And the low morals of so many of your popes and priests bear out what a disaster Catholicism has been for the countries in which it is the dominant religion.
And we're still seeing the fruit of that today.
CB:Wait! What??? I thought Catholics didn’t pray to Mary. Now you say they do? I’m going to copy that post and save it!!
Don't forget that that is also a tacit admission that Catholics believe in election.
Correct, yet somehow this is ignored in the place of those who have not suffered like the Early Church did while they sit in comfort and create modern theology from mistranslated Bible's.
It tears at my heart sometimes when I read what some people say against Our Blessed Mother, yet I know She is loving them beyond their understanding
A day without Jesus and Mary in my life would be a day without oxygen.
From Saint Jerome..
“Even while living in the world, the heart of Mary was so filled with motherly tenderness and compassion for men that no-one ever suffered so much for their own pains, as Mary suffered for the pains of her children.” -Saint Jerome
“If we still seek medical care despite bad doctors, if we still seek to learn despite bad teachers, if we still shop despite rude clerks, we should still belong to the Church despite the bad members of the Church. After all, if the Church were to admit to her ranks only perfect and sinless members, we ourselves would not be allowed to join. The Church is a hospital for sinners, people just like us and even worse, with faults and foibles, who are called, with the help of God, to love God and neighbor better.” — Dr. Christopher Kaczor, Professor of Philosophy at Loyola Marymount
That is very kind ,dear friend , but I'm just a simple man and a sinner.
The use of “day” and “night” is metaphorical in relation to the Immaculate Conception being the dawn of our new day in Christ.
I am well aware that God created day and night.
A novice with truth says: "I shall HEAR and OBEY God's Word alone". Then the novice is no longer a novice.
Bad teachings produce bad members. The fish stinks from the head down.
Please refrain from the insults. You have already had one post removed today for this exact phraseology. I would hate to see you zotted.
Peace be with you.
So he was devoted.
Good for him; but I'm afraid that MARY can't do a single thing for me.
Nor would I want her to try.

Jesus is referring to the Hebrew Bible, called the Tanakh. According to the Talmud (a commentary of the Tanakh) much of the contents of the Tanakh were compiled by the "Men of the Great Assembly" by 450 BCE, and have since remained unchanged. Modern scholars believe that the process of canonization of the Tanakh became finalized between 200 BCE and 200 CE. So, yes, Jesus meant the Divinely-inspired writings of the Old Testament (the name Christians call the Tanakh). But, Elsie, also quoted the writers of the New Testament books and they were ALSO called "Scripture" - as in Divinely inspired writings. These writings were accepted AS from God long before the church decided to make a canon "official" and call it the "Bible".
So God's Word is an insult? That doesn't end well.
IT is known thin skinned can't handle Truth. Making a post disappear is too funny as it keeps some warm and fuzzy and it's futile because it doesn't change the TRUTH.
I would hate to see you zotted.
And I don't believe that. NO PC here, keep it honest!
God's Word is THE FINAL AUTHORITY. And nothing anyone can do about it - although some with be gnashing their teeth as It is Written.
Thanks for doing some more research on this. For those who actually care about the truth and not just trying to fling mud hoping to smear everyone with it with which they don't agree, it is interesting to note that Luther did NOT even know Katherina when she and her fellow nuns were freed from the convent they no longer wanted to stay at. He didn't actually meet her until TWO YEARS after that happened. So, I guess we can expect certain people to apologize for having accused them both of "sneaking around to get it on". We know that is a false accusation now and, hopefully, we won't hear it repeated again the next time Martin Luther's name is brought up. Hope springs eternal, right?
Did you place yourself in ROME'S seat? Such teachings come through hypocritical liars.......... 1 Tim 4:2
Know your place and refrain from being out of line.
Thanks. I missed Daniel’s post.
And I add my thanks to Daniel for his always excellent research and his commitment to TRUTH.
