@ProLifeisProGod A Bible only church is only as good as its Bible preacher. Divine liturgy is always the highest form of worship The closest thing to heaven this side of the veil. You might hear Mary once or twice in the creed and litany of saints in the Eucharistic prayers.
@3catturds@CarolynCalfo@Burgess7281975 You don't understand the context of Jewish marriage and overlay your gooner mentality on the theotokos. Two become one doesn't mean coitus gooner. It's a combination of lives and covenant commitment. Stop watching poorn it's rotting your mind.
@3catturds@CarolynCalfo@Burgess7281975 Funny that Protestants proudly beat their chest about their eisogesis opinions. When challenged about it they fall back on their pride. Heretics gonna heretic.
@autocorrect2_0 I understand people being mad. They were sold a bill of goods that they didn't receive. Some sold everything they had for false prophets. Even worse they alienate themselves from family and friends and the true church.
@3catturds@CarolynCalfo@Burgess7281975 Please what?
Brian states the 2k year old belief of the church and you all go off on the nonsense of "muh Bible don't say so."
Just love it when fundies fall back on their opinions instead of the opinion of the church Christ found.
@Matthew56193629@R3L3VANTTRUTH@Burgess7281975 The NT writers were Catholic.
The men who devoted their lives to protecting and peomulgating NT Writ were Catholic.
You discovered nothing. You hijacked a sacred tradition and self declared yourself God's chosen interpreter.
@3catturds@CarolynCalfo@Burgess7281975 She was already betrothed when she was conceived by the Holy Spirit. She was pregnant when the chuppah occurred. Their marriage was 100% valid at that point. Consummation is not required for marriage under ancient and modern Jewish law. The intimate act is a fulfillment.
@Burgess7281975 Here is the pattern:
Fact: here is his opinion.
Fact: here is another opinion
Accuse.
Declare a fallacy that isn't there.
Accuse.
Run a victory lap.
@Eddie1968K To be sure, the simplest answer to your mystery is that the BOM is 19th century fiction. The plates were fake like the seer stones and goggles. The language and English dialect are fake. The dictation was that of a persuasive storyteller.
@Eddie1968K That's not an answer. That's evading the question. I'm assuming that JS translated the plates with accuracy as Writ should be. Appealing to mystery is fine in certain circumstances and this isn't one of them. It seems to me like evading.
