Thanks for clearing that up. Couple of questions if you don't mind. Is it true that the RCC teach that Mary was sinless. And what is the hail Mary, does this not glorify her? Thanks
I am not sure... I'm not Catholic but hopefully someone else will answer for you.

I believe Mary was human, but the Lord considered her righteous.

I do not know the answer to the question however on a side note there was a man who taught me something about the Catholics ~ He was around the age of probably 87 (lived in a nursing home) used wheelchair to get around.

His name was D. (Privacy protection) ~ He told me that Satan used to be a very close friend of God ~ That even though Satan rebelled, God tossed Him out of heaven, and gave him the power to rule the earth. Because of God and whom he is according to this view that was being taught me he mentioned that God will never destroy Satan but always keep Him around.

Which is not what the bible teaches ~ But he told me haha that it makes a lot of sense the more you think about it.

Just told him huh... that is interesting never been taught that or told that before ...

Afterwards carried on with my meal that was being eaten.

But they don't make the best things for God, they make the best things for their clergy/elite. Some of the things do not seem to be very much for God.

Who do you think clergy serve? hmm. Bugs bunny maybe? No they serve the Almighty God whom you would give muddy garments instead of the best from your wardrobe. The people dis this to glorify God but in your modern ideas you don't understand this.

Best things for God would be for everyone including the poor. Priorities. Its bad that Vatican has so much wealth while others have so little.

The wealth does not belong to the Vatican it belongs to all in the Church, but you all can't be bothered to understand that.

Actually there are 72 not the butchered 66 that you use that Jews who hated Christ put together. See the problem is you won't get over your evangicalness to even look at the true meaning of the word pray, that is why having conversations like this are fruitless. You all don't want real conversations just gotcha ones from your butchered bibles.

Instead of asking hat Catholics believe and how you can understand better with having an intelligent conversation, you bear false witness against the brethren. Maybe next tie you could ask nicely, hopefully that is not to hard for protestants to do.

I have read those books and I still read Wisdom of Solomon from time to time, but I also see how it encourages child abuse. A few truths here and there but overall, no.

Those books were removed because they did not align with the gospel.

It is also not Catholic teaching, just an old man's opinion. If you really want to know what the Catholic Church teaches look at their Catechism which is backed up with Scripture.

Your defensiveness and haughty words towards the believers of Christ discredits your understanding.

Cruelty leaves you without reputation for showing the love of Christ, therefore if you can not show the love of the Holy Spirit in your character, your understanding may be dismissed.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23)

You have only proven what you have not learned.

Thank you

My apologies to @Mosheli

You need to study history and not your protestant silly stuff but real history. The Bible you use does not come from the Holy Spirit but from a Jewish sanhedrin called the council of jamnia whom hated Christianity. Anyway you don't care to find out the truth you just want to waste time with your lying attacks

You have a nice day.

This verse shows that Mary was a sinner because she has a Saviour

New King James Version Luke 1:47 And my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior.

Okay @Taodeching thank you

May God give the increase here to all of the believers here and their families.

May the Love of God, and peace and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with thee, all.

What is that one scripture: May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. 2 Corinthians 13:14

I have actually examined the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC). It is a mixture of truth and error, just like all teachings of the RCC. Unless Scriptures are properly interpreted and understood, they can lead to false teachings.

Hello ByGrace,

One can save another by pulling them out of a pit...
They can also save another by keeping them from falling into a pit..

Jesus did the latter for His mother.

Peace be with you!

Christ is risen!
Alleluia!

Mary was a sinner just like you and I. There is zero Bible evidence that Mary was sinless, which is impossible, as to be such, she would have to be God!
