Uh, excuse me....this is a SPECIFIC COMMAND, EINSTEIN. The rest of the time it is THOU SHALT NOT MAKE UNTO THEE ANY GRAVEN IMAGE!!!!!! UNLESS YOU CAN GIVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT YOU ARE COMMANDED TO IN THE NT, YOU ARE SIMPLY WRONG.

It is nice to know Calvin cleansed the churches by smashing the demonic icons and organs. Unfortunately, it needs to be done again.

[rwfromkansas]

So freaking what? This does not give support to the idea that a PRIEST CAN ABSOLVE PEOPLE OF SINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't you people have brains, or just jello?

[grumpster-dumpster]

And your posts have given me a profound insight as to why when faced with overwhelming evidence... the jury still failed to convict O.J.!

Sorry, smedly... It's posters like this I was talking about earlier!

[rwfromkansas]

I saw your Scripture....it in no way supports your views.

[dansangel]

Oh now I get it....bye-bye!

[rwfromkansas]

BTW, nice try putting in Tobias, but I don't read books that are not part of the Spirit-filled Canon.

[Notwithstanding]

Stop trying to use our secret Catholics-only Bible verses to instruct a protestant in the ways of Christ. ;^}

Very good Smedley. Now where does scripture tell men to repeat this Hail Mary for their own salvation? Or does it?

Do you have to be told everything in the Bible specifically?

In that case, where are the prayers you yourself say? Are they word-for-word in the Bible?

[rwfromkansas]

You are not told exactly what to say, but God does ordain in His Word the different things you are to do in worship. Hail Mary's are not involved and any attempt at saying they are ordained in Scripture AT ALL is extremely dumb and full of the devil.

[Notwithstanding]

I greet and ask my friends for thier prayers for my salvation ALL THE TIME. Most Christians do. Why you refuse to follow greet Mary and ask her for her prayers for your salvation is beyond me.

Can you imagine Jesus breaking the 10 commandments by refusing to honor His mother? Since Jesus obviously honored His mother, we all should follow his lead.

It happens EVERY TIME!

It is unusual that people are so seemingly obsessed with attacking the beliefs of others. Perhaps their doubts about their own beliefs cause them to keep occupied at the task.

Thank you for your thoughtful analysis and critique. God Bless you.

Really. The first part of the Hail Mary is from Luke:
Hail, Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

The second part is asking her to pray for us.

What's wrong with repeating scripture, and asking someone to pray for you? I don't see the devil in that at all.

Then you best tear up your photo ID driver's license, the wedding photos and your kids school pictures. Also, throw out any magazines and newspapers.

The straws you fakers pull at to try to shoot down Christ's Church are so predictable and lame.

[Notwithstanding]

That's right - I forgot that only YOUR pope gets to decide what's in the bible!!

[sinkspur]

Hey twerp. (You are a twerp, at 18).

Cool it. You're proving why Catholics on Free Republic maintain that some of the "Reformed" are suffering from guilt over having rejected Catholicism.

In fact, you're the guiltiest. Your venom on this thread is totally out proportion to the views being calmly discussed by Catholics.

You're from the crowd that burned the witches here in the States, aren't you?

See how that works?

I'm sick to death of you holier-than-thou types bashing Catholics. We don't come to your threads and ridicule your beliefs, do we?

Just check out one of RnMomo7's threads. Nary a Catholic, unless we're attacked (which we frequently are).

Learn some manners, guppy.

[rwfromkansas]

Yawn.

Yep, Mary said it. Duh. Even I knew that. What I was saying is that unless you can show me that it is God's will that we say the Hail Mary, it is not supported by Scripture and you thus are sinning by doing so in worship.

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Your post is so funny I can't contain my enjoyment with your idiocy.

How very Christian of you. It's always a pleasure to be able to use Sacred Scripture to put heretics in their proper place.

[rwfromkansas]

Utter nonsense. God forbids graven images like statues.
