[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@DNews_0 @CatholicDrip___ You absolutely shifted your argument. Re-read this thread. You started with a grammatical argument and when that was proven false you shifted to a context argument, which still doesn’t prove anything. I wish you well, but there’s no point in further conversation. God Bless

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 …started endorsing gay marriage. So they switched to another church whose pastor had refused to marry them, but they agreed with his message more. And they’re not the only ones I personally know who have shopped around. So yes, it does happen.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 I live in a very small community. Yet I have several friends who church-shopped. I even have a relative who church-shopped to find someone to marry him and his wife, because they were both married twice prior. They didn’t even stay with that church afterward because the pastor…

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 …prohibit it. Some say communion is symbolic, some say it’s spiritual food, and some say it’s Jesus (kind of). Some permit gay marriage, others prohibit it. Some believe in OSAS, others don’t. You can’t reduce that to “he likes carrots but I don��t.”

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 That’s really a stretch. We’re not talking about food. We’re talking about faith. Protestantism IS divided. Some Protestant churches believe baptism is necessary, some think it isn’t. Some believe it’s salvific, some think it’s symbolic. Some say infant baptism is ok, some…

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 …there are Catholics - including clergy - who reject certain Church teachings. But their rejection can be called out because there is one singular Catholic Truth. There’s no shopping around; no conflicting truth. Protestantism is a house divided.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 …find the belief set they like. When you have no unity, you have no clarity. And you end up with conflicting versions of the truth. No one can ever be wrong, because they can always find a church that thinks like they do. Truth is watered down and made relative.

Admittedly,…

@DNews_0 @CatholicDrip___ * Not “in the answer” context. That was supposed to say “in the absence of context.”

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@DNews_0 @CatholicDrip___ …brother” in the answer context. That’s pure speculation on your part. The best you can do is say you think Jesus had blood brothers. But you also have to admit you could be wrong.

@Roaring_T_Rex @SoWhatAaaand It’s only blasphemous because you want (or need) it to be. Her “let it be done to me according to your word” allowed the OT prophecies to be fulfilled through her Son, the Word incarnate. The fact that you find that blasphemous says more about you than it does Catholicism.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@Roaring_T_Rex @SoWhatAaaand Since nobody considers Mary a deity, your post is meaningless. But if you need to rage a little bit to maintain what’s left of your sanity, go for it. I’ll pray for your well-being.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@DNews_0 @CatholicDrip___ This you?

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@DNews_0 @CatholicDrip___ You might not realize it, but you’re agreeing with me and arguing against yourself. I know he was his uncle. But the Greek word used is a derivative of adelphos. You can’t argue adelphos means “brother” and then claim “unless we can tell it means uncle.”

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@Roaring_T_Rex @SoWhatAaaand When you can’t understand metaphors, use circular reasoning, category errors, and inflammatory non sequiturs in order to arrive at a disgusting conclusion, you just might be a warped pervert.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@girardbr @garrettham_esq @sola_chad Out of context too.

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@brainwormplus @BishopJaxi @Truth_matters20 One couldn’t claim that at all. We can look up the definitive Catholic teaching on baptism. It’s in print; available for anyone see. That’s not an opinion. What is the definitive non-Catholic teaching on baptism?

[Servus Dei @ServusDei2018]

@Butch30586594 @KennyBurchard So your argument is that some popes healed people but not enough popes healed people so that means they can’t be successors to Peter?
