I didn’t save them. Did you?

It’s very true of our cranks on this thread.

[HossB86]

I didn’t save them. Did you?

Well, if you didn't save 'em, you can't claim 'em, can you? So... it WAS a hollow claim after all. I mean, really: accuse a person of something you can't back up with evidence? Sounds personal to me.

Thanks for the clarification.

>>Actually that phrase comes directly from the Douay-Rheims translation of Luke 1:28.<<

LOL! So does "and she shall crush your head". Neither one of the them are correct or agree with the original language texts.

[DJ MacWoW]

Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven. Jesus was God in the flesh. Comparing mankind to Jesus is futile.

That's the problem; what you're saying doesn't follow. So I was asking for clarification.

Oh, really? Play all the recordings you have of Jesus saying what you say he says against Catholics, you kooky single-minded bigot.

A little personal there, aren't we?

Flak is heaviest when you're over the target I suppose. That's okay.

(Yet he didn’t follow the One he liked, did he?)

[CynicalBear]

The Holy Spirit called her “mother of Jesus”. Catholics call her “mother of God”. I for don’t have to wonder who is more accurate.

[CynicalBear]

And yet here you are.

[elhombrelibre]

You’re flacky when you’re offering nothing of value but your own crackpot anti-Catholic gibberish.

[elhombrelibre]

You think Mary was not the Mother of God? Oh, that’s right. You’re the expert on how folks should pray and what Christianity is and how you want to make it divisive.

[Seraphicaviary]

Mediatrix is not to place her on the same level as Christ. If you pray for me, then you are a mediator for me to Christ. Mary just does it on a wide scale. Her intercession is a great thing, but its absence is not an obstacle to salvation.

If you are going to use arguments from Catholic thought, then you need to use them as Catholics understand the words.

[rwa265]

The Holy Spirit called her “mother of Jesus”. Catholics call her “mother of God”. I for don’t have to wonder who is more accurate.

We’ve had a conversation about this before; I do not recall your answer.

In John 1 we are told that the Word was God, was made flesh, was the only begotten of the Father, was Jesus.

In Luke 1 we are told that the angel of the Lord Gabriel told Mary that she would conceive and bring forth a son that she is to call Jesus, and that holy thing which shall be born of her shall be called the Son of God.

So how is it that Mary is not the Mother of God incarnate?

[Seraphicaviary]

That means the same thing... unless you do not think Jesus is God.

[Colofornian]

Where is Sola Scriptura in the Bible?

Alright, I know you're going in this direction because the very focus of the article is that the rosary isn't "Biblical"...but the key thing in exchanging claims here is not to pull the "technical" switch by steering clear of all words NOT officially listed in the Bible...

...Like Trinity, Bible, etc.

Elsewise, we'd have to toss most of the words we have for Eucharist/Communion & the RC church would have to unload over HALF of these terms:

Glossary of Roman Catholic Terms

The Q REALLY is: Is this concept embraced within the Bible.

For Sola Scriptura

John 20:31:

31 But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. (2 Pet. 1:20)

No dear one, I meant why are people questioning the salvation of Catholics. That’s what these threads do.

A variety of posters have a variety of reasons for posting. Mine is to speak up for I know to be true, by faith in Jesus Christ and by the leading and building up of the Holy Spirit Who He sent those who believe in Him...a Comforter, He said.

My reason for posting is not to attack individuals but to refute any and all untruths that individuals are taught wherever they may led astray from what is true...the truth as revealed sufficiently in the Holy Bible.

If I believed that certain denominations and cults all held to the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then it would be possible for me to have fellowship with those apostate denominations and cults.

But the truth is The Truth, and not all churches are based on the truth of Jesus Christ and what is clearly written in the Holy Bible. Many church-attendees have been brought to believe in false religion and fantasies rather than what is factual and true about Who Lord Jesus Christ really is and what He has finished on our behalf.

Not all church-attendees, Catholics, Protestants and at other brand name churches, have been born-again or can speak sincerely of a Hope that is within them, other than the false hope of erroneous religious teachings.

Galatians 1:8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!
