Not from Scripture but from extrabiblical texts. The Protoevangelium of James is where we get some of the information about Mary's childhood - as well as the names of her mother, Anna. These are by no means inspired texts - but they are an historical insight.

Soooooo because you DON'T know that Etymology is the science of the development of words - not the translation from one language to another - that makes you right?? That's an asinine argument. Etymology is what it is whether YOU approve or not. You think that because there is one word used for...

The Greek word for a Jewish priest of the temple is hiereús. HOWEVER - according to Strong's Greek Lexicon - it has a specific meaning that doesn't apply to the Christian Priesthood because it refers to the Temple. From Strong's: 2409 hiereús (from 2413 /hierós, "sacred because belonging to the...

Care to tell us what that NT word for "priest" is??

Ummmmmm, because we're talking about etymology - not straight translation. Etymology is the science of the development of words - not the translation from one language to another. Nice try - but no cigar. Presbyter and Priest are synonyms. Let me put it another way . . . In James 15, he...

This isn't a reference to child molestation. Most translations are clear that it is talking about young virgins - not kids. When you consider that women married at a much younger age in ancient times - then you see this more clearly. Mary, the Mother of Jesus is said to have been about 15...

Weak argument As I pointed out - what he said about Jeremiah applies to ALL. He knew ALL of us BEFORE He formed us in the womb because He is not constrained by time. Everything is already completed in His eyes. Once you are able to grasp this - the rest is easy. We also have example such as...

Time for a linguistics lesson . . . Etymology of "Priest: Old English preost, which probably was shortened from the older Germanic form represented by Old Saxon and Old High German prestar, Old Frisian prestere, all from Vulgar Latin prester "priest," from Late Latin presbyter "presbyter...

Hmmmmmm . . . . let's destroy your points in RED - one by one. Idiotic point #1 . . . I'm not speaking for anybody. I'm stating plainly the teachings of Scripture and the 2000 year old Christian Church. Jesus is BOTH God AND Man. Idiotic point #2 . . . I haven't made any "false accusations"...

Then you reject Scripture. In James 5:14:15, he give the following prescription for healing the sick and forgiving their sins: James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick? He should summon the presbyters of the church, and THEY should pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord...

WRONG. The Protestant objection to human intercession is based largely on a single line of Scripture that says, “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Tim. 2:5). However, we also read in the Bible that we are called upon to intercede in prayer for...

WRONG. Jer. 1:5 “BEFORE I formed you in the womb I knew you, BEFORE you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” God is NOT bound by time (2 Pet. 3:8). To Him - ALL human history is like a finished painting. YOUR life - from conception to death has already...

The verse you presented (1 Cor. 15) once again PROVES Christ's humanity. "MAN" refers to humanity. And your heresy is NOT new. Docetism, as it is called, was the Early Church heresy that denied Christ's humanity. it was rejected and defeated at the Council of Nicaea in 325. So - YOU'RE about...

So says the guy who's been repeatedly exposed for sticking his foot in his mouth . . .

More of the blatant dishonesty that has become your hallmark on this forum. Not only did I give you Scriptural support for the doctrine – I gave you no less than THREE passages (John 20:21-23, 2 Cor. 5:18-10, 2 Cor. 2:10) and TWO other Scriptural references (Matt. 16:18-19, Matt. 18:15-18).. I...

Your objection to “Forgive me Father, for I have sinned”, illustrates your complete ignorance of Scripture. St. Jerome wrote, “Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ” – and in this case – he was right on the mark . . . Jesus gave the Apostles (the first Bishops of the Church) the...

Your claim that withholding the Eucharist is “intimidation” shows a pretty glaring ignorance of Scriptural discipline. Christ not only advocated for disciplining wayward sheep – but for excommunicating them: Matt. 18:15-18 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between...

By your own admission – we have had MANY conversations over the last few years. I have repeatedly stated my position on this topic: True Protestant Christians ARE my brothers and sisters in Christ. They are my separated brethren – but brethren nonetheless. Your recent claim that you were...

And, as usual – you’re all over the place - you just can’t seem to stick to a topic. Ummmmmmm, what exactly is “hypocritical” about what I said?? What exactly is “not Scriptural”?? I know you don’t usually know how to deal with specifics – but give it a try . . .
