    I've explained this to you before - but soince you like to play the "I never heard that one before" game - I'll explain it to you again . . . The Angel DIDN'T say, "Hail, thou that art highly favoured". He said, "Hail Kecharitomene." The Greek word is Kecharitomene that Luke used in his Gospel...

    I'm ALSO all of those things. However - I don't hold the office of Apostle/Bishop. and neither do YOU. This was NOT an office that was given to ALL followers of Christ - but only the Twelve - and their successors (Acts 1:20).

    No - we don't. YOU don't have an unbroken line of authoritative succession and neither do I. What makes you think you do?

    Mother of James?

    Really? So, they have a unbroken chain of succession that goes all the way back to the Eleven in Acts 1?

    YOU shou ask Uzzah (1 Chroin. 13:9-10) if he felt the same way YOU do . . .

    WRONG. There are NO female Apostles - and there never were. Apostle is a "OFFICE" - and that office is called a "Bishopric" (Acts 1:20). The office of Apostle wasa a successive office that was handed down through the centuries to other Bishops.

    This is an asinine statement to make. Do you believe that the Revolutionary War was faught in the 18th ventury? Do you have any witnesses - or do you simply rely on NON-Scriptural sources to inform you about it? Just because somnething wasn't considered to be God-inspoired and included in the...

    Mother of James?

    WRONG again. We get Mary's Perpetual virginity from Scripture (Luke 1:34, Matt. 27:56, Mark 15:40, John 19:25) and Sacred Tradition. I only cited the Protoevangelium as an historical sourc because so many Protestant scholars derive SOME of their facts about Mary from it - while discarding the...

    Can you show me where the Bible teaches that ALL of FUTURE sins forgiven without having to repent of them? Chapter and Verse, please . . .

    You mean - like ALL of your Protestant Fathers in the 16th century and since? Got it . . .

    Mother of James?

    NOBODY has sis that the idea that Joseph was a widower is Scriptural. As a metter of fact I have been explicit in saying thta it is from an extrabiblical historical document. Where are you guys getting your dishonest information?

    Interesting. Does your Bible mention the "Trinity"? How about the "Incrnation"? Does it contain the List of Books that belong in it? NOT everything we adhere to as Christians is explicitly mentioned in Scripture. NOT everything Jesus mentioned was explicity from Scripture, either . . . Matt...

    Ummmm, it was a group of Catholic Bishops with the Authority of Christ (Matt. 16:18-19, 18:15-18, Luke 10:16), guided by the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-15) who declared the New Testament that YOU adhere to.

    Mother of James?

    Thank you for your continued ignorance. It makes MY job that much easier . . . Innocent I, in his letter to Bishop Exsuperius of Toulouse listed the official Canon of Scripture - which was first formally declared at the Synod of Rome in 383. His "condemnation" of the Protoevangelium was simply...

    Mother of James?

    Spoklen like another ignorant person who has NEVER read early documents about the culture of the people of Palestine in the 1st century. You ALWAYS insert your foot in your mouth because of your abject ignorance of history, Scripture and languange. As I explained earier - according to the...

    Is Purgatory, Limbo, and Hades, bascally Greek Myths or just Mistranslation.

    Final Purification (Purgatory) doesn't negate Christ's ONE sacrifice - it certifies it. It is BECAUSE of what He did that I can be MADE perfect. I won't have to try to "sneak" into Heaven like Luther's "snow-covered dunghills" because He will have MADE me perfect before entering. NONE of us...

    Mother of James?

    We learn from Tradition and extrabiblical documents such as the Protoevangelium that Joseph, who was a older widower married Mary as her protector. According to tradition, Mary was a consecrated temple virgin who had taken a vow of chastity. This is why Mary was puzzled and asked the Angel...

    Mother of James?

    WRONG. There is nothing "ambiguous" about the 3 Marys at the Crucifixion. They are ALL named and described. They just don't add up to YOUR idea of who they should be - so you calim it is "ambiguous". As for the context of the accusers of Jesus - it makes PERFECT sense that they would point to...

    Is Purgatory, Limbo, and Hades, bascally Greek Myths or just Mistranslation.

    WRONG. Not only does the Biblical doctrine of a Final Purification (Purgatory) NOT spit on the blood of Christ - it attests to the mercy of God and shows us what was made available to us by the death and resurrection of our Lord. Unlike the UNBIBLICAL Protestant idea that we all get to sneak...

    Mother of James?

    WRONG. For starters - there are THREE Marys at the Crucifixion - NOT two: 1) Mary, mother of Jesus - John 19:25. 2) Mary Magdalene - Matt. 27:56, Mark 15:40, John 19:25. 3) Mary, relative of the mother of Jesus and wife of Clopas (Alphaeus) and mother of James and Joses (Joseph) - Matt. 27:56...
