[ealgeone]

Quacks too!

[Elsie]

The things we ask of Mary depend entirely on her receiving them from Christ to share with us.

Why waste time going thru the Executive Secretary?

Go straight to the BOSS!!

[ealgeone]

Whoa...let's back up to post 168. What are your answers to those questions?

I've answered yours on veneration.

Your turn.

[Elsie]

To properly understand what the writers of the Word had in mind we have to draw upon the Greek

Translation: Translators are stupid.

[Elsie]

I suggest you do a search here to get your answers.

Lurkers will...

[Elsie]

OH oh!

Mary got left out here!

[Elsie]

The words bind and loose mean:

Thanks for telling what Rome has decided.

[Elsie]

Reconciliation with the Church is inseparable from reconciliation with God.

BLASPHEMY!

[Elsie]

Reconciliation with the Church is inseparable from reconciliation with God. (CCC 1445)

 

 

The tale of two homepages...

 

 

“(w)hoever lives in peace with God, whoever lets himself be reconciled with Him, finds also peace with himself, with his neighbor and the creation that surrounds him. Faith helps (a person) to live, faith gives joy, faith is a great gift: this is the deepest conviction of Pope Benedict,”

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 Corinthians 5:17-20
17. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
18. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
19. that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
20. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.

We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God.

 

 

Church is not mentioned in either!

[Elsie]

You miss the point completely.

That IS the point!

[Elsie]

Painting with a pretty broad brush there.

I've learned well.

I've had at least 30,000 lessons.

[Elsie]

I don’t mind your humorous jabs, some are quite funny.

Only SOME?!?!

You make kitty cry!

[Elsie]

Hmm, something about someone holding keys, and opening and closing...

Yeah?

So??

Just WHO is the 'he'?

[Elsie]

Are you doing anything that IS prohibited in the Word?

You Hateful, BIGOTED Prot!!!

Just can NOT leave that "call no man Father" alone; can you!!??!!

Catholic_Wannabe_Dude(Hail Mary; save us from these pesky Prots!!!)

[kosciusko51]

Not “Rocky”

[rwa265]

here’s something that’s sure to bring a smile.

Hail Mary, full of grapes.

That’s what my sister thought the words were when she was first learning the prayer as a child.

[Mrs. Don-o]

No, I’m not.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

Most Holy and Adorable Trinity, one God in three Persons, I firmly believe that You are here present; I adore you with the most profound humility; I praise you and give you thanks with all my heart for the favors you have bestowed on me. Your Goodness has brought me safely to the beginning of this day. Behold, O Lord, I offer You my whole being and in particular all my thoughts, words, and actions, together with such crosses and contradictions as I may meet with in the course of this day. Give them, O Lord, Your blessing; may Your divine Love animate them and may they tend to the greater honor and glory of Your Sovereign Majesty. Amen

I like that better than my usual morning offering. Thank you

On the other hand, he adds, "that those who do not serve Mary will not be saved; for those who are deprived of the help of this great Mother are also deprived of that of Her Son and of the whole court of heaven.

I guess THIS St. John forgot to mention this to the other one???

[boatbums]

We non-Catholics 'observe' an awful lot of time wasted with Mary, when you could be dealing DIRECTLY with GOD.

'Cuz God's busy and Jesus is in a bad mood sometime so going to his Mom sounds like a good idea??? ;o)
