You might want to check that with a few Messianic Jews.

Actually, YOU might want to check that with a few Messianic Jews!

If you do not comprehend the shocking revelation of the Doctrine of The Incarnation, you are woefully untutored in your theology.

...therefore we can get away with breaking the rules of God.

Rules according to whom? Who is this divine arbiter you seem to be referring to?

Eternal is infinite!

"Eternal has a relationship to time: 1. without beginning or end; lasting forever; always existing (opposed to temporal ): eternal life. 2. perpetual; ceaseless; endless: eternal quarreling; eternal chatter. 3. enduring; immutable: eternal principles. 4. Metaphysics. existing outside all relations of time; not subject to change.

On the other hand infinite has a relation ship to space: 1. immeasurably great: an infinite capacity for forgiveness. 2. indefinitely or exceedingly great: infinite sums of money. 3. unlimited or unmeasurable in extent of space, etc.: the infinite nature of outer space. 4. unbounded or unlimited; boundless; endless:

Whoa there....

Respect for women BEGINS with respect for the Mother of Jesus; hence God. Men who love Mary, are the most chivalrous men in the world. Because they protect Our Lady and stand by her always, they will also protect and stand with their wives, sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, and all others as well... A guy who can't stand up for the Mother of God is useless to fight any serious battles.

Google the term. Stop representing things that way.

I'm asking you to explain yourself and your charge.

I have no interest in traditional excuses.

Is Johnathan Cahn a Messianic Jew? Did Jesus say that the volume of the Book was about Him? (Heb 10:7)

Nope, some have problems accepting.

So it would seem....

My King does not dictate to His family...

Then why do his "children?"

Have you asked Johnathan Cahn about the doctrine of the Incarnation?

Emmanuel = God with us. Where does that name come from, again?

Aren't you familiar with Satan's war on your life?

By God, I certainly am. It is 27/7.

If you live in a world where it isn't...you are the lucky one.

What are you?

You are a liar or...

"Replace" is your contrivance, not ours. The only reason I can think of for that sleigh-of-hand is to justify (at least in the mind of the one doing it) an aggressive posture.

Your pope says otherwise.

Pope John Paul II on Mary....

He went on to explain the meaning of the Marian titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress and Mediatrix.

http://www.ewtn.com/library/PAPALDOC/JP2MARY1.HTM

NO WHERE in the Word is Mary ever accorded these roles.

We do see the Holy Spirit as Advocate (1 John 2:1) and Helper (John 14:16; 14:26; 15:26; 16:7).

The Greek word used to describe the Holy Spirit is Parakletos conveying the meaning of advocate, comforter, helper.

The Holy Spirit is also noted to "make intercession" for us.

It's amazing the number of times we see roman catholics turn to Mary for help instead of relying upon the Spirit who Christ has clearly given us to be our Helper.

another source did say you could have an infinite amount of time. So yes technically the point was correct and did make sense, but my engineering background comes out every now and then and I can't help myself. My apologies if I was overly/obnoxiously precise.

Actually it starts with Honor thy father and mother.

Catholics instinctively run to Mary instead of relying upon the Word for their answers.

You are avoiding the question, and my point. The Doctrine of The Incarnation is one of the classic special revelations of the Christian faith, only hinted at in the OT.

Nevertheless, if you are determined to abide in parochialism, I sure can't force you out of it.

Please provide a more concise reference. The address you provided does not work for me.

That's what YOU think and thousands of other NCCs who know nothing of the daily life of a Catholic. Follow one around who attends daily Mass, recites the rosary, adores the Blessed Sacrament; you will be surprised at how little you know.
