Catholics have only existed since Constantine invented them in 364 AD.
Don’t blame me. Take it up with St. Matthew.
I had it a couple times many years ago.
Yes it is good. Afritada is even better.
“can a person be the mother of an individual who existed before the mother was even conceived?”
Absolutely. My mother did not create ME. My body is not ME. My soul existed before I was conceived, just as Jesus existed before He was made incarnate. Mary as ‘mother of God’ is only a problem if you believe that Jesus did not exist until He was born.
Turn it around again...How is God the Father of Jesus if they have both always existed?

Here are links to said translation addressing the *born again* objection.
Both Jesus and Peter said something about being *born again*, and that is how the Douay-Rheims Bible, the official CATHOLIC Bible, translates it - born again.

Mine was
J Vernon McGee/ I can hear his voice in my head.
Great accent! He gave the phrase ‘my beloved’ a pure agape air.
If you weren't such a HATEFUL Bigot; you'd know!!
It's OBVIOUS; from the text; that the Holy Spirit is a Protestant!
Otherwise the text would say...
John 14:26
But the Church, the Early Church Fathers, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you; and some things I failed to say.
...instead of...
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
And this is proven where?

That is just about the worst attempt at apologetics I think I've seen from catholicism.
That is about the worst attempt at refutation I think I have seen on this forum.
The comparison is exactly logically correct.
How is it not?

The ONLY thing I know about Mary; is that Jesus came from her womb.
HMMMmmm...

Do you even know what a rite is? A right has there own liturgy there is only one Catechism, one Church one Pope. Please educate yourself.
Folks' you just canNOT make this stuff UP!
Can’t even answer that question. I’m going to start my own Bible-beleivimg Church since I interpret Deutoronomy a little differently than I did yesterday.
So you agree, then, that she is the mother of God.
Love, O2
