...over 30,000 different denominations,...

Didn't you get the MEMO?

It's 50,000 or 80,000 now!

So this is the challenge: how can you tell which denomination has the fullness of truth?

Well; there is this statue in downtown Salt Lake City that proclaims having the Fullness of the Gospel.

Would THAT suffice?

But logically, only one denomination has the fullness of truth (for the Holy Spirit is not divided against itself).

You seem like a reasonable fella.

Perhaps YOU can explain how those 7 Catholic churches in Asia that John wrote about; who evidently HAD the 'fullness of truth'; went off the rails so very quickly?

Even the Muratorian Fragment attests to the inclusion of the book of Wisdom.

In for a penny; in for a pound.

1 and 2 Peter and James are not mentioned in the fragment.

To whom does Mary pray?

Nobody.

She is standing right next to Jesus; relaying prayers she RECEIVES at a super human speed.


Catholic teaching.

...but to clarify what the meaning of something she already possesses:

Oh?

#441 puts an 'interesting' light on the subject!

He wasn’t in Heaven in these instances; was He?

The Church teaches that she was assumed (taken up) to heaven "when the course of her earthly life was finished...

Just what WAS that 'course'?

She seems to have left NO tracks...

But because Mary is His Mother, He is so pleased to honor her.

And do everything she tells Him to do.

Catholic teaching.

If Mary says "Do whatever He tells you,"...

Strange how this has been twisted all around by the OTC to be...


HE'll do any thing I tell Him.

Formalization does not equal fabrication.

So you are trying to convince folks that this Mary stuff has been taught from day one by the One True Church?

she is the neck (!)

Oh?

I thought it is taught that she's the Holy Womb?

...He specifically commanded them to eat the lamb. (Exodus 12:8-10)

That the BLOOD had been THOROUGHLY drained from!

Such was the consternation of his disciples that all but the Apostles departed from His sight ...

It IS hard to overcome decades of 'church' teaching on a subject.

Did you even read the two links I submitted to you regarding the charge of cannibalism? You keep insisting that the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is a violation of the Mosaic Law against cannibalism.

Also, do you consider Ignatius of Antioch a “modern Catholic”?

I never heard of the title "Holy Womb" until just now when you used it.

Where did you learn that? Do they call Mary that in your church?

Not in mine.

Historically, it’s very simple to demonstrate that Mormonism is not what it claims to be. In like manner, it’s doctrines do not mesh seamlessly with the teaching of Scripture and the Apostolic Fathers (such as, for example, that God was once a man like us).

So no, a plaque on man-made statue is not sufficient.

Why do you assume temporal limits apply to those who are in Heaven? Is Heaven subject to the passage of time like us?

I didn't say "taught." I would say "believed" -- and not in its more developed form, but in a simpler or less defined way.

Just as the Apostles did not use the words "Incarnation" or "Trinity" nor make a verbal distinction between Christ's Person and His nature --- but knew, certainly after the Resurrection, that He is both "Lord" and "God" --- as Thomas said.
