You gotta fix the spelling on that.

I saw it outa the corner of my eye, and my first thought was some Norse Goddess.

[Catholicguy]

Huh? To what are you referring?

[Catholicguy]

Oh, LOL. I just noticed. Sorry.

Reread the title of your posted article... Vrigin Mother of God

[xzins]

VRIGIN was the consort of Thor who aided him in the disputes with Loki. (Along with Jena, Warrior Princess.)

Dear Admin

Please change title to Virgin! ;^)

Who is snickering? Mary was human, she had other kids. Sex is not dirty. It is a gift from God to be unwrapped inside the santitiy of marriage.


You want to deny Mary and Joseph the joy of one of God's most awesome gifts, just so you can cling to your misunderstood gospel! You want to vilify a gift from God? How dare you!


I am saved through Christ! Not Mary, Rome, The Pope, The RC Church.

SOLA CHRISTUS!

"I firmly believe that Mary according to the words of the gosepl as a pure Virgin brought forth for us the son of God and in childbirth and after childbirth forever remaining a pure, intact Virgin." Ulrich Zwingli

"I esteem immensly the Mother of God, the ever chaste, immaculate Virgin Mary," Ulrich Zwingli

(Zwingli Opera. Corpus Reformatorum; Volume 6, page 639 and 424)

"It is an article of fiath that Mary is the Mother of the Lord and still a virgin." Martin Luther

"In this work whereby she was made the Mother of God, so many and such great good things were given her that no one can grasp them." Martin Luther

(Works of Luther, volume 11, page 319-320, volume 6, page 510, volume 7, page 572)

What gives you the impression that we believe differently?

[Gamecock]

Regarding which part of the comment?

[Gamecock]

Quote Scripture.

[Pyro7480]

This part:

I am saved through Christ! Not Mary, Rome, The Pope, The RC Church.

Redemption is through Jesus' Passion, Death, and Resurrection. That's what most Christians believe, including Catholics.

[Gamecock]

Well, in all seriousness, I'm glad we agree on that.

Some of your buds here don't seem to get that point.

[StAthanasiustheGreat]

Guess you should ask for Luther and Zwingli too, as well.

[Gamecock]

What they write that agree with scripture, I agree with, where they contradict scripture, well, you know the rest...

Xena, Warrior Princess...

[xzins]

Sorry, dude, I refuse to grant her an "X."

She's always been "Jennie" to me.

"X"zins

:>)

That is a good consistency and I admire that. However, I guess in there statements, and your beliefs I see a fundamental flaw in Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura ultimately leaves the duty of interpretation of scripture in the hands of every individual, the unfortunate result or fortunate depending on your perspective, is the case we are witnessing in the Episcopal Church. Frank "The Heretic" Griswold interprets the Levitical Laws concerning homosexuality one way (I would say incorrectly) while a more Orthodox Primate (say the one in Nigeria) interprets it another way (I would say correctly). But ultimately that leads to confusion, and I will quote a Freeper who commented about this, "God is not the author of confusion." So, I guess all I am saying, is that sometimes, Tradition is necessary to assist one in the interpretation of scripture. Scripture and Tradition together enhancing one another and strengthening the faith. I realize that that is probably the typical Catholci answer and does not put you at ease. Ultimately all I can say, is that there is truth outside of scripture, even scripture attests to that (Jn 21:25, Jn 20:30, I Corinthians 11:2, II Thessalionians 2:15 Acts 2:42). Ultimately, I don't see Catholic belief in the perpetual virginity of Mary as contradictary to scripture. Well that was a long-winded rambling answer, feel free to respond, and I'll reply when I get back from class and stuff this evening. God Bless
