E.E.N.S.:
How would you know? If you knew nothing about Christ in the first place, and these three books were in front of you - how would you know? Your reasoning has more holes than a strainer…

Ah, but I do know about Christ, so your point is moot. I see by your quote from de Montfort, that perhaps you do not know about him. You see, Mary does not indwell anyone, so you and de Montfort have much to learn, though he knows the truth now; he is dead, isn’t he?
E.E.N.S.:
Not in the least bit upset…I didn’t start out in the Church, I only converted back in 2001. There is some truth to be found outside of the Church for sure, considering it all came from her in the first place…it’s just not the fulness of truth

If the fulness includes the errors you state about Mary, everytime you make a post, you may keep your fulness.

All right, then. You do not believe that Bible is the inspired Word of God; got it!

By your reasoning, anyone can claim to be God’s Vicar on earth, and His true church. Saying so does not make it true.

Thank you, you have proven to me the claims that many make about your religion, and that you deny.

This is absolutely a bogus reply to his comment (I read it, yes) he is saying that a book cannot prove ITSELF inspired, it needs an outside infallible source the say so, which the Catholic Church did - and no one says otherwise. (Except the un educated in this matter that is.) He believes that it IS INDEED inspired, but not because it says so, but because the Church says so. How could it say so if it weren’t even a book yet?! The Church compiled the different writing together and said which were inspired and which were not.

Use your head brother, you stand on shifting sand with that argument…really, just think about it for a moment before you reply.

(I intend to! But I am also trying to share it with my brothers and sisters in Christ…if you don’t open your eyes/heart/mind soon, sandusky, then I am going to “shake the dust from my feet” if you catch my drift.

Quick question…how old are you? I teach teenagers that make more intellegent comments than you do…seriously.

(And St. Louis de Montfort is more alive than you or I, as he is in heaven with our Lord. Saint and Doctor of the Church.)

Is not God an outside, infallible source?

According to your reasoning, then, the church also needs an outside infallible source, which would also need an outside infallible source, which would also need an outside infallible source, and on, and on, and on.

It is much simpler, and faithful, to take God at His Word.

You are hung up on the compilation. Again, God is all-powerful, He superintended the writing, and the compilation; according to God, nothing happens in this world, but by Him.

Yes, but how has God operated? Did He pull His people from Egypt, or did He work through Moses?

Yes, and that source was Christ Himself. (cf. Matt 16:18)

Yes, and that is what the Church is for, to protect His Word. Let the Holy Spirit tell us what the truth is in the way it was intended, through the Church, not through each and every person - else we get chaos, as the reformation (deformation) has so rightly proven.

True, but HOW did He do this? (Through the Church.)
