Book on Mary turns runaway youngster immersed in drugs and crime into a priest

Visions of Jesus ^ | February 2004

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Not even the angels (who are perfect created beings) accept worship and council against it.

AMEN!

To me, praying to saints instead of going directly to God is like calling the Hawaii Fire Department when your house in Seattle is on fire.

lol. And then getting a bill from the Hawaii Fire Department. Insult to injury.

[Mrs. Don-o]

It’s poultry in motion.

[al_c]

Nothing to add, Mrs. D. You summed up my statement perfectly.

[Petronski]

A most fowl pun.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

"One who works to effect reconciliation."

If I had a nickel for all the Catholic websites and Catholic comments that say Mary helps in reconciling men to God I'd be rich.

[ArrogantBustard]

I spent five bucks and change on lunch.

Buck, buck, buck ...

I will continue to object to the disruption of the Catholic subject threads that are hijacked

I did not post this one, but I often post conversion stories because they are one way for us to celebrate Easter. See my list at #12. I make conversion threads ecumenical and not caucus intentionally, because they by definition refer to non-Catholics. I think, this thread is likewise intended as an open discussion. I don't think it is fair to accuse people of "hijacking" it.

Fingler’s Fickel Finger of Fate.

Sort of descibes Calvinism, doesn’t it?

[irishtenor]

***What you hold to be truth is nothing but demonic deception.***

Interesting statement, in that she posts scripture at every juncture. Her hold to the truth is that scripture is God’s word. Are you NOW saying her truth is demonic? If you believe that what she posts is demonic, I challenge you to prove it by scripture.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

How's this?

I am sorry your post was so confusing and questionable that most people reading it would infer you were referencing Jack Chick.

[Petronski]

That is not an apology.

Should I expect one from you or not?

[OpusatFR]

Even Satan knows Scripture.

[Petronski]

Sort of descibes Calvinism, doesn’t it?

LOLAIWPTD

[Alex Murphy]

Before this descends into the realm of food fights, you wanna give a brief discourse on justification, salvation, sanctification and their various permutations and combinations?

Honestly, I don't have the time to draft something for Petronski's benefit - at least not today. Apologies to all.

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. That definition of the word "mediator" is from Websters. Look it up. And I was using that definition to show the difference between prayers and mediation. Jesus does not just pray for us... he will be, for lack of a better word, our defending attorney when we come face to face with God.

[OpusatFR]

Glad you liked it. I gotta run.

My hour at Adoration.

[irishtenor]

I will go on record in saying that I thought his remark called you a chick. Period.

[Petronski]

How about you?

Do you intend to apologize to me for falsely insinuating I mentioned Jack Chick?

[ArrogantBustard]

Show of hands, here:

How many folks thought Petronski was referring to He Who Shall Not Be Named?

How many folks thought Petronski was using a slang term for a young female Homo Sapiens?

I'm with the "young female H. Sap." interpretation.

[irishtenor]

Refute her, then, with scripture, as Jesus did Satan.
