Lol Helen...you were DIRECTLY responsible for encouraging me not to leave and I am so very grateful for that! I've learned much over the last couple of years on here...even learned from some I do not agree with! I love you sister, and thank you. Sorry @Josho bit off topic :oops:

Ahaha...need your coffee :D

Wonderful post @Adoration , I too come from Catholicism but never learned a thing and same for my siblings. Yes Mary was a human being being used of God as many before and after her. I will not dishonor any saint of God. Mary is blessed among women and the word does say that so...she deserves...

Yes Farouk, that is why I said I would never pray to another.

Amen to that my friend! Most of us in the Western world are most certainly spoiled. I keep catching articles about Generation "Z" is looking forward to the baby boomers to die out. I can understand that as...the world is "if it feels good, then it is good". But, it has been held back, for...

Nice @Helen...did not see this until just now :rolleyes: Isn't it funny how such a small amount of faith can be strengthened and grown just like a muscle...if we do not use our faith to believe what God has to say, and to live it...it will just be stagnant...mine is about an orange in my own...

I do understand the prayer of petition and , I pray FOR people still living and have asked for prayer from others as well, but...those prayers that I ask for, I expect are directed directly to God in my prayer's behalf. Yes, I do understand the difference between the same words having...

Can't say that I pray TO other people as, I don't. Just because it is a "question, request or plea" to another human being, does not equal prayer of petitions to God Himself as...the curtain was rent for a reason... "for thou hast found grace with God." Yes, very much agree here. Many others...

Amen.

This is where the Hail Mary was taken from, and it is a Catholic site: "1. Hail Mary, full of Grace Luke 1:28 (Hail, full of Grace) The Angel Gabriel greets Mary with very respectful greeting used for royalty. The text doesn’t say “Mary” after Hail but it is implied. Gabriel then proclaims Mary...

Yes, wasting time on this thread. Scripture is the basis of what we believe and why otherwise it's opinion or someone parroting what they heard from these "teachers"... I hope your article goes well!

I do agree and, if it was one thing I took from Catholicism, it was the very fact that the bible tells us she is blessed among women, and should be honored as such. God found much favor with her. I just do not pray to anyone BUT God through Christ. God Bless

:D

I sure do believe every word in those 66 books but, not at all in the way that you do, so...I am going to bow out here...our stances have been made ad nauseum and, I should have just shut up and went on my way. God Bless and grow you

Hey Clint :D All I can think of right now is the wheat and the ta'res parable. Weather in a wood or mortar building, God allows both to grow together...and He will separate the two in His time. I see it as the same for the message boards. This site has given me more fellowship than my Church->...

IMHO Josho...the rich are you and I. Even the poorest in our (US) country are richer than the huge majority of the world so, yes, of course I believe the rich can be saved. God looks at how we use His blessings, are we good stewards of HIS money and resources? I do believe He will bless those...

Hi Oz...you won't get very many direct answers to your questions here, I find...you asked him a direct question to cite the scripture for his statement and he totally did not do that. Just more of what he is hearing others in his Church say and, spouting it all as God's total truth. I don't...

I've been thinking about this lately. Is their not a difference between God's wrath and Satan's persecution? God seals His saints before His full wrath comes upon this world, but should we not build our faith as much as possible in case there in not a pre-trib rapture?

Ha! Interesting, never thought of it that way..."above the sun"
