Do you also believe yall worship the same God??

[terycarl]

You sure you want to stick with the rcc's position on these issues?

Of course....Christ promised that His church would be infallible.

[HossB86]

The Catholic church, which is the ONLY organization on Earth originated by Christ has the sole authority to interpret the Bible and the ONLY infallible teaching authority ever....They have determined, and teach, that Mary was assumed into Heaven....I'll buy that.

You owe me a new laptop. That made me spew my drink!

Sheesh.

That purchase won't get you very much.

[HossB86]

Scary, huh?

The Catholic church, which is the ONLY organization on Earth originated by Christ has the sole authority to interpret the Bible and the ONLY infallible teaching authority ever.... Now you KNOW you've upset our FR Mormons with this bold and exclusive statement!!

Catholics said it 1800 years before Mormans....we win!!!!

[Arthur McGowan]

And who, in the New Testament, is constantly called “Lord”? Nobody but God. A few humans in positions of authority are addressed as “Lord.” But so is Christopher Monckton.

I didn’t say that “Kyrios” is TRANSLATED “God,” or MEANS “God.” I said that when Elizabeth calls Mary “the mother of my Lord,” Elizabeth is asserting that Mary is the mother of God.

[Mark17]

Jesus was a man...He founded the Catholic religion

I disagree. I am just not into man made, works based religions. You can do that if you want. That's on you. I just don't plan on getting into it myself. I think I probably told you about 65.432678 million times, that we will just have to agree to disagree. Besides that, I don't care what people think about a whole range of issues. All I really care about, is that I want to know what is your plan of salvation? How are you going to make it? Judging from the past, I would say that most likely, your plan of salvation is different than mine. Once again, that's on you

Els, I know you told me about a billion times not to exaggerate, but sometimes I just can't help it. 😆😃😀

[Arthur McGowan]

Because laws are made for most people, not special cases.

Jesus was BAPTIZED—with John’s baptism of repentance. Do you conclude from this fact that Jesus was a sinner?

[verga]

You are wrong, Jesus does not lie.

[Arthur McGowan]

You think Mary was not a Jew?

[Arthur McGowan]

Tell me which of the following syllogism are valid, and which are invalid. If you are capable of doing so, that will demonstrate that you can recognize the fallacy of the undistributed middle. If you can’t, you can’t.

A:
Dorothy is the mother of Sam.
Sam is a fireman.
Dorothy is the mother of a fireman.

B:
Evelyn is the mother of a fireman.
Gordon is a fireman.
Evelyn is the mother of Gordon.

C:
Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God.
Mary is the mother of God.

D:
Mary is the Mother of God.
The Trinity is God.
Mary is the Mother of the Trinity.

[ealgeone]

You’re right.....Jesis does not lie. Man on the other hand......

[ealgeone]

A reading of the text in Matthew makes it clear. As does a reading of Luke and Leviticus make it clear Mary and Joseph offered a sin offering.

Admit it Arthur, the texts are solidly against Mary being sinless.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Try your Romish “Mother of GOD” on a Muslim and see the reaction!

What's your point?

Why do you put "Mother of God" in scare quotes?

Isn't Jesus, God?

Wasn't Mary His mother?

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Do you also believe yall worship the same God??

No.

Catholics, Orthodox and most Protestants are Trinitarians (i.e., one exception is Oneness Pentacostalism which is monotheistic but rejects the Trinity, which they describe as "a tradition of men.").

Mohammedans are monotheists, but not Trinitarians.

[ealgeone]

The CCC of the RCC disagrees with you....or rather, you disagree with the CCC of the RCC.

[Arthur McGowan]

I never said they didn’t offer a sin offering.

I said they did so because the LAW required it.

Obeying the LAW was not a personal confession of sin.

[ealgeone]

The Law noted it was a sin offering. IT is called that for a reason.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."330

This means that the Mohammedans hold an incomplete image of God. Obviously, they're not Trinitarians, since they reject the divinity of Christ. When they acknowledge "the Creator" and "mankind's judge," they are acknowledging the God of Christianity, although with an imperfect understanding.

The same could be said of the ancient Greeks who only knew God as the "Prime Mover." Inasmuch as they acknowledged the Prime Mover, they were acknowledging God, but with an imperfect understanding. St. Paul said as much.

Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: “People of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. So you are ignorant of the very thing you worship—and this is what I am going to proclaim to you.

[ealgeone]

That's not how I, and a lot of others, read it.

and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day
