I have to share with you the fact that I have always wondered why Jews, Israelis in particular, were so distrustfull of Christians who supported Israel. It made no sense.
I now see how strange it is for them, having had a long relationship with God, for some people to come along and claim they weren't saved etc.
That is not the God we know. Man's first sin, was to think we could be like God, by eating the forbidden fruit. Man's second sin was to destroy his brother. God is the only one with universal knowledge and only He is perfect. Christians are called to love each other.
If you don't think Jesus' mother is relevant, that's up to you. Please don't throw mudd and nasty generalizations at Catholics to prove your point. It makes us all look bad.
Well put and worthy points.
Actually there are 1 billion and those different beliefs are not something to be proud of as they are denied when RCs speak of "one church".

Are you speaking of right now or in bible times. I find it very strange that Jews so often vote Democrat too. That seems really selfdefeating.

Romans 9,10 and 11 are very interesting yet a big confusing on this issue.

This is why I exort RCs to read their bible and reject Marianism.

I think she is as relevent as the bible says, no more, no less. I reject the notion that my exorting you or other RCs into honoring the bible makes us look bad. Jesus spoke of how non believers will look at either John the baptist who didn't drink and think he is possessed or at Jesus who did drink and call him a drunk. Outsiders will always decide wrong "wisdom is known by her fruit". I'm not concerned with them. I'm concerned with people that are probably Christians that I hope to edify.
