from you

Really? Can you show me where I wrote that the Assumption denies the Resurrection? Or are you just trying (and failing miserably I might add) to read my mind?

[1000 silverlings]

ok, don’t defend your anti-scriptual theology, just start with the ad hominems. Trolls, satanists and bigots, got it. Um—hum

[Pyro7480]

It truly is a crying shame that this thread is closing on the 8,800 mark.

[Pyro7480]

Beam. Splinter.

[wagglebee]

Especially when you consider the essay that the thread stemmed from.

[1000 silverlings]

the theology that I posted, from Hebrews, and Corinthians, explains it all, start there

[1000 silverlings]

I’ll get the popcorn while you go find where I have called people trolls, bigots and satanists

[count-your-change]

Don't get carried away on the back of own hyperbole. The meaning of what Paul said is rather simple and easily understood had you taken time to examine it closely. As your non-sequitur of a response demonstrates, that didn't happen.

[wagglebee]

just start with the ad hominems.

Trust me, I was calling Hank a troll long before this thread.

Question for you.

Who do you think is closer to you in beliefs:

A. A Catholic
or
B. Someone who claims to be a Christian but denies the Trinity

[OLD REGGIE]

Prove that Constantine added anything to Christianity, much less pagan things.

Well........the fact that Constantine lived and died a pagan while still having effective control over the, yet to be named, Catholic Church is cause for concern.

It is true that Constantine added much more to the Catholic Church after his death with the FORGED Donation of Constantine.

No, YOU said you got that the Assumption denied the Resurrection from me. Either you can show where I wrote that or you were trying to read my mind.

OK, take a deep breath. If we had the body of the woman who we call the Blessed Mother of God, do you think there's ANY chance we wouldn't be parading it all over the place?

Nope, not a chance it would be broken up in little pieces and sold to the highest bidder.. for the good of their soul..it does cost money to keep the palace at rome and all the popes furs..

I mean come on, we've got places claiming to have all sorts of strange relics, if someone thought they had the body of the BVM (or maybe even thought they could get away with claiming they had the body...) we'd never hear the end of it. You wanna talk about Madonna on tour? That'd be a procession that would drive puritans to drink.

My point WAS why would the church speculate on where Mary's tomb is, if they believe she was assumed.. (perhaps while still alive.. but not YET a doctrine)

What the Reformation cult hereon teaches/believes depends on 1)the day of the week 2)the temperature 3)the position of the moon 4)what the magic 8 ball says.

The responses fall on deaf ears. They don’t care, they don’t want to know. The only thing they love is the sound of their own voices. They require lots of prayers.

I called the person who posted this thread a troll. He was a troll, he was banned for being a troll.

Do I believe their are bigots and those who serve Satan on this thread? Yes. But I have NEVER indicated by name who they are.

Let's face it, this thread was started by a leftist TROLL who was banned for being a TROLL and his essay is based on a complete misunderstanding of history.

Clearer?

[wagglebee]

The meaning of what Paul said is rather simple and easily understood had you taken time to examine it closely. As your non-sequitur of a response demonstrates, that didn't happen.

The fact that YOUR interpretation of Scripture is at odds with the Church's DOES NOT mean that your's is correct.

[RnMomof7]

"If God wished Mary to be as "venerated" as she is by Catholics,"

It would be in His power for it to be so.....oh, wait she is.

Ohh yes she is, but that does not mean it is Gods will.. Idols are never Gods will

Isa 42:8 I [am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

[1000 silverlings]

well, you made the claim that she was assumed bodily into heaven. And so I asked you, which you never answered, what was the point of Jesus dying and being resurrected? Then I posted theology, from the scriptures explaining the resurrection, and why all men must die to be resurrected spiritually. If some men need not die, then what was the point?

[Natural Law]

"Ohh yes she is, but that does not mean it is Gods will.. Idols are never Gods will"

It doesn't mean it isn't either. It is a matter of which interpretations we choose to accept. I reject yours.

Oh, and by the way, your functional definition of "idol" doesn't make any sense.
