I also spend each Shabbat in prayer and scripture. I do 8 - 10 hours of scriptural exegesis
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
with a noted bible teacher each week.
Actually, God didn't say that, Saint Paul wrote it.
However, I can see where this confusing for anti-Catholics, they nominally worship Paul as their god (though they are actually serving Satan).
Thanks for acknowledging what you believe.
Truth be told, NO real Christian would want any part of the anti-Catholic version of Heaven. Anti-Catholicism is really nothing more than an offshoot of Islam and that is probably where anti-Catholics will spend eternity.
BEAUTIFUL.
MUCH APPRECIATED.
Mary was his respected loved mother. She is NOT God and we can at most ask her to pray for us like you might our own relatives who passed on.
IMO she is a great advocate to pray for you.
I don’t care about the sin question because in any case Christ has forgiven any sins IMO that would have been that.
Isaiah 53
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
The counterfeit church took Mary, a servant of the Lord, and dressed her up with titles, accolades to make her their goddess.
It’s not Mary of the Bible but satan disguised as an angel of light.
And satan has fulfilled his mission through the RCC....I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.” Isa 14:12-14
According to his definition of prayer ... Jesus prayed TO Lazarus.
What is the issue? If you support his definition of prayer then you should have no problem admitting this. But what I think is happening is that you are seeing where this belief is going to lead.
Let me go further on his point ...
Since Jesus prayed to Lazarus ... why don't Catholics in general pray to Lazarus. Shouldnt you follow the example Christ gave and mix in a "Dear Lazarus" in between a Hail Mary and an Our Father?
Now let me say ... I am certainly applying the Limbaugh method of using absurdity to demonstrate absurdity. But this is the place you are forced to go when you impose arbitrary definitions upon the text to support a priori theological musings ... rather that exegete the Biblical passage and let it speak for itself. There is nothing in the text to impose the belief that "Jesus didn't command Lazarus" or "Jesus prayed to Lazarus."
even though so many of us admitted Catholics tell you we dont partake in such a practice.
Which is it? Do you or do you not 'communicate' with dead saints?
Thanks for acknowledging what you believe.
Wagglebee, you did something very similar to Gamecock. Which of the "antiCatholics" are going to hell? Which are Heaven bound?
Can an "antiCatholic" go to Heaven?
Do you decide who may go, or are you simply an adviser?
Ah ... so now scripture is not inspired.
Maybe you should rephrase ...
When you pray to Lazarus, you're not supposed to pray with words. You're supposed to pray through interpretive dance. It's not in any scripture, but it's a tradition.
Looking for cover is thin skinned.
No, the Bible does not say they will die. You could be right, they may be the two witnesses in Revelation, but again, that is your interpretation of Scripture. It could also be someone not yet born, or someone we don’t know about.
The Catholic Church included the Book of Revelation in it’s canon, which it has defended over the years; if I remember correctly, Martin Luther wanted to toss it, along with the Epistle of James and the Letter to the Hebrews. The Church does teach that it is not an easy book, and there is a great deal of confusion about it; again it’s a matter of interpretation, but that is another discussion!
Does it say anywhere in the Bible that children should not be baptized? Where does it say that it is a conscious act? Does not Paul mention “whole households” being baptized? Would that not include children? Did not the early church baptize infants?
Sorry; I have to follow Jesus on this one; “let the children come to me”, and “no one can enter the kingdom of God without first being born of water and Spirit” as a couple of examples.
I never said any such thing. Inspired and inerrant DO NOT mean that it was dictation.
Maybe you should rephrase ...
I'm not going to rephrase anything to accommodate anti-Catholic heretical beliefs and reading comprehension problems.
and perhaps this is what the Catholics are getting at, and really believe, that Jesus was no Savior and why they must needs worship a pure goddess, a figment of their own imaginations, a vanity
More Holy Spirit bashing I see.
why next they'll be joining in prayers to the UN's moon goddess
There does not seem to be a need. Her only requirement was her bloodline.
Miriam's role was not her characteristics or value, 1. Miriam is a daughter who has no brothers 2. Joseph is descended from King David. 3. The inheritance exception granted for the daughters of Zelophehad 4. If a woman who has no brothers marries a man of the same tribe 5. Joseph and Miriam are married (each descended from King David)
The first question to be asked is why does she need to be held to be sinless,
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
but her bloodlines to King David,
having no brothers and
the exception started by
the daughters of Zelophehad.
There are five things that are important here:
and is descended from King David.
But he is from a line prohibited to inherit.
(These were daughters who had no brothers)
is in effect (Numbers 26, 27, 36; Joshua 17; 1 Chronicles 7).
She can inherit forever.
thus providing Miriam with permanent inheritance
of the Kingship of David for her to pass on to her son Yah'shua (Messiahship).
