I do agree that there are many heads and many splintered bodies, but there is no one group of believers in any one organization that I have seen or experienced, including the Catholic Church, that has Jesus as its Head. Only the parts that are properly prepared by the Holy Spirit as those parts...

You went back to your own belief in the CC believing that it is the Church as a presumption rather than considering at all what I presented as a way to resolve the issue. You presume you are right. What Solomon wrote still applies today with regard to unbelievers and believers. Believers in God...

Consider rather that the Baptist realized that he needed a new head for his own head like all of the carnal heads of men could not lead him to the Life that Jesus was bringing. Remember what Jesus said about his head? "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air...

I started to answer all of your assertions one by one and verse by verse when you cited scriptures, but decided that was pointless as no matter what I said short of completely agreeing with you on every point you would adamantly confirm where I was in error. I actually started to do it that way...

Also continuing to pray.

Jesus said it here: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid." Matt 5:14 When all of the "lights" are gone, what will remain? Jesus is gone, but for us. When we are also gone...? "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh...

I believe that Jesus was tempted. He was tempted until he was ready to state that he had overcome the world: "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33 It is in the...

So why was it then that Jesus had to increase "... in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man"[Luke 2:52]? It was because he needed to become something that he was not yet when he was born to Mary in Bethlehem. He was incomplete and he was IN the world. It was not until overcoming...

Actually I don't reject tradition as I have been taught them by God's authority. The question is of course, what is God's authority? You will it is one thing another guy will say it is something else. This is why I keep on checking back with God on each point I have heard from a man. God always...

You have said nothing except that you are still are exactly where you were before. That is not news, but it brings to mind why Jesus wept. I said nothing with regard to what I believe about Jesus so you should not be drawing conclusions.

No, Mary is still just a type of the Body of Christ. She gave birth only to the Head, for the Head, Jesus, was also incomplete until He had overcome his own world of temptations, which he did do before he went to the cross. Jesus went to the cross to open that closed door and to allow us to...

Is it really? Or is it talking about the people who have not defiled themselves by following church groups [women] other than the single undefiled One? "My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and...

What difference does it make who initiated the discussion on it? At best Mary is a type or shadow of the Church. Like all of the types or shadow they are less complete or perfect than the real thing of which they are types and shadows. If someone takes the best of cameras and takes a picture...

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Heb 13:4 So to say that Mary living with Joseph and sleeping with Joseph and copulating with Joseph, her lawful husband, was to defile her is contrary to what the Apostle Paul wrote. As to...

Also praying!

My point was with regard to the perpetual virginity. You were having that discussion with @bbyrd009 in spite of what the OP was and in spite of the Ark of the Covenant. The OP had to do with on whom the Church was built. I did not move away from that. I simply jumped in re others already were...

Sarah was not a young unmarried woman and no virgin when she gave birth to Isaac. Hannah gave birth to Samuel and effectively gave him to God... but God did not leave her then unblessed by additional children: "And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, The LORD give thee seed of...

And so it is to be with each child of God when the Holy Spirit brings the Word to Life in them. Where is perpetual virginity found in this? What Bible version did you use for the II Samuel reference to make it a match with Luke 1:43? "And David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying: How...

Why should Mary not continue to bear children rather than becoming "barren" after the birth of Jesus. What does God expect from people? Why is Mary to be different than other women who become wives? Throughout the scriptures we find types and shadows of that which be realized in the fulfillment...

The apostle Paul answers your questions here: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:" II Thess...
