true story!

Example of the power of the “Hail Mary”

a man trained his parrot to say “Hail Mary” one day when he was away the parrot was outside and when about to be seized by a hawk the parrot cried out! “Hail Mary”! And the hawk fell dead!


“Hail Mary” the new song of salvation!

Psalm 149:1
Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.

MY mistake.
I meant to post THIS passage from the same Letter to the Corinthians . . .

1 Cor. 1:10-17
I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment. For it has been reported to me by Chloe's people that there is quarreling among you, my brothers. What I mean is that each one of you says, “I follow Paul,” or “I follow Apollos,” or “I follow Cephas,” or “I follow Christ.” Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name. (I did baptize also the household of Stephanas. Beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized anyone else.) For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.


We are ALL supposed to ne – as Paul writes:
Eph. 4:4-4
There is ONE body and ONE Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— one Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Even one word is still the word of God!


Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away

No factory produces Christians that would be the Holy Spirit using the scriptures God provided for us, which excludes the lies of the RCC. Un-like those stuck in idolatry (RC’s) Christians depend on God not the imaginations of evil men.

I don’t answer out of context and proof texting, but if you have any scripture that hasn’t been yanked out of context share it.
No – you’ve RUN like a coward from every challenge I’ve posed to you,

- YOU claimed that Catholics practiced “idolatry” and “Mary worship”.
I challenged you too show me this teaching from the Catechism - and you FAILED.

- YOU made the ridiculously stupid claim that “No Roman Catholic has everever produces one verse in context that supports any Marian doctrine.” When I posted contextual proof that Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant – you FAILED to respond.

- I have repeatedly explained to you that “Roman” Catholic Church is erroneous - -and you FAILED to understand.

- YOU claimed that Apostolic Succession was a false teaching. When I gave you explicit Scriptural support for it - you FAILED to respond.

- YOU claimed that the Catholic Church had “replaced” Jesus with Mary, the Father with a Pope and the Holy Spirit with a human priest.
When I asked you to show me proof of this – you FAILED to respond.

Your posts have been nothing but one pathetic failure after another – and yet you claim to know the truth.
You’re a false representative of Christ - and I’ve repeatedly exposed your incredible ignorance .

What about 2 John 1:12?

Are you expecting the author of 2 John to show up face to face and speak to you?
You miss the point.
2 John 1:12
Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.
John prefers to speak face to face, his letter is not enough. This one verse destroys sola scriptura. John places greater value on oral preaching rather than his letter. It's both/and, not either/or.

Mark 13:31 – heaven and earth will pass away, but Jesus’ Word will not pass away. But Jesus never says anything about His Word being entirely committed to a book. Also, it took 400 years to compile the Bible, and another 1,000 years to invent the printing press. How was the Word of God communicated? Orally, by the bishops of the Church, with the guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit.

Mark 16:15 – Jesus commands the apostles to preach the Gospel to every creature. But Jesus did not want this preaching to stop after the apostles died, and yet the Bible was not compiled until four centuries later. The word of God was transferred orally.

Mark 3:14; 16:15 – Jesus commands the apostles to preach (not write) the gospel to the world. Jesus gives no commandment to the apostles to write, and gives them no indication that the oral apostolic word he commanded them to communicate would later die in the fourth century. If Jesus wanted Christianity to be limited to a book (which would be finalized four centuries later), wouldn’t He have said a word about it?

Luke 10:16 – He who hears you (not “who reads your writings”), hears me. The oral word passes from Jesus to the apostles to their successors by the gracious gifts of the Holy Spirit. This succession has been preserved in the Holy Catholic Church.

Luke 24:47 – Jesus explains that repentance and forgiveness of sins must be preached (not written) in Christ’s name to all nations. For Protestants to argue that the word of God is now limited to a book (subject to thousands of different interpretations) is to not only ignore Scripture, but introduce a radical theory about how God spreads His word which would have been unbelievable to the people at the time of Jesus.

AND I TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE LUTHER, AND UPON THIS LUTHER
I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH, 15 CENTURIES FROM NOW.
FOR UNTIL THEN, ALL THEOLOGIANS, SAINTS AND CHURCH LEADERS
WILL BE DEVOID OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. AND WILL BE INCAPABLE
OF INTERPRETING MY WORD,
things Jesus never said

I hardly hang a “preference of face to face speaking over letter writing”
To some how mean Destruction of sola scriptura.

The only Scripture in John’s day was the OT.
Are you naive to not know, sola scriptura is the compilation of Scribes notes, Recorders Script writings and the NT was in process, in John’s day?

Weird.

No one is anti-Mary we honor Mary but as scripture teaches we do not worship her as do idolaters. More revisionist history does not make idolatry ok with God.
Here is the question you are running from.
Mary never wanted glory for herself. Have you ever wondered why anti-Mary Christians like yourself cover up the reformers teachings about Mary???
You have no idea how rude and insulting your baseless charge of idolatry is. You do it automatically without thinking, refuse to be reasoned with, and my guess is you have no clue what the reformers taught about Mary.
Martin Luther invented sola scriptura, and he had a strong devotion to Mary.
I accept truths handed down to me, you accept whatever you choose.

Martin Luther Was Extraordinarily Devoted to Mary

Catholics who know anything are quite aware that:

1. Mary is not God (as there is one God: monotheism).

2. Mary does not save herself (contra Pelagianism).

3. Mary is nothing that God did not grant to her, in grace (Catholics believe in sola gratia every bit as much as Protestants do, even — especially — where Mary is concerned).

4. Mary does not compete with God, but declares His glory, as the “masterpiece” of His creation, just as praise of a masterpiece of art is praise of the painter or sculptor or composer (Catholics don’t view veneration of saints and worship of God as identical, and don’t espouse an “either/or” or zero sum game notion: viz., that veneration of saints somehow detracts from or contradicts the worship of God, and His unique glory and majesty).
Anti-Catholic Caricatures of Catholic Mariology (vs. James Swan)

I suggest you do some reading and find out what your own reformers taught about Mary, and stop trolling with stupid flaming zingers.
