    Mary

    Eve was the first to be attacked by Satan. Ever since Eve fell mankind (Eve's offspring) has been adversaries of Satan. But there is a specific offspring (Christ) who will "bruise satan's head". Christ is the one who makes all things new and restores people and eventually all of creation...

    Mother of our salvation

    The Bible tells us plainly what those things He did for Mary are. There is no need to add things to that list that the Bible doesn't clearly say. There is no need to say she is more than the Bible teaches. Why? why did she have to not have original sin? Jesus is God, Sin cannot stain...

    Mary

    Yes, Eve was first. Eve was the first Adversary of Satan and we all have been adversaries ever since.

    Mary

    We are all the adversary of Satan. He is out to destroy all of mankind and keep people out of the Kingdom of God. The problem is that only those who have come to Christ truly understand that fact. Satan is destroying lives and most people don't even realize it.

    Mother of our salvation

    He has done great things for me as well. As a matter of fact, He has done great things for all who have placed their faith in Him.

    Mary

    Doesn't matter. The verse isn't about the woman it is about the offspring I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring[a] and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel. Gen 3:15 ESV This is about the HE (Christ). The woman...

    Mother of our salvation

    “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    So you are good with Sexual imagery being about Mary? That is ironic sense you don't believe she had sex. Agreed, all who are In Christ are Temples of the Holy Spirit who lives and dwells in us. We are all consecrated and set apart for worship and to do the work of God.

    Mother of Christians

    This is something I think many of us have a hard time with. Jesus was God before He ever became a man. That is why the term, "Mary the mother of God" is a little misleading. Christ was God before He was born to Mary. Mary was the mother of human Jesus who was already fully God. Mary was not...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Then I guess no Christians can have normal marriage relations and have children. The Holy Spirit enters into and lives in all Christians. It is the Holy Spirit who conceives our new Birth and makes us alive in Christ. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Thank you for proving my point. It is easy to take a single verse out of scripture and make it say what you want it to say. Song of Solomon has nothing to do with Mary. SOS 4 in the husband longing for physical intimacy with his bride. 4:12 is about the exclusiveness of her love and desire...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Psalm 69:8 I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's sons.

    Anyone can say that. It is still opinion.

    Sacraments

    R.C. Sproul said Catholic theology is actually Faith+Works=Salvation Reformed Theology is Faith=Salvation+Works In other words, Catholics do things (Works of love, obedience, sacraments...) in order to be saved While non-Catholic Christians believe we are saved by faith and do the works we...

    Purgatory

    Ya, just like Luther didn't follow his Pope.

    Purgatory

    You said you only follow "valid" bishops. Therefore, you are rejecting any that you don't think are valid...

    Purgatory

    because of your opinion you are rejecting ordained priest, bishops, and popes and their teachings. How is that any different than what Luther did?

    If I may, I would like to suggest a book for you. My wife has been going through this book with a group of women from our church and she says it has been transformative in her approach to Bible study and understanding. Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with both our Hearts and our Minds
