Fore-knowledge that No One was talking about. The Church Fathers interpret that verse of alternatively of Jesus or Mary. Since Genesis was written around 1500 B.C., and we have Christ crushing the Serpent at the Cross, that's a prophecy that long pre-dates His Coming. Even other writers have recognized this as a Messianic Prophecy. It is sometimes called "the Proto-Evangelium" or First Gospel. It may also be understood of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in which case that would refer to what She did e.g. in Mexico, where people worshipped snakes and killed children before the Mother of God as Our Lady of Gaudalupe appeared, putting an end to Infanticide and Child Sacrifice.

This was also while Calvin was teaching his false opinion of Cessationism in Europe, which means all Miracles allegedly ceased after teh Age of the Apostles. The Mother of God refuted that false opinion also with Her Public Miracles that led some 10 MN Mexicans to come receive Baptism from the Catholic Church, and showed Miracles still do exist. Our Lady of Gaudalupe is very well known in Mexico and visited by Millions of Pilgrims.

"Several trustworthy contemporary writers note that one missionary, a Flemish Franciscan named Peter of Ghent, baptized with his own hands over 1,000,000 Mexicans! "Who will not recognize the Spirit of God in moving so many millions to enter the kingdom of Christ," wrote Fr. Anticoli, S.J., "and when we consider that there occurred no portent or other supernatural event ... to attract such multitudes, other than the apparitions of the Virgin, we may state with assurance that it was the Vision of the Queen of the Apostles that called the [Mexican] Indians to the Faith." From: https://www.olrl.org/prophecy/ladyofg.shtml


It's the Genesis 3:15. Inthe DRBO link, Fr. Haydock explains: "[15] "She shall crush": Ipsa, the woman; so divers of the fathers read this place, conformably to the Latin: others read it ipsum, viz., the seed. The sense is the same: for it is by her seed, Jesus Christ, that the woman crushes the serpent's head."

Even Liberal Wiki knows this, though some others try to deny it: "Seed of the woman or offspring of the woman (Biblical Hebrewזַרְעָ֑הּromanized: zar‘āhlit.'her seed') is a phrase from the Book of Genesis: as a result of the serpent's temptation of Eve, which resulted in the fall of man, God announces (in Genesis 3:15) that he will put an enmity between the seed of the serpent and the seed of the woman. In Christianity, this verse is known as the protoevangelium,[a] and is interpreted as a prophecy of the coming of  Jesus ...

There is a Jewish tradition where a messiah is said to be a remedy to the bruising of the heel of the "seed of the woman".[6]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_of_the_woman

I should note. Xavier has me on ignore for a number of reasons, One of which is exposing how a devout catholic forum didn't even want him and gave hm the boot.

Are you really that dumb?

If god knows everything, then god knew that the angel that would turn to satan, was going to turn before the heavens were created. And it did nothing to alter those plans, pretty shortsighted.

That is just one of the many, many, many, many reasons your god is an idiot.

Even better, we wouldn't know if God lost the war in Heaven. "Winner writes the history."

The whole "Winners write the histories" comes from the days when the losers were all killed or taken into involuntary servitude (aka Slavery). People who think the winners write the histories these days have never heard of Vietnam.

And Winston Spencer Churchill was flogging his series of books on WWII. Man knew his PR.

And, once more, we get CLAIMS, links to biased websites, and bible quotes.

And if you're upset from a few choice words from Gawdzilla, little man, wait until I get started.
