“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.(John 14:16-17 NASB)
If you think Mary can replace the Holy Spirit....good luck with that.
And I agree, the Protestant doctrines of Biblical sufficiency are non-biblical; hence, the multiplicity of Protestant factions as "every man does what's right in his own eyes."
Yeah...and every catholic service around the world, every Sunday school lesson, every article by Msgr Pope, every article on catholicanswers.com, etc, etc, is written from or cleared with the Vatican. LOL!
As was noted so often in the Word...."it is written..."
Technically it does not "burn" but the component materials (Sand, gravel and Portland cement will decompose and melt at various temperatures creating a lava like viscous like substance, when it cools it will no longer have the properties of concrete.
You might want to check that with a few Messianic Jews.
I don’t think we get very far by saying that since Jesus breaks the religious rules of man, therefore we can get away with breaking the rules of God.
By all means. Elaborate, please.
Whoa there....no where does the Word say she is the Blessed Mother.
That's a made up catholic title not supported by the Word.
Google the term. Stop representing things that way.
Those of us who are His all have varying levels of shame. Good news is that He doesn’t hold that against us anymore.
I doubt we can even begin to articulate the grief, relief, or joy we will have when that moment arrives.
Waiting......
Christian Catholics do love the Lord.
What I see in that picture is simply a miracle of God.
There are at least two ways to be blessed; one is derivatively from a creator God, the other way is directly by nature.
This sounds a lot like trying to have one’s cake and eat it too.
Then apparently that King has some trouble getting his edicts out....
The point is that it isn’t just instant glee for a believer.
Nope, some have problems accepting.
At a higher enough temperature it will "melt" into a lava like viscous substance, after it cools it no longer resembles the original object.
We will stand (or kneel) at the Bema Seat of Christ our King, IN HEAVEN after the Rapture and before the marriage IN HEAVEN. And yes, Paul said some would have all their works burned up like wood, hay, and stubble, but the person will be saved as by fire (burning off the dross). Some will have their works refined, like Gold, Silver, and precious stones. But that is the Bema Seat IN HEAVEN. Catholics apparently want to avoid that and instead stand at the Great White Throne of Judgment, and take their chances that they have earned enough to be granted eternal life.
Absolutely!
Eternal is infinite!
I love this picture.It’s a reminder to Pray.
"Replace" is your contrivance, not ours. The only reason I can think of for that sleigh-of-hand is to justify (at least in the mind of the one doing it) an aggressive posture.
IF you ever know The Lord, you will discover that He is the gentle, loving Savior of those with broken and contrite spirit. My King does not dictate to His family, He raises us up in the Way that we should go by the Holy Spirit presence He has placed in us. For illustrations of this phenomenon, see the Day of Pentecost when Peter preached Jesus tot he crowd, and the House of Cornelius when Peter preached the same message and folks were baptized by the Holy Spirit even before he finished his sermon!
