The Church doesn't teach she is divine. She is a creature.

Why should God judge me when you already have?

One doesn't worship the blessed. One worships the Blessor.

Mark 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.

Mark 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?

Mark 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

Luke 11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

These are the words of Jesus. What other interpretation can one assign to them?

Gender gap? Come on, you’re smart enough to answer.

I don't jump through hoops nor let myself be manipulated.

The Bible also sets up the authority of the Church in all theological aspects and instructs us to forego private interpretation.

Not true at all if by church you mean Rome. Round and round we go.

You’re not being manipulated at all. It’s a very simple question. Which child should I love more? The one who drew to the best of her ability or the one who spent big bucks for the great card?

Don’t you see? You’re proving the article to be true.

I don’t mean Rome.

I mean the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I’m not going round and round. As I said previously, splitters and quitters don’t get to make the rules.

If you want to discuss anything with me you won't reduce yourself to name calling.

A self-described Christian has some rather definite choices.

1. One can accept the authority of the One Jesus-created Church
2. One can accept the authority of a man-made Church.
3. One can believe that he has the full authority that was given to the Church by Jesus.

Picking #2 or #3 indicates an individual has left the Church. Leaving the Church means that one absolutely has no authority over anything delegated to Her.

Is the wording more to your taste? The same idea is contained in both posts.

Yes I know you like your denomination the best and you have bought into all of it’s party lines. I reject them as unscriptural.

1. in a measure; to a certain extent; somewhat: rather good.
2. in some degree: I rather thought you would regret it.
3. more properly or justly; with better reason: The contrary is rather to be supposed.

I can't believe I had to post from the dictionary for you to understand the use of this word.

Hmmmm, I posted from a dictionary in 591.

So, you just disregard the top two definitions because the third fits what you need?

Hey and how about that question about my children?
Which should I love more?

You can't be serious. I can't comment further without getting personal.

It is a real question.
It has a question mark at the end and qualifies a querie.

Which child should I love more?

No hoops, simple question.

The child who did her best to draw circles and scratches or the one who spent her life savings buying a great card?
