We would probably all do well, to save this section of this thread.

It’s an excellent demonstration of the

VATICAN SYSTEM talking out of all sides of its mouths and all sides of its fingers

still all with straight faces as though that were SOP,

which it tends to be.

What’s the difference between God and God Almighty?

Alex, this may be a good save for your archives . . . it illustrates dramatically

the Vatican’s tendency to speak out of all sides of its mouths and fingers . . . with a straight face . . . as though that made perfect sense. LOL.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Amen.

MOST FOLKS I KNOW

construe

GOD to = GOD ALMIGHTY

or . . . as a collective term for The Trinity.

RC’s get slippery and absurd with the term to justify calling Mary the Mother of GOD.

OF COURSE JESUS IS GOD.

THAT’S NEVER AN ISSUE.

Casting Mary as the MOTHER OF GOD

is essentially, in context, false advertising. It is deceptive, disingenuous, false,

and carries all manner of nuances that are UNBIBLICAL and worse.

I can’t imagine ever feeling comfortable with the term. It sets my spirit on edge as a manipulation, a verbal slight of hand, a seductive trick.

Dreadful.

I agree. This section is taking a particular turn on its own, it seems...

It comes across

as a VERY BRAZEN VERBAL, LINGUISTIC MANIPULATION

TO GIVE THE CARICATURED MARY PERSONAGE

A BOOST—AN UNWARRANTED, UNBIBLICAL BOOST

TOWARD UNWARRANTED, UNBIBLICAL ELEVATION

above that of simple, humble, obedient Believer—which is all the Bible ever casts her as.

Peter, all the greats in Scripture and every recorded example of any angelic visitations ALWAYS DECLINED even HINTS of such elevations.

One would think the RCC would take the hint.

WRONG!

Participation in the life of the Church should lead any Catholic (Charismatic, traditional, or ordinary) into a deeper relationship with the Eucharist, the Blessed Mother and the Pope.


So are you saying Jesus needs to get to the back of the line ?

Jesus is listed in the front of that line.

NONSENSE. And I find that assertion of yours one of the most shocking such things I’ve ever seen you post.

It is obvious that MetMom knows Jesus is Creator God. She is well on record as believing every word of the Bible.

When their claws and teeth REALLY COME OUT

it’s no holds barred, from their side.

It becomes hyper personal with a deep rooted and intense vengeance.

I suggest, if we don’t wish the thread to become toxic, that we all calm down a bit, at least stop yelling at each other.

It’s a good time to take a breath and calm down.

LeraSo are you saying Jesus needs to get to the back of the line

Jesus is fully present in the Eucharist(Body ,Blood Soul and Divinity),so He is at the front

What is so hard to understand about Mary being the mother of Jesus and not the Mother of God?

Just as Jesus Christ's human nature had no father, His divine nature had no mother.
