PLEASE skip the referencing....
AND QUOTE THE SCRIPTURE that says MARY was sinless.


A good tree!

Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

The fruit of the tree of Mary is our salvation! Matt 1:21 Lk 2:30 Jesus is our salvation! This reflects the immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus!
Lk 1:30 Mary found our salvation!
Lk 1:38 consented to our salvation!

A good tree (immaculate conception) Lk 1:49 God has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes!

gen 3:15 enmity! Total war!
None of his works are found in her!

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

A sinner would be an evil tree with evil fruit, but the fruit of Mary is salvation!

Mary brings in the good fruits of our redemption and salvation!

lk 1:28 full of grace!

Rev 12:1 clothed with the sun! Immaculate purity!

Mary ever virgin, mother of God, is all powerful!

I did not say “how it is” or by what means she is all powerful!

Your claims over and over and over....are revealed...
Yet you do not reveal one Scripture source for your claims.
WHY NOT?

WILL you quote the scriptures that say;
“Mary ever virgin”?
“Mary, Mother of God”?
“Mary is all powerful”?

Do you just make this stuff up, or did you read it in Scripture?

if you are saved you cannot deny Christ? That’s a question

“IF you are saved you cannot deny Christ”.....is a statement!
“Do you deny Christ”? .... is a question!

Did you go to catholic school? <—- that is a question!

Not one reference to Mary being sinless.
You have make up false claims.

Who is denying Christ?

I’ll rephrase it just for you!

How can you say you’re saved, and still have the possibility to deny Christ?

as scripture says;

2 Timothy 2:12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

“if” means it is possible

Christ founded the church

TRUE statement!!!!!

so to accuse the church is to accuse Christ!

TRUE STATEMENT!!!

Christ and His apostolic church are one!

TRUE statement!!!!

NOW - unfortunately for you, the "Holy Roman Catholic Denominational system" wasn't, ISN'T, and never will be "His Apostolic Church".
It's nothing more than "just another" Denomination(s) among the Visible Church systems in the world. Christ's Church is comprised of ALL Born Again Christian believers in the world, both physically alive and Physically dead. It's LIVING members are found in almost ALL Visible Church systems in varying proportion with RELIGIOUS TARES - i.e. some members of the Roman Catholic system are Born again Christians (not because of the Roman Catholic system, but in spite of it), and some members of the Roman Catholic system are nothing but "religious Catholic TARES".

How I am SAVED is according to the WAY.



I said no such thing....ask a catholic about denying Christ.

I’ll rephrase it just for you!

OP ^

Seems to be a matter of placing Trust in the Created being greater than the Creator.

Rom 1:
[25] Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

yes! Mary is all-powerful!

I also explained it!

Mary ever virgin, mother of God, is all powerful!

I did not say “how it is” or by what means she is all powerful!

I did not say it was cos she is God!

Mary’s prayers are all powerful not cos she is God but because her son is God!

and on becoming man He (Jesus) obeyed his own commandments

you might check out the one that says “honor Thy father and mother”

even the time set by almighty God for the public ministry of Christ had not come, Jesus Christ performed the miracle cos his mother interceded, thus a higher law, “honor thy father and mother” if ANYONE else asked it would NOT have been done!
John 2

and cos of her intercession the disciples believed in Him!
Jn 2:11

she is powerful by grace Jn 15:5

This has GOT TO BE the funniest thing I've seen here in quite a while!!!!

How does a Catholic handle Mark 3:31-35 when Mary and her kids came to grab Jesus, because they thought He'd gone nuts?????

To use an English term - clear as mud.

I said I am saved. I never said I have the possibility to deny Christ.

as scripture says;

2 Timothy 2:12
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

“if” means it is possible

“If we suffer, we shall also reign with him...”
That applies to me:
for example conversing with a majority Catholics is suffering.
for example a cheating, lying, dictator President is suffering.
for example being in the presence of corrupt men OF the world is suffering.

“If we deny him”....does not apply to me.
“I have NOT denied Him”. “I can NOT deny Him”.

Every UNSAVED person has the “possibility” to deny Christ.
That applies to you, who says you are “not saved”.
That does not apply to me, because “I am saved”.

When you pray to Mary...
WILL you tell us....what YOU say to her? <— that is a question.
WILL you tell us what SHE says to YOU? <— that is a question.

Good enough for Angels!
Good enough for the Bible!
Good enough for me!

Hail Mary! Full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou among women,
Lk 1:28 blessed is the fruit of thy womb, (Jesus) Lk 1:42 Holy Mary, mother of God, Lk 1:43 pray for us sinners, now,
rev 5:8 and at the hour of our death, Matt 24:13 amen!

scripture has no denominations only the true church and heretical sects according to the tradition of men

nowhere does it say the church born again believers

Believers are only catechumens and not Christians

what does born again mean? How is one to become born again?
