So you know who the RM is and you live in his house (boundaries)?????????????

WHAT?! You don't understand what 'boundaries' mean?

Now I see wny things happen the way they do around here! LOL!,

Because of your lack of understanding a word? If it were God's Word, it would be understandable since it's Spiritually discerned unlike the catechism but a 3rd grade word?

Sometimes,

sense seems to be like beauty . . .

between the ears of the beholder.

[Quix]

INDEED.

LOL.

[narses]

Stop pretending to read my mind. It is both against the rules, and in this case, in error.

Just watched a Gaither Christmas special on tv.

From Johannesburg, Africa.

Boy, Bill can pander those Gaither CD’s like no salesman on earth. LOL

I said "annoying" because that is what I meant. Both parties were badgering each other with the same posts to each other and thereby annoying everyone else trying to follow the threads on the Religion Forum.

Abusive spammers contribute nothing other than their spam and they don't last long on Free Republic.

2 Tim 4:8 - Paul says that there is laid up for him the crown of righteousness. The saints are crowned in heaven, and Mary is the greatest saint of all.

Because she was the Mother of Jesus??? That may be a Catholic thing but it is not a biblical thing according to Jesus...

Mat 12:48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
Mat 12:49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mat 12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

The Catholic church is explicit that Mary’s role is as helper

No one said the CC isn't. However, it is heresy as it opposes God's Word. That's the part Catholics refuse to 'get' even though it is simple to grasp.

[narses]

My soul magnifies the Lord,
And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,
For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.
He has shown strength with His arm:
He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
and exalted those of low degree.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich He has sent empty away.
He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen

Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus
in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem
ancíllæ suæ.

Ecce enim ex hoc beátam
me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna,
qui potens est,
et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies
et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,
dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede
et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis
et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum,
recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,
Ábraham et sémini eius in sæcula.

Glória Patri et Fílio
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio,
et nunc et semper,
et in sæcula sæculórum.

Amen.

Mary has received the crown of life by bringing eternal life to the world.

No she didn't...She gets the crown of life like everyone else, by making Jesus he Savior...

[Iscool]

Rev. 12:1 - Mary, the “woman,” is crowned with twelve stars. She is Queen of heaven and earth and the Mother of the Church.

THAT is not Mary...And right now, the earth is the kingdom Satan...And the queen of heaven as spoken of by Jeremiah may well be his bride...

[Quix]

Yeah. That gets to be a bit annoying.

Nevertheless, he does what he does better than about anyone else of such ilk, imho.

Praise God y’all can listen and watch great music now.

Christmas hugs to both of you.

[narses]

“THAT is not Mary...”

Says you, millions disagree. Why is your opinion of any more value than mine and theirs?

[presently no screen name]

That does come across as seriously trying to call the shots on your part.

Sure it is! Make him stop! blah, blah, whine whine.

I think they get their 'whine' from the magic they think is happening at the Eucharist. Catholics are sure FULL of WHINE! And always looking for someone to thrown them some crumbs of acceptance w/the RCC heresy teachings. "See, our teachings are biblical - right here in Scripture". LOL!

[Quix]

Which word did you not understand?

Looks like brazen rebellion, from here.

[narses]

” However, it is heresy as it opposes God’s Word. “

Nope, only in your’s and a tiny fringe groups opinion. To the vast majority of Christendom it is in conformity with God’s Word.

[narses]

“Looks like brazen rebellion, from here.”

Isaiah 29:10 For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.

Not pretending to read your mind.

Just going by the number of posts read on this thread and how they come across as seen by others.

Am I not allowed to tell you how your posts can be read and interpreted by others?

[narses]

Yawn.

[Iscool]

The interpretation you give is what a modern person would interpret using today’s language. Who told you that should be interpreted to mean that “Mary was trying to get her son to reveal who He was prematurely”?

See, that's your problem...I don't require a religion to tell me what basic English words in the bible mean...And since I can read and I have normal comprehension skills, it's not too difficult to read what the scriptures say, and more importantly, believe...BTW, God wrote the bible so that people in any and every age could 'get it'...
