LOL, I’m not Louis Farrakan and the Lord Christ can remove all believers changed in any manner He chooses, but leaving the planet going up into the first Heaven is not going to be a spaceship trip, more like a Star Trek transporter, except the new bodies will not need technology to get around the Universe God has Created. Our new spacetime coordinate system existence will be far more efficient than man-made technologies.
You too...knock it off
Don’t insult mules, bro. Assurance of salvation is a beautiful thing, isn’t it? 😁👍👊😂😀🤗
Got it ... and thanks, I was letting little nettles get under my saddle.
Indeed Bro! To God be the Glory
Of course I participated! That's not the point. If I opened a RF thread about why Mary should not be called the Mother of God, would you ignore it? I have no doubt it would reach a hundred posts within an hour, mostly from outraged Roman Catholics! Now multiply that by a few more saying the same thing within a day of the last one or a few on the same day only with the title changed. Now do you see? My concern - which I previously voiced - is that we have argued over this subject multiple times year after year on the RF and nothing ever seems to be mutually resolved OR learned. So, it's not hard to recognize the true intent of Roman Catholics who post OPEN Religion Forum threads here. The question is why they then whine, complain, mock and scold those who post their comments of disagreement? Are they ignorant of how OPEN threads work? I know they aren't. Ergo, they must either get indulgences for "sticking up for Mary" or they enjoy fanning discord. Maybe it's both? I know it's NOT simply posting about their beliefs.
Please don't pretend to be an innocent bystander. You've tossed plenty of ridicule, sanctimony and negativity bombs at non-Catholics for explaining why certain RC dogmas are rejected.
Awesome Bro!
May The Lord bless him!
Good point, because the only way to not have a sin nature is to not have a human father.
If someone doesn't have a human father, there's not a lot of choices left, are there?
But the only option for being conceived without sin is to have God as your father, as Jesus did thus, if Mary were sinless, then she would have been part of the God head incarnated.
God is *theos*, not *kurios*.
Well, my tagline kind of says it all, doesn’t it. 👍☝️👊
Yes, you DID claim that ebb! Maybe you need writing for comprehension classes?
In(side) one person...
Joh 14:11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Sure it's the point. You were complaining about all the animosity and attention generated on another thread when you part of the attention it got.
If I opened a RF thread about why Mary should not be called the Mother of God, would you ignore it?I have no doubt it would reach a hundred posts within an hour, mostly from outraged Roman Catholics!
It's a discussion forum. Why post if you are not looking for discussion?
Now multiply that by a few more saying the same thing within a day of the last one or a few on the same day only with the title changed. Now do you see?
No, I don't see. It is a discussion forum. Go read a book if all the interaction is too much for you.
So, it's not hard to recognize the true intent of Roman Catholics who post OPEN Religion Forum threads here.
So, if a Catholic posts an OPEN thread in the RF you know the true intent? LOL. What's the true intent of non-Catholics who post in the OPEN threads? And by the way, I couldn't post this one as a caucus thread, but still found it worthy to be seen. And I have had people thank me for posting it, regardless of that "true intent" you think you can mind read.
The question is why they then whine, complain, mock and scold those who post their comments of disagreement?
And their is no whining, complaining, mocking and scolding form the non-Catholics on these threads? You're blind.
Please don't pretend to be an innocent bystander. You've tossed plenty of ridicule, sanctimony and negativity bombs at non-Catholics
And you haven't at Catholics? Again, you are a sanctimonious bunch.
Kurios is God.
“I guess, then, you do not consider the Father and the Holy Spirit to be God.”
You guess wrong.
“Since the Catholic argument is that Jesus is God and Mary is the mother of Jesus, therefore Mary is the mother of God, then the rest of the Trinity is either God or it’s not.”
False. Mary is only the mother of Jesus - who is God. She never gave birth to the Father nor the Holy Spirit.
“If it’s God, then Mary, being the mother of God, is by default, their mother too.”
Nope. Mary ONLY gave birth to Jesus - who is God. She never gave birth to anyone else, never the Father nor the Holy Spirit.
Since the Father and the Holy Spirit are non-corporeal beings there is no possible way for any human person to give birth to them. Jesus, of course, was not a non-corporeal being. He took on humanity - from His mother, Mary.
