Again, you rely strictly on the Bible. But even by this measure, don’t forget that at the key moments of the birth of the Redeemer; His death, and soon after when He appeared to His disciples in the upper room, and again at the time of His Ascension, Mary was there.

Never to heard from again...

Mary, as Catholic belief impels, ascended into Heaven both body and soul. For a full nine months the Christ shared her flesh and blood and was of her flesh and blood. St. Ann and St. Joachim her parents did not bear the Christ and this is the defining point of difference.

Of course we do strictly rely on the Bible...The bible tells us that it includes everything we need to know to become Christians...To get saved...To live eternity in heaven...To become the church of Jesus Christ...

Your religion adds to the scripture and takes away from the scripture in spite of how the scripture condemns you for it and you call it your tradition...

That's fine...I don't have any problem with your religious tradition...Until you tell me you will kill me if I don't accept it...

You can pray to saints...You can pray to Mary...You can pray to Humpty Dumpty...I don't care...

But then to claim your unGodly and unBiblical tradition is just as legitimate as the God breathed words of the Holy Spirt and claim that YOU are the church Jesus founded is beyond the pale...That's right up there with 'Al Gore invented the internet'...

There is a Christianity found in the scriptures, alone...The means of Creation is there...The means of salvation is there...The set-up and operation of the Christian church is there...There is nothing that needs to be added...

I agree, your type of Christianity is not in the scriptures...We all agree on that...

The bible is not incomplete...There is a Christianity there...We are THAT Christianity...
