    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    But they were not praying for us, the prayers offered were ours. In the NT, even the Pauline epistles alone show reference to the saints as us. Romans 8:26: "Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    I could reconcile the churches positions easier, if declarations were not made: changing the prerequisites of belief for salvation. I only wish more would take to this sentiment you have shown.

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I agree there are examples of people praying on earth for others, as to in heaven - I have yet to see a valid basis for this. Unless I could find a firm scriptural support for that position, I will remain overly cautious. This is nothing against those who do, yet my conscience would bear witness...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    I don't feel you really addressed my post. Most of what you said in fact agrees with what I said. This would have sufficed, as it is virtually what I said. And what if conviction is a delusion that leads to judgment? I can be convinced I am in the right, yet this has no bearing on the...

    Necessity and sufficiency in relation to salvation.

    What about the specifics - what must we believe? Is this different for a Catholic and Protestant?

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I'm not entirely sure the different beliefs qualify as Mariology abuse. Admittedly we have some go to the extremes; individual problems of course. I have spoken out before of people discussing Mary in crude terms, like some science project. There is no excuse for people not to show a level of...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    What has salvation got to do with healing? Is that cow in heaven? If we are using the Word of God as our benchmark, then it becomes clear people of faith - are not all healed. Now thinking those who are not healed lack faith is using as you named it - carnal evidence. Since these views are...

    BEST WAY TO COOK .... <insert single item here>

    Oops, I didn't even consider others! :) They are equally tasty cooked in a little stock, chicken I like best.

    BEST WAY TO COOK .... <insert single item here>

    One of my favourite and simplest ways of cooking peas is sauteing in a little butter - adding mint if you're feeling flush.

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    But the rationale doesn't fit. This is why I didn't feel the statement of temptation as only from what we love the most was fair or accurate. Many sins people hate passionately, yet they commit them. I am not speaking of direct sins. I feel we have plenty to support this, poor old Paul did often...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    This isn't about specific sins, the goal posts were moved a while back for some reason. We were speaking about healing apparently being kept from sinners. It is all too easy to fall into sin: falsely accusing another, which we see routinely, these are judgments - sinful ones at that. I have yet...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    It's not always as clear cut as that. We know the human heart is deceitful and desperately sick. If we are angry, envious, bitter or any other of these to a brother and say or think something sinful, we have sinned. This is not always a deliberate sin, but a sin all the same. A person that can...

    Catholic Only Dogmas: There's something about Mary

    It's not so much the assumption of Mary I have an issue with, but the Church defining it as a prerequisite to salvation. As far as I am aware.

    Prayer Request: A Good Man Would Appreciate Your Prayers

    I don't imagine it was easy for you to ask this, and it shows your fondness for the man. I'll pray for him. My best wishes for comfort to the families for now as well.
