Thank you, chase, for the post. It’s good to see the verses here and my prayer is that people truly believe them and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. We can all recite verses but does it just become a habit or do you really believe what they say and are you trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation? I appreciate your sending me these.

Those of us on these threads who are not Catholics do have a problem with the way Mary is put on a pedestal and often appearing to be equal or even above Christ. It’s not that we disrespect or dishonor her. NO. She IS the Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. We honor her for that. Too often she’s nearly worshipped for being more than that (co-redemptrix, salvific, sinless, no other children, etc.). I know the other poster isn’t making fun of Mary. He pokes at what some Catholics have made of her.

Bless you. Mary

You’re welcome. Yes, Jesus died on the Cross for our sins giving us an abundance of salvation. I also believe we can lose that salvation through mortal sin. A question for you Mary - Catholics have been baptized therefore all Catholics have been “born again”. Are you “born again”? I mean the way the Holy Bible understands it?

We don’t worship the Blessed Mother and I know some Protestants persist in believing otherwise despite evidence to the contrary. As this forum has a wealth of information w/ linkage proving the contrary I won’t dwell on it unless there’s something specific….suffice to say Christ must particularly approve of our going to Him through His Blessed Mother, because He chose to come to us through her.

Mary, I didn’t think he was making “fun”. We explained to him that the Holy Rosary was embedded with Sacred Scripture yet he continued his “pokes”. I believe he recites his ‘verses’frequently and it’s become a bad habit.

Blessings

believe on the Lord Jesus Christ

Is there a difference between believing in and believing on? I am unfamiliar with the term "believe on." Where does that come from?
