So you believe in the blasphemy of "Church Doctrine" written hundreds of years after Jesus Resurrection.


"The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." Jeremiah 7:18

Lets look at the cult of Mary worship and her being the "mother of God. "Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death." Heb. 2:9.

"..made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." Phil. 2:7-8.

"Jesus Christ is come in the flesh." 1 John 4:2
Since Jesus was not divine (Became a servant and a sacrifice) during his human time on earth, Mary was the mother of a human being, not the "mother" of God.

Well yeah -- except, of course, for the blasphemy part.

I didn't realize you were a Jehovah's Witness (or something similar). I wouldn't have wasted your time. Sorry. My understanding was that you said you were Catholic, but now it sounds like you're in the Arian camp, rejecting the Nicene Creed.

You're also not very open in your discourse. For example, you did not quote the beginning of the passage from Phillipians.

In fact, that's what made me think you were a JW. They rarely argue honestly, in my sad experience, though I was able to make friends with one. Generally, again in my experience, their discourse is like nothing so much as that of a used car salesman of the old school. Certainly the way you excerpt Phillipians places you outside the class of people with whom I carry on conversations. I like my conversations to be either polite or informative. This one is neither. God bless ...
