Tried to review the thread while away from the hospital and did not see an answer to a simple question I asked, asked twice, I think.
Do you agree or disagree with Nestorius?
Forgive me if I missed your answer.
When you answer questions directly, with Christian charity, without the "LOL"; with respect for me as a person, regardless of the wonderful fact that I am Catholic, I would try to do so. I just don't see it happening. As always, God bless you, but it is you who are blinded, by your admitted hatred of Catholicism. Hatred is an obstacle to Christian discussion.
Also, Im still wondering how one finds a spirit-filled church without their being some sort of leader, teacher, head of Bible study. Worth repeating, as the question was never answered.
I'm tempted to queue-up "All My Ex's Live in Texas" for a bit of comic relief about now.
No offense...
Another one which comes to mind
Or you didn't recognize it.
Grateful, Rome plays a part in the end times..
And she played a part throughout history..
The first reformers believed the papacy was the seat of the Antichrist..
And time has softened that belief between catholics and protestants..
Problem is, people have a hard time proving catholics and protestants don’t worship the same Jesus..
Sunday isn’t holy in america’s catholic and protestant churches because the protestant church led the way..
They followed Rome..
And cynical is a rare kind - one who holds the name Jesus sacred while holding that all the story behind Jesus is counterfeit...
That is why there is some disdain for ‘sacred name’ or Hebrew roots in the comments.
Cynical needs the sacred name of jesus used by Rome to be the only thing Rome and Catholics get right all the while rejecting everything else..
And it is hard to argue because bibles all have the name Jesus... except the fact that a bible could be printed with the name Joshua used throughout the old And new testament thanks to newer translators.. and it wouldn’t change one truth in scripture..
It would mess up Christendom though... all of it..
That is why I made the comment that I met the Savior as Jesus.but He didn’t let me stay there.
Amazing Grace indeed!
(And it was a nice catholic and his rosary beads that helped along the way - no hatred here for catholics- powers and principalities is what we battle)
And Truth is the goal..
Are you saying that using the words the Holy Spirit used is wrong?
No, I am not saying that using the words of the Holy Spirit used is wrong. I fully agree that Mary is the mother of Jesus. I am asking if you agree that Mary is the Mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
That's right! There are people all over who don't know Christ, or accept Him. That's where it's got to be tough, but rewarding! And preaching in the Holy Land! We're each called to serve God, but what a special privilege to be able to go there of all places!
One of my favorite films is, "The Inn of the Sixth Happiness" based on the true story of Gladys Aylward. She was turned down for a missionary journey to China, just prior to the Sino-Japanese War. So she decided to go on her own!
The people were shy of her at first, but she embraced them and their culture. She came to be known as "Jen-Ai" the "One Who Loves People". When the war broke out, she led nearly 100 orphans over rough, hilly terrain, with little food, to the safety of mission miles away.
It's a special calling, that's for sure. And I believe there's a special place in Heaven for people like that! Do you know if there were a lot of young people on that trip? It's always heartening to see them pray and witness. There were "Walks for Life" all week throughout the country. The young who believe in God are our hope for the future and it's a gift to see their enthusiasm!
Thanks, MamaB! God bless you, and may He bless all missionaries! I will keep the group you mentioned in prayer!
There has to be a leader in there somewhere. You learned from someone, did you not?
I was not mind-reading. I was describing her activity.
So, you refused to answer my simple question, and changed the subject.
what blasphemy
She got married to the Holy Spirit??
You guys keep proving what the articles I keep posting saying
It isn’t veneration, t is worship, and that is blasphemy.
I "share" it with what scripture says.
Iēsou - Definition: Jesus; the Greek form of Joshua; Jesus, son of Eliezer; Jesus, surnamed Justus.
>>Can you explain to me how translators have replaced the name Jesus with the non Greco, roman Latin name Joshua in acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8?<<
Because they were referencing a long known individual from the Old Testament known to all as Joshua.
transliterate - to transcribe (a word, etc, in one alphabet) into corresponding letters of another alphabet: the Greek word λογοσ can be transliterated as ``logos''
In Acts 7 and Hebrews 4 they were referring to a known Hebrew man so stayed with the Hebrew understanding of who that person was. In the New Testament they were referring to a New Testament individual.
Yeshua (ישוע, with vowel pointing יֵשׁוּעַ yēūă in Hebrew) was a common alternative form of the name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ ("Yehoshuah" Joshua) in later books of the Hebrew Bible and among Jews of the Second Temple period. The name corresponds to the Greek spelling Iesous, from which, through the Latin Iesus, comes the English spelling Jesus. [Ilan, Tal (2002). Lexicon of Jewish Names in Late Antiquity Part I: Palestine 330 BCE200 CE (Texte und Studien zum Antiken Judentum 91). Tübingen, Germany: J.C.B. Mohr. p. 129.] [Stern, David (1992). Jewish New Testament Commentary. Clarksville, Maryland: Jewish New Testament Publications. pp. 45.]
>> Why the need to change those two verses with the sacred names of Jesus with the unholy name of Joshua?<<
Unholy name? Joshua meant and still means "Yahweh saves" as does the transliteration into English.
If you want to go down the name trail explain to me why the angel said to call Him Iēsoús when is Isaiah 7 it said His name would be Immanuel? Are you in error not calling Him that?
Or so you have been led to believe. Of course is scriptural. Only the pre trib rapture does. All others will run into trouble with the rest of scripture.
I misunderstood the point you were making. Your statement: “We can see that in the corruptions of scripture by the Catholic Church” gave me the impression that you were saying the Catholic translation was twisted, and I didn’t see that much of a difference between the Catholic translation and the Greek. I now see that you were questioning how some Catholics interpret that particular verse to mean that no one should be interpreting scripture. Kind of ironic, isn’t it?
If you can’t see the different meanings, I am not going to point them out to you. There are too many.
Excuse me but isn't it Catholic doctrine that all are born with "Original Sin" therefore the answers to your questions according to Catholic doctrine is that, yes, the babies are sinners. Isn't that the reason that they have to be baptized so quickly? To wipe away the "Original sin"? Why else would you baptize a baby if they weren't "sinners".
No, *Hebrew Roots* is NOT Catholicism.
It’s a bunch of Jewish rabbi wannabe’s, with false prophet Micheal Rood being one of the worst.
Such strident reactions shouldn't, of course, prevent us from at least trying to explain our positions and reasons for rejecting their dogmas - and they ARE solid and Biblical ones. Until and unless God first opens eyes and hearts to the truth of the Gospel of grace, arguing one-on-one may only be like talking to a wall. There is a blindness that outraged Mary devotees don't realize they have. It's a good idea to remember that we are commanded to always "speak the truth in love" and to "answer everyone that asks us of the hope that is within us with gentleness and respect". God will honor our words and His truth WILL reach hearts He has prepared for it.
Catholic tactic.
Accuse someone of something outrageous and then ask them why they believe it and make them waste the next couple years demanding an answer and defending themselves from something they never said.
