    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Do you honestly believe that Jesus was literally calling everybody who does the Father’s will, His “Mother” – or was he simply speaking in general, symbolic terms? Do you believe that Jesus followed the Law perfectly? The Law states explicitly to “Honor your Father and Mother”. For Jesus to...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sooooooo, are you ever going to address my response to your "burden#2"? Here it is again for your review: For “burden” #2 – I’ll ask YOU a question: Are YOU COMPLETELY (finished) and PERFECTLY filled with grace – or is God still working on your sanctification? When will YOUR sanctification be...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. Jesus is FULLY Human and FULLY God. Your perversions if Scripture are heresy. Heb. 2:14-17 Since the children have flesh and blood, HE TOO SHARED IN THEIR HUMANITY so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— and free those who all...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Just take it on the Scriptural case alone. Address the Scriptural case I presented. Are these meree coincidences?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sorry – but I provided Scholarly linguistic evidence to the contrary. I quoted H. W. Smyth, who was one of the most respected and knowledgeable ancient Greek scholars in history. He not only taught ancient Greek at Harvard University, but also in Athens Greece for 15 years and authored some...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. Do you even understand what “paraphrase” means? It simply means to put something in your own words – usually, in more comprehensible terms. Kecharitomene being explained in laymen’s terms. THAT’S what “paraphrase“ means. YOUR rejection of this evidence is just more of your cowardly...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Right HERE. God's grace requires our cooperation . . . Romans 11:22 “See, then, the kindness and severity of God: severity toward those who fell, but God's kindness to you, provided you REMAIN in his kindness; otherwise you to will be cut off.” Paul is warning the faithful to REMAIN in God’s...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    For “burden” #1 – I already presented this evidence. Here is some NON-CATHOLIC scholarly sources . . . "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 Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. Apparently, you haven’t been paying attention to the conversation. I have cited TWO NON-CATHOLIC scholarly sources for the definition of “Kecharitomene”. And your entire ”full of grace” argument goes right OUT the window because I never claimed that this is the definition. Kecharitomene...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    WRONG. When you have been completely and perfectly and enduringly endowed with grace – it means that you are without sin. You CAN be endowed with grace and still have sins – but you cannot be perfectly and completely endowed with grace and have sin. Now – instead of simply calling this...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    It’s funny – Mary’s title of “Kecharitomene” is like KRYPTONITE to both of you anti-Catholics. You guys have been going back and forth about how “BOL won’t believe anything unless the Church says he should – even though we’ve proven him wrong!” You guys haven’t proven anything. I have BEGGED...

    WHY are all of you anti-Catholics so afraid to address Mary's God-Given title of "Kecaritomene"??

    Another non-answer. What a surprise . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Yup - Mary DID have a Savior - and He saved her BEFORE she was born. Oh, and just because YOU "already said" it - doesn't means a thing. You have YET to address her title of "Kecharitomene" . . .

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Let's see . . . HOW many lies is that for you today? I never admitted to any such thing - but your desperation IS cute. I said that there is no EXPLICIT teaching in Scripture about Mary's Immaculate Conception - just like there ios no EXPLICIT teaching on the Trinity, either. However - it IS...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Here’s an interesting side not on Mary being the “Woman” from Genesis 3:15 . . . When she appeared to Juan Diego in the 16th century, he and the native people of the area spoke the Aztec dialect of Nahuatl. They gave her the name of “Coatlaxopeuh”, pronounced “Quatlasupe”. The name was...

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Correct. The fact that she was impregnated by God didn't make her sinless. She was ALREADY sinless. We know this because the Angel called her "Kecharitomene" - remember?

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Soooooo, how many times have YOU been impregnated by God - WITH God Himself?? Anyone in your family?? Mary is the ONLY one - whether YOU like it or not.

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Then maybe I've just been debating the NON-respectable Protestants . . . Really?? Can you show me other examples of this??

    The Doctrine of Purgatory in Catholic Biblical Perspective

    Sure - we are arks in a lesser sense. She was the ONLY person in human history to be impregnated - BY God WITH God. BIG difference.
