Relax, sweetheart.
Don’t think I’ve broken a sweat all day.
Have been particularly calm this evening and especially after my shower here in my Laz-Y-Boy.
My mind’s been extra boggled at some of the incredible hogwash on yet another preposterous RC cult thread . . . but I guess I need to get used to escalating levels of hogwash on such threads from the RC magicsterical sources and reps.
Lately it seems like you're taking the low road, Annalex. Some of us might be inclined to call you "Anna" again, so let's drop the personal remarks and keep this polite.
Please show me God’s Word that forbids asking Mary to intercede..
“When Paul says to us in 1 Timothy 2:5 — “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, Christ Jesus,” he is clearly illustrating that there is ONLY one mediator, just like there is ONLY one God.”
Strawman, good Dr., in no doctrine does it require you to pray through Mary to pray to Christ. I pray to Christ all the time without Mary’s intercession. You’ve heard of the Lord’s Prayer. Something we share in common.
Enough of these peripherals Dr., respond to the post about the Bread of Life...if you don’t feeled compelled to, pray about it.
More to the point, it is best to stay off the moderators' radar. Both the one asked not to ping - and the one asking - are better off settling it without involving the moderators.
Calling an impressionable young girl “sweetheart” is low road? Want to know what I think of Calvin, again?
“isn’t the obvious point that inanimate objects toughed by Jesus are to be venerated as relics?”
I thought the point of blessing the loaves and fishes was so they could be eaten with thanksgiving. I don’t think the hungry crowd took them home to spread flowers around them.
Excellent; this is the rule I have followed all along.
Hey don’t knock Calvin.
He actually believed in the Eucharist. “So great a Mystery, I cannot speak of it”
Well, the bread was given to be eaten — but the disciples also were told to collect the crumbs, perhaps for that reason.
... and he venerated Mary. But we know him for his fruit, which is not at all pleasant.
How about Acts 2:37-38, in context with Jerimiah 31:33?
I will disagree with you on Jerimiah, but will agree on Acts if you define the word repent in a Judaic context. By that I mean, repentance being a rejection of past thinking about who Jesus was and a real belief in who he is and what he accomplished at the Cross and in the Resurrection.
The idea that we need to do works and obey laws is after not before, or during, our being saved.
“but the disciples also were told to collect the crumbs, perhaps for that reason.”
Well, they did put crumbs of manna in the ark so you may be right here.
The Church does not teach that.
So you're saying All power is NOT to Christ Jesus?
Amazing. Utterly amazing.
You make Jesus Christ a liar, mocking him.
Good luck with that.
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain." -- Galatians 2:20-21
It is so clear "believe", just believe everything else will follow. The key to the kingdom is the indwelling Holy Spirit which is in in all believers.
We preach Christ Crucified and we are called foolish or lacking sophistication on these threads. You've seen it happen several times. It's even more sad than putting flowers on the feet of a statue on Resurrection Sunday.
...to do the will of the Father is work.
God Bless you, you're almost there.
John 6:28 Then they said to Him,"What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom he sent."
All the earthly things you worry about are the things that reveal Faith. They do nothing to save you. All you have to do is believe The Gospel God takes care of the rest.
You might want to go back and reread those posts. I was correct and the quote showed it.
Thank you for your honesty. I think he was probably there at some time, but never really as a bishop. If that were so there would have been some kind of record.
As soon as you start referring to "tradition" I skip the rest. No offense intended, but I could say it is a Baptist tradition that we were the church that baptized Jesus. It was John the Baptist after all and it is tradition. Doesn't make it true, does it?
