Mary, Mother of God

[Gamecock]

Very little of RC doctrine is supported by Scripture, and then things that are clearly laid out in Scripture are glossed over.

[metmom]

Do not call any man on earth *Father*......

[Iscool]

The Word Trinity does not appear in the Bible either. If all you have are insults and bad theology, you've obviously strayed very far from God.

We don't need the word Trinity to understand the 'Godhead'...

[Elsie]

How do you guys get away with harassing our FR Catholics?

[Elsie]

To call Mary the "Mother of God" must not be understood as a claim for Mary's motherhood of divinity itself, but in the sense that Mary was mother of Jesus, who is truly God.

It's called Mission Creep.

Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven, whose ssins you shall retain, they are retained...

Doesn't your priest ever tire of your needing absolution of this arrogance thing you can't seem to shed?

[Elsie]

Art did all the work and didn’t get credit for it?

It has always amazed me how racist these protestant groups can be.

The world awaits Rome's equivalent of Obama.

Oh...

Wait...

[HossB86]

*Rapture* and *sola Scriptura* don’t appear explicitly as words in the Bible and for that reason alone, both doctrines are disqualified by Catholics as being legitimate, but when it’s a doctrine they want to embrace, they are more than willing to ignore the fact that the word is not found directly in the Bible and accept contextual and circumstantial Scriptural support for it.

That is called a double standard aka hypocrisy.

Hmmm. You must mean words like *Purgatory* and *Pope* and *indulgence* and *transubstantiation* -- and probably a whole lot more!

:D

So, you are claiming those from the OPC or PCA are in doctrinal agreement with the PCUSA? If you believe that, you are fooling only yourself.

If someone is a Presbyterian and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?

[Elsie]

That being said, thank you for not including me and some of my fellow Christians as a "scourge on humanity"

I think I know where MormonISM got some of it's tactics...

Brigham Young stated this repeatedly:

"When the light came to me I saw that all the so-called Christian world was grovelling in darkness" (Journal of Discourses 5:73);

"The Christian world, so-called, are heathens as to the knowledge of the salvation of God" (Journal of Discourses 8:171);

"With a regard to true theology, a more ignorant people never lived than the present so-called Christian world" (Journal of Discourses 8:199);

"And who is there that acknowledges [God's] hand? ...You may wander east, west, north, and south, and you cannot find it in any church or government on the earth, except the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints" (Journal of Discourses , vol. 6, p.24);

"Should you ask why we differ from other Christians, as they are called, it is simply because they are not Christians as the New Testament defines Christianity" (Journal of Discourses 10:230)

2 Peter 3:16 indirectly addresses protestants.

Matthew 23:9 directly addresses Catholics..

[Elsie]

As I said I will pray that the Holy Spirit comes into your heart and softens it.

Be very careful; as it appears that some kind of spirit will get into a persons head; instead.

[Elsie]

Yet, millions have it drilled into their head so that that can't think for themselves.

Matthew 6:7
And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.

[ealgeone]

Yet when words that define Jesus as first born (protokos) in Luke's account indicating just that...He is Mary's first born which leaves open the door for other children and then in John 3:16 where the greek word for only, unique (monogene) is used to describe Jesus as the only begotten Son of God, that is to say there are no other Sons of God, are used they are ignored....and by people who claim to know the Greek!

I have yet to hear a catholic address this aspect of the Greek.

[Syncro]

Not to mention (paraphrase) **don’t answer the question they ask, answer the question they should have asked**

[HossB86]

She is also the Mother of God.

So, you believe God has a beginning and must be born to exist?

Hoss

[Syncro]

Very good thanks!

[Bayard]

Around you go. God has no beginning or end. This has nothing to do with the title of Mother of God.
