The Virgin Mary was she always so?

I have a life, Randy.

I post elsewhere as well.

Cut me some slack.

After 400+ posts in less than 30 days, I did not realize that you were so busy elsewhere.

My apologies.

Where are these instances of “Only Born” in Luke?

There you go again with the belief that the Holy Spirit dictated to a mindless Luke exactly what words to be used.

If you truely believe this, then why do you choose “Highly Favoured” over “Full of Grace”? after all the Holy Spirit chose to use Kecharitomene which examined fully in the Greek renders it “Full of Grace” instead of the protestant overreaction which resulted in a corrupt interpretation of “highly favoured”.

Joey-

Didn’t the Holy Spirit tell John to write “this is my body” instead of “this represents my body”?

Didn’t the Holy Spirit tell James to write “not by faith alone” instead of “not by mere intellectual assent alone”?

I think a lot of misunderstandings could have been avoided if God had only said what he really meant.

Hope this helps. :tiphat:

But all this is lost on Atemi…

It has taken me a year just to get to my current level. 2300 post at 15 months yields 150 posts per month…

When users have unusual names such as Atemi, I do a google search on the name.

I think Atemi is here to try to** break our balance or resolve** given what Atemi means:

From: wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atemi
Atemi can be complete techniques in and of themselves, but are also often used to briefly break an opponent’s balance or resolve. (For example, this is the predominant usage of atemi in aikido.)

or is he here to try and kill us spiritually?

From newbudo.com/atemi.htm

Atemi strikes are aimed at key areas of the body: nerve endings, arteries running close to bone, organs, sensitive and vulnerable joints like elbows and knees. These strikes can be made with virtually any part of the body, open hand, fist, fingers, elbow, toes, heel, knee, even your head - all are viable tools for attacking an aggressor’s key atemi points.

A brief history
Atemi was developed in Asia thousands of years ago. In China it became known as **dim mak, (death touch) **while the Japanese, called it Atemi; a system of strikes and painful joint holds aimed at one of the central nervous system’s 365 "pressure points
