Maybe the “catholic god” and his mom, but not the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob: Genesis 1, John 1 and Acts 2.

This is but one God, in three divine forms, known by many names. My God is your God, the only difference is I belong to his Church and you belong to a sect that has long since strayed from the true Church.

The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob: Genesis 1, John 1 and Acts 2 is who Goth_Catholic is talking about. 👍

God Bless!!!

No more so than the belief that Enoch or Elijah were taken up bodily into heaven makes THEM equal to God.

The objection I have to the Assumption is not so much that some people believe in it but that it’s proclaimed as dogma, i.e., something that MUST believed, when support for it in scripture is pretty flimsy.

Mary is not equal to God, and the Catholic Church does not proclaim that to be so. Never has.

The Assumption of Mary into heaven is supported by Revelation 12, which describes the woman clothed with the sun, the woman who is the mother of the male child who will be the ruler of all things.

Rather than the Assumption being off-putting to Christians, it should be a source of certainty and hope. All Christians agree on the resurrection of Christ from the dead, and hope for their own eternal life in heaven. Mary, being the first Christian, surely lives eternally with her Son. Jesus would have kept the Commandments perfectly, including the one about honoring His Father and mother. He would bring His mother to eternal life when she died, fulfilling the offer made to all mankind: to be with Him forever. It’s not hard to imagine that He might have loved His mother enough to grant her the privilege of having her glorified body in Heaven. All of us will enjoy the same one day (bodily resurrection), if heaven is our destination. His mother was simply granted this privilege first, before the rest of us.

This teaching is binding dogma for Catholics, just as the resurrection of Jesus is binding dogma. The Church promulgates these dogmas so they can never be changed, diluted or lost. They are essential to our understanding of not only history, but of our own ultimate reality. The Assumption matters not only because it happened to Mary, but because it assures us of God’s merciful intentions toward us.

Happy Mother’s Day to all, especially to the Mother of Jesus who is the Mother of all Christians. 🙂
 
  1. When Christ ascended He left behind a Church.
  2. The sacramental life of His Church continues to actualize His presence.
  3. Scripture is the written tradition of the already established Church community.
  4. And the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
I guess I goofed all the way around. I said four things and I’m Catholic. Sorry, my bad:D …teachccd

  1. It’s anti-Scriptual. Your denomination’s “rules” say that if your tradition contradicts Scripture then Scripture “rules”…
Click to expand...
You don’t know what you are talking about. Sacred Tradition is from the Lord Jesus Himself and He is incapable of contradicting Himself.

  1. It’s anti-Christ. Matthew 4:10
Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”

Catholics worship the Lord Jesus alone. No matter what you say or think.
 
kujo313 said:
You’ll have to include your denomination to that list, too. Claiming to be THE true church of Jesus Christ yet, there are those who are “Maryologists” others who DO worship other people in and out of the Bible and build shrines to them.
The RCC lists all other denomintations as false yet parts of the RCC, itself are anti-Scripture and anti-Christ.
Click to expand...
Which part of the Catholic Church’s teachings are anti-Scripture and anti-Christ? You can’t just make false accusations and not make an explanation to your theories.
kujo313 said:
Sure, the gates of Hell will not prevail against the TRUE Church, but it’s not found in any one denomination including the RCC.

So are you saying that there is no TRUE Church? Which other church has prevailed against the enemy for 2000+ years?

OOps I guess I hit the button without a message. I repent.

:Co 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
1Co 1:11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
1Co 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ.
1Co 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

God is Good.

Dont you know that by quoting the CCC is the SAME as quoting Joseph Smith, Mohammad, Jim Jones, David Koresh and other people who claim to be THE “church” and lead God’s people astray?
Click to expand...
The difference my friend, is that the CCC is based on Sacred Tradition which is from Christ Himself. The Church leads us to the fullness of Truth while false prophets do not. You are in absolute error to claim that the Church will lead us astray. Totally the contrary, the Catholic Church has maintained steadfast in the Faith in our Lord despite outside influences.

So the Protestants fought Arianism in the fourth century?? I didn’t know this…:confused:
Click to expand...
Forgive me for being a little dense… you know how us protestants can be! :rolleyes: 😉 But what does this have to do with my comment that you quoted? Is it just that one time when Arianism was fought that Satan tried to squash Christ’s Church??? :confused:

  1. We are forbidden to receive any other doctrine other than that which the apostles gave us and sealed with their testimony. To do otherwise would make me accursed.
    Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Sacred Tradition is given to us by the Apotles which were handed down to them by our Lord Jesus. The Church proclaims the living Gospel through Scripture and Tradition. The living Gospel proclaimed by the Church is non other than that given to us by Jesus.

Please recognize the difference between tradions of men and Sacred Tradition. They are two different things entirely.
 
If Man can set-up: Structure,Hierarchy and Protections for his Governments, why couldn’t Jesus do the same with the Catholic Church.:confused:
