My opinion (probably faulty) is that nothing brought God into existence. I consider the statement "I AM" to be timeless. As humans, we don't like to consider that which we cannot understand. That is because we only know what we can logically deduce.

Now I'm worried. My wife said she heard our parrot cough.

Your making some assumptions here. First off, what makes you so sure that God isn't creating something right now? You are seeing things only through the perspective of a human being. Time is not relevant to God. Time is only relevant to our perspectives. Also, God can change if he feels like it.

It's so nice in southern Texas right now that I'm gonna celebrate with a cinnamon roll and a coffee.

I'd say that you have a good outline for a novel. Personally, I don't buy the UFO stuff, but you have several good points.

Here is a popular example: Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us...

No. She is not put on the same footing as Jesus, but she is revered and has many prayers focused on her. Especially so in the Catholic hispanic community.

Yes. Big time.

So what? You asked me to answer the question in 23. I did.

I answered the first question in #21. Pay attention.

OK. The answer is NO!

Catholics notwithstanding, you should suck it up and accept the truth. Mary was not sinless.

Yes. That may even be an understatement. I was born into a Catholic family and, as a child I was forced to attend Catechism. While in Viet Nam I studied the bible, so, I naturally left the Catholic church when I got back home. The Catechism was replete with untrue biblical add-ons.

He could have but he didn't. It was appropriate for Mary to be a sinful human in that the whole point in Jesus coming was to interact and teach salvation. Not to glorify his birth mother. God's focus was on Jesus and his mission. Mary was a good and worthy choice of God to bear his son.

Those who rant about having control over THEIR body are missing that the pro-life folks are not talking about THEIR bodies. They are attempting to save the INNOCENT body that is inside them and didn't ask to be there.

In her magnificent psalm uttered while carrying the Christ child, she exclaimed, “My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior” (Luke 1:47). Observe that she referred to the Lord as “my Savior”—not merely “a Savior,” or “the Savior.” No sinless person needs a...

No. Mary didn't need to be perfect. Neither were the people that Jesus loved and ministered to. "All have sinned" implies what it states.

He Could. He could also turn himself into a vacuum cleaner. I believe that He will stand with his original statement.

Even though I share your perception, there is nothing in the Bible to indicate that Satan is omniscient. There are no verses that say he knows everything or that he can read our thoughts. But he is very adept at predicting human behavior because he’s seen it operate for so long. I believe that...

If myself and my friends corrected each other for sins, we wouldn't have time for any other discussions. Just being honest.
