    Josiah, does the LCMS believe in the rapture?

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Yes, that’s what the CHURCH teaches, but other churches teach something else, instead of posting these long posts quoting Scripture, just tell us where it says: 1. Mary remained a perpetual virgin, IN THOSE WORDS. 2. What the CC teaches is right about everything.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    When I started this thread, I was hoping a Catholic would come here and prove that the teaching Mary remained a virgin her whole life was a fact but He can’t prove it at all.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    I remember one Christmas Eve when I was Catholic and the priest read Scripture that clearly suggested Mary had given birth to other children. I remember thinking “hmmmmm that goes against what my Church teaches. “ It really bothered me.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    If it’s not in Scripture, then how can you possibly know it’s true? because your church tells you so?

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    That doesn’t have anything to do with whether Mary remained a virgin her entire life. The CC teaches that she did, but thus far, I have only seen evidence that she didn’t.

    OTOH, how does one interpret without someone to help them along? I mean, when I was Catholic I looked to the Church to guide me and interpret Scripture when I couldn’t do so, myself.

    I’ve noticed that most Scriptures that people quote were meant for those in Biblical times, yet people quote them as if they were written for us. Isn’t that taking the Scripture out of context?

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    I‘m LCMS and it’s unclear to me as to whether we can or can’t take The Pill. I’m 61 so it’s no longer an issue for me, anyway, but I would like a definitive answer on it. I was told by one of our seminarians that we can’t, but don’t know if he’s right or not. Plan B is an oral contraceptive to...

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    The pro choice camp say that nobody can tell them what they can or can’t do with their own bodies. The disabled child in your scenario isn’t a part of her body anymore.

    Roe vs. Wade and the Supreme Court

    Fetuses feel pain at whichever time isn’t much of a reason to oppose abortion when Plan B and the Pill are considered wrong when they prevent pregnancy and terminate at conception when the embryo can’t feel.
