Heh. The rule about, “You can only argue using the Scriptures, and then only if I have the last word on the interpretation” — that’s their favorite.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

yeah - they really would do better to learn that on FR, the One Rulemaker is Jim R.; but then that would probably lead to some argument to us paying reverence to the Moderators as acting as “Other Jims”

ROFL!

Judith where in the bible does it talk about the communion of saints?

[RnMomof7]

Judith it was no a trick question (what ever that is??) I asked a simple question ..was what he posted considered by him or the church as infallible teaching..because as we all know the church fathers often disagreed and in fact often held heretical ideas or doctrines..

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You've got about as much teaching authority as a shetland sheepdog.

Christians were asking for the intercession of the saints from the beginning--long before your sect was even a gleam in satan's eye.

Not "from the beginning." Not until much later when pagan sects and practices had creeped into some churches unaware.

But it's interesting how so many posts of Roman Catholic apologists grow increasingly snarky and personal and aggressive, especially when making correct Scriptural observations such as "praying to Mary is against the second commandment."

Funny. I don't see that vitriol when disagreements come up over Jesus Christ or justification or sacraments. Nope. That peculiar defensiveness is reserved for a woman, a defensiveness which knows no civility and is exhibited by those who have little understanding of the Bible or its admonishment not to bow down to the stock of a tree.

That's why so many Christians here find all this attention and adoration slavishly and fawningly showered on Mary to be more than a bit creepy.

Roman Catholic apologists' eyes are not on the prize; their hearts are turned away from Christ onto the creature; and worst of all, they seem to feel no shame for this clear error which elevates the earthly mother and thus, demotes our heavenly Father's Son.

Who is preeminent in that photo? In that church? In that faith?

Judith where in the bible does it talk about the communion of saints?

As a failed Catholic who once taught a catechism class (do I remember that correctly?) I am quite certain that you already know the answer to that question. Therefore, I would call it another "trick question." A trick question is one that YOU know the answer to, you just want an opportunity to propagandize.

I am certain that you are aware that Catholics do NOT limit their beliefs to narrow interpretations of questionable translations of scripture.

[Judith Anne]

That's why so many Christians here find all this attention and adoration slavishly and fawningly showered on Mary to be more than a bit creepy.

YOUR opinion, YOUR slimy adjectives, and YOUR evaluation of others' behaviors. And that second photo has been discredited many times. Yet YOU keep posting it.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And this could only help you...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

That photo has never been "discredited" except by those who don't like what it says about the papacy.

And certainly I'm speaking my opinions. Unlike some Roman Catholic apologists who just parrot Rome's instructions without a thought to what the Bible really says.

[Global2010]

Still twisting the truth.

Oh and better not ask your friends to Pray for your intentions when in need.

Please Lord Take the scales of of Dr. Eckleburgs eyes so that he may see.

May God have Mercy on you.
End.

[Judith Anne]

Very often, I think about what the Bible says. Which translation is authoritative, to you, by the way? Which translation is inerrant? Which instructions do any Catholics here “parrot” without a thought to what the Bible really says?

[Judith Anne]

Dr. Eckleburg is not a he, and not a doctor.

If you were to ask me "So have you stopped beating your wife yet?" you would not be asking me an honest question, you would be falsely accusing me of beating my wife, a lie.

So far you have falsely accused me of saying that when people die their souls are dead, and of saying that sarcasm is a sin. Lies.

You seem to be hung up on me saying that gentiles are exempt from levitical law even tho I referenced Galatians to back my case.

Perhaps I should have referenced Acts 15 instead or in addition:

Acts 15:5-11

5Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, "The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses." 6The apostles and elders met to consider this question. 7After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago God made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the gospel and believe. 8God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. 10Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."

=============================================

You act as tho I am making things up, but here it is clear as day for you. I had assumed that since you were arguing doctrine that perhaps you knew or understood your bible.

I will say it again: Gentiles are exempt from Levitical law.

We are not Jews so we don't need to follow Jewish law.

This does not mean that sin is not sin.

Necromancy is a sin but no one is required to stone anyone over sin.

You asked for a definition for necromancy but again I answered your question before you asked it a few posts up. Perhaps you were still typing.

I have to run, but the top photograph is taken from one of four chapels in one church. Yes, I know which church it is, because I belong to that parish. Every Sunday morning I see that particular statue walking to the back of the Cathedral to process behind the cross. Yes, it is known as the Mary Chapel, but you’re cherry-picking. The focus of that specific church is Christ and anyone who thinks otherwise has never seen the Crucifix or the Mosaic in the east transcept or the Blessed Sacrament Chapel or the Sacred Heart Shrine. There’s no doubt who the focus in that parish is. None.

Beware..........

[Judith Anne]

We? My mother was a Jew. By Levitical law, so am I. But I am now Catholic. What should I do? You seem to have the authority of the Scriptures, so tell me — according to the Scriptures, am I subject to Levitical law or not?

I am stating my bead making on vacation next week.

Chaplets for my first attempt.

Have had the beads/crosses/medals for over a year just pondering what to do.

Leaving for a R and R from KV care so the beads are coming with.

[Judith Anne]
