@Kryptotajeer Paul is not excluding Jesus from the one God—he is rewriting the popular “Shema” from Deut. 6:4 “one God, one Lord”; 1 Cor. 8:6 identifies the “one God” as the Father and the “one Lord” as Jesus, using the Greek title for YHWH. That is inclusion in the divine identity, not denial
@kingsofar@FuentesUpdates Mathew 16:18 “On this rock I will build MY church”… not “one of many” or “a” church. Then the longest standing human institution in history is built on top of that persons grave (grave sites were important to 1st century Jews)
All done without a standing army…
@farmingandJesus Kecharitōmenē is in the passive voice, meaning Mary did not earn this grace—God freely gave it to her.
If Mary was “full of grace” before Gabriel greeted her, it means she had already been graced by God in a unique way, likely from conception.
@landjax@farmingandJesus@JesusandMary777 In ancient Israel, the Queen was not the king’s wife, but his mother (Gebirah). She held great honor and interceded for the people (1 Kings 2:19-20) Jesus, as eternal King (Luke 1:32-33), makes Mary the Queen Mother of His Kingdom. This is why she is honored and intercedes
@smashbaals Because asking the saints to pray for us is biblical. Just as we ask friends to pray for us (1 Tim 2:1), we ask the saints in heaven, who are alive (Rev 5:8), (Matt 22:32) to intercede. Their prayers don’t replace God but lead us closer to Him
@Cecilia2078602@Autumn__Fox@WWUTTcom In Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke, Peter” and “rock” are the same word: Kepha (כֵּיפָא). when Jesus said, “You are Kepha, and on this Kepha I will build my Church” there was no distinction between Peter and the rock
@Cecilia2078602@Autumn__Fox@WWUTTcom The Greek translation uses Petros (a masculine form for Peter) and Petra (feminine for rock), but in Aramaic, it’s the same word. Jesus clearly made Peter the foundation of His Church!

@farmingandJesus No One Else in Scripture is Called “Kecharitōmenē”
Stephen is described with “plērēs charitos” (πλήρης χάριτος) → meaning he is “filled with grace” at that moment.
•Mary is called “kecharitōmenē” → meaning she has been completely and permanently transformed by grace
