How ANYONE could possibly claim that the parable of the 10 virgins in Matthew 25:1-13 has any relationship whatsoever with Mary is beyond comprehension! I can only conclude this is some kind of fiction from the Catholic Church or some fantasy of yours. Matthew 1:25 but had no marital...

Interestingly, some of the Bible translations I have on my computer write that Mary said she was not married: Luke 1:34 And Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no [intimacy with any man as a] husband? AMP (Classical) Luke 1:34 Mary asked the angel, "How can this happen? I am...

Apparently, you've forgotten where God GAVE the land to Israel (welcome to getting older! it gets worse!) - Genesis 12:6-8 (KJV) 6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the LORD appeared unto Abram...

It would seem that several respondents somehow construe the quoted verse to magically switch from 'present tense' to 'forever future tense'. I am aware that it is the official position of the Roman Catholic Church in their Catechism that proclaims Mary's perpetual virginity that was somehow...

Isaiah 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. (KJV) Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a...

I had to check the Strongs' Concordance on the use of 'benevolence' in 1 Corinthians 7:3. It shows as being the Greek word: eunoia, which is defined as: "kindness, euphemistically conjugal duty - benevelolence, good will'. It's my opinion that the 'conjugal duty', ie, normal husband & wife...

Given the excessive number of threads and responses in this forum an others regarding Mary, I have to ask...WHY? Why are Catholics so fixated on Mary? Why does every Catholic church have a significant number of statues and shrines to Mary on the premises and only the giant crucifix with...

A 2004 movie produced, directed, and co-written by Mel Gibson.

You started the exact same thread several months ago! September 10, to be exact. Are you expecting different answers here than back then? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is called 'insanity' by the head shrinkers out there. Perpetual virginity of Mary!

I KNOW that song! I used to know the words, too! Being born and raised in the beer capital of the world (Milwaukee, WI - Blatz, Miller, Pabst, Schlitz HQ and breweries were all there when I was a young 'un) How could I NOT drink a LOT of beer? So the answer to your $64,000 question? Frankie...

Not true at all! But then, I guess it 'fits' with replacement theology that you stated you believe. In the 23 verses in the KJV that use the term: dogs, NONE of them are in reference to any people, Jew or Gentile, in any form. All references to dogs are generally negative in their tone likely...

If ANY of what you wrote is true, then both God and Jesus REPEATEDLY LIED!!! And if they lied, then nothing in the Bible can be considered truth. In particular...Jesus will NOT be the king UNTIL HE reigns on the throne following the 7 years of tribulation. Jesus is NOT 'replacing' David, as...

One of the interesting things about Gods' Word is that the English translations can sometimes 'miss' the distinctions in usage of the same Hebrew/Aramaic/Greek words. Look at how "love" in Greek (agape) is translated to 'charity' as an example. In particular, the use of the word 'perfect' in...

Actually, I think that 30% of the worlds' population is going to heaven is way high. While 30% is a reasonable number of people that call themselves Christian, in actuality, a vast majority of those are 'head knowledge' Christians, but are not Christians that are truly born again believers...

Perhaps no book of the Bible authorship is more disputed among theologians than that of Hebrews. The quoted introduction indicating that the author is unknown is astounding. Perhaps claiming it to have been written by 'unknown' is a subtle means to discredit Paul's epistles written by...

Some may have differing opinions, but the church (Ekklesia in Greek = called out assembly) was Jews only (OK, maybe a gentile here and there) until Paul had spent 3 years with Jesus in the desert and Jesus provided the mystery of salvation by faith alone. Time wise, at least in my opinion, that...

While looking at, reading, pondering, and considering a single verse can be useful and enlightening, as often happens, taking a verse without considering its surrounding context can lead one down erroneous paths. In particular, one must look at the full complement of armor God provides us with...

It would also seem that multiple respondents in this thread take a verse or two out of context and then misinterpret it. Specifically, the phrase 'after those days' is the source of much contention in this thread. In particular, that phrase demands that one determine: after WHAT days? Of the...

Now that this thread seems to have calmed down, perhaps it's time for me to jump in and state a couple of my beliefs about Gods' Word and what it says. Let me start by saying that I take the Bible, eg, Gods' Word as 100% inerrant, God-inspired truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...

To address a couple of issues in the posts above... John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (KJV) John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before...
