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.

I stated that while Luther and Zwingli were adamant about the perpetual virginity of Mary Calvin was conflicted.

Unimportant..meaningless... empty conversation...The sexual life of Mary has nothing to do with our salvation..If Mary became a prostitute following the birth of Christ to supplement the family income.. it would not have one thing to do with the Holiness of God, or with the virgin birth of Christ, or with His propitiation and redemption of men..

In short, unless you think Mary has something to do with your eternity it just does not matter.. which may be why Calvin was "conflicted"

How dare you!

All I can say is, someday you'll know.

Please pay attention to this elementary lesson on Calvin. It will hopefully save you time and trouble in the future.

Believing in the perpetual virginity of Mary MEANS NOTHING. Calvin did not believe Mary was any of the impertinent, anti-Scriptural deification Rome heaps upon the poor woman's head.

Whether she and Josepsh had more children MEANS NOTHING. After Christ was born and raised, Mary fades away. Her job was finished. She had completed the task God had given her. She was simply the earthly vessel through which Christ was born into this life.

God could have birthed Christ in a cabbage patch, if He had wanted to. Instead, He made Christ "a little lower than the angels," who could feel our pain and know our plight, being in every way fully human, like His mother, and fully God, like His Father.

We worship the heavenly Father, not the earthly mother. Rome is stuck in the dirt while life and salvation is above us, through Christ alone.

She has been so elevated to the status of goddess that they really do think it matters..

RnMom already knows NOW for It Is Written, not someday. How dare you nullify God's Word with your tradition. Overlook it now but someday it will be impossible to overlook, since you will be judged by IT.

You appear to have zero respect for The Mother of God. Do you think Jesus would take kindly to you insulting His Mother??

How many times must you be told; Catholics do not worship Mary.

How blasphemous do think the term Mother of God is ?

The creator of the universe by definition does not have a mother.

Exactly, those that live by the law will be judged by it ..not exactly hopeful

I think Jesus is more offended by the blasphemy of making His mother a goddess

Could you please explain in practice how worship differs from veneration??

The world knows otherwise, why don't you?

The disrespect shown for GOD's Word as you nullify HIS WORD and for JESUS Who is The Word and for the HOLY SPIRIT, HE inspired The Word means what to you?

"Thus you nullify the Word of God by your tradition that you have handed down.." Mark 7:13

"'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men.'"

Just when we think anti-Catholics bigots can't sink to a new low, you pull a stunt like, this during Advent?

You should be ashamed, and I suspect deep down, if you have not completely trampled your conscience to death, you really are.
