It only took 21 minutes. He's outdone himself!
That scapular idol has really demented your mind.
It's going to drag you down to the very place you're so desperate to avoid.
Only faith in Christ, and only Christ, can save you.
This has been shared with you many times.
And you’ll continue to see it....that guilt, ebb...that guilt.
This is why Satan hates the Brown Scapular
The Scapular – A Powerful Weapon against the Devil
Only a demented mind would join Satan in his attacks.
Someone is bearing false witness. Not a first for him, though.
8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! 9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
Galatians 1:6-9 NASB 95
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, 15and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; 16in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Eph 6:10-17 NASB 95
John 20:23
23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained [John 20:23]
Your snide remarks aside, I never said that the brothers were cousins. I believe Joseph was a widower who had other children before he became betrothed to the Blessed Virgin. It’s an ancient tradition, much older than the “cousins” idea, which became popular in the 5th century. As far as your opinion on Catholic apologetics, there isn’t one ancient document, writing or statement that Mary didn’t remain a virgin after Our Lord’s birth. The tradition was held even post-reform
"Only approved" by one lone person who can't even spell "eagle".
No, I didn’t have a scriptural answer to your gotcha type question..
That’s an honest answer to your question

No one thinks that Mary and Joseph having relations would be sinful. But Our Lady held eternity in her womb. I think their marriage was a bit different from other marriages.
The Roman Catholic Mary can be a perpetual virgin if they want..
It doesn’t make her the real deal.
And that’s the real rub.
Genuine vs fake/false
Scripture is a powerful weapon to tell the difference..
Sorry for the double post.
Straining at gnats while swallowing camels.
And that was my honest assessment of your “knowledge” of Scripture.
Martin Luther was at the start of the last 500 years.
If he lived when the Papacy finally got their own calendar, maybe the lightbulbs would have gone off and he would have attempted to flee Rome doctrines then..
The Papacy and the Apostles don’t have the same Jesus nor the same gospel.
And it looks like they don’t have the same Mary either..
Lots has happened in about 2,000 years, let alone the last 500.
I wasnt there to take account of who was there.
All I can tell from the scriptures is that Christ’s mother was told to go home with one of His Disciples.
That’s it.
That’s all the scriptures say.
I do know when the bible says Maybe didn’t ‘know her’ until after Christ was born doesn’t mean he met her after the event..
Maybe you need to brush up on biblical marriage and the covenant that’s created when the man ‘knows’ his bride..
That's quite interesting. The Apostles don't have the same Jesus nor the same gospel?
Who were the authors of the Gospel? Were they not Apostles? Were they not at the Last Supper?
Yet, delchiate's little personal "jesus" has nothing to with his apostles, nor the Gospel they preached.
