It’s a good source. They use that Greek word usage because it’s how the Catholic Church mesmerizes them. The jump from “full of grace” to sinless is amazing. The same grace is given to each of us and we certainly are not sinless. I’m afraid their fear of realizing they have been duped is greater then their love of Christ and truth.

Oh, yes, I am hypnotized by the catholic Church...

Makes sense to me.

You do not have the same grace as that given to Mary. Sorry, you just don't qualify. But I agree, you ceraainly are not sinless. I’m afraid their fear of realizing they have been duped is greater then their love of Christ and truth.

Truth according to YOU. Not according to the teaching authority of my church. And cannot remotely touch my love of Christ.Nope. Not even close.

It's something that I have concluded for quite some time now. We see it very clearly anytime even the smallest detail of "dogma" is disputed. No matter how many references of Scripture are shown, their conclusion boils down to it must be a problem with how we are "interpreting" the verses because their "Infallibly determined Infallible Magesterium" could not ever be wrong about anything. They have more twists and spins to explain it all than the best politicians could ever hope for.

I praise the Lord that he has seen fit to preserve his Divinely inspired Scriptures, not only in versions translated for the modern tongue, but also in the original languages manuscript copies that remain our references for full study. I didn't HAVE to learn Greek or Hebrew to be able to understand God's teachings that are just as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago.

They don't have anything...

They admittedly do not believe that Salvation is by grace thru faith, without works...That's foolishness to them...

They mock us when we talk about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in ALL believers...

They criticize us for looking for that Blessed Hope, the return of Jesus, hopefully in our lifetimes...

Those are the marks of a 'natural man'...

1Co 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Their religion is 'outside' of what we base our Christianity on, the Bible...They even admit they are not a religion of the Book...They are a religion of something other than the Book...

Their entire history is based upon the Philosophy of the natural man...And to connect to Christianity, they of course must invent things to convince their converts that they are a 'Christian' religion...
