You consistently point out grave dangers in this odd obsession the Catholic Church has with Mary. Thanks for this good work. This post, however, gave me the willies seeing blasphemous names assigned to this woman. Preoccupation, reverence and beseeching can only be construed as idolotrous worship.
“Morning star, pray for us.”

“Queen conceived without Original Sin, pray for us.”

Sinless prior to what particular sin? Bizarre.

Makes one wonder what use Jesus really is to them. Why pray to Mary when they could have God, but instead, they continuously run to SuperWoman to save the day. Tragic.

WELL PUT, imho.

Thx.

It's also funny how some people when reading a turn of phrase which does not fit into their pre-fab templates immediately assume the worst and start hurling around characterizations which have no basis.

Paul himself characterizes his encounter with the risen Christ as ‘last of all, as to one untimely born.’ When the 11 talk about replacing the traitor, their notion is to get someone who had been with them from the beginning (I assume that means the beginning of Christ's public ministry.)

Paul really is a special case and a special gift to us.

[Mad Dawg]

Do you have any specifics? Any specifics that will stand up to examination?

[Quix]

Now, now.

You know good and well that the V Edifice doesn’t tolerate facts and logic . . . except when it’s

fantasizing them for some new dogma out of whole cloth.

Thx back.

I follow your contributions regularly and, in opposition to those you mentioned hurl abuse, I find your remarks biblical and enlightening. And we pray they will be used to remove scales and free slaves. Keep up the good work.

Paul was a witness and a disciple of the resurrected Christ. Which bible are you reading?

[RnMomof7]

Paul was DIRECTLY selected by Christ as were all the other apostles, you know no one appreciates mercy as much as one that has much to forgive. The word contemporary means of the same generation..Christ and Jesus were indeed contemporaries . It sure sounded as if you wanted to discount Pauls teachings on the gospel to me. link

lol

[RnMomof7]

I believe he was ordained by God for the position..he was the most educated on scripture of any of the apostles and a Roman citizen ...indeed a gift to all of us

[RnMomof7]

indeed

THANKS TONS for your kind encouragement and affirmation.

Am still deeply troubled by a huge percentage of the responses on this thread and a huge screaming absence of affirmations that

THE TRINITY, GOD, CHRIST ALONE IS WORTHY ALL OUR PRAISE, GLORY, WORSHIP.

Still prayerfully pondering therefore what.

A lot of comments from the usual rabid clique types are routinely expected. Some from some of the other more thoughtful, spiritually mature folks are still leaving me stunned and shocked.

no, they praise God day and night. Tell me something: why , if and when you get to heaven, you would think, that you, a mere human, get to do God’s work? Granted, in His Wisdom, He may give you a job, but
why do you think you get to say just what it is you might do? And why isn’t praising God night and day, and nothing else, enough for you?

Plus, “honoring” your father and your mother-— that isn’t laying flowers at their tombstones— that is living in the way they brought you up, , hopefully, righteously

spam: the other sandwich meat

[1000 silverlings]

yeah, any one of us can go one on one with you at any time in our understanding of Paul

[Quix]

Nice to see.

[1000 silverlings]

[RnMomof7]

Interesting , Pauls writings are very clear..IMHO

[1000 silverlings]

Paul really is a special case and a special gift to us.
