The Vatican should tell us how a mortal female can be the progenitor of God. Then they can tell us that catholiciism doesn’t want to make a demigoddess out of the Mother of Jesus.

I’m seeing the bigger problem now....some catholics are saying Scripture isn’t sacred.

Mormonism is fond of the saying that they believe the Bible ... as far as it is translated correctly.

The Greek word scripture, meant writings, nothing sacred.

1124 graphḗ – properly, writing. 1124 (graphḗ) is used 51 times in the NT – always of holy Scripture, i.e. the inspired, inerrant writings of the Bible (the 66 books of Scripture, 39 in Hebrew, 27 in Greek).

[The NT generally uses 1124 (graphḗ) for the Hebrew Scriptures (the OT) – but see also 2 Tim 3:16 and 2 Pet 3:16. 1124 (graphḗ) was used for the Hebrew Scriptures as early as Aristeas (about 130 bc; so MM).] HELPS Word-studies

If you learn nothing from our exchanges....CONTEXT is key to properly understanding the Word.

It seems odd that non-Catholics are under the impression that Paul wrote the Old Testament. I guess it is true that we can explain it to you, we just can’t understand it for you all. I will pray for you.

Would you like a list concerning the issue you responded to by ignoring and asking a diversionary strawman question instead of addressing the statement posted?

It’s a long list as many things that have been attributed to Mary the handmaid of the Lord (who was told she was going to be the mother of Jesus) when Catholicism replaced her with the Catholic Ever Virgin “Our Lady” (Heavenly Mother of us all) Sinless Mary.

Actually I have learned less than nothing. But it because of the human non-Catholic source.

That is immaterial.

My post was for your edification.

Maybe you should read 2 Peter 3:15-16.

and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, 16as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

CHECKMATE.....Again.

As I said I changed my tagline to something more appropriate to the non-Catholics, and it is not specious it is an Outback hat, worn by Colorado River guides.

My comment:

"God said come let us reason together, not argue for a belief system to trump God's word."

God does not fail.

Scriptures for your edification:

King James Bible, 1 Peter 2:23
Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously
John 15:18-21
"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you...If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you...because they do not know Him who sent Me."
