Such as John Gill's?
The who crucified Christ and why?
Because the virgin birth is a tenet of faith
The fact is no one does know correct? There was no one in the bedroom of Mary and Joseph . The Catholic church has made up various stories to explain why Joseph may have been fine with that ..but there is no infallible record of their sex life.. no one does know..but it does not matter.. it has not one thing to do with our salvation
I know .... it is Christ+ Mary+tradition+saints+.........and so on
INDEED.
Though given the culture . . . I think there’d be evidence lingering if Joseph was denied his BIBLICAL rights.
Are christmas songs where you all get your theology? That explains alot
As to the “mind of the (Catholic) Church”, what might that be? The teachings of the Catholic Church? The Pope seldom if ever makes his (ahem..) “infallible” statements, the actions of some perverted bishop?, Vatican II that is bitterly criticized? The Democrat or Republican or socialist priest? “...mind of the Church” indeed!!
Why, God smote Christ with His wrath, of course. Why? Likely he was angry with Himself.
You do see where this leads by now, yes?
That bears repeating
This is just ridiculous.

Have you never heard of the Essenes? The Nazoreans?
Did you really read this? This is telling us that Marys greatest joy was not the virgin birth or nursing the son of God.. but to be regenerated by God, to become a sister to Christ through adoption as are all those that are saved..
You just keep proving you do not understand the reformed doctrines..
It is a bad translation. It is possible to translate prosopos as “presence” in some contexts, but as applied to Christ it is pure nonsense, as He is present everywhere. The meaning of the passage is that St. Paul acts on the authority of Christ.
My bad. Not again.
I noticed your new tagline.
Did you hear about the breakfast joint that served Eggs Benedict in a hubcap? They said, “There’s no plates like chrome for the hollandaise. :o)
Wag that is accepting that doctrine by faith alone ..Sola fide ..but not faith in Christ, but faith in Rome
Sola Ecclesia Romanus
I am not tethered by the 16th century man-made invention of sola scriptura.
No, Catholics accept what man says is true with no infallible support
There is absolutely no proof or even a suggestion anywhere in known inspired writing that Mary was born free of sin, that she never sinned, that she was assumed into heaven, there is no evidence that she can hear or answer prayer or that she is the "queen of heaven"
This is all nothing more than speculation made doctrine.. All sola scriptura says is that it is the FINAL authority because we know that is the inspired word of God
Marys spiritual condition is of no import ....not one at all or God would have seen to it that we would have assurance on it.. We are saved by Christ not his mama
Actually after I was saved I would no longer be deceived..I left the Roman church
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
It is possible to translate “prosopos” as “presence” (an example of that is 2 Cor 10:1) and of course the direct meaning is “face”, nearly always synonymous with “person”. But in the case of 2 Cor 2:10 “presence” makes no sense because St. Paul makes a reference to his authority stemming from the authority of Christ. What he is saying is that he absolves the penitent in agreement with the decision of the local church and on authority of Christ. As St. John Chrysostom explain, he absolves him not in order to please the local priests but because that is the right thing to do, in Christ.
I don’t ordinarily participate in threads this long. There was a textual question and I made a textual comment.
