    NO SALVATION Outside The DOCTRINE of CHRIST

    Why do you presume I am under the law rather than under grace? Why do you presume I am the "he" to which this scripture applies? Glory to God, Taken

    NO SALVATION Outside The DOCTRINE of CHRIST

    Disagree. (And BTW, you deflected AWAY from the TOPIC of Christ's Doctrine, to the TOPIC of Love). BECAUSE the Lord God LOVES US, We are Offered Salvation. We are Saved when we Believe in our Hearts and Accept the Lords Offered Salvation. Love was a COMMAND, by and through the LAW, which...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Follow a conversation between a Catholic and Non-Catholic. One speaks their beliefs, another disagrees and speaks their beliefs. One asks the other for their Scriptural verification. Regularly, Scriptural "REFERENCES" (not quotes) are given. Finding the Scriptural reference, then reading the...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Apparently, you're not equipped to discuss Mary's title of "Kecharitomene". Kecharitomene Indicates a completed action – with a permanent result. It translates as “completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace.” YOUR turn . . . Scripture "reveals" an angel came unto Mary and...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    TYPICAL CATHOLIC COMMENT... Start a conversation, with a derragatory comment, and then EXPECT a reply! TYPICAL CATHOLIC COMMENT... Change the other persons COMMENT, then EXPECT them TO DEFEND, what YOU HAVE SAID "FOR THEM". NO ONE SAID, MARY WAS "UNIMPORTANT"!! EXCEPT FOR "YOU"! WHY do...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Agree. No one was disputing or negating Mary as His mother. The dispute was about negating "Importance" of one person over another. A Catholic's Tradition is to EXALT Mary to an Extreme degree, the same as they do with other "particular" Scripturally Named persons. A Protestants View is to...

    Funny. You should review some of your Catholic Friends bringing up "OTHER" topics, that YOU give "exclusive" credit to Non-Catholics. And....even YOU have participated in "such" conversations....does that "make" YOU anti-Catholic? Lol Glory to God, Taken

    Sooooooooo, (lol), Has someone DENIED, Jesus is God? If not....that is an IRRELEVANT comment! Cannot deny? (Lol) Hogwash. No one is Subject to your stipulations. Anyone can DENY whatever "THEY" choose to "DENY", with "THEIR WORDS", (not yours). According to Jesus Himself .... Matt. 12...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    The disagreement is over the term "IMPORTANCE". It matters NOT, "WHO" ... A (believing) virgin woman, as was .....(MARY, betrothed / and afterward, wife of Joseph) A (believing) woman with demons, as was .....(MARY, of Magdala) A (believing) man without the confidance of speech, as was...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I disagree. Whether the WORD of God be ORAL for ears to hear, or WRITTEN for eyes to read... It is accounted as RIGHTEOUS for a man to "stick to" what the WORD of God SAYS, be it Oral, Written in Scripture, or Written in a mans Heart. Luke 8 [21] And he answered and said unto them, My mother...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    So your point is? An angel came unto MARY, while "MARY" was IN HER MOTHER'S WOMB, and Talked to MARY? – you will understand Luke 1:28 in the context in which it was written. Luke 1:28 [28] And the angel came in unto her, and said... Glory to God, Taken

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    I simply observed "importance" being compared. Jesus also did a comparison; Mark 3 [33] And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? [34] And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! [35] For whosoever shall do the will...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Hi Philip ~ I read Ezra's point as being ... not about, "IS" Mary Important, but rather "IS" she "MORE Important", than any other female. Scripture tells us: Mary "BELIEVED".. ...Luke 1:45 Mary was highly favored. ...Luke 1:28 Mary was blessed. ...Luke 1:45 The Lord "IS" with her. ...Luke...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Obviously you are either afraid or ignorant to explain your own belief or the basis thereof. Conceived means to BE Pregnant. Not complicated. Mary Became Pregnant (conceived) in her Virgin Womb, (with "sinless" JESUS) "When" the Power of the Holy Spirit came upon her. Isn't it true...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    You simply avoided answering the questions and repeated yourself. I have no clue "IF" you know what conceived means, but suspect you are without understanding. Try really hard to answer the questions.... It's very simple to write "yes" or "no", but if you are afraid to answer "yes" or "no"...

    I actually believe Scripture, that Hell is in the Lower part of the earth. TYPICAL Catholic tatic, to try and imply an other has made a claim with your ridiculous words. Having a hard time understanding PLAIN language? Heaven is the Firmament. The Stars are in the Firmament. Understand...
