Thanks Addy. That is quit a life story. It makes me thankful for my childhood. God Bless...Mary

Lol...No, no I don't think you do. ;)

Thank you Matthew. The first thing we have to ask ourselves is how do WE, all of us, fulfill Jesus prayer: I ask not only on behalf of these, but also on behalf of those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they...

How could you, an ex-catholic who has attended ordinations, not know that? Curious Mary

Huh???? :confused::confused::confused::confused:o_Oo_Oo_Oo_O:confused::confused::confused::confused:o_Oo_Oo_O I don't understand a word you just said. Catholics don't use part of YOUR bible is the most bizarre thing you said among all of it. I'm sorry...I just can't go on with you. Mary...

Hi Ronald, Thank you for your articulation of what you believe. It was very helpful. Scripture makes it clear that it's not up to each individual Christian to decide what they THINK the bible says. It doesn't say that we are allowed to form our own interpretation of Scripture. It says...

Oh goodness....Why are you following the 500 year old teachings of men and not the 2,000 year teaching of Christianity? Matthew 1:25 demonstrates that Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary before Jesus’ birth, thus establishing the doctrine of Jesus’ virginal birth. The verse does not...

Thanks Robert, How is a rule against marriage a devils doctrine? You only have to follow the rule if you choose to and you already said to "not marry is anyone's choice". Can you see where you are contradicting yourself? You do know that men who choose to become priest know the celibacy rule...

Thank you. I am not sure why it matters that the Orthodox Church does not hold to the immaculate conception belief. Unless you are Orthodox and that's why it matters in this conversation? None the less. You are right. Eve was fallen when this was said to the serpent (not Eve). So that means...

Thank you. If you look at Genesis 3.15 it says "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed: he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel." The Jews saw this passage as referring to the struggle between Christ and Satan and the Church saw in "the...

Thanks marks. You said you wanted to understand my teaching on this. Just for clarification I don't have a teaching on this. The Church, which is the pillar and foundation of truth, has a teaching on this and I will do my best to sum that teaching up. The "how" Mary would have been conceived...

Thanks marks. @robert derrick wrote a lot of words in that post which got a bit confusing for me so I will only comment on his "conclusion": There can be no divinity of Christ to believe in, that is independent of Mary's Sacred Womb and eternally divine virginaity (sic). No Sacred Womb, no...

Hey Robert, You should learn Scripture before commenting on it. The first recorded successor to an apostle and how that person (Matthias) was chosen was in Acts 20-26. In a pastoral letter from Paul to Timothy there is a passage (2 Tim. 2:2) in which Paul refers to the first three generations...

Thanks for the question Robert. One becomes a successor of the apostles the biblical way. The first recorded successor to an apostle and how that person (Matthias) was chosen was in Acts 20-26. In a pastoral letter from Paul to Timothy there is a passage (2 Tim. 2:2) in which Paul refers to...

Thanks for the clarification Grace.

Thanks Marks for the opportunity to respond to @robert derrick The Church does teach that Mary, whose conception was brought about the normal way, was conceived without original sin or its stain. I believe that is what Robert was saying. If so, then he got it right. Mary

Hey Grace, Anytime someone commits a sin (any sin) it is not a beautiful thing and they have disregarded God's truth. Do you sin? Yes, you have. That means you have disregarded His truth also. Did you know there a people, men and women alike, who abuse children in that manner? Did you also...

Did Paul start a cult: The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord;.... I say this for your own benefit, not to put any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and unhindered devotion to the Lord. Did Matthew start a cult: there be eunuchs, which...

Hi Ronald, I think the celibacy requirements for priest is a beautiful thing. :rolleyes: For you see Scripture makes it clear that 'the unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord and how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about the affairs of the world and how to...

EXACTLY...That is why you are a church of ONE because YOU (a man) "know" the Truth of Scripture and the men of The Church, or any other denomination for that matter, that disagrees with YOU are wrong because their "dogmas" don't contain the Truth. Only yours do!
