    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Not picking on you but you brought up some interesting topics….and we should think of making a thread on it. All souls Went to Hell, Before Jesus arrived on Earth…..@Taken No, all souls went to Shoal before Christ arrived on Earth. Enoch, Elijah, Moses, Mary or any other Earthly man of Dust...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    I am not saying she does not appear to "outsiders" just the rule. There are times she appears to hundreds and there are mixed religions. The war torn areas is good example.

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    I have said before that the concept of original sin is a lie. You really need to look at the writings of Augustine, he was a nut case. You say....There is no Biblical evidence that Mary was born different to anyone else. That is true there is very little about Mary in the Bible and anyone that...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Again I am going to say their belief system saves. The issue is when they climb the fence and start commenting on things that by their own belief system, they are not suppose to believe in. Effectively they could say that anything that happens after the biblical era and then Martin Luther was...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    That is the point of post 46. The Bible is not going to talk about her divinity....it does not record her death either. Staying inside the scriptures, there is really not much to discuss about Mary. There are thousands of divine events that happened after the biblical era. But that is not...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    I am surprised that Protestants key on this, Augustine, was the author of the doctrine of original sin. He was a Catholic theologian, philosopher, and the bishop of Hippo Regius in Numidia, Roman North Africa. The man was near to insane. Babies are not born with sin.

    Ya, don't believe in original sin...it is a lie.

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    The Bible has a description of how Christ will return. That could be a problem. Around 700 BC the prophets were taking about a human messiah...a human warlord king messiah. 700 years later they got a peace loving God messiah, it was so different that they did not accept him and instigated His...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Read post 46 I have already covered all this. I do not have a problem with you or your beliefs. So I don't dismiss you. I call it Fundamentalism, is it a loose term at best. You think I do not pay attention to you. Then again if I have missed something, tell something you believe that is not...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Who said I dismissed you. Your religion is valid. I have already explained that. Stay in the fence! If you venture out to the great unknown....lol....and condemn something that might get you in trouble....when there is nothing wrong with staying in the fence and being saved.

    I think I have already covered this. Nothing wrong with that belief.

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    You are betting a lot on the premise that you are right. Considering the fact that your religion is only based on the first 65 years of Christian history. A lot to learn....you do not want to damn yourself when you are just starting out. In the end you will get to tell Christ Himself that His...

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    Sticking with the Fundamentalist approach...if it is not in the Bible it is not true....find in the scriptures where she died.

    Apparitions of the Virgin Mary

    The Fundamentalists are not wrong with what they do. They pretty much take the first 65 years documented in the Bible and after around 1500 years these groups went back to the fundamentals. Why? Some know why? I am multi-denominational so I can defend both sides. And I say both sides are valid...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    Well the answer to show your error is a very long and detailed answer. Yes the Apostles did think that Jesus would come back fairly soon and establish the Kingdom promised to Israel! the rapture is imminent, but the physical retrurn of Jesus to earth has many detailed SCriptures to show what...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    I disagree. The apostles were certain that they were living in the last days. The mind set that this is all about the prophesied end of time and Christ return, causes Christian to hunker down. Thinking there is nothing that they can do about it. There is a lot we can do and should do. Oppose...

    I'm a Christian and I support the legality of same-sex marriage

    You wonder what people are thinking, but the reality of it is, maybe not. The nice elderly lady in church that is going to vote for the politician that support murdering over 600,000 babies a year....she see no wrong with that. The nice church going father that would vote for a politician that...
