    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Perhaps a biblical word study on “husband”, “wife” and “marriage” would give you a better definition of God’s plan for a husband and wife. If your sarcasm was directed at me, I only assume that a godly husband and a godly wife had a godly marriage. I’ll leave it to you to find the scripture...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    The question is not about what I think, it is about what God says. Let me ask you ... What is Scripture? If we are to discuss whether the Apocrypha should be viewed as scripture, it seems that we should start out with a firm grasp of exactly what scripture is.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Now that you explained your reasoning ... No. It makes it seem like the publisher of a bible 400 years ago believed that Hebrews referenced Maccabees. Shall we also quote the footnotes in the first Mormon bible to see if there are any other Scriptures hidden from us?

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    “Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;” [Hebrews 11:35] Setting aside the questions of Pauline authorship, how so?

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    “I insisted that you stop telling me that I am an Anabaptist and demanding that I prove 16th Century beliefs that I do not hold. I cannot and I will not.” :hand:

    My fault. You were correct ... don't feed the trolls.

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    Umm ... I know that I am a LIAR and all, but "a hen gathering her chicks under her wings" is a fairly common farm event (been there, seen that) and a widely used metaphor. Everything surrounding the phrase seems different (but I am unfamiliar with the exact wording of Matthew in any 17th C...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Since you are determined to drag THIS topic down THAT path, here we go. Yes I did QUOTE you here, however, no I did not link the topics. I made a comment in passing to MC that was tangentially related to baptism that I was not Baptized as an adult Catholic because I could not accept their...

    Water Baptism

    I asked for ONE point to discuss and you posted 3 things for me to respond to (two points in post #451 and a new point in post #452) and I only responded to one point ... the first point you made, the point about a minimum age for baptism. I responded to YOUR post #451 in post # 460 and you can...

    Water Baptism

    I think I agree with Arsenios about this being "tedious" 1 Peter 3:18-22 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    Thanks for the threadcrapping. I responded to you and am waiting for you to respond with something other than a demand for a response. Go read back through the Baptism thread.

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    The issue arose as the Church I was attending as an inquiring visitor was preparing for "The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin". What is the doctrine of the "Blessed Virgin" in the Catholic Church (HINT: more than the virgin birth: see Immaculate Conception and Perpetual Virginity)...

    Did Jesus quote the Apocrypha?

    All right, you caught me. I LOVE to just make stuff up and lie to people, especially about the Apocrypha! I am part of a giant, world-wide organized conspiracy by the Illuminati to make up lies about 1 Esdras. Now that you have discovered our secret, a Black Ops team will be sent to make both...

    Mary and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin

    It is my deepest hope that this topic will be both short and polite. It is not my intent to PROVE anything or to convince anyone to change their mind. I was just accused of having no scripture for supporting my belief and wanted to calmly and politely present my point of view without derailing...

    I responded to YOUR post #451: in post # 460: ... You can see post #460 for the rest of what I posted and either respond or not as you please. I have kept my word and I did not ignore you. I asked for ONE point to discuss and you posted 3 things for me to respond to (two points in post...

    Water Baptism

    Actually, this is the sort of stuff that I live for ... it is just how I am wired. 1 Peter 3:18-22 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and...

    Water Baptism

    I would hope you feel that way. Otherwise you should become a Particular Baptist and that would mean a lot of bother with finding a new church to attend and membership classes and deciding if you need to be baptized again. It is much easier for you if you disagree with me and continue to hold...

    Water Baptism

    I’ll try, but here is the problem ... Let’s review what I asked for: “Why don't YOU: 1. make A statement 2. list A verse of your choosing either supporting or countering that statement 3. offer some sort of brief commentary (exegesis) on that verse related to that statement.” You don’t have...
