It's called paraphrasing.

It is called mischaracterization of the original statement, and it is dishonest.

It never would have come to my mind if I didn't hear it from an RC. So who is the pervert?

Well the "who's the petty PeeWee Herman clone" question sure has been answered.

Don't bother with the "I know you are, but what am I" schtick...I know, I know.

>>I don’t want anyone praying for me who does not believe that God heals and that He WILL heal. He’s doing something new and for the first time I have the faith to believe that I will be healed. Now it may be through surgery or it may be a divine healing. Of course, I prefer the divine...LOL<<

I believe it is God’s will to heal if He wants to.
Sometimes He doesn’t heal for a reason.

Thy will be done.....

show me where it says that in the bible?

and exactly how does she ‘intercede’?

does she call up the big guy and say “hey, I got a special request from Mr.K, so can you take care of this for me”

or what?

and what does ‘intercede’ mean? I thought we are supposed to worship God, not send him our christmas lists?

Just curious

I thank God and give Him alone the credit for my healing. I may thank others for their kindness in remembering me.

As I asked your co-argumentrix, please respond to this statement:

It is impossible for God to heal someone at the behest of one of His saints in heaven.

So you're saying "you will conceive" is not clear?

If I say "you will post again," is that a command or a prediction?

>>God, not send him our christmas lists?<<

Geez, why not? You don’t get if you don’t ask.

And BTW I have a king size bed I’m trying to sell on Craigslist. Why not ask God to put his blessing on the sale? His Will be done!

If it doesn’t work out, at least I know that there is a reason for it that I don’t know about....

God graciously made Mary an offer she couldn't and wouldn't refuse.

You make the Holy Spirit a rapist. Revolting.

the Eucharist can’t save you. When I perceive that error, I speak out against it, not to hurt anyone but to speak truth.

But what if you're not speaking the truth? And in this case, you are not according to the Words of Christ himself.

See tagline.

It doesn't say that in the Bible. It doesn't have to.

Anything else?

Isis was worshipped openly in Rome, well into the 5th century AD. Her symbol as was the symbol of all "The Queens of Heaven" was the crescent of Venus, therefore you get horns.

The pagan nature goddesses have all been made into Mary to blend the various pagan religions into a syncretic Christianity. "Juan Diego" was the anonymous "John Doe"representing everyman

Message of Our Lady June 7, 2008

“Dear children, I am with you by the grace of God, to make you great - great in faith and love - all of you! You whose heart has been hard as a stone by sin and guilt, but you devout souls, I desire to illuminate with a new light. Pray that my prayer may meet open hearts that I may be able to illuminate them with the strength of faith and open the ways of love and hope. Be persevering. I will be with you. ”

Those in Heaven are "dead"?

I agree that Israel is usually spoken of here, especially in Revelations.
