***Plenty of people actually saw the risen Christ, wrote it down or were interviewed. ***

Read your Bible. The assignment should you choose to accept it is: at what point did anyone understand that Jesus was God?

***Improper is taking a legend that caught fire not on day one mind you but 300-400 years later, starting actually being taken seriously centuries later and became legend off some highly suspicious writings not approved for spiritual consumption and historically a joke in terms of truth ***

Yes, St. Augustine was one hell of a joker.

***So we have in 1854 and 1950 declarations about unbiblical dogma made offenses worthy of being a heretic and facing the wrath of God plus a few Apostles.***

Either you accept all of the Church’s pronouncements or you accept none. You cannot pick and choose.

Read your Bible. The assignment should you choose to accept it is: at what point did anyone understand that Mary was Assumed into Heaven. Also, what 1st/2nd century figure wrote, preached, talked about an Assumption. We have plenty of evidence for Jesus in the 1st century which was the point in the first place.

Augustine? What year was he born again? Bwhahahah!!! Did he ever verify the Assumption? Left the whole deal open just like another 4TH CENTURY “father” Epiphanius. Opined about perpetual virginity, like he observed Mary and Joseph every waking day and night, give me a break.

“Either you accept all of the Church’s pronouncements or you accept none. You cannot pick and choose”

Either you accept two corrupted, ELECTED, men of "powers" dogma a little less than 2000 years after the fact or the true God who sent Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Your Church just added 2 requirements for salvation based on legends and assumptions on a created FALIBLE human being no less. Nice going.

= = =

Except that it seems like most RC’s do exactly that . . . picking and choosing only the decisions from only the centuries that affirm the CURRENT STATUS QUO.

LOL. What a fantasy!
