    Speaking uncharitably isn't charity (love). Unlike you, Jesus knew the eternal fate of each person, and yet He still didn't tell those Who He knew would spend eternity in Hell that they were going to Hell. He spoke to and treated them with charity (love) by continuing to preach the ways in which...

    "Enough" as in "Enough of speaking uncharitably." You can and should defend truths and combat falsehoods without being uncharitable towards the soul you're engaging with. Do everything with charity (love), otherwise it's of no value.

    There's no mention in the Gospels of Christ that the Magi were astrologists. Take care as well.

    Enough. You're being uncharitable and that's not the way to the Kingdom of Heaven.

    God, not satan, created the universe, including the stars, and all of creation is subject to the One Who created it. God is the One Who declared all that He created to be good. God doesn't condemn the study of anything good that He created.

    No, they said, "“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.” (Matt. 2:2) At King Herod's palace in Jerusalem, at the time of the Magi's arrival, he learned from them that the King of the Jews had been born, as well as learned...

    If satan sent the star for the purpose you claim, then after King Herod had learned from the Magi, chief priests, and teachers of the Law that the King of the Jews had been born in Bethlehem, there would've been no further need for the star, King Herod would've fulfilled the prophecy of Jeremiah...

    I do see that satan had an evil desire to kill Jesus, which is why I don't see satan also having sent a star that led the Magi to Jesus's exact location in Bethlehem, so they could offer their gifts and pay homage to/worship Him, whether as an earthly king or as God. This argument of mine: •...

    James and James !?

    If Joseph, Simon, James, and Judas (Judas/Thaddeus) were Jesus's half-siblings, it's because they would've shared the same Mother. If you truly want to adhere to the Sola Scriptura, then you won't continue to ignore that the Koine Greek word used is "ἀδελφοί" (adelphoi), or "brothers," not...

    Ouch then, because @Aunty Jane believes satan sent the star of Bethlehem. You shouldn't call her "stupid" though because that's uncharitable, but understand that many people have been deceived by satan on this point.

    False. In post #37, I repeated once an argument I had made for the first time in our discussion in post #33, because you had addressed every argument from post #33, except the one that refutes your belief that satan sent the star: satan wouldn't have led the Magi to Jesus, so that they could...

    I'll address the rest of your post later, but for now I'll repeat what refutes your most blasphemous claim: that satan sent the star of Bethlehem, since you didn't address it in your last post. The Gospels of Christ were written in Koìne Greek, and the Koine Greek word used in verses Matt...

    Was Mary sinless?

    You should meditate on those words, as well as the fact that you denied Jesus's words, "with God all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26) by refusing to accept the truth of that statement, which wouldn't have happened had you been willing to answer the question in post #34. You lied when you said...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Now you've added cowardice to your sin of lying, and your denial of Jesus's words, "with God all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26).
  16. Nephesh

    Was Mary sinless?

    You didn't answer the question in post #34 three or four times. You've now added the sin of lying to your denial of Jesus's words, "with God all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26).

    Was Mary sinless?

    Your refusing to answer my question in post #34 says that you think God wasn't capable of preserving the soul of the Mother of God (or Jesus's Mother), from becoming subject to the law of the first parents (inheriting original sin), and thus you deny that with God all things are possibe (Matt...

    Can we finish our current discussion before starting another? Refer back to post #34 and answer the question please.

    Was Mary sinless?

    I want to be sure I'm understanding your answer, which you can help with by answering this question: Does the answer you gave mean you agree that God, Who "with all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26), was capable of preserving the soul of the Mother of God (or Jesus's Mother) from becoming...

    Was Mary sinless?

    Is that your way of agreeing that you agree God, Who "with all things are possible" (Matt. 19:26), was capable of preserving the soul of the Mother of God from becoming subject to the law of the first parents (inheriting original sin)?
