… are crystal clear. You are “persona non grata” to me and I will not waste time reading your posts or responding to your points. Enjoy your alternate reality without me.

My “ignorance” of all things Catholic stems from the Catechism for Inquirers (the publication and the class) and that portion of your PONDEROUS Catechism that I have read. The “contradiction” exists if one accepts the words on the page at face value without placing equal value on the Traditions...

I will be called to give account for my willful rejection of the RCC veneration of Mary (the reason that I could not, as a matter of conscience, join the Catholic Church when I converted from Atheism) which my conscience could not allow me to affirm when what I read in the Bible seemed to...

Alexandria … Home of Hellenistic Judaism and birthplace of the Septuagint, Gnosticism and most of the early Church heresies. Yes, let us embrace all they loved and taught as we reject the teachings of Paul.

Therein lies the problem … the RCC claims to still be receiving “smoke signals, sign language, radio waves, TV transmissions, Internet messages and personal meetings” from the Apostles that tell them crazy things like Mary was assumed into Heaven, the Pope is Christ on Earth, Mary is Queen of...

I bow before the master of eisegesis. You can make anything say whatever you want. 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less. ' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many...

You chose Acts 1:20 which begins: “For it is written in the book of Psalms:” Your Greek did not help you with basic reading comprehension … the Apostles were quoting from Psalms.

Psalms were written in Hebrew (didn’t they teach you that in 1st Year?). You should go back to the original to understand a quote. But thank you for sharing your “little secret”.

Feel free to WANT whatever you desire. We will both stand before Christ and then we will see if Mary will intercede for you or if the Bible was correct.

You should be embarrassed to perpetuate the office of Judas in the Church (as you hold him up as your example).

And according to you Mary is the only appropriate “god” to pray to.

Calling "worship" by the term "venerate" does not change the reality ... you offer to Mary what belongs only to God (that is idolatry).

Matthew 23:35 Luke 11:51 (holds the key)

It has already been shown that Paul in the First Century wrote to Timothy explaining that Scripture is adequate. Both your timeline and your facts are off. The 16th Century was just a European return to Biblical Truth and a rejection of Roman apostasy (triggered by people finally able to read...

Non sequitur. You were claiming to have oral wisdom from Saint Paul heard in Thessalonica, but you refuse to share this oral wisdom. Paul said none of what you wrote above (which contradicts HIS writings).

Why do you bother to reference scriptures that do not say what you claim they say? Acts of the Apostles 1:20 “For it is written in the book of Psalms: ‘MAY HIS RESIDENCE BE MADE DESOLATE, AND MAY THERE BE NONE LIVING IN IT’; and, ‘MAY ANOTHER TAKE HIS OFFICE.’ Notice that that verse DOES NOT...

He prayed to God ... just like Jesus taught. :)

I ask for a statement from an Apostle, and you respond with the adulteress Bathsheba and the whore-monger Solomon as an example of why we should all be praying to Mary rather than God ... how apropos. :eek:

Shall we pray to Abram, Patriarch of our salvation? I think I will follow the example of the Apostles and "follow Jesus" and the advice of Mary: "Whatever He (Jesus) says, do it."

Is the canon of scripture closed? Why?
