    (Matthew 23:4-12 [KJV])
    For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

    IFB, RCC, makes not much difference on the outside, just the inside counts if one is saved or not.

    So glad I got saved and left religion for Jesus Christ, who will never leave me nor forsake me. I hate religion. Too evil.

    Legalism makes people avoid IFBs a lot. I went to an IFB college, suits, ties.

    Outward appearance is a joke, and I refuse to participate in it. Clean enough street clothes is all one needs.

    Smelly, fishy tunics is what Jesus, Peter, James, John wore. The Pharisees and Sadducees wore the fancy garb, broad phylacteries for show. The inside, like the “priests”, “bishops”, “cardinals”, “nuns” (temple prostitutes) and the “popes”, especially with the Dagon fish god hat are all dead inside, look fantastic on the outside.

    My denominations are ones, fives, tens, twenties, etc.

    (John 3:3 [KJV])
    Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

    Cheers.

    Wikipedia. LOL Never mind.

    wikipedia which says that there are not just two genders, that Biden won the election, that the Clinton Arkancide list is fake, the Hunter Biden laptop is “right wing propaganda”, Trump is not innocent until proven guilty, the jab is harmless, safe and effective, masks and social distancing work, no mass deaths from the clot shot, shall I go on? No because we are done and you cannot process information.

    Next you will claim FB and Snopes also verify this.
    VERY Honest and reliable people. Just like my cat. And I have no cat.
    Like having a battle of wits with an unarmed person. Give it up. How to not think. Let’s see...........become a poper! Sniff.................what’s that? Oh, desperation!

    God’s Word is THE FINAL AUTHORITY, not Wikipedia, last and least of all the R.C.C.
    So no, no proof. Zero. Oh, I am not a Protestant. I am a Christian. But again, nice try.

    (Titus 3:10 [KJV])
    A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;

    You are rejected. We are done. Bye.

    Get saved, know Jesus.

    btw that is false. Nice try, less filling.

    (Romans 16:3-16 [KJV]) 57 A.D., Paul
    Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord.
    Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus’ household. Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord.Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord.
    Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.

    Nope. That is what is called a claim of the R.C.C., not truth, not fact. If peter was in Rome as “pope” Paul would have addressed him, among many, many other reasons.

    Catholic myth. Of course the entire pagan religion IS a R.C.C. myth. Empty claim. Claims are for insurance adjusters. not Christians. Without evidence, it is garbage.
    Like Mary being the mother of God. God is the I AM, and does not have am other. Sorry. Pagan myths die hard, like those who oppose them at the hands of the pagans

    Imagine Paul greeting every other person but “the pope”. You will not read it, but I no longer care. Christ is the head of the church, not the “pope”, nor was Peter. Peter never even mentions Rome in his epistles, imagine that! The “pope” Peter!

    The Bible would never, ever, ever left out such a detail if it were true. So no, claims are never evidence.

    If you have a verse from the Word of God (you do not), bring it. Leave the myths to the pagans. Not interested, thanks.

    (2 Peter 1:20 [KJV])
    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

    This is what people do daily in America. They do not READ the Word, they READ INTO it, according to what others tell them it means, says.

    Which is irrelevant completely. What one THINKS is meaningless.
    Everyone can have their own ideas. No one can have their own truth, only God’s truth. Sufficient for all.
    We should not allow people to destroy other people’s faith, deceive them freely, help them destroy marriages, families, let them help the sheeple to a forever separated future eternity in hell by simply ignoring the heretics, which is basically worse than nothing-it is destructive.

    After we expose, warn, admonish, reprove, exhort, etc. THEN we move on.

    Even the dictionary corrects you, not just His Word that you deliberately ignore. Here is dictionary for you to ignore also, then some of God’s Word for you to ignore also.

    ******************
    10. A sacramental symbol of the blood of Christ.
    This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for the remission of sins. Mat 26.
    11. The death and sufferings of Christ.
    Being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 5:3.
    *******************************

