Amen!
Truly, to God be the glory, not man, never man.
Thank you oh so very much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!
this sounds, Dear Sister,
"Truly, to God be the glory, not man, never man."
like a contradiction to some of your assertions up-thread.
Or are you meaning it . . . uhhh . . .
'Truly, to God be the glory, not [a] man, never [any] man--though a special case was made for one woman.'
Is that your meaning? I'm really at a mystifying loss as to how to take the meaning of your words any more.
I'm sorry your working all this out with this Pentecostal is so difficult, annoying, offensive. I'd make it less so, if I could figure out a way to do that with Biblical integrity, accuracy, and personal straight-forwardness.
Alas, I just don't seem able, currently, to rise to that level of maturity or saintliness. Very sorry.
BTW, I would still appreciate your response to my post #1,692 to wit:
Sez you, dear brother in Christ!
AT post #1,483 you said:
BB:
But from whence did Quix derive this list of titles? Certainly not from Catholics, I daresay!
QX: About that you are exceedingly mistaken.
I cited the reference. I gave the page numbers and quotes from the book published by a well known and cherished, approved, sanctioned, lauded ?Roman? Catholic Order's publishing house. I gave the official Vatican affiliated institutional censor's and Cardinal Cushing's affirmations of the text.
If those are not from ?Roman? Catholics, nothing is.
Therefore, your:
And on what basis does he associate them with Mary? Catholic thought makes none of the associations that have been alleged from certain quarters round about here.
is also mistaken and wholesale mystifying on the face of it.
Frankly, I went to bed shocked and seriously grieved by your assertions. I still am. I find them exceedingly difficult to explain, If not now mystifying to understand with any confidence, at all.
BIG Sigh.
