The Worship of Mary? (An Observation)

[wagglebee]

No, those verses have ALWAYS been there.

[trisham]

Do you believe that by reading that I will see that it is justifiable scripture and belongs in my bible?

*****************

You had a question. I offered you an answer.

Have a good day.

[trisham]

What is this perverted protestant obsession on this topic? Of all the crass, horrible trains of thought...that level of evil boggles the mind.

***************

Agreed.

And don’t forget, she is apparently the woman in Genesis, and therefore Christ’s “wife”. Man, the convolutions this theology takes

[Petronski]

LOL. It's not the reformed who disbelieve God's word or think they know more than He does...

It is the "reformed" who call Christ a liar for his instructions and commands at the Last Supper, not the Catholics.

...or presume to take the glory that belongs to God alone and carelessly disperse it among the creatures as if it were their own.

The Catholic Church doesn't teach that either.

And don’t forget, she is apparently the woman in Genesis, and therefore Christ’s “wife”.

WHO has said this?

Genesis 3:15 refers to "the woman" and "her Seed." The Seed is quite obviously the Child of the woman.

Who is the woman, who is the Seed?

If these "names" are from private replies or email I agree with you completely.

I've recently had a FReepmail from a Catholic poster who admonished me for something I wrote in a private FReepmail addressed to someone else.

I FReepmailed back asking how that person was able to read my private FReepmail.

Their response was "I got it from someone else."

So there does seem to be some duplicity going around. Pretty tacky. The funny thing is there is nothing in FReepmail I would be afraid to say on the open forum.

Are you an undercover Dominican?

LOL. I think that's the M.O of the Society of Jesuits.

Are you currently in the witness protection program?

That would explain a lot. 8~)

Some of the biggest influences in Catholics are the apparitions of Jesus and Mary. The apparition of Guadalupe in the 1500's AD, converted millions to Jesus. They continue to this day. The apparition of Our Lady in Medjugorje, in 1981, warned us about the threat of communism.

Message of May 25, 2008 "Dear children! In this time of grace, when God has permitted me to be with you, little children, I call you anew to conversion. Work on the salvation of the world in a special way while I am with you. God is merciful and gives special graces, therefore, seek them through prayer. I am with you and do not leave you alone. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Please take time to review the apparitions and the messages. She loves us all, even if we don't love her back. She always leads us to Jesus. http://www.apparitions.org/

Sorry that I can't figure out the HTML links right now, I have baby on my lap.

I'm still looking for someone to explain to me why all these "apparitions" or depictions thereof, have the Egyptian Goddess Hathor's global ball and horns. Maybe you know

[Antoninus]

Looks like Antoninus clearly is suggesting he says "thank you to them" if he recovers.

Your doctorate is obviously in misinterpretation. Nowhere did I say that the prayers of the the saints heal you. God heals. The prayers of the saints (both on earth and in heaven) simply ask God to heal. By what authority do you say that God is deaf to the prayers of his saints?

There's nothing stopping you from posting that private message now.

Such grand hypocrisy, huh?

They gag on "do this," then try to push "remembrance" down everyone's throat.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

lol. Anyone who can read knows what the sentence said.

Geesh. This gets sillier all the time. Thank God for paper trails and post 1,832.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Anything you say. Then I will assume you will refer to me as Dr. Eckleburg every time you mention my name.

[OLD REGGIE]

Of course if the Blessed Mother was incapable of declining this would mean that she also lacked free will and would therefore be incapable of committing sin.

Of course if there was any possibility whatsoever that she would decline it would mean God did not know what was going to happen.

Do you remember the angel telling Mary "you will conceive...".

[Petronski]

Yes, thank God for paper trails. They show how you mischaracterized his words

[mgist]

Your awesome!

[wagglebee]

So, you’re saying that Mary had no free will?
