“But narses just LOVES to post his 5 favorite pictures over and over”
There are some people—none of whom post on FR, of course, but just some people—who never get anything, and never get that they didn’t get it.
Narses’ pictures are not *false* information, you see, so...oh, why even bother?
I’m going to look at some Catholic art, play some Catholic music, light a votive candle, burn some incense, and try to pray away all the filth that the fang and claw protestants have sloshed on me.
Please show the infallible source that show where the apostles taught the assumption of Mary.
three Popes (Paul V, Urban VIII and Alexander VII) have officially declared that heliocentrism is opposed to Sacred Scripture, and condemned the notion that heliocentrism was a truth to be believed with certainty. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/deaconsbench/2011/08/galileo-was-wrong-the-church-was-right/
Galileo was wrong, the church was right: theologians attempting to defend the Church by arguing that the condemnation of Galileo did not engage the Church’s authority or impose an obligation in conscience on the faithful to hold geocentrism as true have of course laid themselves open to the argument of liberal Catholics or would-be Catholics that they are therefore free to reject other decrees of the Holy See on any topic from scriptural interpretation to the immorality of contraception.” — http://www.catholicintl.com/galileowaswrong/index.html
Like some other pages on this site, that one has since been expunged, but it is easily documented that this was/is the view of Sungenis and others,. apparently including the infamous Scripture wresting "scripturecatholic" (http://www.scripturecatholic.com/geocentrism.html) some RC here uncritically cut abnd paste from.
That is absurd, and has been shown time and time again, and as can be substantiated, and your statement has as much credibility as the one that omnisciently asserts that is and never has been a bit of anti-Protestant bias omn FR. And which explains how the new assertion can be made.
God spoke directly to Moses; yet when God sent a message to Mary, He sent an Angel.
Who is greater, Moses or Mary?
But that's all any of us are going to encounter Him as.
Can you cite an example on this thread akin to your example of an absence of a meteorological report on the day of Jesus' baptism?
Catholics demonstrate again and again that Catholic beliefs are “based on Scripture and are in full agreement with it.”
Well, if Roman Catholic beliefs are based on Scripture and in full agreement with it, does Roman tradition ADD anything to Scripture that is binding on the Christian conscience or does it NOT ADD anything to Scripture that is binding on the Christian conscience?
And are all binding traditions traditions that were taught by the apostles, or has tradition evolved and developed so that there are binding traditions necessary for salvation that the Apostles did not teach?
If there are some mysterious oral traditions that were taught by the apostles that are not in Scripture would you mind providing any of the actual content of any such supposed Apostolic oral traditions?
Cordially,
And God brought forth His pure word thru Moses, and did mighty miracles thru him, and baptized the Israelites unto Moses, who was willing to be damned for the Israelites, as he was a type of Christ, with a noble mother like Mary.
However, unlike even the often-idolatrous Jews who did not elevate Jochebed above that which is written, which we are admonished not to do, Caths make Mary into a type of demigoddess.
For which they employ specious Roman Reasoning, that since God can do something they Rome can say he did, as seen in the OP: "And, since it was within His power to grant her this great honour, to preserve her from the corruption of the tomb, we must believe that He really acted in this way".
Thus if Rome wanted, they could say Mary parted the Red Sea, made an axe head float, raised the dead.
Or that she suffered all the consequences of sin and saved us through her merits, and is "Mother of her Creator...through Whom the Holy Trinity is sanctified." and that “The power thus put into her (Mary’s) hands is all but unlimited," having “immeasurable greatness,” and "all in heaven and on earth, even God himself, is subject to the Blessed Virgin,..." "her prayers and requests are so powerful with him that he accepts them as commands...because it is always humble and conformed to his will, the dispenser of all he possesses...” having “authority over the angels and the blessed in heaven,”...even that ”God gave her the power and the mission of assigning to saints the thrones made vacant by the apostate angels who fell away through pride....all the angels in heaven unceasingly call out to her...They greet her countless times each day with the angelic greeting, "Hail, Mary", while prostrating themselves before her, begging her as a favour to honour them with one of her requests...The whole world is filled with her glory,.." " there is no grace which Mary cannot dispose of as her own, which is not given to her for this purpose." “sometimes salvation is quicker if we remember Mary's name then if we invoked the name of the Lord Jesus.." "O immaculate Virgin, we are under thy protection, and therefore we have recourse, to thee alone, and we beseech thee to prevent thy beloved Son, who is irritated by our sins, from abandoning us to the power of the devil. - . . Thou (Mary) art my only hope. . . . Lady in heaven, we have but one advocate, and that is thyself, and thou alone art truly loving and solicitous for our salvation..." "the Holy Spirit acts only by the Most Blessed Virgin, his Spouse." so "we cannot honor her to excess" http://peacebyjesus.witnesstoday.org/MarySC.html#ascriptions
But which (in the above paragraph) they actually do! And more.
Surely those are not all things said about Mary by the Catholic Church are they?
Thanks. I was really scared because it was so high, she was going to send me to the ER if it had not gone down.
Not only do you insult all the non-Catholic Christians here - those that refuse to be bullied by certain Roman Catholics -and who go to the trouble of REPEATEDLY explaining why certain RC dogmas aren't acceptable to them, you continue to accuse the Religion Moderator of showing favoritism, not ensuring a "level" playing field for you and allowing rule breaking by non-Caths while dinging the rule breaking Catholics! But, you cannot show even one time where that was the case. No one expects the Moderator to monitor every single thread down to the last post to ensure compliance - we are, after all, all grown-ups here. But there is a "report abuse" button available to anyone who feels the moderator needs to be brought in. How often have you used that feature?
Furthermore, you cannot point to ANY post where you have personally been insulted without the Mod reprimanding nor can you point out what you believe are "lies" being told to ones "heart's content" while you have been prohibited from rebutting it - that's just silly. As the rules explain, disruptors are not allowed to stay very long on open religion forum threads and those who continue to flaunt the rules after repeated warnings can and do get told to leave the thread. Whiners and crybabies are even less welcome. The most egregious ones get zotted!
It does? Do you want to name them?
Yes, your posts do show that.
No, not all "officially," but they are so prevalent and uncensored that they are implicitly sanctioned, all under the premise that saying it is only "hyperdualia" vs. "latria" makes it so, though only God is seen receiving the scope and manner of attributions and accolades overall.
