Question where are Jesus word written? NT or OT? My Bible has them all in the NT.

[Salvation]

**I used to be Catholic. **

I’ve got news for you. If you are a baptized Catholic you are still a Catholic even though you may not presently be a practicing one. Sit down with a priest and find out the answers to why you think the Catholic Church makes things up and doesn’t believe in the Bible.

The Catholic Church gave the Bible to all other churches. Ponder it.

You are welcome to come back.....just sit down and talk with a priest.

He existed before “all” that He created.

Where have I trashed her?

If you’re going to accuse me of something, back it up.

>>So you see, Christians are not bashing Mary in any way, shape or form.

Catholics are bashing God’s Word by their tradition of Mary and all their accolades the RCC bestows on her which are not in Scripture. <<

Well, at least you are honest in your Catholic bashing. I am sure Salvation and a few others at least can see you coming.

[Salvation]

But meanwhile, Mary carried the Christ Child and was, indeed, the Ark of the New Covenant.

[mountn man]

The sin nature passed through man, the seed. Jesus Father was God himself.

[Salvation]

Kind mother of our Redeemer,

  the way to heaven for us, now and always,

  come to our help as we fall and strive to rise.

All nature stood still in wonder

  when you gave flesh

  to your own flesh’s Creator.

Virgin at Gabriel’s greeting,

  Virgin now and always –

  take pity on us sinners.

[MrB]

I specifically included a sarcasm tag in case you missed it...

[anniegetyourgun]

I’m not sure anyone here has said Catholics are damned to hell either.

[metmom]

RnMomof7 suggested that she might have been and that such would mean nothing. Or words to that effect. All meant with the greatest respect, no doubt, right RnMomof7?

Provide the link to where she suggested that.

For once, back something you say up with some documentation.

[anniegetyourgun]

sorry

[RnMomof7]

an honest question about salvation is not a lie..it is a question.. I know Catholics are never allowed to have questions, but as a protestant i am

“Mary was a virgin Jewish girl who happened to be of the correct lineage, who lived in the right time and place where circumstances would enable all the prophecy about Jesus birth and childhood to be fulfilled.

Making up stories about her being sinless, immaculately conceived, perpetually virgin, assumed and whatever else their fancy conjures up, and passing them off as truth does no one any favors, especially those duped into praying to her for favors as if she can do anything for them.”

[Jvette]

There was no “seed” involved in the conception of Jesus.

[narses]

“But she was not sinless and not always a virgin.”

So you say.

“It is an article of faith that Mary is Mother of the Lord and still a Virgin.”
