The Immaculate Conception in Scripture

As for proving it, I don't need to, to anyone.

But then WHY did you did up an apparent FACT that your chosen religion teaches these things??

---

So; it appears to me (and possibly others) that you CAN'T find these things you 'believe' in your churches vast libraries.

Please don't worry about whether I or others can't 'understand' it.

You report; we decide.

Simple.

[Elsie]

Because we believe in the Perpetual Virginity of Mary.

Yup; you sure do.

Too bad it's unnatural.

[tbpiper]

What do you believe it's like when an immortal soul no longer has a body

I believe what the bible says about it.

[tbpiper]

I asked a simple question about praying to Mary and you post a bunch of stuff about Novenas (I almost bought a Chevy Novena back in the early 80’s). I would just like your opinion on subject of praying to Mary.

[Grateful2God]

Help me out, tb, what is that? The Bosom of Abraham? Sheol? Gehenna? Not a challenge, just curious as to what you think. God bless you!

[Grateful2God]

When Jesus ascended into Heaven, promising to send His Spirit, Mary, the Apostles, Mary Magdalen and some of the Disciples gathered in the Upper Room where the Last Supper had taken place, praying and awaiting Jesus’ promise. Pentecost was nine days afterward, and on that day, the Holy Spirit came. Hence the Catholic practice of imitating these holy people and praying for nine days in succession for an intention. This is often accompanied by fasting or alms, and should always have the intention as well of accepting God’s Holy Will, whatever it may be. I hope that clears it up a little. Thank you for asking, and God bless you!

[Grateful2God]

In our society it is; once again, it is between the couple and God: no one else.

[Grateful2God]

Just look it up, as better minds than I, as well as verbatim documents are right there. It really is simple. God bless you, Elsie, et.al., and have a good night.

[tbpiper]

just curious as to what you think

I think you're dodging the question. I also think the doctrine of the virgin birth is absolutely true. I think, from what I've read in God's word that Joseph and Mary were a normal married couple and had children after their 'first born'(not their 'only born'). Excepting the virgin birth, I think the Marian Doctrine is a despicable hearsay.

[Elsie]

Very complex.

>> Y’all are really reaching.

Without the Church, you’d be flossing Islam’s pubic hair from your teeth.

[Elsie]

True.

But you asked G2G the question; I merely butted in.

Look at HER answer here, and hold HER feet to the fire.

At least I posted some DATA and not my OPINION.

So what’s the point of praying to Mary if there’s no guaranteeing she’ll even hear you?

1. 1. A novena (from Latin: Novem, meaning Nine) is an institutional act of religious pious devotion in the Roman Catholic Church, often consisting of private or public prayers repeated for nine successive days in belief of obtaining special intercessory graces.

Faith doesn't need guarantees! Just because she isn't God, doesn't mean she can't hear me. People who now exist in eternity, as opposed to time, possess an awareness they could not when on earth.

God bless you!

(I almost bought a Chevy Novena back in the early 80’s)

I've had 4 Vegas.

One day I bought a riding mower, that did NOT run, for $200.

I also bought, the same day, a Vega that DID run for $50!

[Elsie]

I would just like your opinion on subject of praying to Mary.

She's DEAD.

She hears NOTHING.

[Elsie]

In our society it is; once again, it is between the couple and God: no one else.

In YOUR chosen religion; it is a MAJOR doctrine; and; evidently to some minds; a major selling point.

[Elsie]

Just look it up, as better minds than I, as well as verbatim documents are right there. It really is simple.

But apparently; not for you.

In the future; PLEASE have your evidence ready for the jury.

THIS one is not listening to hearsay.

:)!!! Mufasa! Mufasa! :) JMJ!

[Grateful2God]

You’re always ready with sources, such as wiki: bad Popes. I gave you two sites, directly from the sources where the documents are kept. It’s good to go directly, isn’t it?

[Grateful2God]

"You report; we decide."

And since when is a stranger's opinion on the internet the arbiter of what I believe?

[Grateful2God]

"THIS one is not listening to hearsay."

No, just posting pictures and cartoons, making insults, etc.."Listening" doesn't seem to fit in there.
