What's for dinner?

If you think that the fact that one of the terms in a syllogism is “God” makes an iota of difference to the validity of the syllogism, then you haven’t a scintilla of shadow of a clue what the science of Logic is about.
God wears a pink raincoat.
Everyone who wears a pink raincoat was born in Poughkeepsie.
God was born in Poughkeepsie.
Please answer this yes-or-no question:
Is the above syllogism valid or invalid?
LOL, whatever you say dude. The only thing I agree with you on, is that one of us is right. I am supremely confident, that I would rather take my chances with Jesus. You take your chances on "religion" if you like. That's on you. Remember, eternity will last much longer than anyone can EVER imagine, so you don't want to mess it up. Remember also, Jesus said unless one is born anew from above, he will NOT see Heaven. (John 3:3) I believe that means the vast majority of people will end up in a far warmer place than they wanted to. Such is life, as they say.
BTW, my catholic friends just left. They are definitely wiser now. 😀😃😆 I would say they are like the Bereans.
insomnia
(figured I'd answer it before you asked)
AHHHhhh...
Oh?
If this were REALLY so; she'd be mentioned all over the NT.
She is not.
Explain why they failed to record any of her earthly accomplishments.
Attack me; instead of explaining yourself.
Good tactic!
What's for dinner?
And this is ALL the bible has to say about her!
You'd think they'd see how well it has worked for Catholics; and FLOCK back to Rome's loving arms.
Strange birds; these Prots...
You keep saying we are clueless...
All are; for facts are irrelevant.
“somehow 2,000 years of following Christ with 1.4 BILLION members impresses me a little. “
If that is your standard of truth, perhaps you should switch to Hinduism. It been around almost 5,000 years. Just think how impressed you’d be as a Hindu!!!
In the religion of catholiciism, that religion asserts that the priest of the religion brings Jesus The Christ down from Heaven --at every Mass, everywhere on Earth, simultaneously-- to continuously sacrifice Him for the adherents to that religion, so they may EAT Jesus The Christ present in a wafer, 'really present' in that wafer in BODY, BLOOD, SOUL, AND divinity.
That A CATHOLIC refuses to SEE THE BLASPHEMY IN THIS CATHOLICIISM ASSERTION IS EVIDENCE OF A DEAD SOUL WITH NO HOLY SPIRIT IN THEM. And the Bible makes it quite clear why this is blasphemy when The Word states that Jesus died ONCE for ALL, forever and sat down at the Right Hand of God The Father in Heaven, and is not being continuously sacrificed on catholic altars world-wide continuously by a priesthood of earthy men. Jesus remains in Heaven and has told us He will return again, but is not returning to catholic pagan altars to be continuously sacrificed by earthy men performing a pagan ritual.
To hold this pagan ritual to be the means to get God in you, a catholic must ignore the clear Laws from Leviticus and ignore the TRUTH, that Jesus would not have His disciples eating His blood on the very night before He was going to give Himself the Ransom for the World, ONCE for ALL, forever. Jesus did not violate His own Laws for God is not double-minded, and Jesus even told the disciples to do this breaking of bread and drinking of the Passover Wine IN REMEMBRANCE of what He was about to accomplish ONCE for ALL, Forever. He even referred tot he cup contents at the Passover Seder as WINE and would not drink this fruit of the vine again until He drank it again with His disciples in the Kingdom. Jesus will not be drinking His blood in The Kingdom, but that reality must also be ignored in order to follow the blasphemous catholic trail of striving in that pagan religion. (See Luke's account of the Passover Seder, if you dare seek the Truth)
By continuing this blasphemous ritual of catholic Mass, believing the catholic priest sacrifices Jesus The Christ over and over and over again, catholics are lending their soul to the lie that God could not do ONCE for ALL and it be sufficient for the salvation of any who believe on Jesus The Christ. And yet Jesus even gave these poor catholics a huge clue in teaching Nicodemus that the brass snake, one snake image on a pole, was sufficient for ANY WHO even looked at the brass snake, to heal their poisonous snake bites.
Elsie, this current brood of vipers refuse to learn from Jesus Himself as recorded in John's Gospel for their edification regarding salvation by faith, and only by faithing in Jesus. So they continue to pridefully follow the sacrament trail laid out by the earthy men of the magicsteeringthem, asserting with every attendance at the catholic Mass that they can eat Jesus The Christ to get God's Life in them. And they wonder why we oppose their pretend Christianity, their 'other gospel' religion known as catholiciism!
Why does God need a raincoat and why does it need to be pink?
As revealed in Holy Scriptures your proposition is once again incomplete. For we know:
Deuteronomy 11:14
...that He will give the rain for your land in its season, the early and late rain, that you may gather in your grain and your new wine and your oil.
Job 5:10
"He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,
I believe it was Socrates who said we must have all the particulars before engaging in discussion. The 'particular' missing from each of your propositions is the fact that God is the uncreated Creator. And in this most recent case, God causes it to rain and there is no evidence Jesus ever wore a pink raincoat.
Perhaps Arthur, perhaps. However, what I present is what is revealed of the Great Logos. Without getting Logos right, logic is silly business.
1 Cor 2:14 animalis autem homo non percipit ea quae sunt Spiritus Dei stultitia est enim illi et non potest intellegere quia spiritaliter examinatur
It was a yes-or-no question.
Baloney.
Jesus Himself settled that issue. Is Jesus' word on it not enough for you?
And yes, we have a claim to say that Mary mother of God* is not correct because the Holy Spirit referred to her as *Mary, the mother of JESUS*. It takes a lot of chutzpah on the part of arrogant man to presume to change the word of God because they thought the Holy Spirit didn't do a good enough job in inspiring Scripture to be clear enough.
Nonsense, again. The Trinity is woven throughout Scripture, in the OT and the New.
Mary is referred to as mother of JESUS in THREE places in Scripture and as *mother of GOD* in exactly none.
Show us where the Holy Spirit referred to Mary as *mother of GOD* and the argument is settled.
