Praying of the Rosary Is NOT Bible-Based Teaching

But throwing a hissy fit because an artist didn't put every detail in a concept painting....really?

The Professional Religious Organization; based in Salt Lake City; is RESPOSIBLE for the things it APPROVES.

Nice try to blame the ARTIST and let your Living Prophet® and his cronies off the hook.

(Sadanduseless? REALLY??)

I just stumbled upon this in my morning reading:

Heb 12:7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. 9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

There is such a Satanic and subtle difference between "Mother of my Lord" which is scriptural and "Mother of God" which, as you say, has intrinsic meaning that is intentionally ignored yet cannot be ignored.

I have friends who hate Christianity though not me specifically. They know what is offensive and that is where they tweek me whenever it seems fun to them. Sometimes it's like being tweeked on this issue.

..I’ve been pondering the content of this post...

Pondering will get a MORMON in trouble.

"When the Prophet speaks; the thinking has been done."

And still the Holy Spirit never once used the term “mother of God”. Nor did He use the term “mother of God with us”. Adding to the words of God is not a good thing.

[Elsie]

First, there is no reason to believe your Prophet when he lies to his own congregation regarding the number of his wives.

You HATER!!

It's like the ARTIST: He merely left out DETAILS from the overall picture!!

--MormonDude(When would be a good time for a couple of our clean cut young folks to stop by your home and more fully explain the Restored Gospel® to you and your loving family?)

The phrase “Mother of God” in the Scriptures.

What can ya do?

[Elsie]

I have shown many verses that support the concept of Mary as mother of God incarnate in the person of Jesus, true God and true man. There has been nothing posted that directly contradicts any one of those verses.

I like goalposts that remain fixed on the playing field.

[Elsie]

Foreknown, predestined, called, justified, glorified.

That's IT?

[Legatus]

God's divinity wasn't even manifest in Jesus til he was 30 years old...

And BINGO! We have a heretic! That's why the BVM must be declared the Mother of God. That sentence smells of Adoptionism.

[Elsie]

They know what is offensive (to them) and that is where they tweek me whenever it seems fun to them.

[DungeonMaster]

That's IT?

Well yes. Election/predestination seems pretty clear to me from the bible.

[Elsie]

3 Nephi shows that these people had great faith in Jesus.

Neat trick; since Jesus had not yet been clothed in flesh.

[CynicalBear]

>>Therefore, He prepared the Book of Mormon to fill the gaps that were lost in the Great Apostasy.<<

Or so some have been misled to believe. Why do you discount Muhammed?

[Elsie]

Over time I'm sure they figured it out.

I'm sure you'll figure it out someday as well.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply & the high compliment paid me.

I honor the Blessed Virgin and the Saints. Their lives are examples to all. I believe that they and our departed ones in Heaven have not lost awareness of this our world.

But I also believe that Christ does not require intercession and that we who call on Him for assistance can dial direct as it were. We call on the Name of the Lord and invoke the Name of His Son. He has never failed me.

And still the Holy Spirit never once used the term “mother of God”. Nor did He use the term “mother of God with us”.

It seems clear to me from this answer to my question that you have not confessed that Miriam is the woman prophesied in Isaiah who would call her son Immanuel. Are the Jews correct then to look for another ?

Miriam/Mary is the mother of Immanuel which means, courtesy of Matthew, that Mary is the mother of "God with us."

Adding to the words of God is not a good thing.

Do you mean
1. posting in general,
2. using phrases like like pre-tribulation rapture, bible believer, new testament saint, baptism of the Holy Spirit, born again believer, personal savior, saved by faith alone, sola scriptura, perseverance of the saints,
3. changing the English in the Authorized Version,
4. anything of which you are not personally persuaded ?

`Oliver Cowdery has confusion on what color shirt to wear, Joseph Smith goes to the Lord and the Lord’s will is revealed...

“My son Oliver, hearken and hear and behold what I the Lord God shall say unto you, I the Lord God would have you wear the blue shirt, yea even the bluest shirt, you are my son and blessed are you that believe...” ‘

Umm.. In case you didn't notice, I was seeking clarification of the meaning of the post to which I responded.

YOU were not the recipient of that query.

If I wanted to know YOUR take on the resurrection of Jesus I would have addressed you.

Some have an innate desire to be patted on the back for espousing correct theology, almost as if they were the sole repository of such knowledge with the sole mission in life to be sure everyone knows that.

You seem to misunderstand how Free Republic operates and sound like a petulant noobie who bullies when not winning the discussion. Okay, so you don't want to hear what is true except when it pleases you.

[CynicalBear]

And still rather than use the words the Holy Spirit used Catholics would use words of their own construct. In their unceasing attempts to give credit to man rather than to God where it belongs they subtly change the words just and just as Eve was deceived so too Catholics.

[Resettozero]

But I also believe that Christ does not require intercession and that we who call on Him for assistance can dial direct as it were. We call on the Name of the Lord and invoke the Name of His Son. He has never failed me.

He won't fail His own, ever.

But about the rest of this religious baggage you tote with you...
