The bottom line, the visible church struggles with sin and is made up of sheep and goats in great need of the Lord Jesus Christ. We as Christian siblings should proclaim Jesus Chrsit and His gospel to ourselves everyday, and proclaim Jesus Christ and His glorious gospel to each other. Here’s a novel idea for 21st Christianity: “Let’s proclaim Christ to Christians!” so we can all rejoice in the Lord Jesus Christ together!

**Oh – they’re not insults, just observations from a faithful Catholic who cannot abide false teaching:
Proverbs 25:18** - Like a club or a sword or a sharp arrow is the man who gives false testimony against his neighbour.**
**Proverbs 14:5 **- A truthful witness does not deceive, but a false witness pours out lies.
Proverbs 19:5** - A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who pours out lies will not go free.**

No, you’ll ignore me because I pose questions to you that you can’t answer.
You STILL have yet to prove this false idea of an “invisible Church”.
As for your accusation of my being “unchrist-like”, Scripture calls on me too judge rightly – and it appears that I have.

Wow. I didn’t know that, elvis!
That does indeed put a little bit of a wrinkle into some anti-Mary Calvinists’ theology, doesn’t it!
Could someone please answer my questions above?

Boy Adam, you sure have changed over the past few weeks. You came here under the idea of promoting ecumenism and have degraded to unwarranted personal attacks. Why are you so angry? Is it not possible to answer peoples questions without the hostility?

Yup - it’s all a matter of history - for the ones who aren’t afraid to study it . . .Wow. I didn’t know that, elvis!

I encourage you to use the search feature above for Immaculate Conception and/or Mary or you could create a thread. While Mary is an important issue for all Christians, this isn’t the thread topic and Adam has used this to distract from his explanation of the Centurion, mainly how his exegesis reveals the anti-Catholicism in it:

Well, I think Christians should come to support Tweetymom when she is attacked. We need to put the wisdom of 1 Cor 13 first and foremost in our debates. Apologetics will end up inflaming the flesh that remains in all of us if we lose focus that apologetics should be done as an act of worship.

It is curious how Adam feels we are un Christ like when we evaluate ones beliefs but he is doing the same thing to ALL of us. Food for thought!

Your statement is VERY telling because you begin with, “For me . . .” or “I believe . . .”
It is abundantly clear that you make up your own rules as you do.
As for Mary’s sinlessness - one ancient analogy used by the Early Church about Mary’s Immaculate Conception is this:
God saves us out of the mud of sin, whereas Mary was saved before she was able to fall into the puddle in the first place.

When Tweeymom stops misrepresenting the Church she will no longer be admonished. However, Scripture requires me to admonish those who do wrong. It is an act of love.

Adam, I’m waiting for your exegesis of the Centurion.

I definitely believe in the virgin birth, scripture clearly says it.
immaculate conception? I disagree based on scripture
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
You’re saying Jesus justified her before she had anything she needed to be justified a.k.a SIN
which according to Scripture doesn’t hold up.
perpetual virginity? I haven’t found scriptures that would lead me to dogmatically accept or reject this view but I’m inclined to believe she remained a virgin.
P.S. Calvin didn’t believe in the immaculate conception from what I’ve read about… if you have sources that show otherwise please do share.

I think he attributes the un-Christ likeness in how you approach the individual in which you evaluate…imo

Guan is the one who wanted to disscuss Cornelius. I’m not sure what he wants to discuss about it, but I gave him a reference to the entire account in which we can discuss. We can also include the other Centurion account with Jesus who had great faith. I really don’t know what Guan wants to discuss about the two Centurions, because when you go through Acts 10 through 11, it really refutes quite a bit of Catholic theology. So, let’s wait for Guan to lead us through the two Centurions, okay?
