The Rosary, a powerful weapon against the devil

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Christ was not acting as our Savior "when He was a child."

The Bible seldom speaks about Christ's early years for this very reason. They are of little consequence to his three-year ministry which culminated in the very purpose for His life -- His death and resurrection to atone for the sins of His flock.

Roman Catholics concentrate of meaningless moments, losing sight of the main event and the only major player.

Pity.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And your quote of Luke 2:51 ignores the verses that come before it and simply shows the 12-year-old Jesus agreed to return home to his parents' house after preaching in the temple.

"And He said to them, “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?”

But they did not understand the statement which He spoke to them." -- Luke 2:49-50

So Mary didn't even understand Her own son who had just rebuked her.

The straws which the RCC grasps to vindicate its idolatrous elevation of Mary get goofier as days go by.

The life of Our Lord and Saviour is inconsequential except for His last three years? Don't you see why we consider the lunatic fringe of the Reformed movement to be non Christian? Paul is the deliverer of the Gospel According to Isaiah and Christ doesn't matter except when He dies and is resurrected. Under Reformed doctrine, Christ is simply a mechanical automaton, going through the motions, and narrated by Isaiah via Paul. Is there any Christ in your Christianity? It seems not.

Christ was not acting as our Savior "when He was a child."

The Bible doesn't support you on this.

"And she shall bring forth a son: and thou shalt call his name JESUS. For he shall save his people from their sins." - Matthew 1:21

Jesus was conceived a Saviour, born a Saviour, lived as Saviour, suffered as a Saviour, died a Saviour, resurrected as a Saviour, and is ascended and reigns as a Saviour.

LOL! Jesus was the perfect fulfillment of the Law, and you're telling me that He broke the Law by not honoring his mother and foster father? YOPIOS is the cause of your flawed theology. Like I said before, it's demonic chaos.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

No, I didn't say He broke the law. I gave you the Scriptures. You misinterpreted those Scriptures as permitting an idolatrous regard for Mary.

Show us in Scripture where Jesus Christ calls Mary anything other than "woman."

[Pyro7480]

No, I’m refuting your assertions using Scripture. I can’t help it if you can’t see it.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Interesting misinterpretation of Scripture. So Christ was saving us while He was learning to walk and talk and play tag?

I didn't realize RCs had so little regard for Christ's death on the cross.

[netmilsmom]

Little Baby Jesus.

Are you saying he isn't?!?

Who looks to be in charge here?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

We are saved by Christ's passive obedience regarding His death on the cross and His active obedience to God's law in all things.

And that's it. No co-redeemers telling Christ what to do and whom to save.

Flee from the idolatry Rome practices.

Mary is no more “special” than any believer.”

She carried the Holy of Holies in her womb for nine months, she’s very special. No one else can boast of this. I don’t care what bible verses you throw at us, we LOVE our Lady as our spiritual mother.

[netmilsmom]

>>Flee from the idolatry Rome practices. <<

Flee from Anti-Catholic websites and hate will leave the heart. As will insanity that comes from posting the same thing over and over, hoping for a different outcome.

I like the Christmas Jesus. He comes with His mother.

[netmilsmom]

Shared DNA too.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The papacy infantisizes Jesus Christ while elevating His mother to super-human proportions.

Creepy.

[Pyro7480]

I didn't realize RCs had so little regard for Christ's death on the cross.

Um, no. That's the flawed theology again. Jesus means "Saviour." His whole life was redemptive, but, above all, His Passion, Death, and Resurrection. I could have as easily have said, some of the "Reformed" have so little regard for Christ in the womb, in the manger, and in the Temple.

[Pyro7480]

The papacy infantisizes Jesus Christ while elevating His mother to super-human proportions.

Again no.

Next thing you know, you'll be complaining about "keeping Christ on the Cross."

[Hegewisch Dupa]

you said: "LOL! Jesus was the perfect fulfillment of the Law, and you're telling me that He broke the Law by not honoring his mother and foster father? YOPIOS is the cause of your flawed theology. Like I said before, it's demonic chaos. "

In return, you get labelled with: "You misinterpreted those Scriptures as permitting an idolatrous regard for Mary." Wow - even for the typical convoluted, prejudicial nonsense that typically oozes from certain sources around here, THAT is a record-setter for screwed up...

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I don’t care what bible verses you throw at us

That is sadly obvious. Sigh.

we LOVE our Lady as our spiritual mother.

Perhaps if you cared for some of the Bible verses that were thrown your way you'd know what an idolatrous statement that is.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Yes, the church in Rome either infantisizes Jesus Christ or keeps Him suffering on the cross.

That's one point for you. Good work.

[Pyro7480]

Jesus also submitted Himself to the Law by allowing Himself to be circumcised on the eighth day after His birth. He shed blood as an infant! He was forced into exile at an early age as well. His whole life was a passion that led to to THE Passion on Calvary.
