Because of the Protestant Reformers Beliefs On Mary

Why I Am a Catholic ^ | 12/16/10 | Frank Weathers

You’re right, of course.

Still, it’s my hope and prayer that maybe Judith or others might actually look at their Bibles and see that the things they’re saying are just plainly and simply false.

But, that’s for the Lord to do — to open closed eyes and to soften hearts of stone.

Thanks —

Hoss

You may have been availed of a Catholic education, but you obviously did not benefit from it...

First, you start out with I didn't have Catholic education, when proven wrong, then I didn't benefit from it because I don't adhere to your beliefs. Control in play.

.... as I stated.

Once again, it's about what 'you' state. 'I', 'I', 'I', me, me, me. Let 'me' make 'myself' clear as ' I ' stated - the Obama mantra! Know nothing about an event; yet, 'the cops acted stupidly'. I guess the cops didn't avail themselves to their training. Another example of big gov't and Catholicism on one accord that is based on a lie.

You telling me about what my loss and/or benefits from MY OWN education is control and manipulation. The RCC tell their members, we know what you need, we know what you don't have, follow 'me' I'll show you the way.

VS. God's Word - My sheep hear My voice and follow no other. JESUS is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No man comes to The Father but by Me.

“Since the official pronouncements of Immaculate conception and assumption where very recent (150 years?), I assume it was ok to believe or not to believe these before that.”

So your argument is that Arius was right because he preached that Christ was not divine? That’s not how it works.

The Councils reaffirm what has been the teaching of the Catholic church from the beginning. It’s been the teaching since Chalcedon that Mary was bodily assumed into heaven.

THE NEW DEBATE OVER MARY

Amen, great post, Dr. E. Good source for the link too. :) This really is getting out of hand. Mary must increase, but God must decrease.

It’s the drivers who read those “Stop” signs as “Pause”!

Maybe a few more red stop signs in different languages is needed? ;)

They were treated and released but the crossing guard nearly got killed.

Lawbreakers are always the problem and the innocent suffer, unfortunately. Reminds me of 'My people suffer for a lack of knowledge'. Hopefully, the guard is home and doing well. An incident of nearly being killed could understandably put one in the fear mode; as well as the children witnessing the event. I pray any fear will be replaced with HIS PEACE that defies human understanding.

LOL! I didn't ask for an example or examples - so I didn't read your lengthy post. I asked the few lines I posted was that an example?

I was keeping on the topic of your objection to "And from that foul disease of a proposition, all papist idolatry flows.

Was your lengthy post addressing the above? Changing the subject that you brought up - now when I asked a question - is non productive. So I will assume my own answer to my question is YES, it applies.

The statement posted..."And from that foul disease of a proposition, all papist idolatry flows., therefore, is true. End of discuss.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

"foul disease" is venereal disease.

ROTFLOLOL!

Your idiotic assumption is ludicrous.

Your statement tells us a LOT more about your mind than mine.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

They’ve officially lost it.

Not only do they tell us what we can or cannot post, they now tell us what our own posts mean.

I think cancer is a “foul disease,” and cancer is similar to the plague of distorted Christianity Rome preaches. Cancer invades a healthy organ, corrupting it and eventually killing it.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Mary must increase, but God must decrease.

Sad, but true, as evidenced by these many posts from our RC FRiends.

>>I pray any fear will be replaced with HIS PEACE that defies human understanding. <<

Amen!

"Your idiotic assumption is ludicrous."

Just when I thought you couldn't stoop any lower.....

Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God I speak this to your shame. - 1 Cor 15:34

[Dr. Eckleburg]

~~”Nope. And I never said I did. I am guilty only of speculating (a WASG, to be sure) what degrees you do NOT hold.”~~

No, Judith, you most certainly did more than “speculate.” You made a false pronouncement of fact which you do not know to be true.

You do not know what advanced degrees I hold, and therefore you cannot say, as you did before in your post 1,120, that I am “not a “Dr.”

[Dr. Eckleburg]

How far you think I can stoop is of no importance to me.

Scripture still stands heads above the RCC catechism, and that’s what matters.

[OpusatFR]

“DR” Eckleburg states: “Not only do they tell us what we can or cannot post, they now tell us what our own posts mean.”

I have to post that again!

“Not only do they tell us what we can or cannot post, they now tell us what our own posts mean.”

In fact, I have to archive this one.

“Not only do they tell us what we can or cannot post, they now tell us what our own posts mean.”

ROTFLMLO, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

This is the same bunch of anti-Catholic bots posting over and over and over that what Catholics believe and state about their faith is not what they mean, but only what the
anti-Catholics say it means through the distorted lens of their own hatred of all things Catholic.

"I think cancer is a “foul disease,”"

I don't care what you think, I am offended by what you posted. We are not supposed to mind read, as you so frequently remind others, and the when the vileness of your inner thoughts and demons leak out on to these pages all Christians and people of Good Will are revulsed. That truly is a cancer on Christianity.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Protestants aren’t the ones changing the meaning of words like “remember me,” and “mediator” and “redeemer” and “mother” and “woman” and “Eve” and “justification” and “sanctification” and “good fruit”...

[presently no screen name]

I thought of cancer when I saw ‘foul’. It eats up and destroys what is alive. Oct 2 a dear friend died of cancer and that is how he described it - ‘this foul disease is destroying me’. Oh, the heartbreak!

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Changing the subject

They are masters of it, as all these many comments and threads reveal.

They also try to change the meaning of words and argue facts not in evidence.

I got the idea of all idolatry being a "foul disease" from Barth's quotation yesterday. Let's read it again...

"Mariology is an excrescence...a diseased construct of theological thought...In the doctrine and worship of Mary there is disclosed the one heresy of the Roman Catholic Church which explains all the rest.” -- Karl Barth

[Judith Anne]

Oh, yes, Karl Barth. Lived with his wife and mistress at the same time.

Fascinating guy...
