The Worship of Mary? (An Observation)

[MarDav]

“Do you not think He departed from the Old Testament?”

You seem to have misread me (by quite a bit.) I inferred, suggested no such thing. Let me restate: Jesus did not come to do away with the law but to fulfill the law. Christ came to give understanding to what was at the heart of the law. He did not abolish it. He magnified it, brought it to life (poor phrasing). Let me ask you, do you think that He said or did anything that departed from the Old Testament? If so, what was it? If not, if nothing can be found to show that He did opt for something other than scripture to live His divine life by, then we can conclude that Christ Himself was sola scriptura.

You are the one that said that sola scriptura was biblically inaccurate. I have suggested that the life of Christ reveals your statement to be false. I see you did not cite an instance where He departed from scripture in deference to the traditions of men, but have instead chosen to speak for whatever reason of the importance of Christ’s church. I am speaking of the person of Christ.

“...supercilious, doctrinare, accusations...”

Yes—and let me add: presumptions about the state of another’s soul.

[Petronski]

LOL

I found the tract you quoted.

Here’s the link (read carefully):

It was some time ago. I wish that FR had an in-post search function.

I’ll see what Google can come up with.

Some time ago and you still bear the cross of agony. Get over it.

[Petronski]

Me, then: “Do you not think He departed from the Old Testament?”

You, now: You seem to have misread me (by quite a bit.) I inferred, suggested no such thing.

You, then: ...or show where He departed from scripture by keeping instead to the traditions of men.

Hmmm.

[John Leland 1789]

Does a Catholic protesting at the Republican National Convention make him/her a Protestant?

[Petronski]

I see you did not cite an instance where He departed from scripture in deference to the traditions of men, but have instead chosen to speak for whatever reason of the importance of Christ’s church. I am speaking of the person of Christ.

Here, again, is my reply:

Scripture at that time was the Old Testament. Do you not think He departed from the Old Testament?

And what did He do in His life? Did He write, or did He teach orally?

As for sola scriptura, did Christ come to establish a church that could not function for 1500 years (until the printing press)?

Please.

I would say that it’s not a case of “bearing the cross of agony”, which is a demeaning comment.

I have also been told the same thing by the same poster. It is a matter of having that type of post corrected, as it should be.

I would expect that the repeated manner of posting in which the poster tells others they are going to hell is a matter for correction within the forum guidelines—for the sake of the integrity of the forum. Calling it to attention doesn’t merit a snide evaluation.

Nothing surprises me anymore. by the way, quix is the barbarian, I am the heathen, you can be either the apostate or the heretic.

I'd rather be the winsome dancing girl with an immaculate heart of gold.

Or a stewardess.

[John Leland 1789]

What is the term for someone who protests the Protestants?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Shots included?

[Petronski]

If they’re protesting the Catholic Church, yeah, I’d say so.

[Petronski]

What is the term for someone who protests the Protestants?

Biblically well-educated.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

You can be our “beloved infidel”, how’s that?

Oooh, that's a good one. I'd take that if I were you, Mary. You can always trade up for something at a later date. To a flirty Pharisee, perhaps.

[papertyger]

“Did Jesus live by the traditions of men or “by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God?”

Now, prove every "Word" was written in the Bible.

Jesus Himself lived a sola scriptura life.

Then why didn't he tell anyone beside John to write anything down? Don't you think if it was that important He would have told us to follow the book that would be written?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Catholics are not burdened by the false teaching known as sola scriptura.

LOL. Perfect.

[Petronski]

LOL. Perfect.

You find slander very funny. "Perfect," in fact.

[papertyger]

And the subject of "tradition," when treated by our Saviour during His earthly ministry, does not fare so well.

So where's His command to ammend the Scriptures and make them the highest authority.

If it were that important, don't you think we'd have been given unambiguous instructions?

[Dr. Eckleburg]

DR.E: We are "consecrated to Mary?!?"

PETRONSKI: Nope. Doesn't say that.

Of course it does, in black and white.

Perhaps you didn't read the excerpt which says exactly that.

Our very consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary calls upon us to make reparation for the offenses that we and others have committed against her.

Are you consecrated to Mary, Petronski?

[TASMANIANRED]

You can call Christ a liar if you wish, if that is your personal interpretation, but you do it at your own peril.
