Your foundation is 'scripture alone'. That is why there is countless evangelical denominations and more added every year And, as much as I love scripture, I know that scripture tells me that's not correct. 1 Timothy 3:15 says the pillar and foundation of truth is the Church! As a Baptist, I had...

Do you think the Catholic Church would teach doctrine that would ever lead us away from Jesus? As Cathode already mentioned, the whole purpose of Mary's life was to lead us to Jesus. There may be some Catholics who have a misguided devotion to Mary and almost make her equal to Jesus, but that’s...

I have explained it for years here and there are still people who post claiming 'infallibility' means Catholics believe that the pope is not capable of sinning. To me this is the most bizarre misinformation about infallibility. If you mention John Paul going to regular confession all you hear...

They really don't understand what 'Ex-Cathedra' means. Jimmy Akins excerpt helps: We must look also at the conditions regarding papal infallibility. According to Vatican I, which defined the doctrine, “the Roman pontiff, when he speaks ex cathedra . . . possesses through the divine assistance...

Distinction between mediation and intercession: Mediation refers to bridging the gap between two parties, which is Christ's unique role in bringing about salvation. Intercession is the act of praying for another, which is something all Christians are called to do. Catholics believe that the...

No infallible dogma has been pronounced by any pope regarding Mary as co-redeemer. Do you think that any opinion or statement made by any pope is believed by Catholics to be infallible? You don't understand what constitutes papal infallibility in Catholic teaching.

Not according to the Bible. Saints hear us and intercede for us. Going back to the Book of Revelation, this is a passage I touched on already, we have the four living creatures, the 24 elders who fall down before the Lord and they’re offering the golden bulls full of incense, which are the...

You are ignorant on what constitutes 'papal infallibility'' so get off your high horse. No infallible pronouncement has been made in many years. Since I am gone for the rest of the day, here is a short read about the intercession of saints who are alive in Christ, BTW: Magazine Praying to...

Asking Mary for intercession is asking her to pray to Jesus on your behalf, a practice seen as similar to you asking a person here in this life to pray for you. Catholics believe this is valid because we believe Mary is the spiritual mother of all Christians and has a unique relationship with...

YOU are the one making that accusation! When you said nobody would refer to her as 'the Mother of the Son of God' without associating her as being a part of creating His Divinity' I showed you the ridiculousness of that statement by quoting another Baptist. Elizabeth acknowledged Mary as the...

Actually, Charlie, another Baptist said it on this thread first. Are you saying this Baptist is implying Mary 'has some power with God'?

Charlie, I never said she created His Divinity. I believe God makes it clear in Gen. 3:15 what her role would play. I also agree with Pope Leo's resent clarification on what the Church teaches about her.

Never said He ever ceased to be the Son of God. He is the Alpha and Omega. That's my point. You have people posting here saying Mary was not Mother to the Son of God, only 'the human Jesus' as if His Divinity was absent at his birth. So many Baptists are intent on making Mary a person who...

In Luke 1:43—a biblical foundation for the Theotokos—wherein Elizabeth “exclaimed [to Mary] with a loud cry, ‘Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?’”

So Mary was the Mother of the Son of God, correct? She was 'God bearer' or Theotokos.

No objection to Mary Mother of God the Son

Nestorianism is a Christian theological view, named after Nestorius, which holds that Jesus Christ is composed of two separate persons: one human and one divine, rather than two natures united in a single person. This doctrine was condemned as heretical by the Council of Ephesus in 431 and the...

Hmmmm, that is the heresy of Nestorianism. Look it up. And, I do recall He is fully man and fully God. BORN THAT WAY. You can not have it both ways

I notice you don't capitalize 'god' but capitalize 'Mother' just like the Jehovahs Witnesses when referring to Mary's role as Theotokos. Jesus is GOD, Mary is His mother. The Early Church referred to her as Theotokos, as we continue to honor her with this title today. And, no, we don't place...

Countless interpretations of scripture leading to countless evangelical denominations.
