Jesus didn't quote from all of the OT and neither did the NT.Where does the bible say that Gods words are always introduced by "It is written" or "Thus saith the Lord"? Jesus didn't use those phrases. Is there a single ancient (BTW, how old is ancient?) document that contains all of the OT? Or are there fragments of documents? The Jews believed and still believe in praying for their dead (Kadesh). Jesus was a Jew, he prayed for the repose of his dead step-father's soul. Hebrews 9:27 only proves that men die and are judged. Read Judith 9 again. Holofernes had come to destroy God's people. She isn't lying for personal gain, but to save her people. Didn't Jacob deceive Isaac? Didn't Abraham deceive the King - Gen 20:5? What would you do to save your family....pretend to cooperate with evil? Would you pray to God to be successful that your family could survive? |

1) "If we confess our sins..."
Resp: I do confess my sins to God. Is it 'Ok' that one of his servants is there to listen, give advise and assure me of God's love and forgiveness thru the power that Christ lent him?2) "HE is God thru Jesus Christ our ONLY mediator..."
Resp: I know that you meant to say, "our only mediator to God the Father", because anyone may be a mediator to Jesus, including you, me, Mary,....and Jesus. 3) "For there is one God and one mediator between God (Father) and men, the man Christ Jesus." 2 Tim 2:5 (KJV)
Resp: Ah...there it is! 4) "Why is that so hard...?"
Resp: I understand perfectly. 5) Why is it so hard for you to understand that asking a living brother or sister to pray for you is no more different than asking a Saint who stands in God's presence to pray for you? 6) Why since the Jews allowed 'circumsistion' and 'Bar Mitzfa's' for their children to become members of God's family, that God wouldn't allow the same kind of path for Christians ["be baptized....in the name of J.C. that your SINS may be forgiven...to you and your Children that the promise was made"-Act2:38-39],["you are now saved by a baptismal bath..."- 1 Peter 3:21] Is this so hard? |

Mh: When 2 Tim was written, there was no New Testament. So Fundi's don't need the NT to be complete and equipped for every good work...Huh? Please note, the quote says complete for every good work...not complete!
A few things that you might not know:
1-Holy Tradition is the word of God as taught to the Apostles and later to their replacements.
2-Holy Tradition can not contradict Scripture, as the RCC understands scripture.
3-While Scripture is God's word, Jesus didn't come to write Bibles, he came to set up the Church. Hence, the Church is to use the Bible as its own hand book and follow it's commands, but Jesus' oral teaching as well, under the guidance of the H.S.
4-God is not the liar, but rather the men who twist his words.
Lyn: To say that Moslems worship the one true God, does not imply Catholic approval of their core beliefs any more than our belief that Protestants do. JPII has been seen kissing the tarmac at 100 different airports...does this imply that these are Holy too! Protestants and Catholics are both Christians and share 2000 years of history, but it's a fool who can't tell his friends from his foes.

I have no problem with Scripture, I love Scripture. Mary is in Heaven with her God and Saviour, why would she read Scripture. But, if you will recall the Great Debate between "Sola Scriptura" vs Holy Tradition and the Lord's promise to send the H.S., who will lead us in all truth, then you will remember that Catholics believe that not all of truth is written literally, some truth is implied in scripture, and some truth comes from the spoken words of Christ to his Apostles, and some is revealed by the H.S. through prayer and over the fullness of time. No where in Scripture does Scripture claim to be the entire library of the faithful; this is Protestantism's great man made tradition (little t). The Immaculate Conception, which so many Fundi's love to mock, is implied in Luke 1:28. The Greek word 'kecharitomene', is found in only one place in this form, it implies an intensive and extensive transformation and perfection of grace in the early life of Mary that lasts thru her whole life. If in God's view, one is 'Full of Grace', then one has no lack of grace, therefore, one is perfect in God's sight, his work in Mary was completed. Only Jesus could claim the same level of grace and he was God. Believe it or not God has more wisdom in store up for man, than is written in man's books. |

DJC49: That "Satanic Whore" that y'all wontonly slander is venerated by millions of actual Christians, evidentially "Not So!" with the sterile Fundi's of SA, nor those "Guardians of Truth", the half-blind Moderators who tend this site like toothless Junk Yard dogs. So be it! There is not a Biblical Mary and a Catholic Mary, there is only one. It was the Orthodox and Catholic Christians that she spoke of when she said, "All generations shall call me blessed...". Catholics have always only worshiped the Trinity and Mary is not God. The Masses in her honor do not worship her, but merely remind us of her special place in God's family and her nearness to the Savior that he should save his Mother from degradation. Missing any Sunday or Holiday Mass on purpose is a mortal sin. Missing a Mass due to circumstance beyond your control is not. I would gladly shed light for those who can see. You SAY that you see, but your sin remains.
MH: You foster a lie when you say that the RCC holds the Islamic faith on the same level as it regards Christianity. Please recall that Catholics and not Protestants have always gone against the Moslems to save Christianity[Crusades, War against the Moors in Spain, Defense of France, Defense of Europe agains the Turks, Battle of Lepanto]. |

Lyn, you make amazing leaps without my having any input. Could you not put words and false beliefs into my mouth.
1) There is more to...
People who acknowledge Abraham and who worship one God, surely must believe they are worshiping the one God of their ancestors faith, however they choose to twist it. 2) Not every one who is...
I agree. I never said that Moslem's are children of God in the same Christian use of the term. 3) Do you honestly...
No, they will pay for their crime on earth or in Hell. 4) Are you will...just because...
We don't side with any apostate religion...theirs or yours. But, we are commanded to preach the Gospel to the whole world. It's really hard to do that while you are condemning your audience to fiery Baptist Hell. 5) May God have mercy...
Thanks and on yours as well. 6) You are truly ignorant...
Not at all. I think that we should oppose Militant Islam wherever we find it...not just with force, but with education and justice. |
