The Worship of Mary? (An Observation)

[Petronski]

There's no rule that says anyone MUST post the footnote numbers.

I didn't say anything about any rules. I refuted your false claim that you posted the exact words of the Catechism.

[Quix]

Reference by a pope, once or a hundred times, does not Catholic doctrine make.

= = =

However, it’s a lot different than a couple of altar boys dreaming up new RC dogma.

Well this seems to border on making it personal

So you’re not going to ask?

Okay, I’ll ask.

Dr. Eckleburg, did Mary have the free will to say “no” to becoming the mother of Christ?

[Petronski]

If “Co-redemptrix” is doctrine of the Catholic Church, you can prove it.

[Petronski]

RCC catechism

Again with the allergy to capitalizing proper nouns related to Catholicism.

Honoring the bible is unbiblical?

Adding to the Bible is not "honoring" it; it's attempting to give your own words the legitimacy of Scripture.

There is a lot more scripture about honoring scripture than about honoring mary.

And there is absolutely NO Scripture making sola scriptura a legitimate doctrine of the Church.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I didn't say "could have," I said "could."

Alrighty then. Let's correct my response according to your instruction...

PETRONSKI: So it is possible He could do whatever He wanted, despite what He would later write in the New Testament.

DR.E: If you base your faith on what Christ could have done do rather than on what He did do, well, good luck with that.

Christ could have turned turn Himself into a rooster and crowed at every dawn, but I doubt He did does.

Any way you want to write the tense, your comment is still meaningless.

That is why God gave us the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit and new eyes and new ears and a new heart and a renewed mind -- so men can understand the truth of Christ risen...even without a dictionary.

Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhh

Sure. Prayers.

The meaning eludes you, but it is there.

It is not “making it personal” for the same reason. He accuses a group whether actual or theoretical, not another Freeper specifically. If a post exists on this forum, or a website linked to this forum, which attaches that label to a specific Freeper there will be consequences.

[papertyger]

Read what was said before that so you can understand the post. Cheezzzz.

What are you claiming I missed?

[1000 silverlings]

okay, thank you very much

[Quix]

I have always loved the RC’s I’ve known in and out of the RC edifice.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

I think there's a Scripture about 'their own words shall condemn them.'

Yes, and those words were spoken by that son of the "Queen of Heaven," so I hope they count for something, since the "Queen of Heaven" didn't say them herself (although we're told she "cooperated" in them)...

"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:36-37

Sometimes, I think the RC edifice is an institution built on wiggle room.

I'm seeing that here too.

[netmilsmom]

>>Do you really not understand how this kind of meaningless back-and-forth is just deflecting any real discussions of the words themselves and what they actually mean?

Thankfully, anyone reading these posts can see what’s occuring...over and over and over.<<

Yup and the people reading this, who have any doubts can go back to the thread and read for themselves!!! Let the credibility show from the actual posts.

That thread is “Do Protestants consider Roman Catholics Christians?”

And my Dear Sister in Christ, just remember, it was not I who brought the whole thing up. But it is I that will direct posters to the ACTUAL thread to see for themselves.

[dan1123]

How was disrespecting her wishes in front of a crowd following the spirit of “honour thy father and thy mother?” What higher point would have been made by that?

Fulfillment of the Law by the One True Lamb in the final act of God in the salvation of humanity is not a "higher point" than "honoring Mary"? Who is Mary compared to God?

[papertyger]

What do you call a piece of wood?

A book.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

The children of Israel wanted a god they could control, so they collected all of their gold and made a calf.

RC's want to avoid God, so they hide behind Mary's skirt, not daring to peek out at what really happened throughout redemptive history.

I fear for their eternal destiny.

Yep. Thankfully we know it's all in His hands.

"For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

For he that is dead is freed from sin.

Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord." -- Romans 6:5-11
