In this video we discuss why all Christians should pray the Rosary.

>Sure,
the Levitical laws -- circumcision, kosher -- don't apply to us.

That's ALL?

ACTS 15:22-29

 ²² Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. ²³ With them they sent the following letter:

   The apostles and elders, your brothers,

   To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:

   Greetings.

 ²⁴ We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. ²⁵ So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— ²⁶ men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. ²⁷ Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. ²⁸ It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: ²⁹ You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.

   Farewell.

She's either alive in Heaven, or alive in Hell. If you're a Christian, you have no other choice.

You've been taught only TWO choices?

Psalm 13:3
Look on me and answer, Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

 

Psalm 90:5
Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death— they are like the new grass of the morning:

 

Daniel 12:2
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.
 
 
John 11:12-13
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.”
Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52
Listen, I tell you a mystery:

We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

 

Ephesians 5:14
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

 

1 Thessalonians 4:13
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
 

[Elsie]

You doubt that Mary is alive in Heaven?

No doubt at all.

(Did you forget purgatory?)

[Elsie]

Uninformed is just as good as misinformed.

Remember:

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.

[Elsie]

The nuns taught me to pray for the souls in Purgatory, so when they get to Heaven, they'll pray for me when I'm in Purgatory.

Any idea just when this will occur?

[Elsie]

But the Bible states that Jesus built his Church on "the rock" Peter, the first Pope.

You really do not care what your Early Church Fathers have said.

Don't worry, as you'll soon be past graveyard so you can stop whistling .

[MayflowerMadam]

“(Did you forget purgatory?)”

LOL! Even God “forgot” purgatory, right? Like Oz or Brigadoon. They don’t exist, either.

You’re well versed in RC-ism. When was purgatory invented? What century?

[Elsie]

You really do not care what your Early Church Fathers have taught or what your current Catechism teaches!

 

 

 

 

PART ONE
THE PROFESSION OF FAITH

 

SECTION TWO
THE PROFESSION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH

 

CHAPTER TWO
I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY SON OF GOD

 

The Good News: God has sent his Son

422 'But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.'¹ This is 'the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God':'² God has visited his people. He has fulfilled the promise he made to Abraham and his descendants. He acted far beyond all expectation - he has sent his own 'beloved Son'.³

423 We believe and confess that Jesus of Nazareth, born a Jew of a daughter of Israel at Bethlehem at the time of King Herod the Great and the emperor Caesar Augustus, a carpenter by trade, who died crucified in Jerusalem under the procurator Pontius Pilate during the reign of the emperor Tiberius, is the eternal Son of God made man. He 'came from God',⁴ 'descended from heaven',⁵ and 'came in the flesh'.⁶ For 'the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father. . . And from his fullness have we all received, grace upon grace.'⁷

424 Moved by the grace of the Holy Spirit and drawn by the Father, we believe in Jesus and confess: 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'⁸ On the rock of this faith confessed by St. Peter, Christ built his Church.⁹

"To preach. . . the unsearchable riches of Christ"¹⁰

425 The transmission of the Christian faith consists primarily in proclaiming Jesus Christ in order to lead others to faith in him. From the beginning, the first disciples burned with the desire to proclaim Christ: "We cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard."'¹¹ It And they invite people of every era to enter into the joy of their communion with Christ:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands, concerning the word of life - the life was made manifest, and we saw it, and testify to it, and proclaim to you the eternal life which was with the Father and was made manifest to us- that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us; and our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ. And we are writing this that our joy may be complete.¹²

At the heart of catechesis: Christ

426 "At the heart of catechesis we find, in essence, a Person, the Person of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Son from the Father. . .who suffered and died for us and who now, after rising, is living with us forever."¹³ To catechize is "to reveal in the Person of Christ the whole of God's eternal design reaching fulfillment in that Person. It is to seek to understand the meaning of Christ's actions and words and of the signs worked by him."'¹⁴ Catechesis aims at putting "people . . . in communion . . . with Jesus Christ: only he can lead us to the love of the Father in the Spirit and make us share in the life of the Holy Trinity."¹⁵

427 In catechesis "Christ, the Incarnate Word and Son of God,. . . is taught - everything else is taught with reference to him - and it is Christ alone who teaches - anyone else teaches to the extent that he is Christ's spokesman, enabling Christ to teach with his lips. . . Every catechist should be able to apply to himself the mysterious words of Jesus: 'My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.'"¹⁶

428 Whoever is called "to teach Christ" must first seek "the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus"; he must suffer "the loss of all things. . ." in order to "gain Christ and be found in him", and "to know him and the power of his resurrection, and [to] share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that if possible [he] may attain the resurrection from the dead".¹⁷

429 From this loving knowledge of Christ springs the desire to proclaim him, to "evangelize", and to lead others to the "yes" of faith in Jesus Christ. But at the same time the need to know this faith better makes itself felt. To this end, following the order of the Creed, Jesus' principal titles - "Christ", "Son of God", and "Lord" (article 2) - will be presented. The Creed next confesses the chief mysteries of his life - those of his Incarnation (article 3), Paschal mystery (articles 4 and 5) and glorification (articles 6 and 7).

Logic is WAY low on the list of things he understands.

[Elsie]

See #170

[Elsie]

But it helps.

MY Jesus needs NO help in saving me!

[Elsie]

WHO?

[MayflowerMadam]

“But it helps.”

Maybe as a placebo for cultists, but it doesn’t REALLY help. (On Judgement Day, it’ll be obvious that placebos will have failed millions of people.)

[Elsie]

However Roman Catholic theology does say the Marian dogmas have to be believed and that you have to go through Mary for salvation.

I can SEE that the PRACTICE of Catholicism indicates this, but I've yet to find any authortative writings from Rome that shows this.

I would LOVE to add it to my collection if/when found!

[Elsie]

God listens to the saints, not to the damned.

Are YOU a'saingt'?

If not, "Are you damned?"

[MayflowerMadam]

“That makes Mary the Queen Mother.”

[SMH]

[Elsie]

No one said that Mary "commands" Jesus. Merely that she influences him.

100% of the time?

[MayflowerMadam]

“Christ forgave Peter, and reaffirmed his position as head of the Church.”

Christ is head of The Church.

Peter is head of a denomination.

[Elsie]

Well; at this time that 200 reply guess for this thread has been shown to be highly underestimated!

It’s up to around 305 as I type this!
