“Were John, Luke, the Angel Gabriel and Elizabeth all liars. If so what good is your Bible if you deny it refers to to Mary as being the Mother of Jesus? Or are you just claiming that Jesus is not God? Which is it?”
I find it distasteful when posters on FR - particularly those who claim to be Christians - take this, “were they liars” approach. Combined with a demanding spirit in a post like this, it is not winsome and does not fulfill Christ’s command to love each other.
Full disclaimer: this kind of thing seems to find its way into the posts of people of many denominations and it is always sad. It is like demanding an answer to “did you stop beating your wife!”
I don’t find it persuasive either. We can all do better.
I’m not demanding an answer. I’m just pointing out that some people pick and choose what they believe in their Bibles; Martin Luther comes to mind.
I admit I accidentally misrepresented Christ’s words from His Cross. I will not back down, however, from my assertion that Mary is the Mother of Jesus Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, Who is God.
Salvation and myself have provided you with numerous bible quotes where the above is stated; you have refused to address any of them.
