If YOU believe that the people in Heaven are "DEAD" - then you don't believe in Christ. Sooooooo, why are you wasting your time pretending to believe? Luke 20:38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”

Well, that's great - but you didn't answer the question. In post #45 - YOU told me me: "I find no basis to elevate any tradition above what the Bible does or does not say." So, I asked you about Sola Scriptura. WHY do you believe this man-made 16th century invention if it is NOT taught in...

I DO ask Paul to pray for me. I ask MANY saints in Heaven to pray for me. We don't just ask Mary. In post #97, @Philip James clearly showed you this when he wrote: "ALL you holy men and women, pray for us!"

Okay - so answer the question: Did Moses SEE and HEAR Jesus at the Transfiguration?

I saw his answer right after your initial question.

They were sinners in their sinful flesh which they are no longer hindered by. They have been made perfect in Christ. Mary was "Kecharitomene" (Luke 1:28), so she didn't sin. NOTHING imperfect or impure can enter Heaven (Rev. 21:27).

Nope. I simply ask her to pray for me because she is a member of the Body of Christ in Heaven. You don't know that? Cool - can you show me where the Bible says that? Chapter and Verse, please . . . You see - MY Bible says that Jesus is the Author of faith (Heb. 12:2). It also says that He IS...

I've never called you a "liar" - or any other name for that matter. I have CAUGHT you in MANY lies, however. As for your 2nd comment above in RED - there is ZERO excuse for anybody to post lies on a debate forum with ALL of the information on the internet at your fingertips. If you ave a...

Really? Soooooo, do you feel that way about Sola Scriptura? How about Sole Fide?

And it's no great wonder that YOU would chime in with yet another idiotic, and unsubstantiated claim . . .

Maybe - but I wouldn't formulate a doctrine around that statement. The weight of Scriptural and linguistic evidence is against the idea that Mary had other children. That, coupled with the complete ABSENCE in Tradition or ANY extrabilical literature - which ALL proclaim her Perpetual Virginity.

Jesus's resurrected body was his glorified flesh. He told His apostles that He was NOT a spirit - bur flesh. Spirit's don't eat - Jesus DID. Luke 24:38-39 And he said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me...

It was "disregarded" because it is an airtight argument that cannot be argued against. As I stated in that post - the "brethren" (Adelphoi) of Jesus which are never said to be the children of Jesus' mother Mary - are the children of the other Mary standing near the cross with her. - I gave ALL...

This was ALL dealt with in post #14. Please read and respond to that post before moving on.

If you consider exposing lies and falsehoods as "morally disastrous" - then color me guilty. I have PLENTY of charitable conversations with non-Catholics here who choose NOT to spread anti-Catholic manure around. We may disagree - but we always have civil discourse. One of my favorites is...

Your statement in RED doesn't make ANY sense at all. Here is what the Bible teaches . . . - Jesus is Truth itself (John 14:6). - His Church is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth (1 Tim. 3:15). - His Church is the FULLNESS of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23). - His Church is the Body of Christ and He is...

I never denied that God is almighty. The Scriptures tell us that mush so you are correct in saying that this is not a matter of Tradition. I stated very plainly that the Canon of Scripture IS part of Sacred Tradition because it is NOT taught in the Bible. And yes, it WAS the Catholic Church...

I'll leave the Catholic Church today and join YOUR group. Chapter and Verse, please . . .

The Catholic Church wasn't "born" after the 6th century. Methinks you need a history lesson . . . 1st century Bishop of antioch, Ignatius - who was a student of the Apostle John wrote 7 Letters before his martyrdom in Rome at the beginning of the 2nd century. Here is an excerpt of his Letter to...

Sort of . . . Matt.16:15-18 is partially about witnessing - but is about discipline and Church Authority. Matt. 18:15-18 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take...
