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

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 ...

JW are as whacked out as those who believe Mary is the "mother" of God. Try again.

As far as topic of Mary you seem to skirt issues by calling me a JW or regurgitating Doctrine while ignoring scripture. The passage in Phil dealt with the aspect of Jesus entering into solidarity with human beings and becoming fully one of them. Jesus was setting out to do the will of His Father.

Since the will of God was for Jesus to become human, God needed a surrogate mother. That is when Mary comes into play.

Try answering some of my previous questions too, like why did Mary need a sin offering for instance? Or point to scripture saying Mary was without sin and exempt from original sin?

Please quit the name games as well and accusing me of belonging to perverted Churches. I still go to Mass, only I study scripture and take Church Doctrine with a heavy grain of salt.
