Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." John 20:21-23. Sorry Mark, try again.

Pastor Mark Driscoll just nailed it here! He has a gift of speaking, telling the truth, making us think about things we've never given much though about and being extremely articulate!!

@Wivanunu - True

The Holy Spirit TOTALLY convicts us! Even those who deny it.....they know!

[OKandNOWwhat]

God IS obligated to His people, for He has given His Word, and He MUST keep His Word. For His own sake He will bring it to pass. He bought us with His Blood, but He has obligated Himself to care for us because He Is good and we trust Him.

Theology students have theories based upon men's doctrines rather than on firsthand knowledge of the Lord. Jesus needs us because He has chosen to need us. May you all meet Jesus so you can know Him truly rather than just facts about Him.

@andrewdreiling11 It's the belief that Mary played a part in the redemption of the world, and that she is a valid mediatrix (feminine mediator) between God and man. Both are obviously heresies, but it is no secret that Catholicism often puts Mary on an equal level with God/Jesus, in theology, art, and elsewhere. I've read this stems from ancient paganism concerning mother-goddess traditions, which infiltrated Christianity (along with much of Roman paganism) after the Edict of Milan...

@natemup could you talk more about Co-Mediatrix?

[natemup]

Everything Catholics do with a priest (as far as confession and all that), they could do with a Christian friend (James 5:16). Even if Catholics WERE correct that only priests are allowed to do this, the poor theology surrounding it is untenable (Hail Marys, purgatory, Co-Mediatrix, works FOR salvation, etc). Hence the Protestant Reformation: Catholicism long ago gave up on Scriptural theology (as per their views on sola scriptura).

Well you obviously don't understand the word pagan
