If someone attacked your mother, would you be upset? Would you protest? I’m sure you would.
Well, the Mother of God is grossly insulted by the University of Virginia’s student newspaper, The Cavalier Daily, which printed a Nativity-like cartoon of Our Lady holding the Infant Jesus beside Saint Joseph on August 24.
The figure depicting Saint Joseph says: "Mary…I don't mean to ruin this special moment, but how did you get that bumpy rash?” suggesting a sexually transmitted disease. To which a Mary-figure says, “I swear, it was Immaculately Transmitted.”
This is outrageous public blasphemy! Click here to protest now.

I'm sorry you use words like "dead forever" without considering their meanings.

You don't believe the book I base my faith on.
No, I don't know what book you are even talking about because no translation of the Bible that I've ever seen mentions Mary having any children other than Jesus.
I don't think even many Protestants would agree with that one.
"He resurrected with a body of flesh and bones, but not blood.
Where did you get the idea that Jesus has a body without blood?"
"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." - Luke 24:39
Bone produced blood. Flesh requires blood or it will rot. Why you would even argue that Jesus had no blood is laughable. What is the point of that? Jesus has a new body but didn't bother to fill it with blood? Why? That would not fulfill the promise of arising from the dead. Just because Jesus shed his blood at Calvary doesn't mean that he was bloodless in his arisen body.
While this may be true of SOME Anglicans, traditional Lutherans believe exactly the same things about Mary that Martin Luther did.
It's like they think Jesus is finite.

And the Bible is quite clear in describing God as infinite.
Funny, I had always believed that Christ made a new covenant.
Heavenly bodies must bloat terribly...
That doesn't make the Old Testament untruthful.
SD
No, but Protestants have long used Old Testament laws about consuming blood to negage Transubstantiation.
I know that, but could argue my way out of that one. ;-)
The point is the Bible identifies blood with life. The idea of a bloodless Risen Savior is comical.

The Torah and the Bible are a seemless recording of salvation history.
Dear Muslim Friends,
Your religion teaches that Mary is a revered figure. After all, hen you are "witnessing to Christians", you repeatedly bring up the idea that Mary and Jesus are both revered as a mother of prophet and a prophet in Islam.
So where's the outrage? Why isn't the UVa Muslim student association out in the streets demonstrating? Why aren't Imams issuing fatwas against the editor of this college paper?
Just some food for thought.
It seems that some believe that our Savior is "dead forever." Some of the stuff on this thread goes way beyond heresy, it has entered the realm of the bizarre.
Yeah I know, I was just giving him a hard time.
I know that from your other posts... I was just making the point for lurkers... God bless you.
"It's like they think Jesus is finite. "
I think it is a life of too many mind altering drugs.
They can't seem to grasp the concept that Jesus had to return in human form in order to fulfill scripture. To return in a spiritual form only proves that Jesus died. And to return in some bizzaro bloodless zombie form is just ridiculous.
Oh! well... I don't believe in Protestants (they seem to be protesting nothing) or Roman Catholics because they are NOT Universal..
