On the Holy Rosary

CATHOLIC CLASSICS UNLIMITED ^

[Elsie]

Please provide one Scriptural example where different Churches, having disparate doctrines, are considered equally orthodox.

Here is an example where your early Catholic teaching was so grossly in ERROR that an ANGEL had to send a message!!

Revelation chapters 1-3

[Elsie]

I don't understand, love and revere her as I've come to believe that Jesus wants me to.

This is probably from the FACT that nothing like this is even HINTED at in the Book that Rome assembled!

[Elsie]

< Furthermore, presuming something is not valid and authoritative simply because it is not cited in Scripture is similarly erroneous (i.e. Trinitarian theology)

Furthermore, presuming something IS valid and authoritative simply because it is not cited in Scripture is simply a Roman technique.

[Elsie]

Actually, the rosary is made up from the common people entreating the Throne of Heaven for a simple, tangible devotion to that Throne.

What?

No apparitions or visitations had ANYTHING to do with it?

[Elsie]

I've already demonstrated the circularity that underpins those questions, thus making answering them unnecessary.

What you've demonstrated is an arrogance that states such mundane things are beneath you.

1 Peter 3:15 KJV

But be ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with ...

[Elsie]

"God's Word," and Protestant dogma concerning it, are not the same thing.

"God's Word," and Catholic extension to it, are not the same thing.

[rwa265]

Well, bless your soul. May the peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you as you seek Him in your own way through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

[Elsie]

Mary is dead and in her grave.

[jacknhoo]

What “text?”...lol. Rome made it up...lol. Unfreakin’ believable.

[Elsie]

Granted?

Please explain to the lurkers what you mean.

[Elsie]

God hasn’t told you to do what you’re doing about Mary. That’s all on you.

Really?

From a CATHOLIC???

[jacknhoo]

Nah.

[Elsie]

It appears that verga has cloned himself!

[Elsie]

When you hold up Catholicism up to Protestant standards, it fails every time;

And when you hold up Catholicism up to BIBLICAL standards...

[Elsie]

But you already admitted Trinitarianism requires a systematic study of the whole of Scripture.

He DID??

[Elsie]

Cherry picking scripture to prop up your hate of Mary and her veneration will get you nowhere...

Adding to scripture to prop up your LOVE of Mary and her veneration will get you all kinds of stuff; I'm told.

[Elsie]

Jurors; note the defense's rebuttal:

Unfreakin’ believable.

[Elsie]

Nah.

Evidence for the defense; Item #12

[jacknhoo]

Lemme guess you’re another self guided follower of “text.”

[papertyger]

The prohibition here is not simply that of some practice based on lack of example, bu that of teaching as a doctrine that something is a common fundamental practice despite any positive example, while what is taught is contrary to it...

Please define "common fundamental practice," then explain how your understanding differs from the keeping of "law."