    BLOOD, n.
    1. The fluid which circulates through the arteries and veins of the human body, and of other animals,which is essential to the preservation of life. This fluid is generally red. If the blood of an animal is not red, such animal is called exsanguious, or white-blooded; the blood being white, or white tinged with blue.
    2. Kindred; relation by natural descent from a common ancestor; consanguinity.
    God hath made of one blood, all nations of the earth. Acts 17.
    3. Royal lineage; blood royal; as a prince of the blood.
    4. Honorable birth; high extraction; as a gentleman of blood.
    5. Life.
    Shall I not require his blood at your hands? 2 Sam 4.
    6. Slaughter; murder, or bloodshedding.
    I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu. Hosea 1.
    The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth to me from the ground. Gen 4.
    7. Guilt, and punishment.
    Your blood be upon your own heads. Acts 18.
    8. Fleshly nature;; the carnal part of man; as opposed to spiritual nature,or divine life.
    Who were born, not of flesh and blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1.
    9. Man, or human wisdom, or reason.
    Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee,but my Father who is in heaven. Mat 16.
    10. A sacramental symbol of the blood of Christ.
    This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for the remission of sins. Mat 26.
    11. The death and sufferings of Christ.
    Being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rom 5:3.
    12. The price of blood; that which is obtained by shedding blood,and seizing goods.
    Wo to him that buildeth a town with blood. Hab 2. Acts 1.
    13. Temper of mind; state of the passions; but in this sense, accompanied with cold or warm, or other qualifying word. Thus to commit an act in cold blood, is to do it deliberately, and without sudden passion. Warm blood denotes a temper inflamed or irritated; to warm or head the blood, is to excite the passions.
    14. A hot spark; a man of fire or spirit; a rake.
    15. The juice of any thing, especially if red; as, “the blood of grapes.” Gen 49.
    Whole blood. In law, a kinsman of the whole blood is one who descends from the same couple of ancestors; of the half blood, one who descends from either of them singly, by a second marriage.
    BLOOD, v.t. To let blood; to bleed by opening a vein.
    1. To stain with blood.
    2. To enter; to inure to blood; as a hound.
    3. To heat the blood; to exasperate. [Unusual.]

    (Proverbs 18:13 [KJV])
    He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.

    (Proverbs 18:17 [KJV])
    He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.

    (Proverbs 26:4 [KJV])
    Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.

    (Proverbs 26:5 [KJV])
    Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

    (Proverbs 26:4, [KJV])
    Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.

    So my last answer to this was COMPLETELY ignored. Wow. drop the heresy.............I ill drop “the heretick stuff”.

    You and a piece of work. An an insult to us who read the Word. Both you and Macarthur are rank hereticks, and both deny it, do not read His Word and Words.

    (Matthew 15:14 [KJV])
    Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

    Fools follow fools........into the ditch.

    We should never listen nor respond to fools like you. Of course, that does not stop most sheeple. They ignore the Word, the ignore wanrings about it.

    But they love those Webster’s............above God’s Word.

    (Psalms 138:2 [KJV])
    I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.

    Apparently God’s Name is Ok to blaspheme?

    (Exodus 20:7 [KJV])
    Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

    His Word is above His Name. His Word is above your “dictionary”. His Word is above Macarthur, you, me, everyone else.

    To me. Not to you. Macarthur is first, the dictionary is second, your opinion third..........maybe later, God’s Word.

    When you do not like the message.............kill the messenger.

    So unable to refute, they threaten with banishment. Everyone religious..........."except those who refute false cults". Those? We banish. RCCers constantly here and in every place on earth write all sorts of lies against and bash real Christians, even here, unstopped, daily in fact. You refute them? You are gone. Badge of honor, thanks. Keep your threats. You have a real Judge to stand in front of, with a banishment unspeakable, except you repent and believe in the LORD Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 4:10 [KJV])
    We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.

    (1 Corinthians 4:11-13 [KJV]) Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. How 'bout.............I do not care? Yeah, that's it. His, Bobby Z.

    Wrong Mary. Not the one from God’s Word. She said so.

    https://christs-disciples.org/rccism.php

    __________________________
    God does not have a mother, and this is blatant blasphemy, rank heresy, as God is eternal and created all things, including Mary. Mary was the mother of Jesus Christ the man only, and the one who merely carried Him in her womb is all, as a vessel. She died like any other person. She is not even recorded at His Crucifixion, Resurrection!
    (Genesis 1:1)
    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
    (Exodus 3:14)
    And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
    (Psalms 41:13)
    Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
    (Psalms 93:2)
    Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
    (Micah 5:2)
    But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
    (Habakkuk 1:12)
    Art thou not from everlasting, O LORD my God, mine Holy One? we shall not die. O LORD, thou hast ordained them for judgment; and, O mighty God, thou hast established them for correction.
    (Luke 1:47-48)
    And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
    From a friend: “Mary was indeed a vessel used by the Creator. The phrase “full of grace” is used twice in the Bible. Once to describe Jesus, and the other to describe Stephen. But Mary is never described as “full of grace” in scripture, nor does it mean “sinless.”
    Only sinners need a Savior. Mary needed a Savior.
    All are sinners. She had a Saviour, just like us. She said so. (Luke 1:46-48) And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. (John 2:4) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. Her command to us then as now is, “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” Whatsoever Jesus my Son saith unto you, do it, Not what I say, what He says. (Romans 3:23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (Luke 1:40)
    And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
    (Luke 1:41)
    And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
    (Luke 1:42)
    And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
    (Luke 1:43-49)
    And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

