That form of questioning does not come from God but surely resembles the tactics used by His arch enemy. Whose side are you on?
So does Dave Hunt.
Adam and Eve were husband and wife. Do you not see the utter blasphemy in what you are claiming?
Oooops, sorry.
That’ll teach me to post while...dumb, I guess.
Take it up with the Religion Moderator. If I were to respond to what I thought anyone really meant instead of what they really said I would be attempting the forbidden practice of mind reading. You "It is written" folks sure seem to want it both ways.
Besides, if you are a student of Freud there are no meaningless slips of the tongue.
” Do you not see the utter blasphemy in what you are claiming? “
No, please elucidate.
That verse doesn't even make any sense...Where are getting these verses??? Are you making them up???
Here's the real verse...
Isa 46:4 And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Again, God says to His Divine Son: “Sit Thou on My right hand until I make Thy enemies Thy foot-stool” (Psalm 109:1). Will the Messias, once His enemies are subdued, relinquish His place of honor?
LOL...Don't condemn God or his scripture just because you don't have a clue what he's talking about...
In itself the statement, “He knew her not till she brought forth her first-born Son,” neither proves Mary’s subsequent virginity nor contains an argument against it. Speaking as he does, the Evangelist in no wise affirms that the abstention mentioned by him ceased after the expiration of the time indicated.
Of course it does...We already have plenty of dictionaries...You don't get to invent another one...
If Joseph abstained from the use of the union preceding the angel’s message, who could think that after Mary had brought forth the Son of God, he should feel less reverence for the temple of the Trinity?
I'm sure Joseph didn't feel any reverence for Mary...Jesus didn't show any reverence for Mary...Mary was Joseph's wife...They had sex...They had kids...
And it is quite apparent there are occasions where the moderator lets the posts stand... even if not exactly expressed correctly by the posters...as there is the matter of discerning...it is not uncommon for a breakthrough of truth to occur when posters are seemingly aggravated and or have nothing more to offer than their nasty remarks. They then let the truth stand regardless of the outcry of the posters, for a time.
In this case my expression...was simply geared toward that of your consistent knit-picking which gets in the way of the discussions at hand...and causes diversion from the topic..then the battering begins. Do you do this on purpose because it looks that way to me.
And no, I am not assuredly a student of Freud...though familiar with his “stuff”...which is about all the credit I would give his works.
Maybe by your definition...But not by Paul's, or Gods...You just pointed to a verse about unborn babies and equate it to born, young children...
That's apparently how you guys can worship Mary with a clear conscience...You completely ignore scripture and make up your own...
I'm not surprised in the least when people are dismissive of anything they are ignorant of as if saying; were it important I would already know it. Its just like the anti-Catholics who profess to know more than the Magesterium about what Catholics do and don't believe without ever having actually studied it.
How should a Trinitarian Christian respond when some fool or heretic posts "Jesus OR God"?
It's worse than you think...They claim that Mary never died...She was 'assumed' to heaven while still alive...They never found her grave and weren't able to collect her bones so they say it must be so...
That may be true to some extent but I do not underestimate those who have drawn conclusions concerning the catholic faith thru examining catholic beliefs and dogma along side of scripture, which according to Christ Jesus is the final authority over any of mans opinions...including those you mentioned.
Further many of these threads are battling for truth and opposing that which isn't. Anytime these two meet you can be assured their will be hightned posts and passions about ones beliefs.....more importantly for truth to prevail.
Jesus himself went up against the religious teachers of His time as did the apostles....we are called to stand for the truth....of which the enemy of mens souls surely distorts in order to draw people away from the truth which is in Christ.
There are other..."softer" threads where one can share the faith..we all have the freedom to leave any thread if it gets too hot for our taste. However I have found remaining can and does teach us what we are indeed up against in the real world and these posters are not only standing for the truth but are also showing us deceptions and tactics used by He who opposes Gods truth...in action and up close..and yes even personal.
100% false, assuming you mean the official position of the Catholic Church. The Church has never formally defined whether or not she actually died.
If you are talking about individual Catholic's beliefs, I can't speak to that.
Generally speaking if you know the persons intent and they are on topic...you just let it go. Easy...especially since the poster is known to also be a "Trinitarian Christian"...as you have named.
I do not know anyone's intent and top presume to do so is mind reading. That said, I'll let it go when the anti-Catholics shop trotting out the magnifying glass to examine the punctuation in Scripture and the Catechism in vain attempts to prove Catholicism errant.
top presume? shop trotting?
However.. I will 'presume what you intended' and let these go.
Point..game...tsk tsk.
*snicker*
Amen and amen.
I AGREE.
