Too late, so now I urge you to bring joy and harmony to the members here.Then don't read it Stump![]()
To those who give they shall have it returned in spadesToo late, so now I urge you to bring joy and harmony to the members here.
I recognize they Call on Mary, as they have Said…. And Pray TO her.Catholics know the same things, unlike Protestants, each denomination knows different things.
You accuse Catholics praying to the deads.
Yes my Bible says that.Yet, your 'sola scriptura' bible says:
Matthew 22:32 that God "is not the God of the dead, but of the living, pointing directly to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Yes… and exactly Where IS “Your body”…?‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
Jesus did not say Abraham, Isaac and Jacob dead people!
Ahhh, yes - there's that "Gaslighter" slur again . . .Flat out False Accuser…Gaslighter.
“I SAID” no such thing!
My “Rejection” is the “Living” attempting to Communicate with “ANY” of the “Departed”.
“A Saint in Heaven or a Fallen in Hell”.
My “Acceptance” is to Communicate with the “Saints “ON Earth”…
Pray FOR them.
Pray WITH them.
Petition them to Pray FOR or WITH me.
Never Pray TO Them.
Scripture … To the Saints “ON” Earth…
Salute, greet with a kiss, be hospitable, contribute to the poor, visit in prison,
Minister to….
While “it seems all your “saints” are bodily Dead and Departed”…
And no Scriptures For the Mortally Alive TO attempt to interact with the departed…
AND …
My perspective according to Scripture…
IS…
God takes care of the Saints IN Heaven…
AND…
The bodily alive saints “ON Earth”…are to assist in “caring for the saints “ON Earth”!
Acts 9:13……..saints in Jerusalem
Acts9:33………saints at Lydda
1 Cor 14:33… churches of saints
2 Cor 1:1 ……..saints at Achaia
Eph 1:1…………saints at Ephesus
Phi 1:1………….saints at Philippi
Col 1:2………….saints at Colosse
Rom 1:7…………saints at Rome
A completely OPPOSITE “View and Understanding”, between you and me.
NEXT..[16] Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
NEXT..
Just calling out heresy when it raises its ugly head . . .Get over yourself BOL, I do not consider you or the Vatican as the authority to teach Scripture
Go waste the time of others
goto here:I recognize they Call on Mary, as they have Said…. And Pray TO her.
Mary’s Body IS Dead, in the Earth. Not in Heaven.
When a man on Earth Prays “FOR” ( not “TO”another ) the prayer is For the Whole of that man…body, soul, spirit.
Yes my Bible says that.
Yes… and exactly Where IS “Your body”…?
My body is Already Dead… crucified with Jesus…My saved soul, quickened spirit… lives IN Christs Risen Body…
Until my own body is risen IN glory.
Bodily dead saints Bodily Raised out of their graves
And appeared to men on Earth with Jesus walking about..Whole?
Matt:27:52-53
Just a Fact…Ahhh, yes - there's that "Gaslighter" slur again . . .
Again Gaslighter…WOW - now THAT was quite the angry
You can call my speech nonsense all you please…You used up FOUR posts echoing the SAME nonsense . . .
I’m not arguing with you Gaslighter.Again – your ENTIRE argument
can be reduced to your total rejection of the Communio0n of Saints.
You mean without me Deciding your Emotions and disagreeing with you?Allow me to explain . . .
Christs Church …are the Saved.The Church is made or of 3 parts:
- The Church Militant - the Church on earth.
- The Church Suffering - the Church going through final purification (1 Cor. 3:10-15, Matt. 5:25-26, Matt. 12:32, Matt. 18:32-35, Luke 12:58-59). Since nothing impure or unclean can enter Heaven (Rev. 21:27)., final purification is necessary for many.
- The Church Triumphant – the Church in Heaven (2 Cor. 5:6, Phil. 1:23, Heb. 12:1).
And “saints” in heaven need you FOR WHAT?? To be comforted, fed, adored, helped ?? Jesus with them is Not Sufficient to make them at peace and rest in comfort?ALL of the parts make up the ONE BODY of Christ. Paul writes that ALL of the parts of the Body NEED each other (1 Cor. 12:12-20).
It’s not up to you…to attempt to impose on saints in Heaven With The Lord God.It’s not up to YOU to change the will of GOD.
No. I ‘ll stick with the Truth and Understanding the Lord God has Given me…If that’s too much for you to handle – then maybe you should re-think some of your twisted beliefs . . .
No thanks…goto here:

Why Christians Call Mary the Mother of God.
Nowhere in Scripture is Mary called 'the mother of God' The absence of the exact phrase "Mother of God" in Scripture does not refute the doctrine. The terms "Trinity" and "Incarnation" are not found verbatim in Scripture either, yet they describe biblical truths. Elizabeth was the first...www.christianityboard.com
OK, the Bible is your only authority.Get over yourself BOL, I do not consider you or the Vatican as the authority to teach Scripture
Go waste the time of others
The Apostles wrote the 27 books of the NT & not the Vatican/Roman Catholic ChurchOK, the Bible is your only authority.
so, let take a look at what your authority actually said.
Acts 15, church members argued on 'Must Gentiles follow Mosaic Law?'. When disagreements arose, Christians didn’t say, “Everyone check your Bible.”
They asked: What did the apostles teach?
Council of Jerusalem was held. No Gospel quote settled it. Apostles met, debated, prayed, and issued a decision. The ruling was binding on churches.
Turn out, you are the one who do not follow your 'authority'!
Among these 27 books, the gospel of Matthew clearly stated that Jesus gave the keys to heaven to Peter and his church......not to any Protestant XYZ Church.The Apostles wrote the 27 books of the NT & not the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church
check your biblical knowledge first!The Apostles wrote the 27 books of the NT
Gal 2:7-9Among these 27 books, the gospel of Matthew clearly stated that Jesus gave the keys to heaven to Peter and his church......not to any Protestant XYZ Church.
Jesus also asked Peter to feed his sheep, attend HIS flocks.
Does it imply only Peter's flock is Jesus' flock?
check your biblical knowledge first!
Mark, Luke, James, and Jude are not apostles.
GOD's appointed holy men (not apostles any more?) wrote the 27 books of the NT.GOD's appointed holy men wrote the 27 books of the NT & not the Vatican/Roman Catholic Church
Did you say Jude was not an Apostle ?
Hmm, let's see :-"""Mark, Luke, James, and Jude are not apostles.""
OOPS, you wrong :)

Accuracy is important & I see that I missed disciples while rapidly typing![]()
well......things written by Catholics/vatican....have authority now!
This statement looks like the fig leaves on Adam, to hide your shame.Accuracy is important & I see that I missed disciples while rapidly typing
The 27 books of the NT were written by Apostles/Disciples