    And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.
    Mary was blessed, just like all believers are blessed, and being blessed is not “being the LORD”
    She was blessed for believing in the LORD Jesus Christ, just like all believers are blessed, and being blessed is not “being the LORD”
    Mary’s soul magnified THE LORD, not herself, and therefore she cannot be the LORD
    God is Mary’s Saviour, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    Mary was not from everlasting, eternity, she was created, born into this world, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    She was in a lowly estate, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    She called the LORD mighty for doing great things, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    She said that the LORD was Holy, therefore she cannot be the LORD
    The End of the Catholic “Mary Mother of God”
    (Revelation 18:1)
    And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
    (Revelation 18:2)
    And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
    (Revelation 18:3)
    For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
    (Revelation 18:4)
    And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
    (Revelation 18:5)
    For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
    (Revelation 18:6)
    Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
    (Revelation 18:7)
    How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
    (Revelation 18:8)
    Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
    (Revelation 18:9)
    And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
    (Revelation 18:10)
    Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come.
    (Revelation 18:11)
    And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:
    (Revelation 18:12)
    The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,
    (Revelation 18:13)
    And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.
    (Revelation 18:14)
    And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all.
    (Revelation 18:15)
    The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,
    (Revelation 18:16)
    And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!
    (Revelation 18:17)
    For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,
    (Revelation 18:18)
    And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!
    (Revelation 18:19)
    And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate.
    (Revelation 18:20)
    Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God hath avenged you on her.
    (Revelation 18:21)
    And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.
    (Revelation 18:22)
    And the voice of harpers, and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a millstone shall be heard no more at all in thee;
    (Revelation 18:23)
    And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived.
    (Revelation 18:24)
    And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.
    Roman Catholic Claim
    Mary was/is a perpetual virgin
    (Genesis 3:1) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. When you cannot substantiate your belief from God’s Word, you have your own interpretation, your own religion and, in your case, your own cult.
    The serpent: “yea, hath God said that Mary was a virgin who later had other children?”
    The Catholic Church “yea, God hath said that Mary had other children, but the popes and my Holy Mother Church say no, so I must believe them”
    “The Bible never said Mary had other children, because God knew that one day the R.C.C. would come, and whatever we say you must live by, because we are above Scripture and will tell you what it means, and you need that”
    So the whole entire R.C.C believed all that the popes said on every doctrine...
    “HAIL MARY”
    Hail Mary,
    Full of Grace,
    The Lord is with thee.
    Blessed art thou among women,
    and blessed is the fruit
    of thy womb, Jesus.
    Holy Mary,
    Mother of God,
    pray for us sinners now,
    and at the hour of death.
    Amen.
    (Matthew 6:7)
    But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
    (Matthew 6:8)
    Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
    (Luke 1:28-33)
    And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
    To “Hail” means to greet (a salutation) or to wish one good health
    “Full of Grace” is anyone saved, getting grace through Jesus Christ ONLY
    “The LORD is with thee”........the LORD is with me also, so? God was and is with so many in Scripture from Genesis on
    Blessed art thou among women...any woman saved is blessed, she was merely more blessed because she was a vessel to give birth to a man who is the Messiah. Leah and Rachel were blessed by having the twelve tribes of Israel, on earth still today
    and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus......yes He is blessed and the One who blesses us!
    “Holy Mary” is not in the text and we are declared holy ONLY be believing ONLY in Jesus Christ, not Mary. This is blasphemy and heresy of the worst sort.
    “Mother of God”..............God is eternal and has no mother. Mary was the mother of the man Jesus, not Jesus, Creator of the universe (and the creator of Mary)
    Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death........she cannot pray for us, as she is not our mediatrix or mediator, only Jesus Christ is

    Mary: Virgin only until Jesus born, had other children
    (Matthew 1:25)
    And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.
    (Matthew 12:46-47)
    While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him. Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
    (Mark 6:3)
    Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
    (Mark 3:31-32)
    There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
    (Luke 8:20)
    And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.
    (Acts 1:14)
    These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
    (Galatians 1:19)
    But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
    Roman Catholic Claim
    Mary is a Co-Mediatrix and has a hand in salvation
    “To think Mary is the “Spouse of the Holy Spirit,” “Queen of Heaven” and “co-Redemptrix” is akin to PAGANISM.”
    -John Lee

    Scripture/Christianity
    Mary was a sinner, earthly, and had nothing to do with salvation
    (John 14:6)
    Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    (John 2:4-5)
    Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
    (Galatians 3:19)
    Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
    (Galatians 3:20)
    Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
    (1 Timothy 2:5)
    For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
    (Hebrews 8:6)
    But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
    (Hebrews 9:15)
    And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.
    (Hebrews 12:24)
    And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
    (Acts 4:12)
    Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
    (Matthew 27:50)
    Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
    (Mark 15:38)
    And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.
    (Luke 23:45)
    And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
    The rending of the veil of the temple in two from top to bottom means that God was now not going to need, heed, listen to any representatives as mediators between Himself and His children, like He did in the Old Testament/old Covenant. This veil being torn in two means direct access by anyone saved to the throne of the Father via Jesus Christ only.

