mary guides him so he cant go wrongThis is good advice for you to follow.
that is the most important thing to them catholic
Sooooooo, where does 2 Thess. 2:15 say that everything The Apostles taught will eventually be written down in Scripture??
Answer: It DOESN’T.
2 Thess 2:15
"Stand firm and hold fast to the Traditions you were taught, either by an ORAL STATEMENT or by a letter from us."NO mention of an expiration date.
no body denies the virgin mary was saved .........but her sanctification was" NOT " complete. that is a fable of the catholic Church. she was/is a human being chosen by God to bring in the Christ seedAgreed.
Because she is Kecharitomene at the Angel’s greeting - Mary’s sanctification was complete.
To be endowed with grace is ONE thing. You might say that your glass is being filled throughout your lifetime.
Mary is said to be full of grace – perfectly and completely. Therefore, her glass is FULL.
Since the Bible teaches that Mary’s glass is FULL – the endowment of grace has been completed.
1. The Scriptures teach that we are saved by God’s grace.
2. Therefore, to be “full of grace”, is to be saved.
3. Since she is “full of grace”, Mary is saved (Luke 1:28).
4. The Bible teaches that we need God’s grace to be holy and live a life free from sin.
5. Hence, to be “full of grace” is to be so holy that one is sinless.
6. So, Mary is holy and sinless.
Now that we've established her sinlessness - how about addressing post #1213 and Mary's role as Ark of the New Covenant??
Finally, as to redemption and our choosing to follow Christ – WHY does that require “double payment” for some sins??
SHE HAS/HAD no other role other than being the mother of Jesus quit worshiping her { It is explicitly taught by Scripture that Mary gave birth to the New Covenant, Jesus. Therefore, Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant – the fulfillment of the Ark of the Covenant. Here is a Scriptural comparison of the Type and Fulfillment between the Old Ark and the New Ark:}Now that we've established her sinlessness - how about addressing post #1213 and Mary's role as Ark of the New Covenant??
gessh i have never read so much garbage in these scriptures i will PROVE YOUR ERRORIt is explicitly taught by Scripture that Mary gave birth to the New Covenant, Jesus. Therefore, Mary is the Ark of the New Covenant – the fulfillment of the Ark of the Covenant. Here is a Scriptural comparison of the Type and Fulfillment between the Old Ark and the New Ark:
OT - The Word was written by God on Tablets of Stone (Ex. 25:10) placed inside the Ark (Deut. 10:1)
NT - The Word of God became Flesh (John 1) conceived inside Mary (Luke 2:38) Mary carried the Word of God.
OT - "Who am I that the Ark of my Lord should come to me?" (2 Sam. 6:9
NT - "Who am I that the mother of my Lord should come to me?" (Luke 1:43)
OT - The When the Ark carrying the Word of God returned “David was leaping and dancing before the Lord” (2 Sam. 6:14)
NT - When Mary came into Elizabeth's presence carrying the word of God, the baby “leaped for joy” in Elizabeth's womb (Luke 2:38)
OT - The Ark carrying the Word of God is brought to the house of Obed-Edom in the hill country if Judea for 3 months, where it was a blessing. (2 Sam. 6:11)
NT - Mary (the new Ark) carrying the Word of God goes to Elizabeth's house in the hill country if Judea for 3 months, where she is a blessing (Luke 1:56)
OT - The Ark is captured (1 Sam 4:11) and brought to a foreign land and later returns (1 Sam 6:13)
NT - Mary (the new Ark) is exiled to a foreign land (Egypt) and later returns (Matt. 2:14)
OT - The On the Day of the Dedication of the Temple which Solomon built, there were 120 priests present (2 Chron. 5:11). The Ark of the covenant was carried into the Temple (2 Chron. 5:7) and fire came down from Heaven to consume the burnt offering (2 Chron. 7:7).
NT - The On the Day of Pentecost, there were 120 disciples of Jesus present in the Upper Room (Acts 1:15). Mary, the Mother of Jesus and the Ark of the NEW Covenant was also present while the Holy Spirit came down as tongues of fire (Acts 2:3).
The Ark of the Covenant was purified and blessed inside and out when it was created.
It is fitting that the Ark of the NEW Covenant would ALSO be purified and blessed during her creation.
The Angel’s greeting of “Kecharitomene” supports this position.
"Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions." - G.K. Chesterton
Exposing anti-Catholic lies online for 16 years . .
Because she is Kecharitomene at the Angel’s greeting - Mary’s sanctification was complete.
