Nonsense, even you have willingly separated yourself from your church in protest from what you see as abuses - a modern Protestant.

I disagree, it is beholden on you to prove why the scripture does not mean the plain reading. Satan had pride, and Mary humility, but it still does not imply that the verse is about Mary at all; plainly read it is about Eve and Eve's children. It is easy enough to read Jesus and Mary into the...

Or the "future" of the second after God commands it; or even the future of Eve's children, the "future" does not have to be decades or centuries later.

Given her a son. given the world salvation, brought the Messiah to the Jewish people, and certainly much more to both Mary and all of Israel and all of us. Still nothing about her immaculate conception.

Luke 1:49 says nothing about any "immaculate conception", nor does the rest of the Mary's Song.

No, it really is not about Mary. Taking things out of context to fit a Doctrine or Dogma only weakens an argument and makes further statements suspect.

Because there is not any scriptural evidence that she did. There is a Tradition that she did, but that is not what the other member is arguing. He would do better to admit this and argue for Tradition being sacred, but there is no scriptural evidence that she did, on the contrary, the scriptures...

Scientology is really wacky, a true cult. I live near their Clearwater Fl. main campus, and it is always odd to go over there. They own a large percentage of the land in downtown Clearwater, and their dominance is not good for the community. They have updated and replaced a lot of the buildings...

I had some stomach issues, but they were very minor. I had the J&J and then the Moderna booster, the same issue with both of them. My brother had the Moderna, but the first shot gave him a rash across his body from the neck down that took about a week to go away and was crazy itchy, he did not...

Well, that answers a lot. Look, you seem like a zealous person, and I commend you for that. But it is rather hypocritical to hold that the Roman Catholic Church cannot be without error in all that it teaches, but then also hold that the current pontiff is in fact in error, and that the current...

Which you are not in submission to if you are self declared to be "not a modernist ccc catholic".

^^^ This. Not even the RCC makes these extreme claims any longer. From the Catechism:

Literally none of that answered my question: And exactly how does having relations after Jesus was born affect the "truth that he was both fully God and fully man"?

You first: Literally no one here is saying Mary was not a virgin when Jesus was born. They are not questioning her virginal motherhood. And exactly how does having relations after Jesus was born affect the "truth that he was both fully God and fully man"?

Again, neither of them rise to the level of "Pope" or magisterium. The Smalcald Articles may hold it as an article, but not all Lutherans are Confessional, and even Confessional Lutherans do not hold the Confessions as something that is infallible. Further, you misunderstand the purpose of the...

Oh, he is not misleading me, I understand his position clearly as I once held it just as zealously. But over time and with looking at scripture through a different lens, one not under the auspices of the Magisterium, I have come to the conclusion that it is certainly not in scripture as clearly...

Sorry, while I hold the Reformers in very, very high regard and with the upmost respect, they do not speak infallibly and I disagree with them on this matter. Further, they did not, and you did not via their quotes, use scripture to support the doctrine. You are certainly free to believe it, as...

Literally no one here is saying Mary was not a virgin when Jesus was born. They are not questioning her virginal motherhood. And exactly how does having relations after Jesus was born affect the "truth that he was both fully God and fully man"?

I think there is a lot wrong with his theology when it is looked at closer, and if he does not accept the Apocrypha that is probably the least of his issues, and if so is one of his more orthodox views.

Once while traveling on a package tour the agency chartered a plane because the tour was part of a larger group heading to Europe together. The airline was "World Airlines", they do (or did) a lot of charter for the military. The service was abysmal. While handing out bread rolls from a large...