    Mary MORE important than the LORD Jesus Christ
    Scripture/Christianity
    Mary the Mother of Jesus is mentioned a whopping 26 times in the New Testament, whereas Peter a mere hundred sixty times, Jesus Christ Himself 946 times, 900 times more than Mary, and not all mentions of Mary refer to the same Mary.

    And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
    (Matthew 1:18)

    (Matthew 1:20)
    But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
    (Matthew 2:11)

    (Matthew 13:55)
    Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
    (Matthew 27:56)
    Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s children.
    (Matthew 28:1)
    In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
    (Mark 6:3)

    (Mark 15:40)
    There were also women looking on afar off: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome;
    (Mark 15:47)

    (Mark 16:1)
    And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

    (Luke 1:30)
    And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
    (Luke 1:34)
    Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
    (Luke 1:38)
    And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
    (Luke 1:39)
    And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda;
    (Luke 1:41)
    And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:
    (Luke 1:46)
    And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,
    (Luke 1:56)
    And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
    (Luke 2:5)
    To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
    (Luke 2:16)
    And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
    (Luke 2:19)
    But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
    (Luke 2:34)
    And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
    (Luke 24:10)
    It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
    (John 2:1)
    And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
    (John 2:3)
    And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
    (Luke 1:43)
    And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
    (John 19:25)
    Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.
    (Acts 1:14)
    These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
    (Luke 1:48)
    For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

    <> Nice. But.... God created mankind, who invented dictionaries. God create d Webster, Merriam or Noah. They did not create God, nor do they define Him. Christianity is based upon the death, burial, resurrection of JESUS Christ, not a single system of anything. Read THE WORD. It based upon believing in Jesus, not a system, institution https://christs-disciples.org/gospel.html A non-believer like yourself will never know these things. When you stand before God and He either says, (Matthew 25:21 [KJV]) His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. or (Matthew 7:23 [KJV]) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. He will not say, "Um, ya shoulda red Merriam Webster's dictionary about religion and practiced that!" To anyone. His, Bobby Z.

    Do you RCCers PRACTICE that (your ‘popes” do not), or just hypocritically preach it to Christians with your double standard??

    My sword cuts you also, both ways. Yours? Dull as a hoe.

    (Hebrews 4:12 [KJV])

    I never followed Calvin or Luther. I follow Jesus Christ. You follow “popes”, R.C.C. “priests” who are not priests of God.

    (Revelation 1:6 [KJV])
    And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

    Your “R.C.C. history of the Word of God” which is not the true one, is from the R.C.C., and false.

    Not knowing the history of the transmission of the text is your disease, not mine. So no, you have zero idea from the “poops” what books belong in God’s Word. You do not even know who preserved it.

    My Bible came from blood. CHRISTIAN blood of martyrs. Your “church” and “popes” spilled it to prevent mine from giving it to me. No one died for yours.

    They killed for it. Read carefully this post and Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. Oh, wait. You can’t. Your “poops” put it on the “Catholic Index of Forbidden Books”.

    I am never interested in “healing” if the R.C.C. thinks **I** am the one who left the Word of God. They want us to “return to the Mother Church”, not them to return to the Word of God they tried to destroy and failed.

    How about you tell THEM to abandon their cult? Paganism? World dominance?

    Instead of me? Want peace? Talk to them, not me. I merely educate people who want to hear. It sparks nerves because they are emotional, weak, apostate. UNTEACHABLE.

    <> The "hedonist dims" are working with the R.C.C., and in bed with Rome. Ever hear a SINGLE member of Congress, the Supreme Court, WH say anything against that cult? I trow now. Ever wonder why? Why they kiss the ring? Recognize the Vatican as a country? So no. The enemy is also Rome. Always was, ask the founding fathers, the reformers, the British, Germans, etc. who tried to escape her grasp. And the martyrs she killed so we could have the WORD of God, not the words of "popes". Wait, you can't. They are dead. Just curious.......when the RCC offocially speaks against, calls us names, tries to kill them in Catholic countries, God's Word and Christians, do you chastise them? I trow not. BTW, what did you gain? Sodomy in the K-12? Baby killing? Freedom to speak against the R.C.C. or any other cult? Your country is finished. Get over it. No revivals, no country.
