The real problem is that you cannot believe Jesus is God the Son without calling Mother of God. I would tell you hundred times, Jesus is God !

Your logic means that God must have a Mother, otherwise, He is not God !

So, your god has a mamma !

Jesus was God, without need of Mary, before He came into this world.

God the Son Incarnate ie: Jesus Christ is son of Mary, yes. No problem with that. [/QB][/QUOTE]

Is the title of Your God Son of Mary?
Do you say that God is Son of Mary?

Your god must be different from our God who is the Creator of All including Mary, His servant.

Could you not understand that Heb writer is mentioning the Earthly father ?

If you believe that Jesus has the Earthly father, it is Heretic, unbelieving the Virgin Birth. [/QB]</font>[/QUOTE]The text is silent on that point. You are reading something in that isn't there.

Therefore, since Mary was the Mother of Jesus, she was Mother of God. This is so clear it's crystal

Lk 1,43 "And whence is this to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me?"

It will be interesting to see if all the bible believers in this forum can actually call Mary - mother of my Lord. [Eek!]
I had forgotten about that verse. Seems they are going to ignore because it is inconvient for them to have to deal with it.

That is what you should call Mary, Mother of the Lord, Mother of Jesus, Mother of James and Josetos, not Mother of God !

So Jesus is not God? Is not Lord a title used to refer to God? What would be the difference between calling Mary mother of the Lord and Mother of God? None.

#1 Elijah was never dead - God took him to heaven directly without dying. (Just as He did with Enoch).

#2. Jude quotes from the "Assumption of Moses" when it recalls the story of Michael and Satan arguing over the body of Moses and the right of Michael to raise him from the dead in that story about the "Assumption of Moses". Since Jude approves of that detail -- I accept it.

Isaiah 8:
19 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead ?
Amen! Exactly as stated in scripture!!

In Christ,

Ooops Alert Alert Alert Possible Bible Contradiction. Which interpretation should we take, Joshua's book or the Assumption of Moses :eek: Can't have it both ways. Either you believe what the Bible "clearly" says or you don't.

You have to discern between what Bible says about the dead in general,and how Bible explains that even the dead are like living from the view of God, because He knows everything and even the dead persons are sleeping and waiting for the resurrection either for life or for the eternal punishment.

Prayer to the dead is found nowhere in the Bible, but only in Apocrypha (II Macc)

I think you mean according to Scripture and sound theology.(If you are refering to Mary as the Mother of God. If you are refering to Mary as omni-present you are wrong The Passion certainly never emphasized or even hinted at this idea.)

Well, let me ask you this. If Moses died, and Moses is talking to Jesus during the trasfiguration hwow can you say that he is asleep waiting for the resurrection?

It might be interesting question.
But I believe Jesus is Omniscient and could do anything. Now the question is on the side of Moses. If Moses woke up for himself, then it could be a problem. But he was waken up by Jesus.
So, this doesn't give us the example of praying to the dead or for the dead.

I do not think very many claim Theotokos is omni-present. Rather she is the mother of the Church and as such intercedes and prays for it. But Christ alone is our Salvation. If anyone teaches that Mary is omni-present it would just be another RCC heresy.
Saying that "she is the mother of the Church and as such intercedes and prays for it" is also heretical.

Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God. Mary is the mother of the human nature of the God-man, Jesus Christ, not the Divine nature. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, an eminent British pastor of Westminster Chapel during the 20th century, writes [God the Father, God the Son, page 262]: “As the Lord’s divine nature had no mother, so His human nature had no father.”

Calling Mary the Mother of God is heretical.

How could people invent such idea that a dead woman intercede for the Church of God?

Such idea is based on Omni-Presence of Mary. Does Mary know about everything in the world? Can she understand about the modern life? Where did she learn about the automobile accidents and traveling by airplanes?

Does any human being become Omni-scient after death?

Moses was resurrected by Michael the archangel. Whether you believe Michael to be Christ or not, there is only one reason to get the body of one who is dead, that is to unite it again with the spirit, or breath of God. At which time Moses became once again a living soul. Or do you suppose that the body of Moses is on some kind of display,or exibit in heaven? That would be nonsense. It is at the resurrection that the body is taken and reunited with the spirit, or breath of God, who gave it in the first place. Then all who have died in Christ will once again be living souls for eternity.

This was punished severely:

Psalm 106:28

They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead .

I believe this relates to Numbers 25:2-3

There are some people who are rather blessed than Mary:

a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. 28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it

Jude 1:9 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

What kind of argument do you think they were having over the body of Moses?

4983 swma soma so'-mah

from 4982; TDNT-7:1024,1140; n n

AV-body 144, bodily 1, slave 1; 146

1) the body both of men or animals
1a) a dead body or corpse
1b) the living body
1b1) of animals
2) the bodies of planets and of stars (heavenly bodies)
3) is used of a (large or small) number of men closely united into one society, or family as it were; a social, ethical, mystical body
3a) so in the NT of the church
4) that which casts a shadow as distinguished from the shadow itself


The Devil, who is the accuser of the bretheren, was trying to prevent the resurrection of Moses. Claiming him as his, since he sinned in the wilderness and was not allowed to lead the children of Israel into the promised land. Just as he stands as the accuser of all those who are in Christ. He will do all possible to prevent us from obtaining the eternal life granted in and through Jesus Christ.


1 Pet 5:8-11 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
