@FancyABQ@UcheMaryOkoli Revelation 12:5 speaks of a son, a male child, who will rule all nations with an iron scepter, an allusion to the messiah in Psalm 2. It’s not an intellectual issue; it’s a heart issue. You struggle to give the correct answer, you won’t burst into flames if you say the name.
@FancyABQ@UcheMaryOkoli Revelation says that she gave birth to a son.
Historically, who is the one person who gave birth to Jesus? What is her name? Don't divert, just give me the name.
Prayer Request 🙏
Please pray for my Aunt Mary, who has been in and out of the hospital (currently in again), and unsure about what is causing her to not feel well.
Thank you! God bless you all!
@FancyABQ@UcheMaryOkoli Many Protestant scholars believe that the woman in Revelation 12 is both Mary and the Church. This is not a view held only by uneducated Protestants who have never studied Revelation.
@JennyWakefiel12@UcheMaryOkoli Can you be saved outside the Body of Christ? (Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that the Body of Christ consists of Protestants)
@FancyABQ@UcheMaryOkoli There are Protestants who accept that the woman in Revelation 12 is Mary, and accept the Deuterocanonical books. With all due respect, I personally do not care what Protestants reject. Protestant interpretations are not infallible.
Gospel of the Day (Mark 10,46-52)
As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging.
On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, son of David, have pity on me."
And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, "Son of David, have pity on me."
Jesus stopped and said, "Call him." So they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take courage; get up, he is calling you."
He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.
Jesus said to him in reply, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man replied to him, "Master, I want to see."
Jesus told him, "Go your way; your faith has saved you." Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.

@MDHensley5@TheBasedTrinity@judeokeyvlogs Your entire belief is based on man-made tradition. The Bible teaches councils (Acts 15) and both oral and written tradition (2 Thessalonians 2:15).
Patriarch Kirill of Moscow uttered a heresy condemned by the Ecumenical Council
In his sermon on May 21, Patriarch Kirill (Gundyaev) of Moscow declared that at the Second Coming, Jesus Christ will appear "outside of all flesh."
"The Church of God is that through which the Lord is present in people's lives from the very times when He came in the flesh to minister to the salvation of the human race, until the time when He will appear outside of all flesh, in glory," the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church said.
Deacon Andrei Kuraev drew attention to this, recalling that the Council of Chalcedon of 451 decreed that the union of the Divine and human natures in Christ is "inseparable." Thus, he emphasized, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church "uttered a heresy condemned by the Ecumenical Council."
@mdencro@Sacerdotus@Truth_matters20 Catholic Mass quotes Scripture far more often than the Protestant churches I have attended. Everyone believes the other group misinterprets Scripture. Even among Protestants, different denominations disagree with one another.
@FullBodyOfArmor@AvindehelAlaha@BruceSaiFun@WesleyLHuff Condemning his actions and deciding whether he should teach is for his leaders to address. He said his actions were wrong, which is a sign that he has repented. He also says his spiritual leaders know that he teaches. Christ gave us leaders, and they will have to give an account.
@james_bert_mill@poperespecter1 Did you read the Bible and come to the conclusion of faith alone, or were you told that’s what Eph 2, Rom 4 etc mean? Just be honest with yourself. I doubt many modern readers would arrive at that conclusion without being influenced by Protestantism.
@adelethelaptop Hypothetically, if a Jew says Isaiah 53 is not about Jesus and that you’re taking it out of context, that’s not an argument. It’s just a claim.
@tayis7gay@LOlsonKingsFan@LizzieMarbach Because truth matters. J. B. Lightfoot, a Protestant scholar, admitted that the bulk of early Christians believed in the PVM. If it’s false, we would have to ask ourselves: how did the Holy Spirit guide the Church? One possible implication is that Christianity itself is false,
