Because of the Protestant Reformers Beliefs On Mary

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

Rabid Clique RC’s and most of the others

have an automatic exemption from the rules that everyone else has to live by.

Me, I take that as a personal attack. Maybe it is just me, but there it is.

The post Quix keeps repeating is 529 which is in reply to another poster, quoting his post 497 and then diagnosing Catholics generally as being in "denial."

The post itself is not "making it personal" because it could be speaking of any Catholic. But the badgering of you with the same post is indeed making the thread "about" you, which is a form of "making it personal."

But mostly, it is annoying to everyone.

One at a time I respond to posters. Spam like quix used on this thread is abusive.

If my posts are wrong in response to quix’s odd, repetitive (and until this thread) one at a time spews of color and repetitive cut-n-pastes - well then so are his original posts.

Two different issues, but both open to discussion.

I am absolutely open to quix no longer playing his multi-colored, repetitive posts which would eliminate my responses to same.

[narses]

Any chance the multiple posts can be deleted?

Who gave you that interpretation? Where in scripture does it say that Mary was "Trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely"?

Jesus did...

Joh 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

Now you know...

How do you know that Mary or any other human that has gone to Heaven can hear your prayer?

Is the body of Christ separated? Does your leg need to hear your arm to be part of one body? Does one part of your body become ill while the other is healthy? Can you have compassion without words?

Do you say the creed: "I believe in the Communion of Saints"?

If you take things personally, then “open” Religion Forum threads will torment you. It is best to IGNORE them altogether and instead post to RF threads labeled “ecumenical” “caucus” “prayer” or “devotional.”

You want control of his posts?

Quix, I enjoy your posts and seems like competition to be like you is underway.

[narses]

I laugh at such stupid claims, none the less they are clearly personal, especially when they are posted too me.

Can the spam quix spewed be deleted?

There is NOTHING to discuss about your spam - it speaks for itself!

Very annoying!

Sometimes silence would be better than reposting all the stuff again and again. Just silence. My opinion only.

To be even-handed, if I deleted all these badgering posts to you I’d have to also delete all your Applewhite posts to Quix. And I have things to do before Sunday so I suggest both of you just forgive and forget and stop tormenting each other.

Or, “Woman, what is that between me and thee?”

The interpretation you give is what a modern person would interpret using today’s language. Who told you that should be interpreted to mean that “Mary was trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely”? There is nothing in the passage to indicate that. It appears that you are assuming (probably wrongly) that Christ Jesus was annoyed with His mother for telling Him that they were out of wine. I sincerely doubt that.

James 1:12 - those who endure will receive the crown of life which God has promised. Mary has received the crown of life by bringing eternal life to the world.

The biblical Mary got to heaven the same way all other Christians get there. John 3;16

I think biblically, Jesus gets top billing for bringing eternal life. John 5:21 "For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it."

One at a time I respond to posters

One right after another with the same trick pony show. Stop making this thread about you and your spam!

I wrote in Latin to make a relevant point. Threats and finger-wagging are quite unnecessary.

There is nothing written in Latin that would make it any more relevant than writing it in English...Just showing off your language skills???

“To be even-handed, if I deleted all these badgering posts to you I’d have to also delete all your Applewhite posts to Quix.”

Why? I have never spammed quix like he did here. One post at a time in response to his posts. This thread he went gaga.

OTOH, I am totally open to NOT having his odd, multi colored rants to respond to. Absent his posts, mine end. Hey quix, any chance you will stop?

[narses]

ROTFLMAO!

[presently no screen name]

Absent his posts, mine end

CONTROL IN ACTION!!

1 Thess. 4:17 - we shall be caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so we shall always be with the Lord.

Rev. 12:1 - we see Mary, the “woman,” clothed with the sun. While in Rev. 6:9 we only see the souls of the martyrs in heaven, in Rev. 12:1 we see Mary, both body and soul.

2 Thess. 2:15 - Paul instructs us to hold fast to oral (not just written) tradition. Apostolic tradition says Mary was assumed into heaven. While claiming the bones of the saints was a common practice during these times (and would have been especially important to obtain Mary’s bones as she was the Mother of God), Mary’s bones were never claimed. This is because they were not available. Mary was taken up body and soul into heaven.
