Oooh, colored fonts, we are so blessed. I see that as usual the posting of color, and bold print, ad nauseum, is still the only way that some can make it seem as if their arguments have merit.
This guy is either dumb or purposely taken the early Church fathers out of context. What ever the intention of this man, he is almost always takes everything out of context from a early church father. I had a book that showed this too. I would read in amazing wonder when this site was shown. Then go back to my early church fathers books.
If Mary or the Saints can "interceed" for us, then Christ's Work on the Cross was obviously left undone, eh?
So you don't pray for others? You don't pray for sick people, or family members, or fellow believers? If you did that would be interceding on their behalf and would meant that Christ's work is then left undone. Is this really what you believe?
Nicely said! Now if Mary and other Saints HAD to intercede for us, there would be a problem. The fact that souls in Heaven CAN do so really shouldn’t be such a shock, at least not to good God-fearing peoples...With Christmas coming you gave the gift of wisdom; bless ya for it and let’s hope it’s not taken back....
Woo Hooo!!!!!!!!!
I love this. A very blessed Advent to you!
If anything, the font size, color and repetition just make me speed up and skip to the next post.
Now if they threw in some sparkles and dancing angels, maybe I would be convinced and run from the evils of the Catholic faith after 39 years. </s>
I pray to Jesus to intercede for them, as the Bible tells us to. No need to be obstinate and ridiculous. Or is there...?
Excellent point and example. Thank you and God bless you.
LMFFACAO!!!!
Nice dodge of the very incriminating
words
in the examples.
I pray to Jesus to intercede for them, as the Bible tells us to. No need to be obstinate and ridiculous. Or is there...?
If a friend of yours is sick, you intercede by praying for them, and this is a virtue and even a Christian duty. Okay, so far so good. But, if the Blessed Virgin prays for that same person that you did, her act is not a virtue. It has now become blasphemy which denies the work of Christ. How do you manage that kind of tortuous reasoning? Do you believe that the saints graduate from virtue and charity?
There were no incriminating words nor examples to dodge.
I’ve heard of LMAO, and even LMFAO, but I am wondering what your version LMFFACAO means.

[Quixicated emphases below]
.
Mary is crowned Queen of heaven and earth, dispenser of all graces . . . .
p32
.
4 - She became Queen of Purgatory, where she exercises her power as mediatrix in behalf of these suffering souls. .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
She has NO power as any sort of special mediatrix. Any such construction on reality is fabricated out of thin air from seductive urgings from hell.
.
5 - She became Queen of us sinners, to assist us through the dangers of this life and to help us in difficulties. .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
She has NOT been assigned any such role. The assertion is UNBiblical and blasphemous. That is HOLY SPIRIT'S ROLE.
.
6 - She became the ruler of hell, that trembles at her slightest gaze and is defeated by her power. .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
Ascribing to her roles, abilities and powers of the God-head is BLASPHEMOUS. There is not a shred of Biblical evidence that she has been given any role over hell to the slightest degree whatsoever.
Having done her task 2033 odd years ago well, I'd think Christ would have insured she had nothing whatsoever to do to bother about hell in the least degree. Sheesh what an idiotic idea.
.
"Just as a rock extracted from earth will precipitate into the abyss, so will man, left without Mary's help, quickly slide toward hell." --Richard of St Victor .
p37
.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Thy kingdom come; Thy kingdom come through Mary! --Partial Indulgence .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
Mary has nothing whatsoever to do with the "Sacred Heart of Jesus."
She didn't create it. Christ was BEFORE MARY--HINT!
She is not the gatekeeper on Christ's heart!
She doesn't dispense portions of it for so many toe kisses, indulgences or rosary repetitions. It's not her turf.
p41
.
"Mary is the tree of life to those who grasp her, and he is happy who hold her fast." --Prov. 3:18 .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
First y'all want to pretend that Peter is the Rock though all of Scripture asserts otherwise.
Now y'all pretend that MARY is THE Tree of Life!?
What an outrageously blasphemous farce from the throne room of hell! Words are inadequate to protest sufficiently. Not her turf.
p43
.
1 - "Hail Mary, beloved daughter of the Father, Mother of the Divine Son, Spouse of the Holy Spirit, complement of the most august Trinity!" .
AS THOUGH CREATED MAN COULD ADD ANYTHING TO THE TRINITY! What unmitigated Ashteroth-Mary-Goddess-Cult-Worship UNBiblical blasphemous lunacy!
.
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
It's like each additional blasphemy is more OUTRAGEOUS than the one before!
Now y'all have Mary elbowing her way into The Trinity! The only proper response to that assertion in one's group would be sackcloth and ashes in REPENTANCE for daring to imagine or think such a thing! And instead of hiding in shame over such, y'all parade it and exalt over such hideousness.
