Still waiting.
I see the caths have luther on the bad list for this discussion. Bring up mary and they might vote him in as pope.
The 'religion'?
Jesus never founded a religion, and if he WAS Catholic did he leave or was he excommunicated? It seems He has been replaced by the Catholic Mary.
The religion at the time was led by the Pharisees and Jesus condemned them over and over for their fancy clothes and religious traditions.
What goes around comes around and what do we have but Catholicism modeled after the Pharisees and their "religion." Prepare to witness Jesus dealing with the neo-Pharisees in the near future.
Oh and can the posting of that tired old "Syncro was this and that" stuff over and over, it's childish nonsense.
Syncro is a SCREEN NAME, made up for the internet.
Just because you might believe it because it is Hysterical Catholic facts authorized by the Church Fathers I will tell you about the creation of Syncro.
That internet persona was incubated in a microwave youterus in the laboratorys of the Institute of Phenomonology in the third floor of the IOP towers in Muleshoe, Texas.
Just for logistics, the third floor is 4 floors underground as the building is many floors deep underground before it can be seen towering over the town of Muleshoe.
The gestation period was 12.3 seconds, given the microwave qualities of the uyouterus.
That's the truth from History. Just as true as any one of your posts. Would you like a live link?
[26] And in the sixth month, the angel Gabriel was sent from God into a city of Galilee, called Nazareth, [27] To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin’ s name was Mary. [28] And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. [29] Who having heard, was troubled at his saying, and thought with herself what manner of salutation this should be. [30] And the angel said to her: Fear not, Mary, for thou hast found grace with God...
...[41] And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: [42] And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. [43] And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? [44] For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. [45] And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord.
[46] And Mary said: My soul doth magnify the Lord. [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him.
F O O T N O T E in the Douay-Rheims Bible + Challoner Notes Holy Bible:
[48] Shall call me blessed: These words are a prediction of that honour which the church in all ages should pay to the Blessed Virgin. Let Protestants examine whether they are any way concerned in this prophecy.
See post 284 regarding the holy angel Gabriel’s profound declaration along with blessed Mary’s prophecy regarding herself being called blessed among women.
Scripture assigned the word blessed many other times to many other people... but the Roman Catholic cult tries to ignore what is in front of their eyes! The Mary of that cult only exists in their minds!
^^^^^^^^
Matthew 5:3-12
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. âBlessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Luke 23:29
For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
Revelation 14:13
And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,â says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”
... and many more!
Hmmmm...
Judges 5: 24 “Most blessed of women be Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite,
most blessed of tent-dwelling women. ...
“Hmmmm...
Judges 5: 24 âMost blessed of women be Jael,
the wife of Heber the Kenite,
most blessed of tent-dwelling women. ...”
Your opposition to Mary’s greatness is weakening, I see. Your argument is laughable, can’t you come up with any stronger arguments than that?!
Go ahead, give it another try. Don’t rush:
In an earlier post you said: “That is the danger of honoring the creature Mary, instead of Creator God. I thank God for Mary/s example as well has the example of others. THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD, not his creation.”
I never met a Catholic who honored Mary instead of God. Mary is a portal to Jesus. It is healthy to honor that which reminds us of Jesus, and helps us to him. She brought us Jesus, for heaven’s sake!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Here you say “Quote me your doctrine then. Show me I am wrong...”
For the Church’s doctrine, from the gospel of Luke, Chapter 1, See post 284 regarding the holy angel Gabriel/s profound declaration along with blessed Mary/s prophecy regarding herself being called blessed by all.
Hahahahahahaha!
She' dead, Jim!
NOTHING in Scripture affirms what the Roman Catholic cult assigns to their mythical mary.
She was chosen as a vessel, not a savior! She had no other purpose, no matter what visions and myth surround the cult's version. The adoration and worship of the cult's mary is anathema to God!
I think highly of the virgin who bore the Christ.The Roman Catholic cult's version. Not at all!
I would more easily find a reason to bow to the tooth fairy or the Easter Bunny! But, as Scripture teaches us, we should bow to nobody but God!
Water can NOT cover the mountains all over the world....far to complicated for God to handle... scoff
If you get ELECTED to be the pope; you get to make up ANOTHER 'screenname'!
No; they are not.
Prots call Jesus' mother BLESSED; just like the book says.
Rome has VASTLY expanded FAR beyond the simple words of Scripture that Rome initially compiled together into the Bible.
Luke 1:48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Dang!
I missed this!!
I merely asked where all that water went.
If the entire planet was covered by water(40 days and nights wouldn't have done it) to the height of Mount Everest....where did all that water go?...29,029 feet of water is a lot of water.....that's 6 miles deep.....EVERYWHERE.
Sorry for bringing that thread over here.
