Yes God is constantly looking for His lost sheep BUT He relies on them not struggling once He’s found them. They have to be resigned to having the crook around their neck and being led to safety. We do have complete freedom, but you make it sound as if God is automatically in complete control of our lives which I don’t believe is so. We have to surrender, mainly through prayer to His son Jesus, “The way the truth and the life”.

The Bible says there is none perfect - no not one. Mary was born of man from the sin nature in each one from Adam and Eve, so she had a sin nature. Jesus was born of her but did not take sin from her - He was supernaturally born of the Spirit implanted in her.

Sapa - you have absolutely no idea what you are saying LOL

How could our Lord be born of Mary, and not truly be One Flesh with Mary?

Did God the Father wrap Jesus in saran wrap? Is that what prevented Him from taking her sin nature?

If Jesus was one flesh with Mary, and truly drew his human nature from her, then perhaps there is another explanation. One you SHOULD have been taught before you turned away from the holy, catholic, apostolic Church.

Was Eve born with a sin nature? No, she was not. She acquired death through her own consent. She was born without sin. But was she a goddess? Of course not.

Could God not create Eve again, and this time, instead of bringing us death, could the New Eve not bring us life?

This is why Mary is human, not a goddess, and yet without sin.

You may not worship Mary, but you do pray to her. Where in the Bible does it say to pray to Mary or the other saints? You have taken the teaching of your church over the Word of God and that is the problem. A church is man made and man in fallible, but the Word of God is not.

How do you know for certain the Bible is the EXACT word of God other than your belief that it is? That is just fine. But I believe the Bible was INSPIRED by God, but written by hu/mans. And we hu/mans are notorious for making mistakes and mis-interpretations. 🙂 Peace.

I’m down to 327.3 a day on average… Not that I’m counting. 😉 My wife would probably round that up to an even 1000 however. 😉

Might as well keep them to a round number. Easier to keep track of. I count mine by hundreds, 100, 200 etc. and that is before breakfast. 👍 Peace.

Either you’re saying I don’t walk by faith.

Or you’re saying the Holy Spirit has not guided in interpreting His word?

Or you’re saying I don’t look for God.

Or you’re saying I’m a lost sheep?

Or all the above? I’m somewhat lost, please help me. Just say what you want to say. I can handle it, trust me. 😉

i never said you, i said we. and i have been taught when your pointing a finger at someone else, there will be three more pointing back at you. so if you feel like i am putting you down, please forgive me, there is no intention in it. and no, i cannot trust you , i can’t even trust myself. there is only one whom i can trust and that is christ jesus. so what is it you seek from your religion? i’m curious why it would be so different from mine.

Eschato;3499036:
The Transfiguration was JESUS and that was for the apostles. Jesus going into heaven is for our benefit but not Mary. God sends messengers (his angels) to do his bidding and to carry out his Word. Be careful saying Mary or the saints can appear. Don;'t think so.

God is all powerful but Satan is here too and he is a deceiver so he can appear as an angel of light so we are to test the spirits whether they are of God.

Yes, the Transfiguration was Jesus… and Elijah… and Moses. Saint Gabriel delivers messages many times in the New Testament. Saints can appear because God sends them. I don’t know how many times you are going to say “test the spirits” but I assure you that the point has been brought up in this thread before and everyone seems to be in agreement on that.

could you not tell the difference of someone serving their religion and someone serving the lord? i’m not here to lead you for if i could, i would be able to lead myself. and that we know would be the blind leading the blind. but jesus did say to follow him, so go to him . just get alone with god and ask him to be your teacher. he’ll let you know.

That’s interesting, but those two sets of verses have nothing in common, and neither one of them talks about not serving their religion.

Serving Jesus is a religion, it is called Catholicism.

See, you screwed up by admitting you were lost. Batten down the hatches!
 
We should revert back to apparition talks, and then someone should open a “proselytize Catholics here” thread…
So, anyone know where the Blessed Virgin is appearing today?
 
John 5:39-40

You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.

In other words, you are a Pharisee who substitutes intellectual knoweledge and religion for a true relationship with the person of Jesus.

I am not aware what you have done to convince meandean that this is true about you, or how it is he has such discernment about your heart. Perhaps his pastor told him that this would apply to all Catholics so he assumes it? Or perhaps he read that no Catholics really have a personal relationship with Jesus on a John MacArthur website?
 
Hi Honeysuckle,
Code: 
 Supporting your posting at the top of the page: “In 1470, Pope Sixtus IV instituted the feast (December 8) of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary.  In 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed that the most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."

 I believe that the reasoning was that Mary must have been in an Immaculate condition to contain Jesus.
God Bless

They have a website for that now? I thought that it was common knowledge.
