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.

I appreciate hearing people share how the Holy Spirit speaks to them. My experience has not been a 'still small voice' but I am more moved to action that often results in confirmation that it was a 'God thing'. An example would be homeless people panhandling. Usually I don't give money to them...

I recognized that he had been posting as Yeshua1 for years. I was confused as to why he started posting as 'JesusFan'. Maybe he will tell us. The only difference in his posts now is he has stopped using the exclamation ❗ at the end of every post

IMHO, I think you align much closer to Orthodoxy in your atonement position

A local evangelical church continued to assemble during Covid and a significant number of members contracted Covid and also a number of deaths. The Church ended up closed and a new evangelical congregation now meets in their building. Covid was real, it was a killer and too many of my friends...

We need to remember that when people during this time held and taught beliefs that church authorities (and many times state authorities) believed were very dangerous and could cause someone who became convinced of these heretical beliefs to be damned to hell and lead others to Hell as well, they...

He is a sacramentalist. I was curious if you consider him a Christian. Kinda off topic. We could discuss it at another time. Thanks for responding.

Which Anglican church are you asking about? The majority of Anglican jurisdictions are aligned with GAFCON, a conservative (Bible believing) movement which is still within the Anglican Communion but is clearly ready to withdraw leaving the minority to their dwindling congregations. Do you...
