It's crazy how protestants talk about any character in the bible except for Mary, and she's the MOTHER of their GOD.

Even Luther respected Mary, and Protestants are his followers...

go figure...

@ChrisDaron I knew an evangelical once who said he wouldn't be suprised if Moses was taken up body and soul, eventhough the bible says God buried him. And when I told him we believe Mary was taken body and soul, his answer was; " theres nothing in the bible to support that".

@ChrisDaron Rome accepted Christianity as its official religion in about 315AD at Constantine's conversion, and Christians were allowed to publicly practice their faith.

The unintended consequence was a merging of power and authority of church and state, during which time the church did NOT remain autonomous.

Those who opposed the state were seen to oppose the church and vice versa.

Right from the start of this corruption, believers "protested" this, and sought "reform".

[ChrisDaron]

@Infidelrf She birthed the Lord, therefore she's the Mother of the Lord. That's the name Elizabeth gives her, "Mother of my Lord."

Protestants came from Luther. Before Luther's movement, there were no Protestants.

@ChrisDaron Protestants are NOT followers of Martin Luther. Many Reformers chose to distance themselves from him because of their differences. He simply became the "name" of the reformation movement because of his public image.

And also: Mary is not the mother of God. She birthed His earthly form only.

"Mother of God"......think about that. Read John 1. Jesus was with God in the beginning.

As God, Jesus had no beginning.

He was and always will be the great "I AM" - eternally existant.

How are you using a passage from Genesis as an example of a Greek word? Is that from the Septuagint?

[tifforo1]

Matthew 13:53-56

And when Jesus had finished...coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas? And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"

On a different note, you'd think "God's Word" would have clarified this better.

Whatever happened to faith? If you believe it, then you don't need to explain it or rationalize it or argue it. You just believe it. God said it. I believe it. That settles it.

@EmeraldicRose There is not a hint of Mary being sinless in fact the bible states for all have sinned & fall short of the glory of God & of course that excludes Christ but not Mary.

Emphasis should be on Christ not Mary Calvary is the real heart of the matter not whether or not Mary was born with Adams fallen nature

RCs treat Mary like a godess make prayers of intercession to her make statues to bow before say rosaries to her time would be better spent giving this honor to Christ instead of Mary

[EmeraldicRose]

Thank you so much for the explanation! You said it all way better then I ever could. Peace be with you. =D

[EmeraldicRose]

@glizag Hehe. Not quite. The difference is that God was not actually IN Mary's mother. Mary's mother didn't have to be sinless for Mary to be just like Mary didn't have to be sinless for JESUS to be sinless... God just wanted his mama that way.

Christ be with you. =)
