Scripture is always valuable. Thanks for sending the screenshot. We still seem to differ in our perspectives. My reason for disagreeing with your conclusions are because single scripture verses don’t necessarily prove or disprove many theological points. Trinity, salvation requirements, pope, no pope, Queen of Heaven, etc. I believe we need to consider Holy Scripture, Natural Law, historical understandings of the church, etc and take all into account. I believe when this is done that the Catholic understanding of this and other important subjects are best understood.
@NotVictorGodwin@IndianaBrunner Quoting Scripture and presenting a few thoughts on the subject is “eye of the needle” and “contorting”? You have a lot in your mind that you’re inserting here.
@DespevilleX@IndianaBrunner You have a point. But, when I say my interpretation it’s in consideration of the Magisterium, Tradition and Sacred Scripture.
You have a good point. But, God was only born of one woman, a specific person, Mary. My position is that there’s much more to the story and God has used Mary in a unique way to honor Him and guide future generations.
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked upon his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed, for the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name." — Luke 1:46–49 (NABRE)
Perhaps a reasonable response would be, to whom do you go to settle these disagreements? The 30,000 Catholics can return home to the wisdom of the Church and receive answers to their important questions. For example, one place we can all go to is the Catechism. Generally, the other denominations of Christianity don’t have that “home base”. Despite having the written Word of God (Scripture) that seems to justify the various groups’ positions. Hence, the separations and “new” churches that pop up on the corners and strip malls.
@DespevilleX@IndianaBrunner You added the analogy only as your interpretation of the passages meaning. Like I first replied, now we can enter dialogue about meaning and relevance to the topic. The original post said Paul didn’t mention Mary, once. He did.
@SoWhatAaaand Judas spent a lot of time around Jesus. He still betrayed him. This wasn’t the first time someone walked away from Jesus. It won’t be the last.
Lots of confusion on faith, morals and religion on social media. Including misunderstandings, false perceptions, false prophets and anti-Catholic rhetoric. One apostolate that helped me better understand what the Catholic Church has to say on these matters is Catholic Answers @catholiccom and their website https://t.co/n5CpzRBTCn Ask any question there.
