    Why do we need priests?

    "Stories have it"?? That's your problem - you listen to idle nonsense instead of going to the actual Catholic sources to get your wacky information . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Exactly - and that's what has happened. Tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects that ALL teach different doctrines because they ALL claim their interpretations are correct.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    That's absolutely ridiculous. I never claimed any such thing. Maybe you should go back and actually R*E*A*D the posts . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    PLEASE tell me you're not this dense . . . "Hail" is NOT what the angel said. The Greek word used in Luke 1:28 is khah'-ee-ro, which means "be glad" or "rejoice". "Hail" is an ENGLISH word which, by the way, is ALSO just a greeting. If you want to have a serious conversation - then you'll...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    No, but I guarantee you that ancient language scholars of today are MUCH better-equipped to decipher all of the linguistic nuances of ancient Greek MUCH better than people in the 16th century. There is MUCH more information available today than there was back then, Einstein . . .

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Why are you using Matt. 1:25 to make an argument about foreknowledge and/or omniscience?? This is apples and oranges. HOWEVER - if you are trying to show that Joseph and Mary engaged in sexual intercourse based on this verse - then you aren't familiar with Biblical language as it pertains to...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Yes, they ARE related because simple logic should tell you that an omniscient God would have foreknowledge of everything. NOT really understanding your bizarre objection.

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    THANK YOU for proving my point. 2 Cor. 5:21 He made the one who did not know sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might BECOME the righteousness of God. We are not simply "covered" by the righteousness of Christ as Luther FALSELY claimed. We are MADE righteous. We BECOME righteous before...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    WRONG. Linguistic scholars have MORE of an understanding of ancient languages today that they did 400 years ago because they have more evidence to work with. On glaring example is the Dead Sea Scrolls, which weren't found until the 20th century. As usual - you don't know what you're talking...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Soooo God's foreknowledge has nothing to do with his omniscience?? PROVE it.

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    WRONG. We don't know anything about your first two claims above in RED. As for your last remark in RED - YOU are guilty of the lie because YOU are "making up" things about Mary that are not in Scripture. Nowhere is she name as the mother of ANY other child but Jesus. NOWHERE . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Ummmmm, show me ONE OT Type that is more glorious and perfect that its NT fulfillment. THAT'S the whole point . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    And YOU pray to people every day. As I already proved to you - "Pray" simply means "to ASK".

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    I don't bow down to dead people, either. I ask my brothers and sisters in Christ in Heaven to pray for me. They're ALIVE in the presence of God. However - don't ever claim that you don't pray to human beings. Every time you ASK something of somebody - you have PRAYED to them. Definition of...

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    We are commanded in Scripture to pray for one another (James 5:16, 1 John 5:16). Have YOU every prayed for anybody? Has anybody ever asked YOU to pray for THEM? WHY do you do it if they can simply go directly to God in the name of Jesus??

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    And ALL of your examples PROVE my point: That NT fulfillments are ALWAYS more perfect and glorious than their OT Types - without exception. The OT Type is always imperfect compared to the NT Fulfillment. There ends the lesson . . .

    Virgin Mary Had Other Children After Jesus

    Ummmmm, first of all, Jesus is our only mediator because only HIS blood is the perfect sacrifice before the Father for our sins. However, we are all called upon to be intercessors and mediators (James 5:16, 1 John 5:16). Rev. 5:8 shows the Elders in Heaven taking our prayers to God - and Rev...

    The myth of grace-only & easy-believism shattered forever

    Wrong. God HAS foreknowledge BECAUSE He is omniscient. Because He is NOT bound by time (2 Pet. 3:8), He is at EVERY point in history - simultaneously. NO confusion here . . .

    Why do we need priests?

    And there is no division in Christ's Catholic Church. It is monolithic. There IS division, however, in Protestantism - to the tune of tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects that ALL teach different doctrines yet ALL claim to have the "truth". What a mess . . .

    I didn't - YOU did. YOUR comment from post #782: You wanna be dishonest? Do it somewhere else . . .
