Wow! Pure unadulterated law with little/no Grace!

The Froman Catholic’s will no doubt canonize you.

Thanks but is there a point you’re attempting to reach? That question is always the first in my mind. If there is, What is it? and if not, Why not?

I think you are misinterpretting not only people’s motivations for their actions, but sometimes thier actions as well.

And there is very little in the bible about Mary other than God blessed her by choosing her to be Christ’s mother. Jesus had no partiality toward her that I see anywhere in His Word.

But the general answer to your question is that we are all fallen sinners and prove every day that we NEED the blood of Christ for our salvation, no matter how hard we try to be “good”.

1. If we want evil to stop, why do speak of where it is, how to see it, where to see it, and when it may happen?

Could you translate that question please?

Do you have a newsletter we can all subscribe too? And do you live in a yurt we can all flock too? And finally, how many yard statues of Mary do you have on your premisis?

[Psalm 73]

Interesting 1st post.
How about just asking a few questions intead of many, and oddly worded at that?
Usually we like posters to hang around and engage in the give-and-take of response posts instead of a "data-dump and run".

Why do we want to own land,

To build houses, grow grass, put up swingsets, grow crops, graze cattle.

Is this Econ 101?

I call bogus on your claim the HS sent you here w/this question.

If we revere Mary as the mother of GOD, why do we not copy her obedience??

My question to you. Do you believe The Holy Spirit inspired Word of God is the FINAL AUTHORITY?

I was delighted with these pictures of Jesus sent me by a friend in my parish, and looking for a pretext to put them on a FReeper thread. I hope you don't mind that I chose yours!

Grace and peace to all of you. I am very new to this site. The holy spirit brought me hear tonight to look over many answers here. To learn and to share.

Learn first.

What is your only comfort, in life and in death?

[Cronos]

well written. Jesus Christ is the main example of how to live our lives and Mary too is an example to us of obedience and acceptance and the Apostles are examples of how we can still follow no matter how flawed we are.

>> “If we revere Mary as the mother of GOD, why do we not copy her obedience??” <<

.
Mary is not “the mother of God.” She is the earthly mother of Yeshua, but in the heavenly relm, she is the mother of no one, but a sister to all.

She was not particularly obedient beyond following the angel’s instructions. She often resisted her son’s ministry, but that is human nature, isn’t it.

Let’s not be creating false titles, and dividing up the kingdom of God capriciously, and against his word.