And worse, y'all seem to think GOD APPROVES of such idolatrous blasphemy! It boggles my mind. What rubberized 'Bibles' and history texts has hell seduced y'all with? Sheesh!
p45
.
6 - To her was granted grace greater than that conferred upon all others, 'that she might vanquish sin in every respect.'
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's vanquishing sin was unnecessary--or ineffectual without Mary's assistance?] .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
Vanquishes sin in every respect? Take a hike, Christ. Domineering Mummy has taken over your post, position & exclusive role! All the suffering and bloodshed was for naught. All ya needed was Magnificent Magical Mummy to carry the ball and win the day! /sarc
Again, words are inadequate to protest with.
p46
.
7 - "Mary is the dawn of God because, just as the dawn marks the end of darkness and the beginning of day, so Mary indicates the end of vices and the beginning of virtue."
.
[Qx: I guess Christ's conquering on The Cross and HIS conquering trip to hell were unncessary? Perhaps Ashteroth-Mary could help Him get His money back on the ticket to hell. /sar] .
.
9 - God loved Mary so much that He gave her the keys to His heart. 'No one can go to God without Mary drawing him.'
.
.
[Qx: I guess Holy Spirit has been relegated to a 'Walter Mitty' role as spouse of Mary? That's SOME POWER to cancel & take over HOLY SPIRIT'S role to draw men to God!] .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
Again words are inadequate to even scream in protest.
HOLY SPIRIT'S EXCLUSIVE ROLE IS DRAWING INDIVIDUALS TO GOD.
God made abundantly clear that speaking against The Father or the Son could be forgiven but not speaking against Holy Spirit.
And the above is FAR FAR FAR WORSE than speaking against Holy Spirit--it is utterly displacing Him.
What abject horrific hideousness from hell.
p47
.
4 - "Mary, trusting in the word of the angel, destroyed the sin Eve committed by trusting in the serpent.'
.
[Qx: Evidently, she beat Christ to the job of vanquishing sin! Or maybe she ordered Him to retire early in the interest of her Ashteroth-Mary !CONTROL! compulsions? /sar] .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
Mary did not destroy a sub atomic particle's worth of sin. Not her turf. NO ONE ELBOWS CHRIST OUT OF HIS ROLE. NO ONE. AND LEAST OF ALL ANY CREATED BEING. What idiocy!
.
5 - "She desired the safety of everyone, went in search of it, and obtained it; it was also through her that this salvation was wrought."
.
.
[QX: What an unnecessary waste of precious Blood and suffering on THE CROSS!!!/sar] .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
NO SALVATION WAS WROUGHT THROUGH MARY WHATSOEVER. Not her turf--ever. She had a narrowly defined role and filled it well. Fini.
She also did not choose self-aggrandizing spiritual adventures to go gallavanting off achieving on her own or otherwise. She is filling precisely and only the Heavenly role GOD HAS ASSIGNED to her. Multiple reports describe that as teaching aborted babies/children the ways of God. Period.
p47
10 - "As Noah's Ark saved all the animals that entered it, so Mary saves all the souls that entrust themselves to her care."
.
[Qx: Sounds like Ashteroth-Mary just bumped Jesus to the end of the God-head line-up--in terms of function & usefulness. /sar]
p50
8 - "If she were not so holy as she is, how could God appoint her to be the ladder of Paradise, the advocate of the world, meatrix between HIm and us?" .
[Qx: Ladder, Super-lap; Super-orbed nurturance of Heavenly milk and goodies; Queen of Heaven; Queen of hell; Ark; Does Ashteroth-Mary also do windows? /sar] .
UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
Souls entrusting themselves to her care vs the care of Jesus The Christ are eternally endangering their souls.
p50
4 - "By becoming Mother of God, Mary belongs to the order of hypostatic union; hence she participates IN the infinite sanctity of God." UNMITIGATED BLASPHEMOUS FARCE, FALSEHOOD.
May God have mercy on such OUTRAGEOUS BLASPHEMY!
OUTRAGEOUS TO THE MAX.
NO CREATED BEING earns such a position. God does NOT share His Glory with any created being in anything remotely like that fashion or degree.
Any mentality that could even fantasize, imagine, dream, hallucinate such nonsense as the above is extremely out of touch with God's priorities, God's character and God's Word.
And all my words above are putting it extremely mildly and gently compared to what's warranted.
I would need to see the book that was printed in 1964 that you mention and read it for myself to see the context of which you are referring. I cannot find this book's content online so I would like to be sure you are stating and quoting things correctly. After all, this is the Internet.
Thanks for the ping.
