She was already pregnant before she said a word.
She personally had no part in anything; she was a vessel.
Matthew 16 16:17 - [16]Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven.
I find this interesting. So is that to say that when Peter said the above-mentioned he was not inspired by God? Isn't the profession itself inspirational? Or, rather, it became inspriational only as a result of being recorded in Scripture?
I think this is one of the fundamental flaws of protestantism. It tends to forget these were real people and real events. In some way it's like a protestant version of the modern "picutres or it didn't happen," mindset.
You will be surprised at the moment of your death when you find out the truth.
Your question is self-contradicting, and wrapped in apparent confusion.
According to you only scripture is inspirational. So I ask: was Peter's profession of faith to Christ inspirational in and of itself? Was it a real event? Did it really happen?
>> “You will be surprised at the moment of your death...” <<
.
No understanding of scripture?
His elect are changed at the last trump, not before. The rest will have to wait for another 1000 years.
Been reading a lot of pamphlets or listening to someone who hates the Catholic Church lately?
How could and angel lie with the words, “Hail Mary, full of grace,”??
Peter was given that knowledge as all believers are, but it goes no further for anyone whose words were not being witnessed by one writing scripture.
“You may recall my being pilloried for pointing out that Mary likely carried cells from Jesus’s gestation all the rest of her life. Those cells were made by Jesus yet remain behind after birth in normal gestation and birth. It is an interesting topic ...”
Scientifically, you are correct. At least as fair as simple DNA is concerned.
Gabriel doesn’t lie, but all catholics lie to themselves when they read his words incorrectly.
Sorry, we believe St. Gabriel, not you.
So the only inspiring thing in all of salvation history that is worth anything is Scripture itself. I see. And people wonder why protestants may be viewed as worshipping a book.
Real
To ‘me’...
The Father is the transcendent nature of God, vast and unknowable.
The Son the immanent expression, recognized in the host and all Creation,
giving knowledge of and confidence(faith) in God.
The Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God which flows to you and through you,
filling you with joy and peace, gratitude and love.
Gabriel is not a saint!
He is a warrior and messenger for Yehova.
Catholics worship God.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, three in One.
He is that and a Saint. He resides in Heaven with God. That makes him a saint.
One has to be a human, and a believer in Yeshua to be a saint.
Gabriel doesn’t pass the test.
Just another bit of catholic nonsense to drag them to hell I guess.
