Because of the Protestant Reformers Beliefs On Mary

INDEED.

I often feel that way.

Though not always.

LOL.

Sounds like a reasonable way to ventilate them, to me.

LOL.

I’m well into my 2nd version of Enoch 2.

When I get done, I expect to start the thread.

If someone wants to start it earlier, it’s OK with me.

So when you say you pray you are kidding — however one poster here DOES pray to the saints.

Don’t you have some kind of issue with that? Christ taught the disciples (and consequently, us) to pray to The Father... not saints.

Quix,

Bless your heart — you’re a gem. :D

Love the white hanky thing too...

Romans 3:23 says it all... but apparently God’s Word isn’t good enough unless someone in Rome says it is.

Looks like God had you fully prepared to receive that.

Yes, He did. At the time, I didn't know that. Just thought when you hear The Truth, that's it. And I wasn't looking for Truth, I was content where I was because that was all I knew and was 'told' this is it!

It wasn't until I started reading these threads that I thought back how easy it was for me. But, also, while I didn't know God's Word - I never rejected it. And that is what we are seeing here. They are spinning their wheels to protect deception. What the HS did for me, I know He has done for everyone here. But Jesus looks on the heart. Jesus turned away from those who He knew wouldn't receive Him. So, IMO, they are on dangerous ground - quicksand with nothing of substance below it.

The road to hell is wide. the road to heaven is straight and narrow - few will find it... That "vast majority" seems to be an handicap.

You got that right! HIS WAY, HIS Word ALONE is the straight and narrow path.

Thanks for your encouragements and for your treasured contributions on FR.

The problem is that you reject the first part of the teaching, that it is Christ who intervened at her conception. So there is no need for further intervention.

Got some Scriptural support for that doctrine?

What the immaculate conception teaches

Who is that? Where does 'IT' teach?

The problem is that you reject the first part of the teaching,

Telling a believer on God's Word ALONE that they 'reject' something Jesus said?

that it is Christ who intervened at her conception. So there is no need for further intervention.

And the Scripture that we rejected is where?

I'm reminded that you are the poster who claimed he doesn't pray to Mary as you did your spin and later on it was a different story. So your 'no need for further invention' is funny!! The RCC Roman Catholic Comedy act is in full swing.

[HossB86]

Ooohh... I’d like to see that Scriptural reference too!

:D

The argument that Mary never sinned is totally not supported by any Scripture and is an argument from silence itself. it’s only supported by tradition, which is meaningless.

Just because a group of men get together and decide something and then claim that God directed them, doesn’t make it so. If the history of the Catholic church was above reproach, they MIGHT have some basis for making the claim of Godliness and being Spirit led. The history of the Catholic church precludes both.

[Salvation]

You are getting the last word in — that’s control.

[metmom]

The only thing assumed in this whole business of Mary is what the Catholic church teaches about her. There’s no Scriptural basis for any of it. It’s all assumption and that’s the only kind of assumption concerning Mary that can be acknowledged.

I guess he’s busy getting ready for his comedy act searching for a Scripture he can dress up for his agenda and his next post will be we are wrong in our interpretation! LOL. It sure gets old, doesn’t it?

[presently no screen name]

Exactly! All based on the RCC doctrine/tradition, blah blah.

Doctrines of the devil.

[presently no screen name]

And what you just did was manipulation!

Catholics never disappoint because that’s all they have - control, manipulation, intimidation - all from witchcraft, deception straight from the master of lies!

THANK YOU, GOD, for YOUR WORD that exposes the snares of satan! It teaches us what YOU want us to know!
