BTW, that quote on Nestorius is from The Reformed Theological Seminary

Not only don’t the anti-Catholics disagree with us, they disagree with THE REFORMED.

It’s Christianity and eternal salvation by Christ alone is the focus.

That's ALL it's about. 'Eternal' should be a clue to It's seriousness - individual responsibility for their own soul. Leaving it up to man/organization is clearly not been responsible when they, alone, pay the consequences. I'm signing off - lots to do!

I think the issue you’re struggling with is “syllogism.”

Are you RC or not? If so, go check out the Council of Chalcedon. If you’re not, check out the Council of Chalcedon.

Jesus is fully God and fully man. God in the Flesh.

Check on your reading of Nestorianism also — I don’t believe in any disunion between the natures. God is almighty.

Hoss states:

““Actually, she is the mother of Jesus. God is eternal and without beginning. He can have no mother.”

“I don’t believe in any disunion between the natures. God is almighty”

But Mary is not the mother of God according to you.

Got it.

Try syllogism; you’re missing a step. Really.

John Duncan:
“In 1 John 4:1–6, John encourages his readers to learn to “test the spirits,” that is, to discern from among these competing views by examining what they teach about the person of Christ. He says in verse 2 that all who confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh and is from God are in agreement with the Spirit of God. Those, however, who oppose the Spirit of God by denying that Christ came in the flesh are antichrist.

What is the biblical answer to the controversial question: Who is Jesus? In John 8:58 Christ says, “Before Abraham was, I am.” Colossians 1:15–20 says He is the “image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation … by Him all things were created in heaven and on earth … in Him all things hold together.” Paul says in Phillipians 2:6 that Christ was the “very nature” and form of God. Hebrews 1:1–3 says that “the Son was the exact representation of God’s being.” Titus 2:13 refers to Him as “our God and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Jesus is God in the flesh, the only Savior of mankind, sent to redeem the souls of the lost, with the authority of God Himself, being God Himself.”

Was God almighty born of woman before time began? God is eternal.

“St. Juvenal, Bishop of Jerusalem, at the Council of Chalcedon (451), made known to the Emperor Marcian and Pulcheria, who wished to possess the body of the Mother of God, that Mary died in the presence of all the Apostles, but that her tomb, when opened upon the request of St. Thomas, was found empty; wherefrom the Apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven.” John of Damascene, PG (96:1) (A.D. 747-751).”

That’s exactly my source. Thank you.

You really need to drop the college logic 101. I graduated very long ago.

What do you call Mary.

“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.

Absolutely, prayers offered. I hated every minute of that two years with the adults, but some of the children went out of their way to be kind to me, even at age 9 they could see the unfairness.

It’s wild isn’t it? It’s like talking into an empty drum.

Good night, Christmas comes, and I have much to do!

God Bless and keep you, Narses.
