Evidently only
in YOUR construction on reality.
Not in mine.
Understood.
Thank You.
De nada.
Bu Xie.
You’re Welcome.
. . . Except of course . . .
when
you write a brilliant 1-3 starkly brief summary and I was wanting a 3 paragraph or 3 page treatise. Harumph! LOL.
LOLOL! I’m a math geek at heart - simplify, simplify, simplify.
Am deeply humbled by your kind words.
BLESSED BE THE LORD GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB.
BLESSED BE THE WORD OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE NAME OF THE LORD.
BLESSED BE THE RETURN OF THE KING.
ALL TRUE HOBBITS OF AUTHENTICALLY FURRY FEET AND FURRY HEARTS EAGERLY AWAIT AND CHEER HIS RETURN.
If one says “proddy’s don’t do that” when that is exactly what a “proddy” did, what alternative is there...?
If one says “proddy’s don’t do that” when that is exactly what a “proddy” did, what alternative is there...?
And because the
Magicsterical Committee of self-serving political power-mongers 300-400 years later said so.
barf.
There have been countless pages posted where it is shown that many Catholics, clergy included pray to Mary and ask her to provide Grace, Salvation, health, wealth and healing and many numbers of things which can only come from God...
So how could you make such a statement that all you ask of Mary is to convey a prayer to Jesus???
Unbiblical my patoot. “Pray thee” is straight out of the Bible.

Is Abram an idolater “praying to” Lot? Sarah an idolatress “praying to” Abram?
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You’re insisting I’m at fault because, for lack of extraordinary proof, I dare deny the extraordinary claim.
Fair disclosure: I contend that proper doctrine is explainable and sensible thru mundane interpretations.
For example: Occam’s Razor indicates that Mary was just what we would consider a “good girl”, seeking a normal and proper relationship with Joseph, and by Biblical miracle conceived before *ahem* knowing Joseph, then indeed did so after birth (as there are references to their other children); in order to achieve this thread’s claim, every single factor would have to be extraordinarily different - hence my previous comment, which Quix nicely rendered. The extraordinary claim is not essential, therefore the claim of extraordinary supporting factors is in severe doubt as the mundane explanation provides a sensible conclusion, to wit: the extraordinary claim is incorrect.
What makes you think Y is true? There is no evidence. X is an assertion without basis.
Hello vladimir998
I love your passion. This is a Catholic post and you are convinced the Catholics are the true church and others have strayed. I have no quarrel with your heart felt convictions on that.
The root meaning for “church” is a called out assembly. As for the Christ-made church, she is composed of those Christ has called out to Himself - His body. And believers have affliliated themselves as Catholics (Greek, Roman), Lutherans, Baptists, Methodist, ... and even Presbyterians.
In the Old Testament, God’s people were saved by faith - looking forward to Christ. (Jesus said Abraham saw His day and was glad.) In the first century to the twenty-first, we look back to Christ and are saved by faith in him.
Our doctrine is indeed based on Christ and the Apostles. And as one who takes authority from Holy Scriptures, we all can thank the Catholics for putting it all together for us.
If we all were perfect, we wouldn’t be so divided and quarrel like we do. But in Heaven ... we all with agree and be with Jesus forever.
Dude, read a bible once in a while.
I'm constantly amazed by the idiotic prattle that is directly contrary to scripture one can get away with by claiming ones own interpretation of scripture to be authoritative.
And I’m a Mars Hill Pauline addict at heart . . . sort of . . . not really . . . in spiritual terms . . . just in rambling complex sentences ad nauseum and all over the country-side sense.
I love to tease things out to the nth degree to be sure it’s all covered slightly to much more adequately LOL
. . . such that . . . the reader is left with few lingering questions . . . LOL or with niggling questions which will provoke fruitful thinking.
I do appreciate you saying that. I should keep that in mind.
Sometimes my insecurities convince me you were being terse for some stern warranted reason on my part. Sigh.
It is brash and all inclusive of me to say Proddys don’t do XYZ ever at all.
However, on that score, in general, Proddys don’t do that.
I realize that Vatican Cult members construe reality very differently routinely.
They construe Scripture in absurd ways. Why wouldn’t they twist and distort Proddy and other realities!
They are so well practiced at the dark art—it’s automatic—probably barely conscious at times.

ABSOLUTELY INDEED.
LOL.
Welllllllll, even Proddy KJV addicts don’t go running around saying that to their children. At least not in public! LOL.
Sheesh . . . grope grope.
Moved??? From where??? Syria, of course...And Antioch in particualar...Which means I am utterly right...And you are definately wrong...
