    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    I'm not dodging anything. You think - without having any proof - that the OT/NT passages have to be a type/antitype regarding the Ark of the Covenant and Mary, and I don't see any reason to think that that they have to be. BTW, you're dodging my question to you about the epistles not...

    Does God send people to hell forever?

    So who is casting them into the lake of fire mentioned in Revelation 20:15?

    Does God send people to hell forever?

    Sorry, I misread your comment. I thought you were saying that the person made the choice to go to hell over the choice of accepting the supreme being. BTW, you wrote that you "don't believe God 'sends' anybody to hell". Maybe not hell, but Revelation 20:15 does say that He will be casting...

    Does God send people to hell forever?

    Maybe, maybe not. The verse only says that the contempt [for them] will be everlasting, not that the shame will be. They could feel ashamed up until the time they are cast into the lake of fire. BTW, just as an aside, the verse says many of those who sleep shall awake. That seems to imply...

    Does God send people to hell forever?

    When presented with the options of choice, any thoughts on what they think the consequences will be for the choice that they make?

    Does God send people to hell forever?

    Other than the devil and possibly the beast and false prophet - depending on which translation is being used - do you have any scripture which specifically says that folks are going to be tormented 24/7 for eternity?

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Nor have you shown any proof that your theory of type/antitype has to be the case here. So again, other than Galatians 4:4 saying that the Messiah was born of a woman, why do you suppose Mary is not mentioned by any of the writers in the New Testament epistles including the one to Rome and the...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Post #701 was written by Taken. I don't see where you made any scriptural case in it.

    Luke 1:43

    I didn't know I said that it was.

    Luke 1:43

    Around the globe, there are probably at least a few hundred prayers being directed to Mary at any given moment. How do you suppose she is able to handle them all at once in order to advocate for each one of them? And of course they just keep coming non-stop 24/7.

    Luke 1:43

    Actually, they've deleted it and moved the others up one notch and split the 10th into two in order to keep the number at 10.

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Only one as far as scripture is concerned. Why do you ask?

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    The Messiah never once claimed Mary as His mother. He did say, however, that she was the mother of one of His disciples.

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    "If Mary automatically inherits the title 'Ark of the Covenant' for the reason that she once bore the Messiah, then would it not logically follow that all Christians can rightly be given the same title, since our bodies are also God's dwelling place (1 Corinthians 3:16-17; 6:19-20)?"

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    What does the Bible tell us about Mary when the Messiah was involved? As far as scripture is concerned, there are only 3 times mentioned where the Messiah spoke to Mary. And He seemed to be a bit perturbed with her 2 of those times. The 3rd time He merely told her to look at her son. He never...

    theefaith, re: "Mary is the advocate of Christians...Christ honors his mother, and never refuses her prayers..." Around the globe, there are probably at least a few hundred prayers being directed to Mary at any given moment. How do you suppose she is able to handle them all at once in order...

    The 'blessed virgin Mary'

    Other than Galatians 4:4 saying that the Messiah was born of a woman, any thoughts on why Mary is not mentioned by any of the writers in the New Testament epistles including the one to Rome and the 2 by Peter? Why do you suppose that they were not inspired by the Holy Spirit to include any of...
