In God' economy man cannot pay the debt. Christ paid our debt by volunteering to take our place, God the Father demanded that debt to be paid. We were bought with a price, the payment was death that we deserved. The wrath of God is "the wages of sin is death." The One who never sinned and...

I'm not on a high horse, I'm on the Word of God. There is only one Mediator between God and man, the man Christ Jesus. This intercession of dead saints for the living on this earth is not Biblical. You can get upset, that's ok, you can reason and manipulate the Scripture, but it's not there.

You'll need a lot of patience waiting for that answer.

Does the Scripture tell us to pray to the dead saints? Paul did much more for Christ than Mary ever dreamed, should I pray to him also?

I would like to know what the mother of the Son of God means to you, Walter. Do you see Mary as an intercessor of sorts as some Catholics do? I only see a woman blessed by God to be chosen to bear the Son of God. What do you see?

I wasn't talking to another Baptist, I asked Walter the question. What is your reason for associating the deity part of Christ with Mary?

I said that in reference to you believing Mary was the mother of the Son of God. No one would say that without some sort of implication of Mary having power with God. What is your reason for associating the deity part of Christ with Mary?

But Walter, Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, what part of His deity did Mary have anything to do with? She is blessed of all women, I agree, but she has no more power with God than any other person. Her last recorded words in Scripture are telling! She said, "whatever He (Christ) says...

Yes, you certainly will have denials of that, BF, lots of them! The purpose of the hearing of the Gospel is to break through the depravity of man with the truth of Jesus Christ, enabling him to believe and be saved, or reject it. You've got it backwards, my friend!

It's my opinion they deserve the best that can be produced. I hope the fact that they are making changes is a positive one for those in uniform.

I'm glad you did, Cathode! I would like to hear your general thoughts on the Popes statement.

That is an everyday thing for me. To give you a glimpse of what it has become for me, let me tell you about Christmas '23. My Mom passed away in Feb. '23, Dad has been gone since "11, so my sister an I met at the old home place that Christmas. She was standing over by the china cabinet...

That doesn't surprise me, there have been several things in the past 2 years I've been reminded of and have no memory of it.

I haven't seen a P-38 since the 70's and don't remember what a P-51 was.

The Scripture says, "you were bought with a price." I am bought a paid for by the Blood of Jesus Christ by grace through faith. He took my sin debt from me and took it upon Himself, "the just for the unjust." That is what God demanded of Christ to set me free. I know we disagree that when...

Yes, it would.

Didn't have MRE's when I was beatin' the bush. I was issued a P-38.

Do you see Christ being punished for us on the Cross, "the just for the unjust?" "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." "He has made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him."

I would like some input from @Cathode. That would be interesting, I thiink.

The Holy Spirit refers to the great apostle Paul as the master Church builder. If Paul gives us no hint of a woman having the qualifications to be a pastor, who is the man who says a woman does have that qualification?
