[Repent and Believe]

Using statues and paintings to help us pray and worship the Lord our God is not sharing his praise with carved idols.

“Then why don’t you do it before a STATUE of Jesus?”

I don’t?

Someone pointed out earlier that the blessed mother didn’t say much in scripture. Maybe its because she didn’t say much in public. Or in the church.

Here is a good passage that applies to her and others who would be like her:

First Epistle Of Saint Paul To The Corinthians Chapter 14:

[34] Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. [35] But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul I will not ask for Elsie’s reply.

Why, Elsie, I think you were just accused of being a "woman"! Bet your wife will be surprised.

FYI...R&B, Free Republic Religion Forum threads are NOT "church"...in case you didn't realize that.

Do you go to the same sect of Catholicism as afvet?

He also tried misusing that Scripture to silence the opposition when he was taking a beating as well.

I’m curious as to why Catholics who dismiss Scripture so frequently love to try to beat others into submission with it as if suddenly they find it authoritative.

It’s almost as if they expect Christians to roll over and play dead the minute someone (mis)quotes Scripture at them. Like we’re going to say *Oh NOES! He used Scripture! Now we have to listen to everything he says.*

But Catholics problem is that Christians can think for themselves and we don’t just parrot the party line of our church. And we’re not just a bunch of pansies.

We can tell when someone is trying to manipulate us into submission with Scripture.

I don’t?

MILLIONS do.

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul I will not ask for Elsie’s reply.

And in keeping with the WORDS of St. Paul...

2 Timothy 3:16-17

16. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17. so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul...

To bad Rome no longer adheres to the 'spirit' of the letter that the ECFs wrote in Acts 15.

[Elsie]

[34] Let women keep silence in the churches:

But; if you are without sin; you may return to earth over and over again; speaking a vast number of topics and promising many things that your son failed to get recorded by the Apostles.

[Elsie]

...failed to get recorded by the Apostles.

For those keeping score; this is Elsie 1:4

Here is a good passage that applies to her and others who would be like her:

HMMMmmm...

The 4 times her words were recorded; she was NEVER in church.
