Pope Francis, "If Mary is not your Mother, you are an orphan!"

WE are the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus dwells in our hearts by faith.

We don't need to go anywhere to find Him. Where two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst.

Acts 17:24-25 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

[metmom]

Um... That’s Old Testament, old covenant times.

God destroyed the Temple for a reason.

Just as the veil was torn because it wasn’t needed any more, the temple was destroyed because it wasn’t needed any more.

[Elsie]

The only person to ever walk the face of this earth who didn't sin and wasn't God was Mary.

Catholic propaganda.

NO data exists to back this up!

[Elsie]

Are your two loves EQUAL?

Your ability to twist everything is getting annoying.

'Twist' WHAT?

[Elsie]

::eyeroll::

Still unable to SHOW any dishonor; eh?

[Elsie]

You refuse to post a response to me that Jesus is sufficient for salvation.

...or that the 'church' is NECESSARY for it!

[Elsie]

John 6:28-29

[Elsie]

My goodness, Elsie, Jesus endured hours of absolute torture for us, and right before he stated "It is finished," he says to John, "Behold your mother." Since these words fell at the very end [of his life], wouldn't it stand to reason they were of utmost importance and should not be ignored?

My goodness, Mlizzy, the Prots in this thread have endured hours of absolute torture; seeing how your chosen religion has so tainted you RCC members ability to actually READ the bible!

and right before he stated "It is finished," he says to John, "Behold your mother." Since these words fell at the very end [of his life], wouldn't it stand to reason they were of utmost importance and should not be TWISTED to mean something entirely different:

Hey WORLD!

'Woman' is now YOUR Mother; too!

Pray to her to get to me."

[Elsie]

God created Mary sinless

More undocumented; non-biblical assertion.

It is DAMN-near HERESY!

[Elsie]

ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD.

('cept 'WOMAN'; of course!)

[Elsie]

What did Jesus say he would do concerning those who deny him on Earth?

It mattereth not; as the 'church' would teache that He really didn't mean THAT; but THIS.

[Elsie]

Nice ART!

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

More undocumented; non-biblical assertion.

Your statement is non-biblical. Where does the Bible say that every religious truth is contained in the Bible?

It is DAMN-near HERESY!

Who has the authority to define heresies?

[Elsie]

Hint: Mary leads everyone to her Son, Jesus, as she’s the mother of God. Does this disturb you?

Yes.

Is it designed to do so?

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. (Although 'Woman' has to doing the LEADING first...)

John 6:44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (After 'Woman' has done the LEADING first...)

[Elsie]

Best not to take things out of context, lest you confuse the both of us.

Is this an admission you are confused?

[Elsie]

The Catholic Church has never promoted the worship of Mary.

Just the ABSOLUTE necessity to VENERATE her and PRAY to her and ADORE her and LOVE her; right?

If you DISHONOR her; she'll get snippy and not LEAD you to her Son.

[Elsie]

You're right. And I'm not going to...

Excuse me your Honor; I didn't know you were the High Priest; who can DEMAND that YOUR requests be met.

[Elsie]

Are there ANY Catholics in this thread, who are not as arrogant as you appear to be, that WILL answer the very simple question?

[Elsie]

This thread is about Mary.

This thread is about Mary.

This thread is about Mary.

This thread is about Mary.

[miss marmelstein]

What are you talking about? What pictures? (Surely you don’t mean Titian is only for 5 years olds, I pray God.) I don’t feel attacked at all. This is a fairly benign thread - unlike the usual Catholic bashing threads.
