James wrote a book of the new testament, I’d say that’s noteworthy.
Easy now, let’s not explode too many Catholic heads. The true religion doesn’t like to be exposed to truth, it’d rather be left alone to continue to deceive millions.
Tour guides? ok.
Wow, that there is clear evidence of Satan doing his work. How can people believe that utter evil filth.
If Joseph had other children, then why weren't they WITH him and Mary on the trip to Bethlehem for the mandated census? Seeing as Jesus was the eldest son and NONE of his younger brothers were there at His crucifixion, it was only right that He entrusted the care of His mother to the ONLY Apostle there, John. His brothers James and Jude eventually came to saving faith in Jesus as Messiah. They were younger than Him, not older, which would show that they were NOT children of Joseph from before his marriage to Mary.
What's the big deal about Mary having a normal marriage and children with her husband? It had NOTHING to do with the virgin birth of the incarnation since Jesus was the firstborn son of Mary and Joseph. Placing her on a pedestal as an icon to perpetual virginity doesn't honor her or Christ.
How does discussing doctrines and dogmas tied to Christianity automatically make them “anti-Catholic” or disdaining of Mary? Do Catholics have such thin skin that they cannot defend their church’s teachings without attributing ulterior motives and persecution to those who disagree? I’d suggest staying OFF of open RF threads if that is the case.
Your rant is tacky, sophomoric at best.
Mary and Joseph were not your typical married couple.
Larry, that was beneath you. Ask the mod to pull that insult to the Mother of Jesus. She is not the object of humor for you to insult ... you ain’t Don Rickles.
I think the poster was insulting her worshipers.
Then that makes Mary divinity.....
The ratioalizations just don’t stop.
So,what’s the big issue about Mary and Joseph having sex like any normal married couple and being blessed with children as a result?
What’s so wrong with that that it just pushes Catholics over the edge to think they had a reasonably normal life?
How do you know what their life was like outside what is recorded in Scripture?
“Mary is not a deity. She is not a goddess.”
Nah, she’s just the mother of God, that’s all.
Wow,it is amazing just how many Gnostics there are here.
And that any part of Mary’s haploid cell could be half of the cells of Jesus’ body only if they were as pure as Eve’s, before The Fall, thus free of original sin and destined to live for ever.
I’ll just link to a good explanation. And it has a link regarding Lazarus and the rich man as well.
Do you still cling to YOUR mother?
Do YOU do every thing that she tells (told) you?
that’s why Protestants will always be a half-step away from God (until they meet Her [the other half], His chosen Mother for His Sweet Baby Son, Jesus).
Are you saying Salvation is not possible without Mary?
What a cruel thing to say about step-brothers; that they, for what ever reason, would NOT care for their mom; too.
You'd think, during one of her MANY visits to Earth; she'd let SOMEONE know!
Any of you future Portuguese type children out there that may be listening: Ask Mary this question...
...for apparently all this praying of the rosary that she wanted is not having much effect.
