The "Hail Mary" is based on Scripture: 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 full of Grace (full of God’s own...

Yes, we are members of His body, The Church, and He is the head of the members of The Church. The Church is the pillar and foundation of the truth. If your theory were correct then all the members of The Church will be the pillars and foundation of truth. Since each member holds their own truth...

you said my definition of the church is flawed. So I asked you: What is MY definition of The Church? Or what do you believe is MY definition!

Yes, I am referring to The Catholic Church which has it's seat in Rome. The Church does not teach us to pray to anyone but God and Christ. There are no instructions in Scripture that define what a church official is to wear or how a building that people gather in to worship God is to be...

Show me in Scripture where it says The Church is the sum total of all believers in their various stages of knowledge and growth and I will join you!

Lol....Ok Ferris. What is my definition of The Church?

Not playing games Jim B. I asked you a very direct question and you didn't give a very direct answer. Instead you are playing a word game with me. I am trying to figure out your cryptic answer. Apparently I did not do a very good job at it. Sooooooooo You believe that Luther returned people to...

The Church is infallible...just like Scripture says. I have found that Church. Have you?

I agree. There are many denominations that teach lies. But The Church can't.

Why do you disagree with Paul? o_O The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body...

Ok....so one has to be truly saved before they can KNOW the Truth? Is that what you are saying?

I am speaking of The Church. The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of truth and of whom we are to obey, can not teach anything other than the Truth. God will not allow it because the gates of hell will not prevail against it. I think you are speaking of the thousands of Protestant...

Well, the first word in your response was "Yes"! So I see fit to believe that you do agree with Luther's teaching on the Eucharist, Baptism and Mary. With that said....you are almost Catholic!

I apologize for not understanding what you are saying. If your theory was true, that "each believer has within himself the anointing from God to know if what he hears (what he is taught) is the truth or not", then why do so many denominations or individual Christians believe they are teaching...

Let's try this again Jim B: Do you agree with Luther's teachings on the Eucharist, Baptism and the teachings of Mary being ever virgin?

Nope, Scripture does not say that The Church is "the body of true believing people". The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. Not all believers have the truth. The Church is who we are to go to so that we can settle our differences and if a person does not obey The Church they are to be...

Well Ferris, as Scripture says, The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth. Which Church is that if not the Catholic Church?

We agree: water, with or without faith, has no saving power whatsoever to transform a person into a child of God. It takes MANY things to become a child of God (saved): faith, get baptized, works, repent, confess with our mouths and not sin willfully after we have been given the Truth (deny the...

Martin Luther returned His people to the truth of the Bible? So you agree with Luther's teachings on the Eucharist, Baptism and the teachings of Mary being ever virgin?

Thanks for your opinion....
