Sounds like rather upside down
convoluted perceptions, to me.

Actually, elite leftists set the standard long ago -those that would set themselves up as a God have been around for ages.
They tell you what you are thinking, what you believe, and then after telling you what you think and belief they tell you that you are wrong and they are right.
Hey though --there is no need to worry about salvation with these elite people around -just kiss their feet and your saved... Well not really ---Know them by their fruit -a good tree does not produce bad fruit...
Yes --"they" always "win" the debate because they really do not debate -any supposed "questions" already have been answered -they do not seek knowledge or really care what you feel or think or believe --THEY just seek an audience to hold court upon as they crown themselves God. These types seek merely a way to engage one in assisting them with the delusional and self indulgent false anointing they grow ever addicted to...
Jesus was correct about these types -turning the other cheek is the best remedy... Without an audience to participate in their ritual they quickly become irrelevant...
Yeah, I was just taking a quick look on my way to bed, after watching the Steelers victory, and was surprised to see a name other than yours attached to a photo that I recognized, and associated with, one of your regular, non-verbal responses.
I've never seen that picture posted by anyone other than you.
Not sure why you felt the need to ping everyone on "Team Quix", but I'm going to bed, so I guess it will be something to read and laugh over in the morning.
The sin nature comes from the father, not the mother.
The reason that Jesus was born sinless was because he didn't have a human father; God was His father. He inherited His Father's nature.
Dude, fire your dentist.
You’re crediting half the world coming to God on a vision????
Like they wouldn’t have heard any other way?
I see — it is a version of OCD.
Well, at least I sort of understand it.
That was a very nice thread you started there. I also support FReepers even when they disagree with me (aka “wrong”) over others.
It takes a lot of smarts and stones to hang here at FR. We do not suffer fools lightly and many have been shown the door.
We may disagree, but you are good guy there, Quix.
REALLY?????
He means "the other half."
I hope this helps.
I ping those characters for a lot of reasons . . .
One of their most valuable services to me is as a reality check on my own perspective and human-ness.
If Mary was sinless, there would be no reason for Jesus. She could have been sacrificed.
God gave His Son because no man was sinless. ONLY GOD is sinless. To say otherwise, is calling God’s Word a lie. And that’s what satan has done from the beginning. It’s good vs evil with this Mary being born sinless. She was a virgin, that is all that was required. God’s makes the rules and it was prophesied Jesus would be born of a virgin - not someone sinless.
The Catholic stance is that Mary required forgiveness of original sin because she shared blood and flesh with Christ for 9 months.
Who amongst Mary’s foremothers can claim the same?
I am not espousing a single theological belief, FRiend. I am explaining the differences between beliefs, according to what I have personally endeavored to understand.
The point is, grace flows from our redeemer, Jesus. It does not come from Mary.
Mea Culpa.
Mary needn’t have been sinless.
But (from a Catholic point of view), Christ’s sharing of original sin with Mary for 10 months during gestation wouod have tainted him. Therefore, she required absolution from original sin.
MortMan, having attained a perfect state of fatigue, requires sleep.
Therefore, I will answer further responses tomorrow.
Good night, all.
EVIL knows no bounds.
Actually, that bloke has more teeth than I do.
Not true as she was not sinless on her own merit but because she had been preserved from sin by the grace and merits of Christ. Jesus is God and is by His very nature sinless.
Thanks for your kind

May God draw you ever closer to Himself, this week.
>>I find the drug gangs demonstrations of love and respect for Santa Muerte particularly touching. Don’t you?<<
Have you been to Mexico? Your analogy is like saying that since some Blacks such as jessie jackson and sharpton are race pimps, all blacks are race pimps.
I assure you my Mexican father in law is quite the devout Christian, but he also makes it a point to honor St. Thaddius, the patron saint of lost causes (that would be me probably) and St. Joseph, the patron saint of workmen (my FIL works 6 days a week and is over 80 years old).
Do you think my FIL is a drug dealer because he goes to a Catholic church and burns a candle daily in respect of the saints he sees as guiding forces in his life?
I invite you to rethink your rash statement.
Eating corn on the cob must be a real challenge.
