Mark is also quick to tell us we’re wrong, but not so quick to demonstrate that he is right.

He demands Scriptural support, and yet in true Catholic fashion, when it is provided, it is dismissed off hand with NOTHING to back up their contentions.

They reject our Scriptural support and offer nothing in return.

This whole issue of the sin nature coming through the mother is nothing more than a bid to lay claim to the involvement of Mary in the process of salvation beyond dispute. We’ve seen it before. The Catholic church has tried it before in its deliberate mistranslation of the Hebrew in Genesis3:15. Anything to shoehorn in on God’s plan for mankind and rob the glory from Christ and God.

It’s really pathetic the unscriptural nonsense invoked to support their worship of Mary.

ANYTHING but Christ alone.

I've become increasingly convinced

that some folks . . .

for both psychodynamic and spiritual reasons

seem to be quite . . . fiercely . . .

possessive of and protective of . . .

the burrs under their saddles

or their curious affinity for strange pine-cone fetishes.

Evidently they LIKE every excuse they can find

for

OR throwing dust in the air and pretending every dust particle is a golden dew drop of saintly wisdom.

or

For throwing rocks and pretending they are nuggest of warm fuzzy charitable inclusive winsome truth.

or

For throwing out a whole NEW set of rabid straw dogs and pretending they are innocent friendly putty cats merely trying for a warm snuggle.

It's interesting occasionally from a psychological or sociological perspective. Mostly it's weary-ing because so much of it is sooooooo irrational; soooooooooo UNBiblical and soooooooooo unhistorical while too often hysterical to the max.

Well certainly... as it is just one of the pillars that props her up in their belief system. If those pillars are brought down...she no longer can take predominance in their 'Goddess' worship of her. The Image would fall but then Christ would have His sole rightful place...which He shares with no one...He's omnipotence would reign supreme as it should.

You guys are sola; well prove your claim with sola. I didn't make a claim; you guys did. Well, prove it with sola.

Scriptural support? Random verses do not prove anything except grasping at straws in order to try to save face after making silly statements.

You'll have to elaborate; I don't and Catholic that I know of worships Mary. But I did think it funny listening to the hens giggle over not passing any sin on to their children - just their men would. Does that mean that the hens now consider themselves sinless?
