Ummmm, NOT according to the BIBLE . . . Matt. 2:23 - the prophecy "He shall be a Nazarene" is ORAL TRADITION. It is not found in the Old Testament. This demonstrates that the Apostles relied upon oral tradition and taught by oral tradition. Matt 23:2 - Jesus relies on the ORAL TRADITION of...

The BIBLE itself puts Sacred Tradition on par with Scripture . . . 2 Thess 215 "Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, whether by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a letter from us." Why do YOU teach something different that what the Bible teaches??

Apparently you didn't R*E*A*D my post. Go back and read it. I explained that many spurious and outright heretical versions were being privately translated. You are also making the false claim that "Rome" burned at the stake those who tried to translate the Scriptures. "Rome didn't burn anybody...

I was banned on this forum for a several weeks for exposing anti-Catholic lies – so I don’t think I’ll be on here long after this post. Suffice it to say that your shoddy “history” is chocked full of LIES, to say the least. This site is just another example of blatant anti-Catholicism run...

Jesus prayed in EVERY one of those verses because He was asking something of somebody. Maybe BOTH of you need to take a course in rudimentary English . . .

Actually - I'm not because I didn't say that. I said that praying is asking - and I have PROVEN it with no less than THREE scholarly sources . . . Game. Set. MATCH.

And ALL you have given me are your opinions. On the other hand - I have employed a Greek Lexicon, a respected collegiate Dictionary and a Thesaurus to prove my position. Debates are about presenting FACTS - not opinions. If you can't present the facts - move out of the way and let someone else...

I see you completely ignored my post showing you that there are MANY words that have different meanings. You ALSO claimed that Pray and Ask were NOT synonyms - but you are WRONG. From Thesaurus.com . . . pray verb: plead; call upon for help, answer Synonyms for pray ask beseech recite urge...

Please refer to my last post for a rudimentary English lesson . . .

I'm sorry - I just had to go back to this argument of yours because it is so woefully-ignorant. You;ve NEVER heard of a word that has more than ONE meaning?? Here are some examples that I learned in the 3rd grade that I thought would be helpful: "Beat" 1. to strike (a person or an animal)...

No - they're the SAME thing. The fact that YOU can't seem to wrap your mind around this speaks volumes about YOU more than anything else . . .

This is about THE most ignorant thing you've said yet. Prayer is NOT asking?? Even when Greek lexicons and Webster's Dictionary agree that it IS?? "Pray" is a legal, juridical term that is used in police reports and court documents - and it simply means "ASK".

But it is NOT necromancy - so your entire argument just went out the window; Now - as soon as YOU can show me a passage of Scripture that states ALL those in Heaven have been kicked out of the Body of Christ - you might be able to defend your ignorant statement in RED . . .

Your ignorance is astounding. I have covered this multiple times already. The prohibition in Deuteronomy is against Necromancy. Necromancy is not about asking a saint in Heaven to pray for you. Necromancy is seeking oracles/information FROM the dead. That's what "consulting the dead" means.

Strong's IS a Greek lexicon - and the definition of "pray" is the same as Webster's Dictionary. As for who I am asking for prayers from - I ask members of the Body of Christ to pray for me - just like every Protestant does. Why would you think that this would negate my praying directly to God...

I'me not "denying" anything. I'm simply not inventing rubbish like YOU are. If a pagan picked his nose prior to the dawn of Christianity - YOU give them the credit for having invented nose-picking. That's an idiotic standard. Not everything that Early Christians did that had similarities to...

And ALL of this has already been proven to be a gigantic pile of manure invented by the likes of Alexander Hislop (The Two Babylons), Loraine Boettner (Roman Catholicism) and Jack Chick (pick whatever cartoon "tract" you like). "Sun gods" and "Semiramis" and "Tammuz" and all of the other...

Sooooo, I took your advice and went to Strong's Greek Concordance and Lexicon to find the Biblical definition of the word "Pray" and found the SAME definition as Merriam Webster's Dictionary: To supplicate (ask) To worship So - the Biblical and Dictionary definitions are in agreement - and...

Funny you should say that because I haven't seen the verse that says you cannot pray to anybody BUT God. Can YOU show it to me? Chapter and Verse, please . . . While you're at it, maybe you can furnish us with your credentials, showing how YOU are more of a linguistic authority than Merriam...

Apparently, you skipped over the definition of the word "Pray" that I pasted from Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary. Do you have a better, more complete definition? Did you see the 135 Scripture references I presented that show Christ Himself praying to people?? Perhaps, you should read...
