@auntiesam_2 @swamthetiber25 Obviously. So you must think adelphoi means half-siblings sharing the same mother?

[André @CatholicAndre]

@HoaryHead1611 @namtrag He didn’t say heaven, he said kingdom of heaven. No one was in heaven when he said this.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@auntiesam_2 @swamthetiber25 Did Jesus’ “brothers and sisters” have the same mother and father as Jesus?

If not which parent did they come from? Where does the Bible say?

[André @CatholicAndre]

@Mormonger Because the Bible was never intended to be written as a catechism. That is why Jesus established the church, to go forth to all nations (and not just for a short time, and with no long period without a church) making disciples in the name (the authority) of the one triune God.

@needGod_net @you_serious_45 Saved by rightthink alone

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 No, I’m arguing that God, who is omniscient and omnipresent, does the work of making it so that the saints can intercede.

Your very limited thinking implies that they would have to be in earshot, but your human understanding is very limited by your bias.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 The ones holding them in heaven are the elders, in the symbol of incense. The whole thing is so obviously showing intercession by the human elders, you would have to be very biased not to see it.

The saints in heaven (the elders) offer the prayers of the saints on earth to God.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 We agree. So you don’t believe that God in heaven makes it so that the saints in heaven can hear our prayers, in spite of evidence that they do? rev. 5:8

No one is arguing that the BVM is omniscient or omnipotent.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 You believe in a very limited God who you seem to believe is incapable of making prayers of the faithful on earth heard by the saints in heaven.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@AnsweringRCs So you don’t know, but somehow you know it’s not Mary.

No non-divine person in scripture is exalted higher than the BVM, who is called Blessed among women, regally “hailed” by an angel, and from Gen 3:15 God promised to put enmity between the woman (Mary) and the serpent.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 Obviously not, but God is. In his omnipotence, can He make it possible? Yes. Does He? Yes. Rev. 5:8

[André @CatholicAndre]

@LarryFarlow @Mattman34 In heaven, time is eternal, so your question doesn’t make sense.

One second on earth could be experienced as a thousand years in heaven.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@AnsweringRCs @Mattman34 Who is the holiest non-divine person then?

[André @CatholicAndre]

@MrCasey62 We like to say in RCIA that at the consecration, there are two miracles, one is that the substance changes and two that the accidents do not, so in a sense Eucharistic miracles are sort of a “defective” consecration. With a wink and a smile of course.

[Michael Knowles @michaeljknowles]

@buttonslives I strongly recommend the (One Holy) Catholic (and Apostolic) Church!

[André @CatholicAndre]

@YoungRichie75 @TStudite826 @CatholicCoachP Such as?

[André @CatholicAndre]

@YoungRichie75 @TStudite826 @CatholicCoachP Catholics didn’t just set up hospitals and universities. They invented them.

@achs_fred @frannymorales @PrayTheRosary If they don’t love going to mass, they probably wouldn’t like heaven anyway.

[André @CatholicAndre]

@Vitus_osst Define death.

Brain death is not death. People who have been declared braindead have recovered.

A Catholic should not check the organ donor box because doctors these days want to harvest organs before you are actually dead. They do this by calling someone “braindead”.
