Only a moron who knew absolutely nothing about Christianity could imagine that the title “Mother of God” meant anything other than what it has always meant: Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God.

Only a stubborn Organization would teach it's members to endlessly repeat a phrase not found in the bible for one which is.


Just what is so WRONG with chanting:

Hail Mary; Mother of Jesus; pray for us sinners...

If a person were to be conceived without Original Sin, that person would have been saved from Original Sin.

But, since she was saved from Original Sin by her Savior,...

The jury will note that no evidence to this 'fact' has been shown to the court.

Rome HAS to make it's Mary sinless; so that she has the POWER to do all the stuff it has claimed her to be able to do.

Instead Rome came to much hinder free access to personal Bible reading.

Not so much about reading it; but about having the ability to UNDERSTAND it 'correctly'.

Your strenuously arguing against those idiotic errors implies that you think there are many people stupid enough to fall into them.

HMMMmmm...


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.

Mary said it herself: "And Mary said: "My soul exalts the Lord, And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior." (Luke 1:46-47)

Scripture TEACHES that Mary is the mother of God even though Scripture does not use "mother of God" as a title for Mary.

Hold this thought!

'cause I'm going to apply the PRINCIPLE to every PROTESTANT only teaching you Catholics rail against!

And yes they introduce a lot of heresies.

Are you STILL fussing over the FACT that the seven churches in Asia were CATHOLIC???

The fact that she was saved and called God her "savior" IMPLIES EXACTLY that she was a sinner.

Sinless Mary??
 
 
Luke 2:22-24
 
When the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord  (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, “Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord”),  and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: “a pair of doves or two young pigeons.”
 

Leviticus 12:7-8
 
Then he shall offer it before the LORD and make atonement for her, and she shall be cleansed from the flow of her blood. This is the law for her who bears a child, whether a male or a female.
'But if she cannot afford a lamb, then she shall take two turtledoves or two young pigeons, the one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for her, and she will be clean.'"

Logic is beyond the mental capacity of anti-Catholic bigots.

Why that's crazy...Catholics don't have the market on logic and reasoning...If you priests would read the scriptures you'd know God tells us to avoid human logic because it is foolishness...

Pro_3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

1Co_1:19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
1Co_1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?<.b>

1Co_2:4 And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

1Co_2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

1Co_1:22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

There's a hundred verses that teach against relying on man's wisdom and human philosophy (logic)...

I have had multiple bigots DENY that this is a valid syllogism:

Mary is the mother of Jesus.
Jesus is God.
Mary is the mother of God.

They say that “human reason” can play no role when we are talking about Jesus.

We say that because God says that...

But God DID die on the cross! That’s precisely why it MATTERS that Jesus died on the cross!

Well then who resurrected God if God was dead???

Mary has NEVER been called the Mother of the Trinity. The title “Mother of God” has never meant that Mary is the Mother of the Trinity.

If Mary is the mother of God it would be impossible that she is not the mother of the Trinity...

If you read my posts, you will note that I didn't call anyone on FR a "moron." In fact, I was referring to Fourth Century Christians - and I said that THEY were NOT morons.

 

 

You are forgetting one thing: The Christians who have called Mary "the Mother of God" have not been morons.

Only a moron who knew absolutely nothing about Christianity could imagine that the title "Mother of God" meant anything other than what it has always meant: Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is God.

No Father of the Church, no bishop, no council, no Pope, has been the kind of low-grade moron that one would have to be in order to think that Mary could be the Mother of God the Father, or the Mother of the Trinity.

Christianity is not about what is probable.

Catholicism IS largely about what is claimed to be possible.

...but we do know she was a believer and is in Heaven with our Lord and Savior.

I don't 'know' this.

Did she take the red-eye flight?
