    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Not the ones visible in any local Baptist or Evangelical church. He taught the practices that God gave to Israel, modified to function under the New Covenant — which is, after all, the very same covenant to which the Old Testament bore witness and which was brought into fulfilment with Christ...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    That claim collapses once you actually read the ante‑Nicene Fathers, who show remarkable continuity with what later Christians would recognise as “mainstream” doctrine and practice. Ignatius of Antioch (c. 110 AD)—a man who personally knew the apostles—insists on the Eucharist as “the flesh of...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    The claim that Constantine simply "showed up and restructured the Church along Roman political and cultural elitist hierarchy structures" oversimplifies and misrepresents the complex historical development of the early Church. Long before Constantine’s conversion and the Edict of Milan in 313...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    The above is nonsense. There was no "bible" as a single book for many decades after the resurrection of Jesus Christ but there was a Church and Christianity.

    The answer is in the Nicene Creed to which you adhere - the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    The answer is obvious. One listens to and hears the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking in and through Christ's Church. "so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth."

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    Yes, there's no book or any other human production that defines the truth. However, Jesus said of himself "I am the truth" and so I look to Christ for truth and the scriptures witness to him, but the scriptures are NOT Christ and hence are not The Truth as he is.

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    I ask her to and the holy, Catholic, and Apostolic church tells me that she hears and prays for us. The above is protestant speculation. What makes you think that the saints in heaven are limited to one "place" in heaven and that they cannot "hear" our prayers and that Blessed Mary cannot...

    Mary’s Perpetual Virginity

    His regnal name is Benedict XVI, why did you use an incorrect name? Pope Benedict XVI is dead, he is not worried now. Blessed Mary is not co-mediator of salvation, but she does pray for us and thus is an intercessor. What sacrament is that?

    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    The Vulgate is not an English translation.

    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    as pious as that sounds it is essentially nonsense; God doesn't consult with translators to tell them how to translate.

    Have you read Tobit, Judith, Sirach, Wisdom, and so forth?

    That is not so. Dynamic equivalence in Bible translation is a method that aims to convey the meaning, sense, and intended impact of the original text rather than reproducing its exact wording or grammatical structure; translators using this approach prioritise natural, contemporary language...
