Your own Bible has saved, not being saved. You even reject your own Bible!
AMEN, ftd!!!
Any lie to preserve men's ability to save themselves, and to confuse, blur and meld justification with sanctification.
God knows who are His, and by the grace of God, each of them one day knows it, too, when the Holy Spirit gives them new eyes and new ears and a new heart and a renewed mind and rebirths their fallen nature.
Christ on the cross is not just a suggestion; it's wiping the slate clean for all those who have been mercifully graced by God with faith alone in Christ alone.
Men are justified one time for all their sins by Christ on the cross; men are progressively sanctified for their entire lives by the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Acts 15:24 is saying that the new Christian Church does not require its members to keep to the Jewish law.
28-29 is saying that the new Christian Church does have rules and regulations that the members must follow.
Isn't he the one who led the Inquisition?
Nice comeback.
I express my gratitude to God and also the hope that I will be with Him forever and you post this.
So be it.

Matthew 7:6
Faith by reason?
= = =
Noooooooooooooooo, NOT by a long shot . . .
—faith by irrational rubber histories
—faith by irrational rubber ‘Bible.’
—faith by irrational magicsterical power-mongering elitists committee
—faith by white hanky worship
—faith by fantasy
—faith by apparition
—faith by !!!!TRADITION!!!!
—faith by Pomp and Circumstance!
—faith by indulgences
—faith by extrapolation and inference
—faith by audacity
—. . .
They never got close to faith by reason . . . much, much less faith alone in Christ’s Blood.
***Faith by reason?***
By the authority of Christ.
Many RC’s are artists at
obscuring shreds of authentic faith in God Alone
by all manner of noise, trappings, idolatries, blaphemies, rationalizations, hogwash, magisterical rantings,
Sometimes, Prottys just don’t feel like getting out the magnifying glasses to find such shreds of authentic faith in an RC’s post.
It’s more fun to highlight the absurdities.
In other words . . .
if it
quacks like self-righteous arrogance,
waddles like self-righteous arrogance,
floats like self-righteous arrogance,
swims like self-righteous arrogance,
flys like self-righteous arrogance,
lays eggs like self-righteous arrogance,
loses feathers like self-righteous arrogance,
preens it’s feathers like self-righteous arrogance,
gobbles duckweed like self-righteous arrogance,
. . .
Some of us Prottys are lazy enough to not bother investigating further—we’ll just take the evidence and go on.
I think that giving lofty names to Mary is fine as long as they don't trespass into paying divine honors. It seemed to me that none of those names you listed gave divine honor to Mary, so I thought they were all innocuous.
I HAD thought there was something in the actual content of the names that you thought was wrong, but now I see, or I think I do, that you think the mere giving of honorifics is bad.
And that I just don't get. Unless your side is going to leap to the unsupported conclusion that by merely tolerating honoring the Mother of the Lord the Church is turning folks away from Christ, I can't see anything intrinsically wrong with 2,000 years of devotion churning out a few titles. And I know the difference between a King and a Queen in a patriarchal worldview, so I'm not flustered by calling Mary Queen of anything. She is, after all, the mother of the King, and that often gets one the courtesy of a royal title.
So I don't see what the problem is.
It's not so much my question. You put up the list and said it was an outrage or something, but didn't say what was outrageous about it.
CORRECTED:
By "authority" of the elitist, arrogant, militarily supported power mongering political committee called the RC magicsterical and all their bureaucratic hangers-on.
All we can do is keep trying to explain what The Gospel is and pray for them.
I think a clear case can be made that Mary really didn't understand who Jesus was until the resurrection. She was a good faithful mom who worried about her child, but if she knew Jesus was God incarnate why would she berate him when he stayed at the Temple. Why would she come with his step brothers to take him home after he started his ministry? IOW, she never displayed any extraordinary knowledge or abilities.
***Matthew 7:6***
And some of them have large, ungainly feet.
***It’s more fun to highlight the absurdities.***
I see. So you find it absurd and worthy only of mockery when I posted (to another poster):
And, by the Grace of God, I am a member of His Church. He has blessed me considerably, I can ask for no more except to be with Him forever.
The brightest angel must be very proud.
OOOOOOH! the big bad Inquisition! OOOOOOH! THERE's a word to frighten children with. If we find enough of them we wont' have to think at all!
From the Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church:
The Inquisition properly so called came into being when in 1232 the Emperor Frederick II issued an edict for the whole Empire entrusting the hunting out of heretics to state officials. Thereupon Gregory IX, fearing Frederick's political ambitions claimed the office for the Church and appointed Papal Inquisitors.Saint Dominic died in 1221.
So much easier to calumniate the Church when we ignore the facts.

You are not as arrogant as some here, I’ll grant you that.
I have been told on this forum that mere capitalization of a proper noun equates to "bowing" to someone.
