One Mediator Between God and Men: CHRIST JESUS
2010 | God's Word

Posted on 12/03/2010 4:14:50 PM PST by bibletruth

1 Timothy 2:5 ...one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

There is NO debate here: God's Word clearly points out who the mediator is between God and men: i.e., Christ Jesus

If you believe in God's Word, who is Christ Jesus: The Word of God, then 1 Timothy 2:5 will be easily be understood as Christ the mediator.

From the original article; "Monsignor Padre Corrado Balducci speaks for himself and his own research and not the Vatican."

I think Monsignor Corrado Balducci is up the tree with Quix.

“We are forbidden to contact those who have died on this planet and are dead in the body to us. That has never been rescinded.”

So you claim. For 20 centuries the vast bulk of Christendom has believed the opposite. You are simply wrong.

Do you believe you have a guardian angel? Do you believe the angels help you in any way?

Another screeching wannabe preacher eh? You claim to have knowledge superior to that of all of the Orthodox and Catholic prelates and councils throughout ALL of the history of the Church. And I am supposed to take you seriously? What next, UFOlogy?

“You have no authority to interpret scripture BTW”

Really?

You do?

What you do NOT have is the ability to honestly use the English language. That suggests that you are either witless or dishonest. Based on the bigotry and blindness here I have an opinion on which fits you best.

Of course I do. They don’t help me at my direction - they take the direction from the All Knowing God.

We, well His children, are to go directly to God in prayer.
It’s God’s Kingdom and He tells HIS CHURCH how things work.

The RCC can do what they want, pray to the dead - who cares because their traditions have already nullified God’s Word for them - so they don’t take it seriously.

We are addressing here what God’s Word says - not the RCC because they have their own way of doing things - yet they claim it’s ‘the right way’ according to their own understanding - not according to Scripture or they twist Scripture to ‘make it fit’.

“Just show us where she is wrong from the magisteriums infallible interpretation of the scriptures..”

No need, Holy Writ contradicts her false claims. Now about yours.....

I used to not think so.

Now, I go by the well researched evidence.

your argument is with the word of God when one says there is any other priesthood than the priesthood of the believer in the NT church
More made up arguments. Where does the Holy Writ say that?

He was nuts to call fallen angles NONdemonic.

Otherwise, he was very well educated; VERY well connected and HIGHLY respected.

And, he was extremely well informed on the UFO stuff . . . except for his either complicity in deception or cluelessness about the evil nature of the critters.

The displays of your gross lack of awareness continue to be quite an amusing comfort.

You claim to have knowledge superior to that of all of the Orthodox and Catholic prelates and councils throughout ALL of the history of the Church.

It's amazing the knowledge you get from reading God's Word. That's why you are lacking - an overload of man made teachings/doctrines does that.

And I am supposed to take you seriously?

I don't expect you to take anything legit as serious. And we can start with God's Word! And surely you don't think I take you seriously with ALL your MASSIVE fails! How could anyone take a Catholic seriously when they embrace deception!!

Is that pix you? You seem to have a fondest for it.

Below are the examples
of exalting other deities.
They are real.
They are serious.
They are owned,
operated in,
manifested in,
heart-felt wallowed in
by millions of Roman Catholics around the world.
Pretending otherwise does not change the facts.
White washing it with magicsterical diplospeak
doesn't change the facts.
Rationalizing it with 101 weasel words
doesn't change the facts.
.
.
.
the FACTS are easy enough to see below
for anyone with
more discernment than a gnat's.
.
.
.
Those reading this with any consciousness above comotose
no longer have any excuse.
.
.
.
Holy Spirit will be nudging, urging, forsaking of all such
--ALL HINT OF SUCH--
IGNORING HIS LEADING, NUDGING, URGING
in such matters can be spiritually deadly.
Very spiritually deadly.

ONCE AGAIN,
just a small part of
THE EVIDENCE: .

Here's the title:

And it carries the official sanctions of:

2. Official approval, especially of an artistic work.

WITH RICHARD CARDINAL CUSHING’S IMPRIMATUR

Let me track down the brief portion of quotes upthread . . .

Here they are:

However, as we've seen through a variety of sources--a pile of them in Ferraro's manual about the Rosary--the Roman Catholic et al/Vatican Edifice disagrees with a lot of the claims of RC's hereon to the contrary.

p.32
.
[Quixicated emphases below]
Mary is crowned Queen of heaven and earth, dispenser of all graces . . .

p32
4 - She became Queen of Purgatory, where she exercises her power as mediatrix in behalf of these suffering souls.

5 - She became Queen of us sinners, to assist us through the dangers of this life and to help us in difficulties.

6 - She became the ruler of hell, that trembles at her slightest gaze and is defeated by her power.

"Just as a rock extracted from earth will precipitate into the abyss, so will man, left without Mary's help, quickly slide toward hell." --Richard of St Victor

p37
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come; Thy kingdom come through Mary! --Partial Indulgence

p41
"Mary is the tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who hold her fast." --Prov. 3:18

p43
1 - "Hail Mary, beloved daughter of the Father, Mother of the Divine Son, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, complement of the most august Trinity!"

p45
6 - To her was granted grace greater than that conferred upon all others, 'that she might vanquish sin in every respect.'
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's vanquishing sin was unnecessary--or ineffectual without Mary's assistance?]

p46
7 - "Mary is the dawn of God because, just as the dawn marks the end of darkness and the beginning of day, so Mary indicates the end of vices and the beginning of virtue."
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's conquering on The Cross and HIS conquering trip to hell were unncessary?]

9 - God loved Mary so much that He gave her the keys to His heart. 'No one can go to God without Mary drawing him.'
.
[Qx: I guess Holy Spirit has been relegated to a 'Walter Mitty' role as spouse of Mary? That's SOME POWER to cancel & take over HOLY SPIRIT'S role to draw men to God!]

p47
4 - "Mary, trusting in the word of the angel, destroyed the sin Eve committed by trusting in the serpent.'
.
[Qx: Evidently, she beat Christ to the job of vanquishing sin!]

5 - "She desired the safety of everyone, went in search of it, and obtained it; it was also through her that this salvation was wrought."
.
[QX: What an unnecessary waste of precious Blood and suffering on THE CROSS!!!/sar]

p47
10 - "As Noah's Ark saved all the animals that entered it, so Mary saves all the souls that entrust themselves to her care."

p50
8 - "If she were not so holy as she is, how could God appoint her to be the ladder of Paradise, the advocate of the world, meatrix between HIm and us?"

p50
4 - "By becoming Mother of God, Mary belongs to the order of hypostatic union; hence she participates IN the infinite sanctity of God."

So what does that odd claim me in plain English? You are saved and Catholic’s are damned?

You have to learn on your own just like I did. However, so much rebelling here doesn't show a teachable spirit. Along with being spoon feed from the RCC left Catholics void of searching Truth on their own.

And YES I am SAVED and have ETERNAL LIFE now!

"And as yet, you have failed to provide one Scripture to support that position."

You ignored it on another post. You deal with your own ignorance, I have no need of posting it again.

"FWIW, I reject sola scriptura."

As do I. From what I have seen on these threads it is an empty slogan. In practice the Protestants on these threads only follow a few select versus and ignore the hierarchy and context of the entire Scripture anyway.

“Then there was the IVCAR, no?”

The IVCAR was an earlier model, the VICAR was created so dyslexic owners of the IVCAR would trade up.

The VICAR came with a rosary on the rear view mirror right from the factory.

Freegards, thanks for all the pings