more of HIS FALSE DOCTRINE. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.You Attempt to DEFINE "the MOMENT" that the Lord Bestowed His Favor and Grace and Blessing UPON Mary.
You perpetuate that Gods Favor and Grace was UPON Mary, at her NATURAL Birth.
every thing with catholic teaching is a work based salvation something you have to do if you could have found where mary was buried you would have found her body . the tomb where jesus was laid is empty in the words of Christ i give these same words to BOL let no man deceive you . could it just maybe be we are showing you the correct doctrine .that Catholicism is wrong see its not the name over the door that matters its the name in the heart that does . your name tag will either fall off going up or burn off going downWhen you observe from the Facts...
1) God Observes mankind.
2) God Finds Grace in mankind.
3) God Favors those who follow Him.
4) God has Angel Messengers.
5) God sends His Messengers to Inform people of a Paticular mission God wants the person to accomplish.
6) The Messenger, reports to the person, that God has recognized them, of Their following, of His favor, and BY His Grace has Blessings, to Bestow Upon them, should they Agree to accomplish His Task.
7) Also, that the Lord WILL be with Them, to Accomplish the Task.
Others, BEFORE Mary, were Approached; Notified of God having Observed them, Notified of a Task God desires accomplished,
Notified the Lord would be With them.
Notified they would Be Blessed By and through the Lords Grace upon them.
You Attempt to DEFINE "the MOMENT" that the Lord Bestowed His Favor and Grace and Blessing UPON Mary.
You perpetuate that Gods Favor and Grace was UPON Mary, at her NATURAL Birth.
You Further perpetuate that Gods Favor and Grace MEANS, Giving the person the Gift of Salvation resulting IN "that person having been Given SINLESSNESS while ALIVE in their Natural BODY".
Nothing IN Scripture reveals, THAT Natural Born humans, ARE Naturally Born...
With a Saved soul,
With a Quickened spirit,
Or Without sin.
Scripture Reveals:
ALL humans are naturally BORN "IN" SiN.
ALL humans require A DEATH, BEFORE a posibility of "SINLESSNESS" of their BODY can be realized.
Scripture has BEEN Revealing from the Beginning of mankind....
1) HOW mankind can BECOME in Gods Favor
2) HOW mankind can BECOME in Gods Grace
3) HOW mankind can BECOME Blessed.
4) HOW mankind can Accomplish things (according to His desires) FOR the Lord God.
Scripture has BEEN Revealing FOR 2,000+ years...
1) That men CAN be Forgiven for disbelief.
2) That men CAN (satisfy Gods Requirement of a mans Bodily Death) and GIVE their Body's unto DEATH, (while remaining alive in their Body).
3) That men CAN receive Gods Gift of a Restored (saved) soul.
4) That men CAN receive Gods Gift of a Quickened spirit (IN their Heart), WiTH His SEED.
Scripture reveals...
1) THAT ^ teaching was TAUGHT BY Jesus.
2) And Forward taught to men BY Jesus' chosen Disciples.
3) THAT....
WHILE the TEACHING IS TRUE...
THE "EFFECTS" and "COMING to PASS"...
OF the PROMISE...--->
Would NOT OCCUR...---->
UNTIL JESUS LEFT the Earth.
And THE "EFFECTS" and "COMING TO PASS"..."OF" "FRUITION"...--->
Would NOT OCCUR...
UNTIL JESUS once Again "LEFT HEAVEN".
Greek interpretation of Scripture revealed Godly men Recognized God having Chosen Mary for a VERY SPECIAL Task...(Just as men Recognized Others (ie Moses, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Disciples, Paul, and others )
OF Mary's Gift of Gods Favor Upon Mary, of Gods Grace Upon Mary, of Gods Blessings Upon, of God being WITH her...
But STILL...NO man Received the "INDWELLING" Spirit UNTIL Jesus "LEFT" the Earth.
And...NO earthly person's BODY has been "RAISED" UP in Glory...WHICH "WILL BE" the DAY WHEN...Coming to pass...
THAT...the individual earthly man's BODY IS come to pass and ACCOMPLISHED...sinless.
You teaching That was accomplished in Mary, at her Natural Birth, IS NOT TAUGHT IN SCRIPTURE.
You CAN BELIEVE IT...but it doesn't MAKE it TRUE.
It is Clear, by your own Admission...You were Taught Catholicism, By Catholics, from a VERY Young Age...and Your teaching IS Catholic Doctrine....that You Claim, your Church Leaders HAVE the Authority to Dictate.
Sure THEY DO...it is "THEIR" established Church. Just like every other Church "MEN" establish, they too Dictate their own Standards of Beliefs.
The KEY ito Establishing Churches, IS THAT THEY stay within the Confines and Limits of Jesus' Doctrine.
Not ONCE DID Jesus Teach, or Jesus' Chosen Jewish Disciples Teach...
Mary or Any other Human, IS Sinless.

