Not at all. The Church gives us the authentic traditions of the Apotles through which we are to look at the scirptures. Protestantism gives us each persons likes and dislikes through which to view Protestantism.
What exactly are these “authentic traditions of the Apotles”? Can you give a couple of specific examples?
Its doctrine that uses the Scriptures to support what you think the Scriptures mean?
What are some of these guidlines? Can you give some examples?
How about the inspiration and canonicity of the books of the Bible.
The apostles did not have anything to do with this in the sense of determining the canon.
That the Holy Scriptures are not to be separated from the Authoritative Teaching of those who produced it.
No. It is the world view of Jesus, taught through the Apostles, that helps us to understand what they meant when they wrote the NT.
The same ones you have been given. That the Holy Scripture is not to be separated from those to whom Jesus gave the Authority to teach the Gospel.
We have received the Apostles “ways”. They believed in the communion of saints, and that death could not separate those who are in Christ. We can ask anyone in Christ for prayer, this side of the veil, or the other.
On the contrary, they have everything to do with it. The Apostles passed on everything that Jesus wanted the Church to know. It was by these TEachings that the books that belonged in the Bible were recognized. It was by their authority that they passed on to their successors that the decision was made.
The doctrines of the sacraments, apostilic tradition, the exultation of Mary, the inerrancy of the scirptures, the liturgy, etc etc etc.
"Honor thy father and thy mother, which is “the first commandment with promise”.Ephesians 6.2 says that.

subtract from the atonement those things which are patently there.
who are “spinning,” you see…
Those were the ones that I thought of, right off, too. 
:yup:Not only that, they were interceding for the Church the whole time.
Here is the defintion of what sacrament means --Sacraments are outward signs of inward grace, instituted by Christ for our sanctification.
Still trying to understand exactly what this is.
The apostles never mention her in the ways the Catholic church does. Where do we find in the writings of the apostles titles like this given to Mary?
Off topic. Are you getting upset again? Why are you trying to derail the thread?
It would do more good to master the basics first.
We have them preserved in the prayers that are part of the Sacred Tradition. However, ja4, the Church does not require that you pray them, so can you not go on your way, praying prayers that do not hinder you? Why concern yourself over the private devotions of others?
I am familiar with your objections to the term “queen of heaven”. What about “mirror of justice”. Do you not think that Christ is the fulfillment of God’s justice? Do you not think that Mary reflects that?
The HS is referred to as Wisdom. When the HS overshadowed Mary, she became His “seat”.
Don’t you think that Elisabeth was full of joy to have Mary visit?
Would you not agree that Mary is a vessel unto God? Do you not agree that she was impregnated spiritually by God?
I know for sure you consider it a great honor for Mary to bear in her womb the King of Kings. You have said as much before.
I am sure you have a hard time with this, since you reject the Apostolic Teaching that her devotion to God was singular. You seem to believe that, after becoming the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, she then became intimate later with Joseph.
Can it be said these titles given to Mary are part of Sacred Tradition?
No, they are private revelations and devotions, which is why they are not binding on the faithful. They are not contradictory with the Apostolic Teachings. The prayers and devotions of the Apostles are what is part of Sacred Traditoin.
**I do not apologize for saying that I pray TO Mary and WITH Mary as well as WITH the entire Communion of Saints.
No, these are part of devotional life.
beloved Virgin Mother. 
sad, to try to live without a mother to intercede with her prayers… Very, very:crying: sad.I think you have hit the nail on the head here. I think those who react so negatively of Jesus’ gift to us of His own mother do so because there are unhealed wounds related to an earthly mother. These wounds make it difficult or impossible to access the love that is poured out from her heart to us.No, these are part of devotional life.
They are beautiful ways to speak to our
The electric power is off at my house; I am at the library. I fell asleep last night, repeating all the names for Mary that I could remember from heart:
Our Lady of Prompt Succor, pray for us.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us.
Our Lady of Guadelupe, pray for us.
I could almost feel that I was a little girl again, crawling into my mother’s bed, and:heaven: snuggling up while she prayed.
Y’all are going to have to do better than sarcasm, better than half-truths mixed with anger, before you ever convince us here, that the Blessed Virgin Mary is anything but the best mother of all, and the greatest prayer warrior of all time.
Mother of Christ, pray for us.
Mother of us, pray for us.
Mother conceived without original sin, pray for us.
Very
