-- lol Enhance your calm Summa. It is none of your business how I answer Aspen - especially when you ask that way - but I will answer. Aspen is playing "gotcha," and not looking for real answers. He already knows the answer to this. The Bible isn't designed just to "get someone saved" and...

- Was a Catholic for three-plus decades. Baptized, Confirmed, Altar Boy, Reader, choir member, Bible study leader, Music Ministry for "Search" retreat weekends, member of the church board. Still on the board of two Catholic charities. I am working with one of them to help join the lawsuit...

See post #225 - Mungo -- I already read it. Brag up Mary, talk to Mary, mention Jesus to Mary, cry out to Mary, ask for intercession from Mary So using the Catholic standard, that prayer is OBVIOUSLY all about Jesus. :D "Hail Holy Queen, mother of mercy [Jesus]; our life [Jesus], out...

It stands for a commitment to follow Jesus, like Mary, the perfect model of all the disciples of Christ. This commitment finds its origin in baptism by which we become children of God. It leads us into the community of Carmel, a community of religious men and women, which has existed in the...

-- Exactly. The top 1% of Americans earn 16.9% of all income yet pay 36.7% of all taxes (taxfoundation.org) Yet the Liberals still feel they aren't paying their "fair share." Mr. Obama misused Luke to pedal "To whom much is given, much is expected" to justify increasing taxes on the rich.

This seems like a rather silly thing to do by a party that is trying to rebuild its relationship with Israel and the Jewish vote.

You wrote : "And as far as Luke 1:48, Mary saying "From now on all generations will call me blessed" is NOT the same as "From now on all generations will bless me and pray to me." We do not pray to Mary [ how many times must you hear this before it sinks in ?] -- "Hail Mary, full of grace, the...

lol Neo, I know what each line of the Hail Mary is to indicate, and I understand the implications you imply in Luke. But there is a big difference between calling someone "blessed" and praising them in prayer. And as far as Luke 1:48, Mary saying "From now on all generations will call me...

I understand you meant that as a snide comment, but there is much more truth to that statement than you seem to realize. Abortion is a good example. The left supports abortion up through and including delivering the baby three-quarters of the way out of the body before killing it (otherwise...

-- God's specific intervention is the only reason that even those strong in Christ will not be misled.

-- He also brought us successfully out of the Carter debacle, helped create several years of prosperity within American, and was instrumental in bringing about the collapse of the Soviety Union and the end of the Cold War. This AFTER almost dying of a gunshot wound to the heart by an assassin...

That's right, Foreigner - stick to your original statement, no matter what evidence is presented. I am sure the more you repeat it, the more it will magically come true - right? Talk about 'vain repetition' - LOL -- Since no evidence was presented, why NOT stick with the original statement...

Yes, the Catholic church did say Mary ascended into heaven....without witnesses, or a shred of evidence. As far as books already being written, if you look at the dates when the Gospels were written, in some cases it was decades after Christ died and almost certainly well after Mary died. He...

No, no, no, I get it. It makes perfect sense. The very best way "to focus on the Birth, Ministry, Death and Resurrection of Jesus" in a "very pleasing and meaningful way" ....is to repeatedly pray to and praise Mary. Focus your thoughts and words on her, not Him.

I will grant you one thing, Aspen....when you shovel you do use both hands. We are talking about the Scapular, you appear not to like like how the conversation is going, so you - out of the blue - make this unrelated comment: "How many threads have I started about Protestants not being...

On the flip side, people also get offended out of ignorance: Williams Aide Resigns in Language Dispute By Yolanda Woodlee Washington Post Staff Writer Wednesday, January 27, 1999; The director of D.C. Mayor Anthony A. Williams's constituent services office resigned after being accused of...

So, just to be sure I have it right: Catholics say the Hail Mary 53 times in a standard 5-decade Rosary (compared to the Lord's prayer which is said only six times)....because the Rosary is "centered on Christ." And the best way to focus on "the Birth, Ministry, Death and Resurrection of...

Foreigner said, -- You would know. You admit you used to be a Protestant and you don't have to go very far on this board to find an example of you ridiculing them or pretending your are more enlightened. Really? How many threads have I started about Protestants not being Christians? - ASPEN...

Foreigner said: -- So the Bible is simply "man made doctrine" Uh huh.... So you are saying that you only believe in private interpretation of scripture? Dangerous ground......-- Aspen Never even implied that. Such a dishonest implication on your part. Obviously comes from your weak...

-- You would know. You admit you used to be a Protestant and you don't have to go very far on this board to find an example of you ridiculing them or pretending your are more enlightened. -- You do realize that those you are calling "uneducated members," include: Pope John XXII Pope Pius XI...
