Mary and the Problem of Christian Unity

Evidently . . . other than . . . daily . . . or hourly or whatever it is.

Catholicism does not make Mary a substitute for Christ.

[annalex]

God wanted Jesus to have brothers and sisters.

Those who keep His commandments ARE His brothers and sisters, as the Scripture teaches at least in four places.

Nowhere, however, does the scripture say that God wanted Mary to have other biological children, or that she actually had them.

[Petronski]

And thanks for the points.

You play The Game so intensely, you even keep track of scoring.

[Marysecretary]

ME TOO. Marvin Rosenthal, a Jewish believer, was a strong pre-trib person until he began to really study it. He wrote an excellent book on “The Pre Wrath Rapture of the Church.” He convinced me! But, whatever, we need to be prepared. And HE lost a LOT of friends because of his change of position.

[Marysecretary]

Some of them are so intricate that I can’t see how they would be man made. Especially not in a short period of time.

[Marysecretary]

These men and others were the preincarnate Christ. Often when the Bible speaks of angels, it means Christ.

A sufficiently-accurate literacy test would mean the end of the comments you decry.

= = =

Which, of course, is another brazen falsehood brought to us through the courtesy of the RC edifice’s magicsterical, most likely.

Catholicism does not make Mary a substitute for Christ.

Perhaps if y'all would roll back the whole co-redemptrix / co-mediatrix thing... It seems to give off an air of interchangeability, don't you think?

[Petronski]

You’re kind of an expert on brazen falsehoods.

[Quix]

I don’t know that an edifice of any flavor does much of anything in a very homogeneous, faithful way . . . except government grows bigger, more burdensome and abusive . . .

However, individual RC’s do precisely that in a myriad of ways, daily.

It’s brazenly obvious. Even hereon.

[Marysecretary]

Oh, and the Pope isn’t perfect either. He’s just a man, like any one else. A good man and a good leader, but still just a man.

[Petronski]

It seems to give off an air of interchangeability, don't you think?

Only to those who don't understand it.

What was that you were saying about literacy tests?

[rbmillerjr]

“That’s a pretty slick generic assault! congrats!”

It’s not an “assault”. You may want to try a dictionary for that particular word and the usage of such.

There was also nothing “generic” about my comment it was pointed and specific and apparently hit a nerve. I’m a big believer in education and intellect and pray that all can be the recipient of at least a bare minimum of reasoning ability. I’ll keep some of you in my prayers.

[Quix]

I’ve already spoken to that.

Sorry my words were too complex for maximum comprehension . . .

I don’t keep score AT ALL.

God does.

I just often wish to note the event, process, phenomenon . . .

Those who suffer for truth and righteousness will be rewarded.

[Petronski]

No, that wasn’t you. It was the other one.

[Petronski]

That’s not God making all the posts bragging about making points.

[Quix]

SOMEONE has to be

on the RC threads!

[Petronski]

Oh, and the Pope isn’t perfect either.

You keep propping up those strawmen and bashing them down. Congratulations!

[Quix]

Thanks.

I love the laughs provided by such assertions.

Great for the immune system.

[Petronski]

Why did you just deny you’re doing it?
