"Loose talk? LOL. I'm not the one falling down to the stock of a tree."

Dr.E, do you believe that Arian and/or Nestorian Christology is heretical? Do you know what Arian and/or Nestorian Christology is? Now, as for a belief in Mary's sinlessness, you seem to have a problem answering a simple question posed sometime back. Do you say that belief is blasphemy because of a problem with the Latin dogma of the Immaculate Conseption or simply because you, personally and individually pursuant to a singular revelation from the Holy Spirit, believe it to be so? Simple question, Dr.E. You tell us you preach to others; it shouldn't be too hard for you to frame an answer.

As for your Arianism or Nestorianism, as I said earlier, your comments on the nature of the Incarnate Word and His Mother, the Theotokos, not the Christokos or so The Church has dogmatized because that is the Truth, were the first clear heresy I've read from you...and it is very clear heresy. That surprised me which is why I tried to give you an out with my suggestion that perhaps it was just loose talk. Was it, or are you a heretic, even among most Protestants?

The loose talk is all on your side, K. To equate a belief that Mary was not a supernatural being, but a woman graced by God to give birth to Jesus Christ as told in Scripture to the heresy that demotes the Son in the Trinity is ludicrous, and simply shows you cannot defend your determination to fall down to the stock of a tree without making insipid accusations.

Where in the Bible does it say we are not supposed to pray to a package of cheese? Where in the Bible does it say we are not supposed to draw pictures of elephants and venerate them? Where in the Bible does it say we are not to commemorate garlic and bananas as part of the Lord's Supper?

Your extra-Biblical leaps and bounds are no less fanciful. I guess we can chalk it up to more unknowable mysticism.
