Is there anything there that any Christian couldn't claim for himself or herself? Or is this something that Mary had excusively or "more of"? I have heard the arguement that we are all co-redeemers. I don't believe it necessarily, but if its true why are we discussing it with Mary? Is she...

It is interesting to note that the sons said, "We ajure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth." also the Bible calls them vagabonds (homeless travellers and exorcists, and Sceva was a high priest. So it paints a picture. They were sons of a priest, they had no root other than that. They...

My phone cannot handle the data to hear the video clups, but I will look into it when I have better access. As a side note, the U.S. national anthem is by Francis Scott Key and is abbreviated in its most memerable form. It was just a poem telling of a stance against England at Baltimore (my...

I can offer a bit of historical viewpoints which won't answer the queation, but may give a little light for understanding. I have read 4 or 5 books dealing with Christianity in the first 2 centuries in the Roman Empire. They were library books, so its going to be hard for me to give reference...

2 Peter 3 says to grow in grace. Eph 4 says we are given grave accord to the measure of the gift of Christ. Whether these verses are measures of grace (meaning we all get different amounts of grave) I am not going to debate right now. But I will bring up two more verses that talk about "how...

Not telling you a 3rd or 4th time is a cop out? Really? BOL, if you don't understand what I'm saying thats ok. I can work with that. But ignoring it is amother matter. Really? Are you serious? Ok. You really want to go through this? Please explain your position. Are you saying they...

I explained already. If you need a summary or a clearer explanation I will obligue. But if you ignored it the first time... Why should I bother? If they are in the flesh they are sinners. Thats what the Bible says. Besides, Mary didn't stay a baby. If they are in the flesh they are...

I suspect most Jews believed Joseph was the father. Even Mary slipped up once and called Joseph the Father. Jesus quickly corrected her. Aa to Mary's age, and Joseph's (because let's face it.... That's where this is going... I am just exediating it)... Its not important. Elizabeth's...

I am not one to celebrate Christmas, but this is deeper than that. I support everyone's right to celebrate Christmas, in case that needs to be said. But the purpose here was not to attack Christmas, but Christians in general.

Well said. I agree with everything you said and like the way you said it. To Mary's credit she did stick with the plan and overall (despite a few faults...) she was a great woman. Its really a shame that anyone has to debate her merits... But reasonable people are forced to when others raise...

Just curious... Are you saying Mary was wisdom?

BOL This is yet another case where you refuse to acknowledge what I wrote and I am not going to repeat it. As for Mary sinning, well sure I believe she sinned. But the focus this time around is that I don't believe she was spiritually dead either until the day of Pentacost. I can prove that...

First of all, I didn't dodge Herod being upset... I fully discussed it. I put it in proper perspective. Second, Romans 3 means what it says. You are trying to find a case study to support your viewpoints but you haven't. Case studies don't always fit all cases. Third... What are my...

Just curious... Are you saying Mary was wisdom?

Well I agree Harod was a very unreasonable man... But I don't think he would be so unreasonable to get upset after giving the edict. I mean, even for an unreasonable man that's weird. Well there may have been one scallywag who didn't care... But after Harod got upset and did what he did... Id...

I would think so... Did you not read what happened to all there children 2 years old and younger? I certainly don't have all the answers to this, but we should look at the facts. The wise men didn't find Jesus on the night he was born. In fact, the text suggests they came when he was around 2...

Sounds like predestination to me. Maybe John Cavin was right!

I am afraid I don't understand this. I have never heard that Mary was stabbed in the heart by a sword.

Well interesting. And i agree. But pardo was adressing me. So, what are you saying about me?

My thoughts are that there isn't anything wrong with it. I like to draw mostly with pencil. Im not that good (i think). But most of what I do is with Christ in mind. If someone draws a pic or painting of Jesus, I habe mixed emotions since we don't really know what he looked like. Maybe...
