WAHHHHHH!!!!!!
No. I didn’t say “you”.
Try some reading comprehension.
Guilty conscience?
Throw a rock over a fence and the dog that yelps is the one that got hit.
But some so-called church "fathers" saw marriage and its relations as unclean.
And that mentality is still alive and well in the RCC.
Not much has changed over the years, has it?
Mind reading again?
Man alive, that makes you look desperate! That constitutes mind reading? Trying to figure that out, or why you said it, invites mind reading!
I just checked the boards at Vegas...even money bet someone runs to the religion moderator. :)
I respect you for you postings in other areas but cannot agree with you on Mary. Sorry.
Is Jesus God? Was the incarnation the greatest story ever told? Why? Was it not because God so loved the world He gave his only son to mankind to dwell among us, save us redeem us? Did not the person Jesus Christ, the divine person Jesus have the nature of God and the nature of man? Was the person Jesus Christ born of Woman? Was not Mary his mother? Was she the mother of the human nature of Jesus or was she the mother of the person Jesus? When your mother gave birth to you did you have a soul? Did she create your soul, your mother? But non the less even though your soul was created in eternity your mother non the less gave birth to you body and soul? She was the your mother?
The notion of Mary as mother of God simply confirms the Churches understanding that Jesus was both God and man not just man who did powerful holy things. No Arius was wrong. The person Mary gave birth to was both God and man. Thus Jesus born of the woman Mary was truly God and thus God’s greatest gift to man and One sufficient to redeem man. Mary was His mother in the flesh and The Holy Spirit- the Sanctifier and giver of life conceived Jesus in her womb. Mary was the mother of the person Jesus who was both God and man. The birth of the Son of God Who was one with the Father before all ages, the birth of Jesus to the woman Mary is the greatest mystery, gift, and story in the entire history of Heaven and earth.
Who you building up here? Jesus or Mary?
And as a former ex-Catholic, I am praying for your return.
That's some pretty poor philosophy there...Time may be meaningless to Mary but it's pretty important to people on earth praying to her...
Then why pray to her to ask her for salvation and grace, and help and healing??? And to answer prayers if she has no sovereignty???
Nope...Joseph was not the Foster Father...He was technically the Step-Father...The husband of Mary...Thus the real King of heaven...If Mary is the Queen, Joseph is the King...
Now there are two bets...The 2nd one on who it is that runs to the moderator...
As for Joseph's relation to the Royal Line of David, he was of the House of David in his own right. If you want to explore all the dynastic or courtly implications thereof, go right ahead.
But it does not automatically follow that if he was the husband of Mary and step-father of Jesus, he was King of the Universe. It doesn't work that way, for instance in Jewish monarchies. Was Jesse, as David's father, considered King of Israel? You see the problem.
I could pray to YOU, iscool, to intercede for me for salvation and grace, help and healing. Intercession is all that’s implied, and intercession is not a function of personal sovereignty.
>> Mariology <<
More like Mariolatry than just Mariology, IMHO.
With all due respect to Iscool, he/she can only pray to God on your behalf.
You can ask iscool to pray for you as they are a person here on earth and this would be in line with the examples we have in the NT; but you do not pray TO iscool; just as we do not pray TO Mary. Neither of the last two would be examples found in the NT.
My apologies to you jobim.....got you confused with the other poster.
It's actually goodwithagun who lost whatever argument they were trying to make based on the title they are using.
Always funny when catholics are told the truth about their religion they claim it's hate or anti-catholic....yet I find they cannot defend their positions from a Biblical perspective, which they claim they are able to do.
Glad to hear you donated to Cruz. He gave a powerful speech at one of those "hardened anti-catholic" schools" yesterday. :)
