I agree with you. Why do Catholics feel that it's necessary to pray to Mary, a mere human, when they can pray through the God-man, Jesus, to the Father anyway?

Where do you find that basis in the Bible?

Okay.

What do you mean, Johann? I would love to discuss it, but I don't get your response.

I prefer to get my messages from God by way of the Bible instead of a questionable one through Mary (?).

Fellow Christian, where did you get these categories, which I've never heard of? I prefer those categories of Paul, who says that our rejection as humans of our Creator condemns all of us (Romans 1:18--3:20), the Father's condemnation is lifted and put on Jesus on the cross by grace through his...

Okay, now I undeersatnd Oh, okay, now I understand. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

I don't think there's anything mystical or magical that happens. The Holy Spirit is involved to visibly remind us of the truth that Jesus' death was done for us believers in order to fortify and focus our faith.

Thanks for trying.

Are you drawing the conclusion that we need to keep the Sabbath on Saturday the way they did, or what? I'm waiting for your punchline.

Do you mean that we can't voice the truth that Jesus is God as one of the three Persons of the Trinity? Why? If not, I say goodbye to this forum. I can discuss everything rationally, not emotionally. If I'm not allowed to, I'll find another forum to freely discuss my faith.

I will be eternally grateful to God that my believing mother "dragged" us boys to church every Sunday in spite of the fact that we wanted to sleep in like our unbelieving father. God used his Word, teachers, and preachers to save me at the age of 16; that was 66 years ago.

I use e-sword to search the Bible, not a secular search engine, which probably looks for people's ideas more than the Bible's truths.

I was a pastor for 27 years and worked hard on Sunday, but I worshiped on that same day. I rested on Mondays. Now, I thoroughly enjoy worshiping and resting on the same day. It's our personal and communal relationship with God that's important to him, not other, more-superficial matters, like...

Brother, I can't "refute" a series of Old Testament quotes. What is your conclusion from these passages? That's the idea that I can "refute."

I could never skate well (weak ankles). tsml Why do you say that? I'm defending Jesus' greatness as one of the Persons of God.

You might be right, but the focus is always on Jesus in the gospels.

It was given to both Israel and to Christians. According to Jesus' death in Colossians 2, the outward forms of the national laws have been done away, but their inner meanings continue on. For example, the main principles of the Sabbath are worship and rest from daily labor; they continue for...

He claimed to be God and proved it by rising permanently from the dead. With such claims, he was either insane or he was indeed God. His fulfillments of many Old Testament prophecies and his abundant miracles also proved his full deity with the Father and the Holy Spirit (the Gospel of John) as...

The essential, basic doctrines that all true believers must have are God as the Creator of the whole universe, the human rebellion that plunged humans into spiritual death, the Trinity (3-in-1 nature of God), the fully-divine and fully-human Jesus, his bodily death and resurrection that are our...
