Since we know there is nothing new under the sun, I wonder what Mormon doctrines were called, say, a thousand years ago, and where did their doctrines come from? 🤣😁👎🔥

You should treat the Mother of God …

My GOD had no mother; just someone who supplied some flesh for Him to wear.


 
Hebrews 7:3
He is without father or mother or genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God he continues a priest forever.
 
HMMMmmm...
 

14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,

“You are a priest forever,
    after the order of Melchizedek.”

You should treat the Mother of God with respect and not make false statements that Catholics worship her.

You damn well BETTER worship her!!

Translation:  "that those who do not serve Mary will not be saved; for those who are deprived of the help of this great Mother are also deprived of that of Her Son and of the whole court of heaven."

Is if some Catholic somewhere had the integrity to be actually embarrassed about drivel like that instead of swooning over it.

Well, how about me? 😁🤗🤑 I was a little embarrassed by most of the Catholic doctrines. Maybe that is why I had no problems leaving the church. What embarrassed me the most, was the concept of holy water. Even as a Catholic, I thought holy water, was the hokiest thing I ever heard of. I was really embarrassed by it. Purgatory and Limbo embarrassed me too.

Ooops....

But that won’t convince them either.

They will just double down on the Catholic deception.

Honestly, Jesus having a sinless mother would detract from Jesus, not add to him.

“For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

And that includes the temptations that rise from having a sinful mother.

Pretty good flesh, though. Jesus kept it after coming back from the dead after all and took it with him when he ascended into Heaven.

It says something special about God’s love for us that God the Son chooses to become one of us and live into eternity.

Just... that it was God that made it holy, not Mary, Catholic-Mary or otherwise.

It’s about exalting Mary into a demigoddess

Being sinless gives her top rank in the Roman Pantheon of Demigods and Demigodesses.

True, but raising Mary into a goddess is an insult to Christ on two levels, and I was pointing out the second level.

What really shows His great love for us? The only scars in the perfection of Heaven are borne by the only truly perfect One. Scars He gladly received for our benefit. Think about that for a while.

Catholics are taught that being Catholic makes you better than everyone else. Not a forgiven sinner, but morally and intellectually superior, and the ONLY group deserving of salvation because of all their good works. The pride of being in “the one true church” is a lure that is hard to escape.

There is pride in being a Catholics to some degree, but more so in their church, and I think the cultic devotion so often seen by propagandists is due to their self-proclaimed one true church being the source of their spiritual security, and thus they manifest compelled assertions of refuted Catholic teaching, as if that parroting made it true, and or the often desperate attempts to actually defend them. For the RCC is almost like God to many, and thus they cannot stand to see its authority threatened,and thus blithely repeat Catholic beliefs in order comfort themselves, and or desperately contrive arguments to defend her.

May God peradventure grant them "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth" (2 Timothy 2:25)for salvation.

Ah, typical Catholic response.

“YOU’RE A LIAR!”

With no refuting evidence.

LAME; you didn’t even call me the devil this time!

Exactly. Just my opinion, but I think we will be spending eternity, getting to know God better. After a trillion trillion eons have passed, we will still be barely scratching the surface. 😁🤣🤑
