It’s not a word game if you’ve studied the Greek.


I’ve studied Greek. So show me a writing composed in Greek on the scapular. Greek words, like English words, often have loads of different meanings.

Never said anything about a statue being God.


Pardon me, in post 22 the word you actually used was Idols. I thought you were referring to statues. Not only was there nothing in seminary about the importance or usefulness of praying to statues, there was nothing about the importance and usefulness of praying to Idols.

I learn all sorts of things about Catholicism from you that we were never taught in seminary. A few of them I did pick up from Loraine Boettner. Maybe he attended the same Catholic seminary you did.

Never claimed the message of the apparition was delivered in Greek.

However, the message of the apparition is a false one.

btw....you didn't say if you wear the scapular or not.

Greek, in a lot of ways is more precise than English. Hence the need to study.

Ah, you're gonna go Clintonian...ok, I can play that game.

The statues/idols of Mary......happy now?

I've never heard of Boettner until you mentioned him.

However, this false apologetic I see offered up by Roman Catholics, in that a non-Roman catholic cannot study and understand Roman Catholicism is bogus.

IF that reasoning is allowed, then the Roman Catholic can never study and understand Islam, Mormonism, or anything outside of their own denomination.
