Our lady of Laus said the following.

She DID; eh???


The official prayer to Our Lady of Laus goes:

Queen of Laus, kind and loving Mother, hear our pious pleas. Your son always hears your prayers, and you always hear your children. O pure Virgin, ceaselessly watch over our hearts from heaven. Let no dirt tarnish the heavenly whiteness. Be our support in virtue, all-powerful Virgin, and guide our feeble steps. If we fall, Compassionate Mother, kindly embrace us in your arms. Give us shelter under your wings when the storms burst with fury, spare us from cruel agony, and may the sinner repent with true remorse. Leave us not at our last hour, but let us sleep in peace at your maternal breast. And once awakening, drawing back the veil, we will see you in the splendor of heaven. Our Lady of Laus, Refuge of sinners, pray for us who have recourse to thee.

We know what God thinks about those who sow discord among brothers/sisters.

And what's the word on the street about those who dig up dead people and chop their fingers off?

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God"
Ephesians 6:17

Which; it if aligns with what the 'church' teaches, can be of some small use in a minor skirmish.

no one is denying that one MUST have faith to be saved by the freely given grace of salvation, however, it is not faith ALONE.

 

 

Sigh....

 

John 6:28-29

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”


1 John 3:21-24

Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

I invite you, count-your-change, to give your biblical interpretation proving your point that Jesus is not God.

Huh?

What kind of a challenge is THIS?

Amen to that.

In fact if these are the times we think they are then we are in for quite the mother of all skirmishes.Near the end the sky should be blotted out with mountains on their way to the sea and herds of swine washed up on beaches all over the place.Get your armor on 'cause there's gonna be slashing and hacking and laying waste! Sounds awesome but I won't discount the possibility that I might still find myself at some stage hiding under the bed in a cold sweat.What's headed the world's way is no small thing.

Thank God He IS able!

Cronos..."Jesus said it is not faith ALONE."
Elsie..."Those other guys sure got fooled then!"

However He DID say "...Be not afraid, only believe." (Mark 5:36)

“”She DID; eh???””

Yes , she did say that

Here is what was said by The Blessed Mother...

Mary asked Benedicta to admonish women and girls about living lives of scandal, especially those who commit abortion
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/vatican_recognizes_marian_apparitions_in_france/

“”The official prayer to Our Lady of Laus goes...””

There is more to the approved apparition than only the prayer’s

Thanks for posting the beautiful prayer though. The Holy Spirit used you to post this so others can use it.

I just recited the prayer this morning and will send it to others. Thanks again!

possibly they didn't read this:

1 Pet. 3:20-21: " It (Baptism )saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ" and Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved.
Matt 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Luke 13:3 [U]nless you repent you will all likewise perish.
John 6:54 [H]e who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Matt 25:31-46 34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:
35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:
36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

There is no "alone" except saved by Grace Alone. Christ Himself teaches -- repent, believe, be baptised, love and help your neighbor and endure to the end

If anyone got fooled into it being just faith ALONE, then they should take it up with Jesus Christ

Imagine this scene...

You are back on Golgotha 2000 yrs ago standing at the foot of the very cross that holds Jesus,the saviour of the world,the King of the universe,the ONE who willingly laid down His life for you.As you look into His eyes you're distracted by jostling next to you and turn to see a man come close to Jesus' mother.You hear him speak to her..."...kind and loving Mother, hear our pious pleas. Your son always hears your prayers, and you always hear your children. O pure Virgin, ceaselessly watch over our hearts....Be our support in virtue, all-powerful Virgin, and guide our feeble steps. If we fall, Compassionate Mother, kindly embrace us in your arms.... spare us from cruel agony.... Leave us not at our last hour.... Our Lady.... Refuge of sinners, pray for us who have recourse to thee." After hearing that you turn your eyes back to Jesus' gaze.Now try and imagine what His look might convey.You might even turn to look into Mary's eyes and wonder what they might say.

I'll have a totally my own opinion,totally my own interpretation,totally my own blind uneducated spent way too much time in the trees aspiring to the dizzying heights of a slack jawed yokel stab in the dark guess at what Mary might say to all of that...ahem..."He is here,speak to Him"

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

CYC strongly believes that Jehovah is the only true God, the creator of all things, and the "Universal Sovereign" and Jesus is God's only direct creation, that everything else was created by means of Christ, and that the initial unassisted act of creation uniquely identifies Jesus as God's "only-begotten Son".

He has given his biblical reasons for doing so.

Is this correct, cyc?

Well, there is some validity to the typology concept. One that Catholics will become very familiar with is the typology of Christ and anti Christ. The “alter Christus” or sometimes referred “persona Christus” is what the priest is called. Alter Christus literally means “another Christ”. Even those who are not Christian understand when we talk about the anti Christ and how he will be followed. Just look at the millions and millions of people who now follow an “alter Christus” to understand how easy it will be for the anti Christ.

With the combination of Christian and Pagan practices the Catholic Church has been very successful in deluding the masses. With their propensity to follow and believe the “apparitions”, visions, and prophecies of questionable origin it’s not difficult to envision the ease to which the anti Christ will rise to power. Scripture clearly shows that the Anti Christ will do “signs and wonders” and “appears and an angel of light”.

It’s amazing to me that even the Catholic Church itself gives clear signs of it’s place in prophecy.

Sure, go and check posts

quotes "Corresponding to what? What Adam lost for mankind, perfect life. Hence Christ is also called “the last Adam” (1 Cor. 15:45) The first Adam was not part God, part human or God in human form nor was the last Adam, Christ."

at least he has the honesty to admit his beliefs -- why don't you?

Also...


"Hey there my loved disciple!"

"Yes; Jesus?"

Pay attention to what Mom Woman tells you; as she will be the one to go through 'til I come back.

"Ok; Lord."

"She will remain sinless in your house."

Well yeah it's out there all right.

I certainly don't want to be flippant about that place and that hour.The cross is in a sense the axle the universe turns on.It's a very big,very sobering thing.He is with us,even till the end of the age.He is so much more than simply "of age",speak to Him.

>> that we can accept or reject<<

Interesting that Catholics believe that Christ’s sacrifice on the cross only “opened the door” as it were to salvation or “makes it possible”. Evidently the rest is up to man’s will to “accept or reject” that salvation. That would say that man is ultimately responsible for his own salvation. How one can justify that with scripture is beyond me. Of course as we are told often, Catholics don’t have to rely on scripture for what they consider truth nor does it have to agree with scripture.
