Yea... Pretty much how I feel too.

Is all this really necessary? What we now call the OT was available back then. Should we really make a big deal about what is was called? Ok. Look, in 2 Cor 3:14 Paul refers to the Torah as "the old testament". I don't know if James wrote before 2 Cor... But its in the ballpark. 2...

I agree with you Mary... That verse is talking about leaving everything. He didn't abandon all family (there was still his brother and he was married). He later went back to fishing so he still had the means. But yes. Temporaily he gave his former life.

Ok

The interesting thing is that Peter went back to fishing briefly after Jesus died. (John 21:3). So appearently his old business wasn't hard to go back to. John 6:67-68 KJV Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go...

The Bible says Joseph didn't know (have sexual relations) until after Jesus was born. Somehow people claim she never did, but it is a cleat inference that she did. Its by a lot of mental gymnastics and inference they get around this verse and the verses where Jesus's half brothers are named...

I may check on that later.... I have my degree in exercise physiology so I should know that. But its been 30 years since I took such classes. I was prepared to go about it at a different route. The human blood is totally regenerated every 16 weeks. I may be wrong about that number... But the...

No one. I actually believed the Catholic Church taught that for years before I figured out through research that it wasn't the case. I sensed that is where things were going in this conversation. Appearently I wasn't the only one.

I don't discus people I discuss doctrine. This discussion shouldn't be about Catholics, non catholics, me or you. Its about doctrine! WHAt have I made up? Tell me! I will recant if I am wrong. I did it just a few minutes ago. And I am not hostile to truth. If YOU can't prove it to be...

Glad I am not the only one! In any sense... The Catholic Church doesn't teach that Mary's mom was a virgin when she gave birth to Mary.

Pardon me, but while I am hostile to false doctrine, I am not hostile to individuals or to denominations. Furthermore I don't have prejudice. I so not prejudge; I study and gather information and then make a judgment. When new information is made available to me I adjust accordingly. I...

My apologies. I left out a two letter word: "of". The Catholic Church does teach she was born sinless and free from original sin. I said that it doesn't teach "she was born a virgin herself." Of course she was. We all are born virgins. What I meant to say is that the Catholic Church...

That doesn't answer the full question. If we are all co-redeemers how come I don't hear about Paul the co-redeemer or Stephan the co-redeemer? Why aren't we addressing ourselves as co-redeemer? Why are we discussing Mary as the co-redeemer? I believe the reason is because it's an attempt to...

I am not even going to pretend to know what you mean by that. Perhaps you can explain it to me. But by the way, I am sorry I derailed your thread. I look to getting back to it. On the subject, I agree with amadeus. Children know nothing but what is taught to them. The ones that came to...

Huh?

Jesus said do unto others as you would have them do unto you. ... Not as they have done unto you.

So why do you do it? If tou are tired of it then stop doing it yourself.

What was my interpretation? I asked why give all this to Mary and talk about Mary having it when we all do? Did I ever say that? Who has ever said that?

....sigh... I get so tired of Christians insulting other Christians. Why?

I am a fair man... I have heard the rumor that aome believe Mary was also immaculately conceived. But I Dont see that being taught by the nonprotestant church. I have seen them teach that Mary was born totally sinless, never sinned and was even born without the stai of original sin. That of...
