How about, instead of dodging the issue - YOU try to defend your moronic claims from post #832 that Kecharitomene simply means "Highly favoured" and is NO different from Sarah or Elizabeth being favoured?? I've presented a MOUNTAIN of scholarly linguistic evidence regarding "Kecharitomene" and...

And that is another LIE. I couldn't care less if anybody opposes me. I only expose LIES - not the fact that somebody disagrees with me. If I accused "everybody" of lying who simply disagreed with me - as YOU have dishonestly accused me - my marriage would have been over YEARS ago. Enough with...

Better yet - why don't YOU show me the official Catholic teaching on praying TO statues and paintings. I'll even give you the website so you don't need to Google it: Catechism of the Catholic Church Happy hunting . . . As for your statement that Mary or ANY other saint in Heaven can't see...

I couldn't agree with you more - and neither could the Catholic Church.

Ummmmm, the argument is about Mary's Biblical title of "Kecharitomene" and its linguistic implications - NOT about the sufficiency of Scripture. And IF the Word of God WAS sufficient for you - then you wouldn't be arguing about this Scriptural word in Luke 1:28 . . .

WRONG. YOU accused me of saying that certain verses of Scripture were "contradictory" - which I never said. That is the very definition of a LIE . . .

In other words - you have NO intelligent response for the fact that I obliterated your post regarding Mary's Biblical title of "Kecharitomene" and its linguistic implications. That's what I thought . . .

Wel,, now you're LYING again. And YOU said you "never" sin . . . I never said that those verses were contradictory. I said that they were SEEMINGLY-contradictory, until you read them ALL in context with one another. Get your story straight.

I don't know ANYBODY who prays TO a painting or a statue. An honest person knows that those are simply reminders - but nobody ever accused yOU of being honest . . . As to your pathesic lack of faith in God and HIS power - I'm not surprised. Neither Mary nor anybody else in Heaven can hear a...

And there you go LYING again - which makes MY job ALL the easier . . . First of all - Catholic's don't "worship" anybody other than GOD. To do so is idolatry. Secondly - Catholics don't believe that Mary can resolve - or "absovle" there sins. Finally - YOUR claim that we are not to pray to...

No it's not because there are NO semingly-contradictory verses. In other words - there are SEVERAL verse of Scripture that show different views on salvation and sanctification which appear to be contradictory - until you read them ALL in their proper context. NO such about Mary's title of...

No - the idea that "Pray" ALWAYS means "worchip" is a Proestant tradition. The linguistic fact is that it simply means "to ASK". You can deny that ALL day long - and you'll still be wrong . . . Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary: Full Definition of pray transitive verb 1: entreat, implore...

In your usual long-winded, psychotic-rant syle - you have said NOTHING that akes ay sense. And rejecting the Greek text gets you nowhere . . . The fact is that there is NO good single-word translation for the Greek, "Kecharitomene". According to the scholars at Biblical Hermeneutics Stack...

Than YOU don't understand plain English. The definition of "PRAY" simply means to ASK. As a matter of fact, as it pertains to "worship" - that is a SECONDARY definition. The word "Pray" is legal, juridical language and is used in court documents and police reports. Merriam-Webster’s...

It it "idolatry" when you pray to your fellow Christians here on earth to pray for you?

Cherry-picking won't help your argument. I gave you no less that SIX Scripture passages that explain that we are BEING sanctified by God - we are BEING made holy. Our entire life is a journey of sanctification. Scripture does NOT contradict itself, so you must take ALL Scripture in CONTEXT...

WRONG. "It is permissible, on Greek grammatical and linguistic grounds, to paraphrase kecharitomene as 'completely, perfectly, enduringly endowed with grace'." (Blass and DeBrunner, Greek Grammar of the New Testament) There is no question of a "secondary" reality, one that would have touched...

And once again - Christ's Church is NOT defined by the sins of those individuals within - but by the fact that it is the Body of Christ and Christ Himself is the Head (Col. 1:18). TheChurch is MORE than a Pope or some Bishops. If the Pope ran the Mafia - that wouldn't diminish Christ's Church...

This verse doesn't say anything about Kecheritomene - NOR does it even imply that this condition applies to ALL Christians. READ posts #766 & #782 where I explained WHY . . .

This is the most asinine and stupid claim you've made so far. Wikipedia proves itself?? What an idiotic statement. Unless you can poroduce DOCUMENTED evidence - you have NO proof of your false claim about Leo X. If Wikipedia made this idiotic claim and didn't provide documentation - that...
