    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    If Mary is the mother of Jesus and Jesus is King, then Mary is the Queen mother. She holds the same place in Jesus' kingdom that Bathsheba held in Soloman's. Peace!

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    So then, if Jesus is God, then Mary is the mother of God. Likewise if Jesus is King, then Mary is the Queen mother... 1kings 2:19 gives a snapshot of the place of the Queen mother in the Davidic kingdom: Then Bathsheba went to King Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and the king stood up...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Hello Taken, Frankly, it is impossible for us to exalt Mary more than God already has in choosing her to be His mother. Everything Mary is flows from who Jesus is: She is the Queen mother, because He is the King. She is the mother of God because Jesus is God. To compare her to a harlot...

    Fundamentalism; belief in scripture, becoming illegal

    Hello Helen, Indeed. The devil will have his hour, when God chooses, and not before.. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. But the one who restrains is to do so only for the present, until he is removed from the scene. But we need not fear, the victory has already been won...

    The Church in the Wilderness

    Indeed it takes faith. Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me." And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed...

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    The eternal feast will always be, of course. In fulfilling Malachi 1:11 we participate in that eternal feast in union with all our brethren that have come before us, and those who will come after us, in union with all the hosts of heaven, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, Through Jesus Christ...

    The Church in the Wilderness

    And yet, we must believe HIS words. To whom else can we go? Jesus then said to the Twelve, "Do you also want to leave?" Simon Peter answered him, "Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God."...

    The Church in the Wilderness

    Indeed we do. And have! And so we offer the pure sacrifice of Malachi 1:11 in union with our brothers and sisters throughout the generations. The wedding feast is now! Yikes. To the foot of the cross we must go, that we may rise with Him to new life. The one who sat on the throne said...

    Founding Fathers = Christians or...?

    Founding Fathers = Christians or...?

    For see, I am raising up Chaldea, that bitter and unruly people, That marches the breadth of the land to take dwellings not his own. Terrible and dreadful is he, from himself derive his law and his majesty.

    Is water baptism necessary for salvation?

    Hello nondenom, This is mistaken. Catholics believe that you cannot separate Jesus from His church. The two are forever united as one. So then, to be united with Christ is to be united with His Church. It is through baptism into Christ that one becomes a member of this community. It is in...
