>>read about your first pope<<
Peter? Well he had his faults but Christ trusted him.
You have me confused with someone else, FRiend. You post'em and we'll talk.
Hopefully you are searching the scriptures to see if the things we say are true.
I do, and they aren't.
LOL
There is no such Catholic title to diminish.
Likewise, the RCC catechism is thankfully written in black and white...
Yet still is subjected to the grossest distortions imaginable. Here's an example: You posted.
969 Taken up to heaven she (Mary) did not lay aside this saving office but by ther manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation.
But here is the entirety of 969:
969 "This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation . . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."512
You gave no indication you had redacted the paragraph, you just pulled it out of context and posted it.
Yes, just now.
Then NAME them, be specific.
Wrong. What each of us "knows" is everything.
I "know" my faith in Christ is a gift from God. I "know" I am saved by Christ's obedience, Christ's righteousness, Christ's one-time sacrifice on the cross which paid for every one of my sins. I know Christ is the ONLY redeemer.
Like Paul, I "know whom I have believed" because God has graciously, freely, mercifully regenerated my dead heart and renewed my wandering mind to focus on Christ alone risen from the cross.
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." -- Titus 3:5-7"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
What you "know" is something else altogether.
“distractions, diversions, clutter in the picture . . .
?HELP?”
Which photographs in your collection do you value more: the carefully posed close-ups, or the candid shots which put the subject in context?
1 Cor 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
And didn't hear from you again.
Obviously it was posted from a website that heavily redacts the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Or more likely she did that herself. Look at what was redacted:
This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect.
Yep, that's the part that states Mary consented at the Annunciation...definitely impossible in the dark no-free-will Calvinist world of the OPC. Also redacted:
Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix."512
Notice that co-redemptrix is NOT listed. Nope, can't post that!
It really is laughable AND sad at the same time.
You do the opposite of the Father's will you are doing the work of Satan no matter what. You become an adversary to God the Father plain and simple. If my parents would want me to become an adversary against God I would tell them off. Would I be breaking a commandment? The Pharisees and Sadduccess would think so.
Great points you've made in these exchanges.
I asked yesterday and have not yet received a response, but why is it that someone who is such a devout adherent to the 16th Century invention called "sola scriptura" so frequently quoting from books other than the Bible?
False. I can't give a verse that doesn't exist, i.e. "show me where the Bible says to pray to Mary."
Other than that, I think your imagination is working overtime.
>>Wrong. What each of us “knows” is everything.<<
GREAT! Could you pass along the Powerball numbers for this week?
I’ll split it with you!
Then POST THE LINK, because to make such a blatantly outrageous claim without proof is bearing false witness.
Well maybe inadvertantly you have just proven that praying to Mary is unbiblical.
Here it is again:
>>I asked yesterday and have not yet received a response, but why is it that someone who is such a devout adherent to the 16th Century invention called “sola scriptura” so frequently quoting from books other than the Bible? <<
Hmmmm, a puzzling question.
You’re still assuming. Plain and simple.
Peter is not Mary.
It’s always interesting to notice which questions go unanswered.
