I’m not using “until” in Matt. 1:25 to prove Mary’s Perpetual Virginity. I’m using it to illustrate that it does not always carry the connotation of being followed by a subsequent action. Bery often in Scripture, “until” carries a connotation of finality. Frankly, it’s the total absence of...

Yes, I did. You invoked Matt. 1:25 as possible proof that Joseph and Mary had other children. I simply showed that the word "until" (heos) doesn't always point to a subsequant consequence.

That;s a "choice" that YOU'VE made. It's NOT automatically inferred by the text. Sayig that Mary and Joseph had marital relations is simply NOT supported by Scripture. As a matter of fact - ALL of yourr Protestant Fathers rejected this idead. It only came into popular belief in the last few...

Soooo, you forbid Matthew from using ANY other connotation of the word “until”, based on hi usages of it in other verses? That doesn't make much sense. For example - his use of “Adelphos” means uterine brother in one verse – and soothing completely different in other verses (Matt. 18:35, Matt...

Because there's NO Scripural or extra-Biblical reason NOT to . . .

WRONG. It doesn’t need to be proven because it is THERE in Scripture. My argument has never been to prove what the Scripture say are “true”. MY argument all along has been that THIS is what Scripture says about itself. This is NOT up pfor debate, as 2 Tim. 3:16 makes this claim clearly. You’re...

This is a cowardly "defense" of your weak position.

Ummmm - NOT so fast ,. . . This “proof” against the idea of Mary’s perpetual virginity is based on the word “until”. Matt. 1:25 says: "...but kept her a virgin UNTIL she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus." Did Mary have other children after Jesus? the Bible does NOT support...

Because I’m defending a SCRIPTURAL position, Einstein. What else am I supposed to use as evidence? YOUR position is that Scripture is NOT from God but from the writers themselves – and the Scriptures prove you wrong. If you made a false claim about an Amendment of the Constitution – I would...

The Son is God Isa. 7:14, Isa. 9:6, Matt. 4:7, John 1:1, John 1:3, John 8:58, John 10:30, John 14:9, John 20:28, 2 Cor. 4:4, Phil. 2:6, Col. 2:9, 1 Tim. 3:16, Heb. 1:8, Titus 2:13, Rev. 22:13 God says: Rev. 1:8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is...

What part of “ALL SCRITURE is God-breathed” do you not understand? The ENTURE Bible is Scripture. “Scripture” simply means the Word of God that is written down. This is why, in 2 Thess. 2:15 - Paul differentiates tradition that is written (Scripture) tradition that is spoken (Oral). Paul’s...

WRONG. I don't claim it - GOD does. YOU are at odds with God Himself. His sacred Scripture informs us that every word of it is breathed-out from HIM.. Your rejection of God’s authorship is heresy . . . 2 Timothy 3:16 ALL SCRIPTURE is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for...

Let me explain . . . God is the Author of Scripture. He used men – with all of their faculties and abilities to wrote it down. They were the instruments He used to record His Word. Just as God used Moses to free His people from Pharoah, He used scribes to convey His Word. He could have just as...

Use your head. Didn’t God command His people to “HONOR thy Father and Thy mother” (Exod. 20:12)? We honor different people for different things If we love God with ALL of our heart, as Scripture commands – is there NO room left for anyone else (Deut. 6:4-5, Mark 12:30)?? The Mass is comprised...

Didn't you make a note of it earlier when I said that we don't worship her? Is this ehy you ask such stupid (sorry, "silly") questions?

He could have interviewed both Mary and Elizabeth. And, in case you forgot, the Holy Spirit – not Luke is the author of Luke’s Gospel. I trust it is 100% truth because ALL Scripture is breathed out by GOD (2 Tim. 3:16).

First of all – we don’t elevate Mary to a “goddess” position. There is only ONE God (Exod:20-3). But, make no mistake – Jesus DID elevate His Mother. Mark 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother. Above all – Mary’s willingness to do God’s...

When you look at the types and shadows and fulfillments in Scripoture, it’s easier to understand Mary’s role. Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant. The Ark carried the sacred sumbols of God's power and Law. Mary, the New Ark carried God Himself. And, whereas, the Ark was to remain untouched...

No, you don’t. You can “map it” out rudimentarily – but you can’t fully grasp it with your limited human mind. Just like you cannot fully grasp the concept of eternity as it pertains to God’s existence. You can only come to logical terms with portions of the nature of God – but not ALL of it...

Ahhh, yes - the old strategy of vomiting out tired old anti-Catholic falsehoods when the conversation isn't goig your way. That's okay - you're not the first . . .
