You haven't identified the sun's mother sushiman. Can't be born without a mother. You need to work on that story.
Chapter and verse on all that and those titles?
Actually, Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
You really need to become more familiar with Scripture and the CCC ain't it.
I wonder why He always told the prophets to write then?
Jesus doesn't *dispense* His grace in stingy little parcels as the hands of men.
Ephesians 1:3-10 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
John 1:14-17 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
To the best of my knowledge, the Scriptures make no relationship between the so-called vacancy left by the fallen angels and the creation of humankind. We are a different order of being. So that whole line of thought strikes me as totally speculative and therefore totally unprofitable. Like CS Lewis once said, it isn’t the things I don’t understand in the Bible that bother me. It’s the things I do understand that bother me.

The Sun, since the first day of summer, has each day been moving southward, and stops when it reaches its lowest point in the Northern Hemispheric sky (December 22nd - our winter solstice).
At this lowest point, the Sun stops its journey southward. For three days, December 22nd, 23rd , and 24th, the Sun rises on the exact same latitudinal (declination) degree.
This is the only time in the year that the Sun actually stops its movement Northward or Southward in our sky. On the morning of December 25th the Sun moves one degree northward beginning its annual journey back to us in the Northern Hemisphere, ultimately bringing our spring. Anything steadily moving all year long that suddenly stops moving for three days was considered to have died. Therefore, God’s Sun who was dead for three days, moves one-degree Northward on December 25th beginning its annual journey back to the Northern Hemisphere. The Sun is symbolically ....BORN AGAIN.
“One man’s opinion...”
Actually the opinion of millions, but sadly not quite accurate. I cannot find a list of the Sacraments, or the words “Catholic Church” in the Bible, among many other claims of the Catholic Church, but they do have a very neat program to walk you through the steps to His Salvation. That folks like Pelosi, etc. (openly unrepentant sinners) are not banned from receiving the Eucharist is a good sign of the Catholic Church failing its membership for lack of proper discipline. Not that any denomination has higher ground for want of failures...
Far out!
“Actually, Jesus Christ was born so that Mary could be the Mother of God, the Mother of All Christians, Queen of the Angels, and Mediatrix of All Graces.”
I find it hard to conceive that a self-described priest could believe something this heretical.
Since this didn’t come from the Bible, where did you pick up this idea?
I think Arthur is just being sarcastic ..he is “playing with us
My purpose was two-fold:
1) to give offense;
2) to demonstrate that some people are humorless prigs.
You failed at #1 - I felt sorrow for you.You failed at #2 - That would have required actual humor. Given your posting history, it was likely you actually believed what you posted.
I never said I posted anything I don’t believe.
But I most certainly DID succeed at #2. The problem, from your point of view, is that a fish does not know what water is.
“But I most certainly DID succeed at #2. The problem, from your point of view, is that a fish does not know what water is.”
Sure Arther.
From my point of view, what you posted was absolutely consistent with your other posts - particularly, a lack of understanding of the Scriptures. It was no leap at all to conclude it was more of the same. That was the sad part.
There aren't any stars up there...It's all snow...There isn't any sun either...
No; it does not.
From other Catholics; of course!
Didn't you read #68?
