Does this clarify what Catholics, Lutherans, Orthodox and many Anglicans believe? One Divine Person: Jesus is one divine person, not two separate persons (God and man). Person, Not Nature: Mary is the mother of the divine person, Jesus, not the source of His eternal divine nature. Theotokos...

Well, the title Theotokos' only became necessary to combat the heresy of Nestorianism. I respect your opinion, however, and know how many Baptists object to the title 'Mother of God'.

You are correct. Over the years we have watched multiple banned members reappear using a different name and IP address. They eventually are exposed. I know, despite his claims, that easternstar wasn't a member before Mur was banned and he seems to have similar focus. He has made several...

Hi Charlie: No, being blessed and 'highly favored' or 'full of grace' is very significant, however. Let's take a closer look at this. And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? Please consider what another Catholic being asked a very similar question and how...

You lied when you said you joined the board before Mur was banned. Did you think nobody would check?

He was born fully man and fully God. No one is saying Mary created Christ's Diety. He is the Alpha and Omega. She did give birth to the Christ child who was fully God at birth. Period. Are you saying Mary was only the Mother of the human Jesus? That's Nestorianism.

Mur was banned in the beginning of November but Easternstar joined on November 19th, I suspect using a different IP address. I believe he learned from what got him banned before. Mur did not hesitate to post lies. And, I am not talking about theological differences, I am talking about...

Mur was banned long before you joined, so you are posting untrue statements. BTW, Mur posted personal attacks just like you are beginning to do. Can you show us a post by Mur AFTER you joined. If so, I will gladly apologize. I have made mistakes in the past and I am always ready to admit to it.

IP'S don't match but easy to use a different IP. He sounds very similar and I guess time will tell. If I become convinced he isn't pulling the same game other previously banned members have pulled, I will apologize. Presently, I smell a rat.

Exactly! If you'd been a member before you were banned as Mur you'd have a leg to stand on. When it quacks like duck . . . You have altered some of your positions somewhat to become a little more of a skeptic instead of an outright universalist. You told me in a post you weren't sure if you...

It means some of us are on to you

'Only in the mind of the RCC'? Again Charlie posts untrue statements. How about Orthodoxy, Anglican, Polish National and many Lutherans churches who also believe in apostolic succession? Millions and millions of Christains not part of the Catholic Church believe in apostolic succession.

Do you believe that all humanity is eventually saved? Do you believe that any punishment in the afterlife is only temporary? I am trying to figure out what your current position would look like.

It may be of interest that I lived in Massachusetts just a few miles from several convents and monasteries that were followers of Fr. Feeney, who were excommunicated along with Fr. Feeney for teaching that only Catholics could be saved. This misunderstanding of Church teaching is why clarifying...

Again, show us the official teaching of The Catholic Church which is The Catechism, Charlie. It's 'the reliable source'. Magazine No Salvation Outside the Church Fr. Ray Ryland • 12/1/2005 Listen to the audio version of this content Why does the Catholic Church teach that there is “no...

Wrong again, Charlie. You really need to read The Catechism of the Catholic Church before you post what the Church teaches. As Cathode has already told you, the Catholic Church has never taught Mary is Co-redeeemer or Mediatrix. If it ain't in The Catechism it ain't official teaching. Like...

Yup, a poor title choice given the perception of the majority of people who will see it. I am sure it was an innocent decision, but as Ascetic X mentioned, it will cause unnescessary confusion.

Yes, the ELCA has lost it's theological mooring. Fortunately, the LCMS and WELS have kept a firm biblical position on the issue. However, there's constantly an attack on inerrancy of scripture within most seminaries I know about. It starts in the seminaries. If a denominations seminaries...

So you are saying I Timothy 3:15 is incorrect. Interesting. You see, Charlie, the problem of why there are so many doctrinal splits and interpretations among evangelicals always bothered me. If two pastors, who seemed to live upright, holy lives, taught divergent doctrines and each claimed his...

Here's an observation. I have watched the denominations that have started ordaining homosexuals who are 'practicing' and marrying gay couples. These denominations already were in sharp decline before taking thus step off a very steep cliff. I know a liberal pastor (ELCA) who told me before...
