The Worship of Mary? (An Observation)

[Quix]

No. I think the more reliable unrubberized histories make that quite clear enough.

[Philo-Junius]

I’m truly puzzled.

Is there someone who actually wishes to defend the proposition of the infallibility of the KJV translators? On what authority could that possibly be maintained?

[Quix]

No. It’s a form of truth telling designed to put the truth before the lurkers at least near as often as the historical falsehoods; the UnBiblical falsehoods and the like.

I am glad you are safe and back raising our cackles!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Quix]

Sounds like we are in different galactic clusters on opposite sides of the Multi-verse.

BTW, I think the ET’s know I’m off limits by virtue of the Blood fo Jesus.

Symbolicly, according to what I've read from protties here. Fortunately, Catholics have the real thing: "This is my blood, shed for you and for many."

You would be SHOCKED!

In all honesty there is also the fact that the Catholic church coverted millions of people around the world after Jesus' death. Just one example is the apparition of the Virgin of Guadalupe (http://www.michaeljournal.org/guadalupe.htm ) in 1953. It was one of many apparitions in our church history. This was the event that led million of Mexican indians to Jesus.

These people tended to mix there native traditions, which were certainly pagan, with Catholism. Similar tendencies happened in Africa, Asia, and the Americas. I can see how some would see that influence of pagan culture, mixed with their limited Catholic knowledge of the time, and misunderstand Catholic teaching. Some of that mixture of culture and religion exsists to this day. I've seen some distortion of Catholic beliefs in Cuban households. I will certainly, lovingly remind them, that it is NOT Catholic. Those instances are really the exception. The Cathechism of the Catholic Church should clear up any of those doubts. I don't think too many of those who slander the "RC" have bothered to read the Cathechism.

[Judith Anne]

Probably safest that way. But, no matter how far away a person is from Mary, she can still hear the faintest, neediest prayer....trust her, Quix, she’ll help you find Jesus...

Sorry, the Apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the subsequent conversions began in 1531. TYPO

[OLD REGGIE]

Now I can see why that silly book was removed.

It was not removed. It was never accepted as cannonical by the Jews, the only religous authority which had that mandate. Not the Catholics. Not the Protestants. The Jews and only the Jews!

Romans 3:
[1] Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision?
[2] Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews are entrusted with the oracles of God.

To add to the oracles of God given to the Jews is to defy the will of God.

[Judith Anne]

I have no idea what authority they use. Their own interpretation of scripture, whatever authority that is.

[OLD REGGIE]

Does anybody else smell burned hash file or something? I’m getting told there’s a post #1459 but the display stops at #1453. Plus my last attempted reply came up with no addressee.

Catch a giant fish, smoke it, and rub the gall in your eyes. Try it. It is Scripture.

[Petronski]

I will study it and the pdfs. Thanks.

[Philo-Junius]

And bathing seven times in the Jordan will cure leprosy.

That’s biblical, too, isn’t it?

Or should we jettison any of the parts we find to defy our understanding of natural law, like Jefferson?

[Philo-Junius]

The Septuagint, including Tobit, was compiled by Jews from among their holiest writings. It was the closest thing the Jews had to canon, as demonstrated by the strong preference for it in New Testament quotations, until the anti-Christian Pharisees decided, sometime around the turn of the first century, that they needed to reboot the canon by excluding anything which did not meet their carefully contrived arbitrary exclusions.

Preferring the canon of the Pharisees to the canon of the New Testament writers is indeed a strange alley down which to be led in defence of Chritian scriptural authority.

[Uri’el-2012]

I will study it and the pdfs. Thanks.

May Yahshua our wonderful Moshiac bless you and keep you, and may he
cause his face to shine upon you, and grant you his shalom. May our
master, who has already conquered sin, cover Yisrael with divine
protection. May her enemies be scattered and flattened, bowing at the
feet of Yahshua in teshuvah. May they be renewed before it is too late....

[Petronski]

I’ve never observed any “anti-Roman Catholic fetishists” hereon.

Okay, thanks.

[OLD REGGIE]

... regarding a post neither to you, nor about you.

Oh? Then it makes sense that you addressed your reply exclusively to me.

My "cowardly" comment stands.

[OLD REGGIE]

Okay, I've got the intro (which forbids me to copy it on my disk and read it at my leisure.)

Go ahead. Do it. You do have a hard disk out in the boonies don't you? :)
