For Advent: The Virgin Birth

[ebb tide]

Satan will do whatever he can and use whoever he can to remove Jesus as the One and only who can forgive sins.

Is that right?

Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. John 20:23

Or did Luther X that out your bible? Just like he X'd out the papacy and made Satan happy.

“So why is it so important in the scheme of things that Mary be considered immaculately conceived and perpetually virgin?”

It makes her into a Demi-god.

[metmom]

Jesus came and spent 33 years walking a sin corrupted world, interacting with sinful people.

Why would He NEED to be born in an *immaculate* womb?

Can’t He handle the exposure to regular people? No interacting with the unwashed? Is He too good for us or what?

[metmom]

Luther, Calvin and Zwingli disagreed with you.

Read this very carefully this time. I've told you before and it doesn't seem to have sunk in.

I

DON'T

CARE

WHAT

THEY

THOUGHT

It’s not my logic. It’s fulfillment of the Old Testament.

To counter your twisted logic, why didn’t Christ come in full glory with legions of angels?

[metmom]

Exactly. He wants his substitute. She’s his stand in so that people won’t trust Christ but her instead and based on what I’ve read online about what people and popes have said about her, it’s working.

[metmom]

No. I do not accept demonic apparitions, no matter who they pass themselves off as.

[ebb tide]

And apparently you don’t care what the apostles thought, either.

[metmom]

Golf courses......

[ealgeone]

Do you understand he importance and understanding of context in reading the Bible?? Catholics love one verse theology. Pull out a verse and it can mean anything you want.

[verga]

I think I will stick with ocams razor...

Would that be Norelco, or Gillette?

[ealgeone]

ebbtide is calling for a tee time right now I bet!

[metmom]

Yes, it's right.

Only God can forgive sin.

1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.

ONE mediator. And only one is needed.

[metmom]

Well, yeah, it’s not logic no matter whose it is.

[ebb tide]

Is He too good for us or what?

Your arrogance is appalling. Of course Jesus Christ is too good for us.

[Salvation]

LOL! That’s what Protestants do all the time.

I as a Catholic will always try to post the context around my quote.

So, please don’t put all Catholics in one bucket.

[metmom]

You tell me.

You’re the one saying *Nothing but the best for God’s Son.*

I’m saying that He came to share in our humanity and did so by becoming as much like us as possible without sinning.

[Salvation]

Amen!

[metmom]

Wrong.

I care what Scripture says.

Luther, et al, didn’t write Scripture.
