Oh dude, I just got off the other Mary thread.
I don’t think I can hack another one!!
Good night and God bless.
Immaculate Conception Ping!
Question:
Exodus 25:11-21 - the ark of the Old Covenant was made of the purest gold for God’s Word. Mary is the ark of the New Covenant and is the purest vessel for the Word of God made flesh.
I have it as
Exodus 25:11-21 - And thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark; and in the ark thou shalt put the testimony that I shall give thee.
Confused why Mary would be talked about Mary in Exodus at all.
Help?
How lovely! Thank you, FRiend.
It’s prophecy. By the way, you may not have noticed, but this is a Catholic Caucus thread. Thank you for your question, but please allow me to ask, are you Catholic?
Yes, I am catholic
Not used to someone quoting a passage and inserting something else there.
Are you a Catholic? This is a Catholic Caucus thread.
The quote from Exodus sets the stage for comparing the Ark of the [Old Testament] Covenant with the Ark of the New Covenant.
Salvation, YES I AM CATHOLIC, I am on your freaking ping list.
WAKE UP
Sorry, FRiend. Please forgive me.
I found the answer. That was all I was looking for.
The quotes are from the Spiritual interpretations of scripture and not the literal quotes.
Used to seeing this talked about with some preamble of where this is coming from.
Many Catholics have questions. The only stupid question is the one that isn’t asked.
And yes, I’m Catholic too.
Jesus didn’t pray to Mary. Of course not. She was still alive.
Do you think just ANY woman would be chosen to be the mother of God? She was born without original sin. An angel came to her (this IS in the bible) and told her she would conceive a son by the Holy Spirit.
She said yes, but can you imagine how scary that was for her? It would be scary enough now, but she could have been stoned to death if Joseph walked away from her.
By the way, we don’t make stuff up. Many many miracles have been attributed to the Blessed Mother.
This is a Catholic caucus thread — I’m guessing neither of you is Catholic . . .
Hi kelly4c,
please remember, this is a Catholic caucus. Likewise, we, too, believe everything that the Bible says. Since the Bible is a Catholic gift to the world, it cannot be otherwise. But we do not agree with your personal, fallible interpretation. Respectfully, I think you said your piece well, and I hope you have a wonderful Monday. Salvation, it’s always nice to read a post from Scripture Catholic, great site.
Salvation, this is a great video and really explains a lot about the Blessed Mother.
I have posted it here and there but those threads weren’t a Catholic Caucus so I don’t think any one watched.
Enjoy, here is the link:

Jennifer was an atheist and is now a Catholic.