I SAY (because I am just passing time and find you very entertaining, like a paper plate court jester ):
What is your recognition of the mother of Christ?
With clear concise words, what are you saying about the mother of Christ?
what is your doctrine and personal conviction?

I say:
So.... it is clear that BEFORE Christ came you do not believe any human was sinless?
What I notice , which is evident with any coward ,
you only challenge and come up against what you know you can fight . However, you have not DARED to challenge me.
I could see how you would avoid all my post and questions ,
because you will loose. I am not saying any in here would accept what I say, but clearly, no one could win in a war of words with me. I mean after all one would be fighting against the Word of God and who could win against His word?
What I have learned in here is, people really do not even believe in God.
People are going to get EXACTLY what they have asked for.
WRONG. I’ve provided scholarly evidence about FIVE times now.You still have to prove that the word says what you claim, you have yet to meet that burden of proof.
Without basis?? That’s a lie.That is what the Catholic church says without basis.
That is absolutely false. I went step-by-step in showing that Mary was sinless.We have not established sinlessness at all.
Jesus DID live a perfect life - and He IS human AND God.HUMANS don't live a perfect Life.
HUMANS Require a Savior to Become PERFECT-ED.
Jesus Did NOT require a Savior.
Gods ONLY Begotten Son WAS NOT a HUMAN.
God IS Spirit.
The Son of God IS Spirit.
Spirit IS the POWER of God.
Are you completely Unaware, God has the POWER to "APPEAR" in the Likeness AS His own Created Angels and own Created earthy men?
Do you seriously think God "changes" INTO His own Created Angels or His own Created earthly men?
Scripture Clearly informs you...
God DOES NOT CHANGE.
It is earthy people God is INFORMING, HOW TO "Change".
And IF and WHEN an earthy man "changes", he DOES NOT BECOME God...any more than God BECOMES Created man.

WRONG.Really? A Pew-filler. Pfft!
He is called a Christian, and it hinges on following the Word, but not have committed to the word.

Not sure what you mean - but there is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15 . . .Do you have scriptures? YES , how else would there be ANY assemblies? As for obedience to themwell....THAT IS ANOTHER THING.
And I provided scholarly evidence that rejects your position. There is more that rejects your position than affirms it. And none of your sources were well-known reputable sources.WRONG. I’ve provided scholarly evidence about FIVE times now.
Your rejection of this evidence is YOUR problem – not mine.
You have shown me what they claim but now actual scriptural linguistic or historical basis.Without basis?? That’s a lie.
I say “LIE” because you’ve already been shown this basis several times now.
Correct ^^
Established as your MO, to: Not reveal ONE Scripture that is in Disagreement with what I said...BUT RATHER choose to make some irrelevant snarky remark.
I NEVER claimed Christ has a mother.
Mary was chosen to REVEAL JESUS, Son of God, and care for Him through His youth.
I have already revealed my Doctrine and Personal Conviction on this forum.
You said you KNEW me, so why ask me?
Correct.
"Correct".
Again, your snarky accusation MO shines as your light.
You were challenged, early on during the first times of conversing with you.
Twice you were asked to QUOTE my specific words that SET YOU OFF on a snarky accusatory mission against me.
Twice you FAILED to identify what I said that got you so bent out of shape.
But I have not avoided all your posts and questions, so that would be your lie.
NEWSFLASH you are not the Word of God, nor does your words reflect the Word of God.
Big of you to share your infantile opinion.
IF you Understood the Word of God; IT IS a Persons DENIAL of God, that reveals they do not Believe IN GOD....(not your infantile opinion).
NO ONE on the Christian Threads are DENYING God.
Again your opinion Fails.
Including you, and your implying you are set higher than others.
Glory to God, <--- IS My closing STILL OFFENSIVE TO YOU? Pfft... too bad!

Now you make up things. Never questioned Thessalonians only you and worldly men!Not sure what you mean - but there is NO expiration date on 2 Thess. 2:15 . . .
