I agree that no one can fully understand the makeup of Almighty God. But Scripture reveals enough for us to understand that Jesus is God, whole and entire, and because of this, Mary as the mother of Jesus is the mother of God, whole and entire.

That makes her diety whole and entire and reduces God to a created being....

Considering how "poorly catechized" FRoman Catholic elitists claim that everyone but them is, that is hardly a surprise.

We do know that the Roman Catholic officially approved Catechist Eucharista seemed to be rather poorly catechized.

Rest his/her soul.

You're welcome.

As for beautifully...? eh, that may be a bit too much.

I'm just glad it was understandable, by at least somebody...

Sometimes I'm not clear enough.

Occasionally, I do think that there are those around here either like to play dumb or else need to.

Any excuse to not *see* will do as long as all must bow to whomever it would be who would make themselves to be our rulers & kings.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.

But the Father is not the Son; neither is the Holy Spirit the Son. It is with this understanding of Jesus as God, whole and entire, that Mary is the mother of Jesus, God (whole and entire) with us.

Which one will be seen in heaven, just one of them or all three???

The god of the Muslims is not a triune God..He does not have a Son that is a part of that Trinity ..that died to save

Just like the god of the mormons and just like the god of the JWs he is a FALSE god

This is the essence of sun god worship (which Hislop proved catholicism to be over 160 years ago)

Nimrod, a mortal man, becomes a god, his harlot wife Easter/Semiramis becomes a god too, by giving birth to Nimrod reincarnated as Tammuz/Mithras.

It is the cross of Mithras that the catholics make across their hearts (Winter solstice, Summer solstice, Vernal equinox, Autumnal equinox)

Tammuz gets slain by a wild boar in his 40th year, which is celebrated as Lent, the 40 days of weeping for Tammuz.

That typo brought to mind the words "sarong".

Which by way of a this-with-that sort of loose association (mental images, in light of concepts being discussed) brought further to mind;

That is a most excellent question!

It thoroughly exposes the failure of the man made Trinity model.

There is no mention of the Holy Spirit once Yeshua is together with his elect. The need for his comforter vanishes. The Holy Spirit is the spirit of Yeshua.

There is only one God of Abraham, and He is worshipped in error by both Jews and Moslems as they fall short of recognizing His Revelation yet both cling to their faith, knowing, at least, that there is only one God, the God of Abraham, who sent His prophets to the children of Israel. Both reject Jesus as the Son of God and God the Son, although this does not seem to be your stumbling block, or is it ?

The God of Abraham was/is a Trinity...That was revealed to Gentiles 2000 years ago, long before the muzlimites existed...If they do not accept Jesus as God, they are not worshiping the God of Abraham...That makes the God of Abraham a god...

The best that can be said is they worship their false perception of the God of Abraham...

But with what you are saying, Catholics worship the same God as the Jehovah Witnesses and Mormons...And New Agers if you want to get right down to it...

That’s been tried before.

Jim did ban the man that put The Two Babylons up on his website, but for a different reason.

Be consistent in your reasoning. Transpose Muslims with Jews and try out your theology and you should see why your language is erroneous. It would be better worded as Islam does not believe God is triune; neither does Judaism, Mormonism, JWitnesses, Oneness Pentecostalism, etc. All these religions profess to believe in one God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

That’s a pretty picture.

And while we’re having open forum train-of-thought, this photo refreshed my memory regarding the similarity of dress of Catholic nuns and Muslim women.

Which brought to mind Francis the talking pope kissing the Quran.

Which made me wonder who the idols raised in the garden represent.

I thought that was JPII who was photographed koran-kissing.

Don't tell me Bergoglio did too?

Well, no one here has been saying that. You may have understood someone's post to mean that but, in that also, you would be mistaken.

See post 758
