Thanks for proving my point. You’ll probably do it again too.

When I pray the rosary later - I won’t be posting online at that time because I’ll actually be doing what I said I would be doing - I’ll pray for you.

[ealgeone]

Praying to Mary who cannot hear you and cannot answer your prayer. Good luck with that.

[ealgeone]

So now Protestants are right? Love the selectivity.

[Romulus]

I know what an abbreviation is. I’m asking what these books are and why I should care. Tell me. Tell me how you know.

[ealgeone]

For the last time....I’ve answered your questions. You’ve yet to answer mine.

[Romulus]

You’ve answered nothing. You’ve got nothing. Zip.

Can you even tell me why you’re a Christian? Because you read it in a book?

“When I pray the rosary later - I won’t be posting online at that time because I’ll actually be doing what I said I would be doing - I’ll pray for you.”

First, thank you for praying.

Second, I will fulfill the Biblical command about prayer:

“pray without ceasing;”

Best

I Thessalonians 5:17

[xone]

No direct or categorical and stringent proof of the dogma can be brought forward from Scripture.

Was there ever any doubt about this? Completely out of whole cloth.

A good response to what might be the silliest argument I have ever seen raised on FR.

[Romulus]

You missed where he explained that the bible is and can be the sole source of Christian truth. You might want to ask about this.

[BipolarBob]

I’m asking what these books are and why I should care.

From your attitude, you shouldn't care. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned. Just carry on doing what you are doing.

[xone]

Your argument has a salvation component to it. All knowledge for salvation is in John’s Gospel. It says it is so. So if you put forth another salvation requirement, Marian doctrines, you operate outside of scripture and preach a different gospel than the Bible does. Even angels doing so are accursed. Gal 1:8. So that goes for non-angels as well.

[kinsman redeemer]

Your a nice fella but you're making one mistake after another. That's a bad pattern.

You claimed, "You clearly can’t make an actual argument about the issue. And that’s not a claim either."

Whether I can or can't "make an argument" doesn't alter your history of making claims.

claim

noun

: a statement saying that something happened a certain way or will happen a certain way : a statement saying that something is true when some people may say it is not true

: an official request for something (such as money) that is owed to you or that you believe is owed to you

: a right to have something

Full Definition of CLAIM

1 : a demand for something due or believed to be due claim>

2 a : a right to something; specifically : a title to a debt, privilege, or other thing in the possession of another
b : an assertion open to challenge claim of authenticity>

3 : something that is claimed; especially : a tract of land staked out

Also, I don't need to prove that Mary was a sinner. YOU need to prove that she wasn't and that "All have sinned..." doesn't include her. The same is true for all of your claims.

"Prove it." So far, you haven't. You'll need to make a better case.

I am weary of your pattern of failure.

“Praying to Mary who cannot hear you and cannot answer your prayer. Good luck with that.”

Not good luck, simply grace. Mary, through Jesus’ grace and generosity, can do anything that is in accordance with His plans. It’s a shame your view of God is so small. Maybe you should read this: http://www.amazon.com/Your-God-Is-Too-Small/dp/0684846969 And then this: http://www.amazon.com/Protestant-Pastor-Looks-Mary/dp/0879737271/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1439934258&sr=1-1&keywords=protestant+pastor+looks+at+mary It’s better than being ignorant.

[ealgeone]

John 3:16

Can you tell what you believe?

[Romulus]

Try me. Tell me why I should care. Got an answer better than “Well, because, duh”?

[ealgeone]

Of which we have zero proof in the Word. You might read against the injunctions about praying to idols. It’s in the New Testamemt. It’s better than being an idolaters.

[Romulus]

Where does that leave the Christians who were always “outside of Scripture”?

How do you know Scripture is important?

[BipolarBob]

Try me. Tell me why I should care.

It is the Word of God. If you don't care what God thinks or says, then I guess you shouldn't worry about it.

[Romulus]

Even angels doing so are accursed.

For doing what? For departing from Scripture? I don't think so.
