“Mother of Mercy”, the All-Holy One.

THERE’S simple idolatrous blasphemy RIGHT THERE!

Sheesh!

[Cronos]

Of course, what you posted was wrong, since the preachers who fed you this hate of course tell lies and use incomplete extracts to bring people away from God and His Church. The incomplete extract that you posted was God has committed to her the treasury of all good things, in order that everyone may know that through her are obtained every hope, every grace, and all salvation. For this is his will, that we obtain everything through Mary.- and the little bit you left out was "And likewise in our own day, Mary, with the ever merciful affection so characteristic of her maternal heart, wishes,through her efficacious intercession with God, to deliver her children from the sad and grief-laden troubles, from the tribulations, the anxiety, the difficulties, and the punishments of God's anger which afflict the world because of the sins of men. Wishing to restrain and to dispel the violent hurricane of evils which, as We lament from the bottom of Our heart, are everywhere afflicting the Church, Mary desires to transform Our sadness into joy. The foundation of all Our confidence, as you know well, Venerable Brethren, is found in the Blessed Virgin Mary

[OLD REGGIE]

For those who skipped to this point, protestants are those trying to perform these calculations using a single computer—a single lifetime—which is quite impossible, while the Catholic Church continues to pass its results on to every new generation to continue and build on. They have necessarily completed and recorded the results of far more of these computations than any protestant could in the single lifetime allotted to us all. That impossibility is how we know that “sola scriptura” is an invention of Satan.

You seem to have missed the point. Write your own "book" with thousands upon thousands of pages, liberally sourced with forged documents, pretend it is information passed down from the Apostles, declare a level of infallibility (faith and morals), and declare you are the "One True", etc, etc. This is the Catholic way.

[Quix]

WRONG AGAIN!

Proddys read God’s Word.

God’s Word declares Holy Spirit will lead us into all truths as we study God’s Word.

We BELIEVE GOD.

—not the magicsterical
—not the mangled bits of church ‘fathers.’
—not the Vatican power-mongers

WE BELIEVE GOD.

[Cronos]

Nope, your own postings are evidently the little lies that countless “pasters” have been telling you and of course the excerpted bible quoted incompletely and out of context. This is the gospel of hatred, not the gospel of Christ that your groupings have taught you

[Cronos]

"Well, many folks do think that the Bible was written in King James English...... And why not??? "

ooooookkaayyyyyy....... English dates from the 1st century, right? /sarc

[Cronos]

cronos: you DO believe that it was through God that she conceived, right?
Met : I am aware of what it takes for one to become pregnant under normal circumstances.

I asked you if you believed that it was through God that she conceived because you posted "A young teenage girl who was a virgin at the time of her conception, who happened to have the correct lineage."

You DO believe that God was the Father of Jesus Christ,not in adoptionism, do you?

[Quix]

NOW NOW.

Trying to tack an RC down to their dogma and the dogma’s source documents is like

—trying to catch fireflies with tweezers and frozen fingers

—trying to build a castle on quicksand

—a 2 year old trying to capture the end of a run-away full sized firehose.

[wmfights]

"Hyperdulia" was a "smoke" distinction invented by Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, A.D. 1270, to define the distinction between the "worship" of Jesus and the "worship" of Mary.

Thanks, I learned something new today.

[OLD REGGIE]

Posting in outsized fonts lends no credibility to a statement, and is obnoxious.

Just trying to help you see.

That said, once again you creatively misquote. The requirement is not that the statements be “personal,” as you write here, but that they be *personally insulting*, which is the proposition we were actually discussing.

The quote was exact.

These remarks are not personally insulting.

Whatever you say, you sweet thing.

[don-o]

Sometimes I even begin to wonder how many RC’s really know the BIBLICAL God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

I do try to read posts when I am in the "To" field, because I assume something I had posted previously engendered a response. Is my assumption incorrect when you place my name in a "To" field? Or do you simply click "reply to a random post and copy/paste in one of your ping lists in order to proclaim whatever has made its way to the top of your head?

Because, none of your screed really has anything to do with my post to which you addressed your reply; the money quote of which was

Many, many errors derive from attributing human characteristics to God.

[Cronos]

let’s see, there were lies repeated. You repeated them. That doesn’t mean you are the originator. No, there are earlier demagogues who fed you and the other Church haters here their words. How is it personal if it is pointed out that you repeated these statements?

[Quix]

Good I guess that means you'll leave it to the Jews to interpret scriptures for ya since they've been doing it for around 3500 years.

Good one.

However, the Vatican INSISTS ON BEING THE

ONLY

RELIGIOUS IN-GROUP.

All others are automatically defined as OUT-GROUP and more or less beyond the pale.

I figure that's sort of a good deal for Proddys. It automatically means we're closer to God than the RC's are! LOL.

MORE RANK BLASPHEMY AND IDOLATRY!

They sure don’t know when to stop digging, do they!

They must have tossed over the CHIEF CORNERSTONE into the rubble heap.

God have mercy.

[Cronos]

A very good description, but one I am afraid that none of the posters will read it

[dsc]

“Nonsensical fabrications. They come from YOUR OWN CHURCH’S DOCTRINES.”

Please, try to concentrate. Listen now: Catholics are not required to believe every proposition that is advanced. We can be in total disagreement with JPII on capital punishment, and remain Cathoics in good standing. No offense is committed.

The fact that you read—and misunderstand—a passage from a papal encyclical does not mean that it is an article of faith, that every Catholic believes or is required to believe it, or that it is in accord with Catholic dogma as defined in the Catechism of the Catholic Church or other sources.

It is, of course, patently obvious that the misinterpretation you force on the words has nothing at all to do with Catholicism.

“And if it is correct, then we have another clue as to Mary’s importance to the Catholic believer. ‘As she leads us to her son, Jesus in paradise.?’

What is wrong with that? It doesn’t say she has to lead us or we don’t find her Son. It doesn’t say that our salvation depends on her. She leads us only as an act of love, and who would spurn an expression of love from the Mother of God?

Look, I’m bowing out of this. As I have seen so many times here, those whose attacks on the Church are the most malign, the most obdurate, the wickedest, are incapable of or unwilling to use their God-given reason, and are utterly bereft of any apparent desire to try.

Now. Is that better to you? There it all is, in all its glory. For all to see and read. And ponder.

I don’t know whether it’s more frightful or more shockingly pathetic.

It persistently seems like they have

ABSOLUTELY NO CAPACITY, NO INSIGHT, NO DISCERNMENT

INTO THE HORRID THINGS THEIR OWN DOCUMENTS PROVE!!!!

The blind leading the blind, indeed.

God have mercy.

[Cronos]

The selective editing is characteristic of a Protestant egoistical excertped Bible. your lot doesn’t read scripture, rather it reads excerpts of Scripture.

[Quix]

INDEED.

When the whole edifice is mostly smoke and mirrors . . .

it’s kind of educational to learn where some of the smoke comes from.
