Could you show me where the asterisk is that says "*Except Jesus"? If prots want to take the Bible literally (which they only do when it is convenient), then they are stuck with calling Jesus a sinner. Jesus was Fully God and Fully HUMAN.

10 Bible Verses about Jesus Christ, Sinlessness

Sinlessness of Jesus

Sinless Jesus - Could He live His whole life without sin?

Was Jesus sinless?

Excellent avoidance!

I wonder if GOD ‘chose’ all the EVIL MEN to lead the church of Rome for a reason???

Here; slobber over some more...


My Prayer to Our Mother Mary

Hail and praise be unto thee, Mary, whom God Almighty has exalted above all of his other servants!!

God has entrusted us unto your care and graciously grants any request that you make of Him on our behalf, if it is in accordance with His Divine Will.

Our hearts burn with zeal as we honor you, Our Mother.

We love you as a child loves a mother and you love us as mother loves her children.

Please guide us, your little ones, to our Eternal and Almighty Father God through our prayers and through your love for us.

Many in this world may slander and degrade you while still claiming to exalt God, please forgive them and pray for them for they may dishearten your devoted children.

May we be made worthy of the promises of Christ through your prayers. You love us so freely and we are so unworthy of it.

You love us because God and Christ loved us first.

Mary, Mother, I love you.


Amen.

Nostra Aetate: Declaration on the Relation of the Church to Non-Christian Religions (October 28, 1965)

Excellent post. Is that the trampling of a thousand feet I hear, rushing to cooperate with these wise admonitions? No, sorry, it's just the wind. However, you tried, and for that, I commend you.

Does this part from Scripture not deserve a normal-size font, even if you feel the rest of the prayer does not?

See your post 192. "Too much or too many meds." A comment on the picture of Pope Benedict XVI on post 191.

Sorry; but you've failed to notice what it WAS replied to...

Another example of a truly christian comment /SARC

Speaking of such; re-post your 218 to me again.

I wasn't quick enough to read it the first time around.

Where is the citation? You wouldn’t want FR to get sued, would you? : )

The citation? I am responding to the thread article! Do you see To 1 at the bottom?

If FR was going to be sued it would be mostly due to RCs who post whole articles or portions without any attribution, even as if it was their own polemic

Therefore, the Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against people or any harassment of them on the basis of their race, color, condition in life or religion.

Which, in the light of what you are responding to, and more , examples how Rome can contradict itself.

I’m a Methodist. I haven’t read through this. It does strike me that the title is designed to polarize. Do you agree with that?

No. No where in scripture does it say Mary is full of grace. It only says that about Jesus and Stephen. That "full of grace" stuff is a made up lie from the Catholic Church.

Can’t believe I read the whole thing. But I did, and many of the links. Thank you for a wealth of information and interpretation.

Thanks for reading and thank God for grace and truth.

What previous name have you gone by on this forum?

I've been meaning to ask this for some time now...for in dribs and drabs have been leaking out small hints that participation on this forum likely did not begin Dec. 14, 2014.

The date on my homepage is when I joined. I was not previously a member, but I have looked around the instructional portions of the site. In fact, isn’t your erroneous assumption that I have been here before under another name “making it personal?”
