Mary, Mother of God, The Greatest of all Her Titles

[Arthur McGowan]

Jesus Christ is God, the Second Person of the Trinity.

Mary is the mother of Jesus Christ.

Thus, Mary is the mother of God, the Second Person of the Trinity.

Catholics pray Through Mary

Mary is asleep in her tomb; wherever that may be.

She does NOT hear you; nor speak FOR you.

If you have any evidence to dispute these facts; please present it to the jury.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

America NEEDS Fatima? You A MUSLIM?

Bishop Sheen speculated that the Marian apparitions at Fatima would have something to with the conversion of Mohammedans, since the Mohammedans hold Mary in high esteem.

Great video of an old talk by Bishop Sheen.

What kind of BLINDNESS convinces a person that GOD needed a MOTHER?

He needed a mother to nurse him, to hold him, to feed him, to change his diaper, etc.

What kind of person could fail to understand that a baby, a toddler, a child needs a mother?

[Elsie]

If you deny that Jesus Christ, the man who was born of Mary and lived in Nazareth, is God, the Second Person of the Trinity, then you are not a Christian, but have invented a new religion for yourself.

If you deny that Mary, an unknown Jewish girl until an ANGEL visited her, added MORE than FLESH to the Second part of the Trinity (which pre-existed her by ETERNITY), then you are a CATHOLIC, and have accepted a different gospel.

[Elsie]

Since the incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, is God, and Mary conceived and gave birth to him, and because he is ONE PERSON, Mary is the mother of God.

Every time you say your MANTRA: Hail Mary; Mother of GOD...

...you'll be thinking of me...

[Elsie]

“The Lord” is another name for God.

I suggest you check the Greek on that.

[Elsie]

Speklatin’ shor is fun; ain’t it!

[Arthur McGowan]

The angel said to Mary that she was “full of grace.”

You know. Without sin.

Of course, what does the angel Gabriel know?

[Arthur McGowan]

Oh. When people refer to “the Lord,” who are they talking about?

[Elsie]

What kind of person could fail to understand that a baby, a toddler, a child needs a mother?

What kind of Christian could fail to understand that a GOD does not need a mother?

Jesus could have gotten His 'flesh' the same way ADAM did: dust.

He could have been like Melchizedek ...

In Heb. 7:3, Melchizedek is depicted as being "Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life"

[Elsie]

Without the non-biblical phrase, "Mother of GOD", Rome's Mary loses her powers to intervention in the lives Rome's subjects.

Cling to her dead, lifeless breast; the paps that once gave suck.

As A PROT; I'll pass on the offering.

[Elsie]

As A PROT; I'll pass on the offering; choosing instead...

"On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."

[Arthur McGowan]

No Catholic has ever said that Mary is the origin of the eternal God.

Mary became the mother of Jesus Christ at the moment of his conception, in her womb.

Because Jesus Christ is God, Mary is called the Mother of God.

No one has ever said that Mary is in some way the origin or source of the eternal God or any one of the persons of the Trinity.

Saying that “I reject the notion that Mary is the Mother of God because Mary did not pre-exist God” is like saying, “I reject the notion that the earth is round because fire engines are red.”

Mary did not, of course, pre-exist God. Mary became the Mother of God at the moment she became the mother of Jesus, which occurred when she conceived him in her womb.

[Elsie]

You know. Without sin.

Rome states. Tain't so.

Sinless folks do NOT need a Savior.

Sinless Mary??

 

 

Luke 2:22-24

 

When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”

 

Leviticus 12:7-8

 

Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

[Elsie]

Oh. When people refer to “the Lord,” who are they talking about?

Check the Greek.

We're talking FACTS here; not specklatin' on what other folks talk about.

[Arthur McGowan]

Of course, God CAN do anything. He COULD have come into the world without a mother.

But he DIDN’T.

[Arthur McGowan]

The Law prescribed that a sin offering be made.

Therefore, a sinless person would OBEY THE LAW.

[Arthur McGowan]

You constantly refer to deceased people as unequivocally “dead.”

How can you call yourself a Christian when you hold, with atheists, that deceased people no longer exist?

[Arthur McGowan]

I didn’t mean people in Cleveland. I meant people in the gospels.
