Anyone that says Jesus is not the Christ is, according to the Bible, an anti-christ. I’d say that person is heretical in teaching, wouldn’t you?

No. The Mormons believe He is the Christ. They just don’t believe in the Trinity like the Apostles taught it. Though, they think they do. Also, a person who believes a heresy is not necessarily teaching one. Most people that embrace heresies are not teachers.

Most people embracing and teaching heresies are not “heretics”, since they never had the True Faith, as passed down to us by the Apostles.

  • The rest I’ll not bother commenting on nor will I read at this time because there really doesn’t seem any way to say what I believe without some destortion (as you’re first question implies a destortion of what I said) or without going round and round and round.

The problem I am having, Doki, is how you can make these claims unless these things are also true. If infant baptism is not from the Apostles, then the disciples departed from the Apostolic Teaching. If they departed, then it seems Jesus was unable to correct them.

It may seem like a distortion to you, but to me, it seems like a logical conclusion.

  • At this time, I’d rather just be your friend and let it be at that. Invite me to go to church with you and I’d love to. Let’s go for a coffee and I’d love to (milk, no cream or sugar - NO fancy coffee either). Let’s go and seek those who don’t know Jesus and tell them about Him. The rest of this stuff is too much for my pea brain to do over and over and over again.

Ok, my brother. May God richly bless you.

Sorry, Kevin - you don’t have a linguistic OR historical leg to stand on.

**Don’t you think the Church has heard these arguments over and over again for over 2000 years? The weight of linguistics, Scriptural history (the Septuagint) and witnesses of the time are against you.

The plain truth is that Ach and Adelphos in the 1st century were already renederd as the same thing - thanks to the Septuagint.

**You lose - rather - your spiritual pride does . . . :rolleyes: **

The Greek word adolphos meaning Brother. It does not mean blood brothers born of the same partents, it was used to descripe 1/2 brothers or stepbrothers, cousin, nephew.
The confusion originates in Hebrew and Aramic, the laungage of the original OT texts and of Christ. In these laugages no special word existed for cousin, so they used the word brother. When the OT was translated into Greek and the NT written in Greek the word Adelphos was used for these meanings. The confusion comes when it was translated into English because of the distinct terms of relatives in Hebrew and Aramaic. So the Greek word Adelphos was used.
The word Adelphos means literally, the sharing of the womb.
Adelphos and Delphus {the womb} a brother, near or remote
The word Adelphos comes from the word womb.
The Greek word for relative sometimes translated cousin is “suggenes.”
Suggenes: A relative, {by blood} By extension, a fellow countryman, cousin , kin.
The CC says there is no Greek word for cousin or relative. The word is suggenes.

And? I do not go to please my husband, I go because that is his choice and I respect him. I worship God whereever I go. If I chose to go else where it would be fine with hubby, I chose to go to church with him.

Well you don’t have a clue why I left the CC. You are just assuming the reasons you gave are correct but you are wrong I have a good grasp of the CC teachings I don’t agree with some of them. Just because I don’t agree with them don’t mean I don’t know them. I am far from Spiritual laziness and I have more faith then you could never imagine. The CC teaches that Mary was ever virgin, that is a bunch of malarki. They teach that they are the true church founded by Jesus himself. I disagree. You claim that Jesus did not have siblings. I believe he did. And so on. I won’t insult you because I’m a better man than that. If you feel the need to then go ahead and show everyone what kind of Catholic the CC put out.

Please remember that Doc Thinks that the Church was started by a Pagan with the name of Constaine

Lets see he was dying and none of his blood brothers were present.

Why would that make a difference?
If Jesus had “blood” brothers, there would be no need for Him to provide for her. It would have been automatic. Only if there where no brothers would than become necessary.

More probably, the sibblings of Jesus still did not believe He was the Messiah so Jesus placed Mary in the hand of someone He trusted, a believer.

Not the first time I heard that explanation. But it doesn’t fly.

This is the season in the NE of USof A for watching them grow. You must either be rich or old to be able to take the time to watch a flower or tree bud.:confused:

Jesus knew that John believed who he was, and his brothers did not believe that he was the Messiah. John was the disciple that Jesus loved. Remember Mary is our mother and we are her children or family. When Jesus said this is you mother, he was saying she is the mother of all, and when he said this is your son, he was saying all are your son’s and daughters. Mary is the mother of all.

Hmmm…

(3*sqrt76.9cubed/1.23e3)+.743-PI! (apple of course)
Click to expand...
I’m trying to figure out what this symbolism means.

Is it 3 times the square root of 76.9 cubed divided by 1.23 x e to the 3rd power plus .743 minus Pi?​

Where e = 2.71828 and pi = 3.141592563?

of course 76.9 could be raised to the 3/2 power​

or is that the sqrt of 3 times 76.9 cubed divided by 1.23 x e to the 3rd power plus .743 minus Pi?
