The bodily resurrection of Mary. Mary's sinlessness. Apostolic succession. The Catholic Church. Peter in Rome. Peter as 1st pope. Popes. Etc. Almost everything Rome believes and teaches is OUTSIDE the Bible. If she isn't ADDING to the Word of God for her beliefs, she is TAKING AWAY from the Word of God for her beliefs. Additions and abberations is putting it mildly.
By the way, not everything that happened is IN the Bible - some things are simply historical events. The evidence that Peter was in Rome and died there is overwhelming, and it IS mentioned in the Bible. Such as in John 21, where Jesus predicts Peter’s martyrdom. Or the fact that 1 Peter was written from “Babylon.”
There is also extra-biblical historical information, like the fact that the excavated Peter’s tomb. It had his name on it. And was precisely where the Church Fathers said it was.
Sounds like you were just getting warmed up...
but, but, nothing in that list has ever been spoken of before on this forum.
Well that, and such doesn't exist. I mean any criticism can't exist. You never said that! We've NEVER HEARD IT BEFORE. Is there ANYTHING in your [puny] little mind that can in the least establish your complaint(s)?
smvoice:
Mary was not bodily resurrected as you say, only Christ was resurrected, i.e meaning according to his own power since he is TRue God as well as True Man [as stated in the Nicene Creed] and a Divine Person with both a human and Divine Nature, to cite Chalcedon in 451AD.
Mary was “Assumed into heaven” which is the way all those who die in God’s Grace will “get to heaven” They will be assumed by the Power of God, unless all you “rapture believers” think you are going to float to heaven on your own power [btw, the rapture is a heretical doctrine].
“The bodily resurrection of Mary.”
You mean the Assumption? Mary was not resurrected. She did not die.
“Mary’s sinlessness.”
scripture explicitly states that she was ‘full of grace’. Do you believe that someone who is full of grace can sin?
“Apostolic succession.”
Again - we see it in Acts. The church appointed one of their own to succeed. Apostolic succession is biblical.
“The Catholic Church.”
Oh. I see. When did the Catholic church begin?
“Peter in Rome.”
Peter was in Rome.
“Peter as 1st pope.”
If Peter was the first bishop of Rome, then he was the first pope.
“Almost everything Rome believes and teaches is OUTSIDE the Bible.”
Ok. If one wanted to know what the Catholic church believes - what would you consult?
And transubstantiation.
