    Catholic Only Dogmas: There's something about Mary

    Yes, it is an odd thing about history that folk forget about it so quickly. A strictly 66 book bible in printed form did not become common in any language until some time around 1830 AD when (for cost and theological reasons) the British & Foreign Bible Society refused funding to bible societies...

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    Your chosen examples are rather dramatic. But here is my answerThere is an active adulterer,(Adultery is not a crime under the laws of the land and it is often difficult to detect. Such a person is likely to be in a congregation right now without anybody noticing.) paedophile(Paedophilic acts...

    Misunderstandings about religion

    Nobody inherits sin; the idea is absurd. But people do inherit mortality and mortality is part of the curse that came upon the creation as a result of sins; specifically the sins of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. People also inherit a propensity to sin. That's explained in Romans chapter...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    If I am in a court room where the tradition is to address the judge as "my lord" then I'd call the judge "my lord", if in a synagogue speaking with the rabbi I'd call him rabbi, if in a church with a pastor I'd call him pastor, if talking with my father I'd call him father (or maybe dad) these...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Perhaps that's where the problem lies. Choosing the bible - presumably you meant that you choose a 66 book bible that was handed down to you from the traditions of your forefathers in your chosen denomination - so that it contains only the materials from which your tradition builds doctrine is...

    "Lutheran only" or "Catholic only"

    If it was "Lutheran only" why mention "Catholic only"? Just saying ;)

    Misunderstandings about religion

    I not only encounter misunderstandings about my religion but I am frequently told by people what I allegedly believe and even after pointing out that these alleged beliefs of mine are in fact not my beliefs I then get told that I am wrong and that I do in fact believe whatever my interlocutor...

    What must I do to be saved?

    Nonsense. I am a Catholic and I am the one who said "I will hazard the opinion that all in this thread believe saints Paul and Silas." ... now if you want to write pretend Catholic responses you're doing a fine job but if you want for-real Catholic responses then the one I gave is the one to go...

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    I've yet to see God called "co-redemptrix" so I reckon your post has either given God a title that holy scripture never does or your post is just wrong :P

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Aside from yourself in the above quote I do not know anybody, especially no Catholic, who thinks of Blessed Mary as God (or a Goddess). The very idea is absurd and blasphemous. I reckon the offence is imagined rather than actually present in a word like "co-redemptrix" ... but if folk want to...

    Once saved always saved?

    Not our fathers alone but also our mothers. Eve participated in the first sin in the garden too. 1 Timothy 2:13-14 RSV (13) For Adam was formed first, then Eve; (14) and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

    Is the Reformation to blame for Mariology abuse?

    Do you mean this ... I am not sure what it is about this that offends folk. Saint Paul spoke of his suffering completing what is lacking in the sufferings of Christ: Colossians 1:24 RSV Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ's...

    For Those Who Have Not Been Healed

    Since healing gifts are gifts of God's grace towards undeserving yet suffering human beings they can never be a cause of pride in one's self or a reason to boast of one's own faith.

    Can your bible make you into a bigot and a 'jerk'?

    The scriptures ought to be read for the instruction of the faithful - teaching them how to live their own life in all godliness and in peace with others and God. The scriptures ought not to be a weapon to hit and hurt others through the harsh judgemental acts of the faithful towards others.
