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.

RnMomof7: "The problem Natural law is that there is no role of priest in the New Testament church... the only priesthood role is that of the believer.."

Natural: "Your argument is with St. Peter, not with me."

Sorry, but no.

Peter never made such a foolish declaration as an Earthly preisthood of Nicolaitans over the saints. It is you that makes that claim.

Are proddys really THAT thick?? Catholics do not worship Mary. We venerate Her, we do not worship her.

Who’s your daddy...

>> Mat 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Seriously?

Jesus, the man, is God.
He has two natures, God and man.
He is only one person.
Mary is the mother of that one person.

It is a Christian Catholic thing. You wouldn’t understand

Fixed it.

It's not Christian. UriÂ’el-2012 is right. It is blasphemous.

There is one mediator between God and man, Jesus Christ.

UriÂ’el-2012 doesn't believe Christ is God. I guess you don't either. Actual Christians do.

“Others seem to be Catholic apostates with an ax to grind, who left the Church because they couldn’t stand someone telling them to love rather than hate. “

You really nailed it It is very sad. They do not share anything positive. Asked how they worship God they rail and bait and screech. What odd behavior. Your analysis seems spot on.

"Do you think your venom for the mother Mary in anyway brings you closer to her son our Lord Jesus?"

Strawman accusation!

RnMom displays no venom whatsoever.

All of the venom comes from catholics, and directed toward Christians, likely in jealousy.

It's correct if you're a Nestorian

What's w/Catholics and their labels?

She didn't give birth to God but to the man, JESUS. You are using your own understanding - a human understanding and applying it to the Supernatural. It doesn't work that way. How can you give birth to What already existed. THE WORD became flesh. IT already was. It's Supernatural. Did not the man Jesus grow in stature? Do you think God needed to grow?

God's Word is Holy Spirit inspired is spiritually discerned and many discount that, also. It is not just a book, it is not just words on a page - it is alive and powerful and must be heard AND obeyed.

Psalm 34:9 "For the Word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; IT judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

So much for your human understanding and your velco but it fits with the tradition that nullifies God's Word.

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

"Peter never made such a foolish declaration as an Earthly preisthood of Nicolaitans over the saints. "

Not Peter, Our Lord:

After his resurrection, Christ also gave the apostles the power of forgiving sin when he breathed upon them saying "Receive the Holy Ghost; who soever's sins you forgive they are forgiven, who soever's sins you retain, they are retained" (John 20:21-23). So now the Priest forgives sins not in his own name but in the name of Christ.
If you are at all interested in Scripture, read Acts 6:6, 14:22, 20:28, 1 Tim 4:14, 2 Tim 1:6, 1 Cor 4:1, Heb 5:1.

Of course if the word VICAR is confusing, Holy Scripture may be a hurdle. On the other hand there is at least one priestess here who claims to know what all words mean, maybe we will get lucky and she will descend from her high place and actually answer simple questions. Or not.

Venom indeed. Nasty, disgusting, abusive venom. And many here see it. That you do not suggest maybe a bias, no?

I don't take instructions of who God is from Catholics who have nullified God's Word through their traditions. I left that bondage.

“She didn’t give birth to God but to the man, JESUS”

What is your understanding of the NATURE of Christ on His earthly sojourn?

Mary, who possesses no divinity, was the mother of the man Jesus.

Mary was a creation of God, thus does not possess the quality of motherhood toward any part of the Godhead.

“She didn’t give birth to God but to the man, JESUS.”

Since you appear not to understand history, Nestor made the same foolish argument you did. The ENTIRE Church condemned that as heresy long before you were born. Invest in education, you might learn something.

“Both of those references are Post Rapture,”

Really? Says who, Pope editor-surveyor I and his lonely little internet flock?

Sorry, but 2,000 years of mainstream Christian scholarship make your claim a laughable twaddle.

You forget, Narses, that according to them, the Holy Spirit was MIA for 1600 years.

You failed to offer scripture in support of your foolish argument, but the idiotic delusion of men.

FAIL!
