Right on, neophyte. The Fatima Family Apostolate is founded by a suspended priest, Fr. Gruner. Although some of the things contained in those web sites bear truth, the apostolate itself is designed to trick uneducated Catholics into thinking it is an authentic representative of the Church, when...

Yes. But when did this "having been graced" begin?? The minute before the angel showed up? Two minutes? A year? At her birth? Or at her conception? Which one is the most reasonable answer given that her title is coming from an angel??? Would you argue that the grace of Christ flowing from...

This time, I agree with you. And these liars are all over the Internet as well. Axehead is a sheep attracted to these snakes, regurgitating their venom thinking he is doing God a favor. http://www.phatmass.com/directory/index.php/cat/30...

Your accusation that "the church never makes mistakes" is based on typical funnymentalist ignorance, confusing infallibility with impeccability. I'm not going to bother counting the phoney quotes, lies, and twisted histories you pasted from A LIST OF FORGERIES. Your quote from Exsurge Domine...

Thank you for the clarification, Nomad. Ephesians 1:6 does not use the Greek perfect passive participle "kecharitomene" in Luke 1:28. I was expecting the Stephen argument where it is mentioned that he was "full of grace", but kecharitomene is not used there either. Catholics believe that Luke...

A converted satanist is extremely rare. The charge that I am appealing to authorities shortcomings is just a sadistic brainless insult. You disappoint me Pug. Satanism exists and ex-satanists (who convert to Catholicism, a fact you don't like) have something of interest to say about the...

Acts 17:11-12 - here we see the verse "they searched the Scriptures." This refers to the Bereans who used the Old Testament to confirm the oral teachings about the Messiah. The verses do not say the Bereans searched the Scriptures alone . Moreover, the Bereans accepted the oral teaching from...

Most questions I get are sadistic insults, not questions at all. Perhaps you are beginning to think for yourself instead of regurgitation the usual anti-Catholic vitriol. I'm taking this as an honest question. Mary's sufferings were subordinate to Christ's crucifixion. The same as when you...

It is true that Baptism of the Holy Spirit grants individuals with varying degrees of grace, but it puzzles me why you would balk at the biblical reference to one who is both entitled with and described as FULL OF GRACE to the point where the fulness goes in both directions of time. I have met...

The difference between truth and un-truths is that truth provides food for the soul, untruths are like popcorn with no butter or salt. As the new ‘daughter of Zion’, Mary represents all humanity, called to the marriage banquet which celebrates God’s Covenant with his people, 1. At the time of...

Jesus taught in parables and metaphors, but to say He did that ALL the time is quite a stretch. He spoke literally on the Law Matthew 5:17-20, He spoke literally on anger Matthew 21:24 literally on adultery Matthew 5:27-29 oaths, retaliation, love of enemies, fasting, faith, He literally...

Love for the truth was a favorite theme of Pope John Paul II. “Let us seek the truth about Christ and about his Church!...Let us love the Truth, proclaim the Truth! O Christ, show us the Truth! Be the only Truth for us!” – Agenda for the Third Millennium Pope John Paul II The Holy Father’s...

I'm not. These are true prophesies that every Christians should read. It is full of hope.

The point is you cannot have mixed metaphors in any one of Jesus' teachings. It doesn't make sense. Nobody asked Jesus if He was a literal vine, and nobody asked Jesus if he was a literal door. His use of metaphors was obvious and that is why no one questioned him. But they did question Him in...

[/size] Hi Nomad, Nobody is abandoning anything. The woman’s offspring is primarily Jesus Christ, no matter what one's favorite translational flavor might be. I think you will agree that no amount of contextual variant hair splitting is going to change that. There is no exegetical or...

Some doubted. Matthew 28:17 That's all that scripture says on the matter. Doubt is not apostasy. He didn't leave us, He promised to be with us until the end of the age. Apostasy is the total repudiation of the Christian faith; technically you have to be a Christian before you can be an...

I'll order a mixed metaphor. Cheers.

You partially agree. Vet is using prophecy in the sense of foretold events in the bible, while terry is using it in the sense of prophetic utterance that must align with scripture. What biblical prophecies mean has been a raging dispute in this thread and always will be until Jesus heals the...

[/color] What makes you think I am trying to convert anybody? It doesn't work that way in Catholicism. You come in on your own steam or you don't come. Besides, trying to convert anyone would be promoting, which is against the rules. Explaining and defending is not promoting. In my opinion...

I have a Bible question for you, Br. James. Gen. 3:15 and Rev. 12:17 are the only verses in the Bible where you find a serpent (snake, dragon) and a *woman* in the same verse. In my opinion, these two verses are bridged by Luke 2:35. You know your Bible...do you have any over-the-top rhetoric...
