A question = no answer.

(What’s the questioner to think??)

Can you show a Bible verse that says anyone other than Jesus is a child of Mary?

It's as easy as showing that Mary was sinless from the bible.

Can you show a Bible verse that says anyone other than Jesus is a child of Mary?

Can you show a Bible verse that has the phrase: Mother of GOD

I don't find any Greek vulgarities in his writings …

Perhaps Jesus DID change is mind. But - being all knowing, wouldn't he have known He would change His mind. I saw a note in one of the versions where it said that some manuscripts have something extra in it: I am not going to the festival [YET], for my time has not yet come...

So then Jesus wouldn't even had to have changed His mind. But - He does go to the Festival in “secret”. Isn't that sort of a lie?

While this all makes for an interesting discussion, I'm glad that the main thing is, Jesus died for ALL of my sins. From the terrible ways I treated my parents as a youth (and that they lived long enough that I could ask for forgiveness)to the sometimes deceitful acts of my adult life. I'm still growing.

And it is interesting how my behavior SHOULD be solid as a rock, but it is so often influenced by the other party. Get undercharged at a small cafe with nice help and I'll point it out. “Oh - we had two coffees, you only charged for one.”

But then “Hey honey - the cable company forgot to charge us for that extra cable box! Lucky us.” (Bad example though. The cable company would never forget something like that. And if I mentioned it to my wife, she would be on the phone to correct their error!)

I’m not sure what you mean by “that exception.”

Please ignore 215. I didn’t see this post. I will look at it.

There is nothing in the scriptures that states that it's OK to lie in certain circumstances.

Actually, there was nothing in Scripture that stated it was unconditionally wrong and never OK to work on the Sabbath until the Lord taught it could be done in order to save lives, as it was in keeping with the intent of the law . And there is nothing in the scriptures that states that it's unconditionally wrong and never OK to lie in certain circumstances, and instead it shows noble souls lying to evil men in order to save lives, and implicitly sanctions it, as God is shown only rewarding the midwives, Elisha, Rahab, Jael who lied to save souls, and nowhere reproved them.

Why something is wrong to lie must be considered, and thus God can do what would be evil for man to do, without actually violating His law, because He alone can make it work out for the good of those who love Him.

NP.

I’m not denying that Christ was God. Christ was fully God and fully Man. To ignore the “fully Man” part is to simmply not understand the miracle of the incarnation and all that it represents. You’re the one who seems to be ignoring Christ as the “Son of Man”. What exactly do you think it means that “Christ emptied Himself”?

[HarleyD]

Context.

Not much to misinterpret.
