No - Kecharitomene means far more than that . . . "It denotes one who has been and still is the object of divine benevolence, one who has been favored and continues to be favored by God, one who has been granted supernatural grace and remains in this state.[1] Verbs ending in ŏō, such as...

I’ve found that almost every person who leaves the Catholic Church leaves because of an abject ignorance of the teachings of the Catholic Church. Too many people believe in a lot pf erroneous, pre-conceived ideas about the Church that are based in falsehoods and fairy tales. Because you still...

So will I. It is His Word that says she is Kecharitomene (Luke 1:28) . . .

Wrong. Kecharitoomene is a Greek word. By comparison, the word used to describe Noah in Gen. 6:8 is charin (grace). In Hebrew it’s chen, which simply means favor or grace. By comparison, the word used in Ephesians 1:6 and applied to the saints is “charis”. Kecharitomene is not a mere...

WRONG. The Greek word used in Luke’s Gospel is “Kecharitomene” (Luke 1:28). It is the perfect passive participle, indicating a completed action with a permanent result. It translates, “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace.” By comparison, the word used in Ephesians 1:6 and...

First of all - who is "They"?? Scondly - Mary didn't go around proclaiming herself sinless. She has been proclaimed sinless by the Church based on Scripture (Luke 1:28) and Sacred Tradition. She would have done EVERYTHING that was required of a Jew in the first century - and that inclused...

Why do you keep repeating yourself? I already acknowledged that Mary did all of these things – according to the Law. Just as Jesus observed all of the festivals, holy days and rituals according to the Law that pointed to HIM – even though He is not bound by the Law, created for mere men. God...

The answeris rtght there in YOUR post: "According to the Law." Mary was a faithful Jew and did what was required of EVEEY person. Circumcision was how one entered into the Covenant woth God (Gen. 17:10). Why was Jesus circumcised? Answer: Because it was required by the Law.

The Bible does tell us that Mary had a Savior just like the rest of us (Luke 1:47). However, the difference is that saving grace was applied to her when she was conceived. Unlike the rest of us, it was completed in her. We’re still being worked on (1 Cor. 1:8, 2 Cor. 2:15, 7:1, Phil. 2:12, Heb...

Jesus is God, the Son. Mary is His Mother. Hence, she is the Mother of God. Nope. There iss ZERO Biblical evidence that Mary gave birth to ANY other children than Jesus, or that she had "other" children.

Here, you have 2 different authors, centuries apart, writing almost the EXACT same thing about 2 different entities – type and fulfilment: OT - The Ark carrying the Word of God is brought to the house of Obed-Edom in the hill country of Judea for 3 months, where it was a blessing. (2 Sam. 6:11)...

Not sure what this has to do with Matt. 23:8-10 - but I'll address your point about Mary and the Ark. The WORD of God was carried inside the Ark. Jesus is the WORD of God (John 1:1). OT - The Tabernacle that housed the Ark was overshadowed by the cloud of glory of the Lord (Shekinah glory)...

HUH?? I already responded to this . . . Shoow me the verse in Scriptuyre that says that members of the Body of Chrst cannot pray for each other when they are in Heaven, Rev. 8:5 shows the Elders in Heaven interceding on our behalf. Re. 8:5 shows the Angels doing the SAME thig . .

Soooo, javing a painting of ANYBODY ptior to the invrntion of tha camera is a SIN?? CaYOU show me the verse in Scripture that makes this claim?? WRONG. To pray simply means to "ASK". Definition of the word “PRAY”: Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb...

But you DO have picture, photos, etc. What's the difference? How is having a painting of St. Peter or Mary any different than pictures of your kids, parents, Aunt Winne, etc??

I have a few. How many pictures do YOU have in your wallet or hanging on your walls at home??

I caught you with your proverbial foot in your mouth. Be careful about violating God's commandment against bearing FALSE witness (Exod. 20:16) . . .

The only thing I'n holding is a cup of coffe. Do you make it a habit of bearing false witness??

The Catholic Church worships false gods?? Please show me where tis is taught in the Catechism or anywhere else.

I wasn’t arguing from Scripture. The conversation was about Oral Tradition. We were discussing the Protoevangelium of James as one of the earlies written records. I said that it was NOT normal. And I never mentioned anything about a “formal institution of Temple virgins”.
