catholicism is not christian!catholicism is an extension of the roman empire,mitraism,paganism,sun worship,satanism disguise of christianity!waste of time talking or listening to brainwashed catholic apologists that dont even know their own history.

Does william ever answer a direct question without saying" I dont understand the question" ~~ or back tracking and saying" I never said that "

I listened to him calling the Dividing Line & Dr White first off asked him to demonstrate what another RC apologist could not do it a debate with him ~ william simply avoided the question & continued to change the topic & spoke over Dr white all the time ~ Dr White destroyed him on his show ~ & even had to mute him to get a point across ~ some apologist

Albrecht's use of terms is equivocal and he constantly relies on such fallacies as "begging the question" and special pleading.

@Hitononasubi GOD couldn't not. Not if he was to be made the Son of Man and not if he wished to "be tempted in every way we are tempted"...

@loveYehoshua Matthew 22:32 says "I am the God of the dead not the living" we see in Mark 9:4 that Moses and Elijah appeared to the apostles and were next to Jesus. I thought they were dead? Dead in the body, not the soul. Hebrews 12:1 says "we are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses." the saints in Heaven are the saints in Heaven. Also, Mary is righteous so her prayers availeth much(james5:16) so it is good to ask her to pray for us.

[Hitononasubi]

@loveYehoshua The fact remains: God could have chosen to descend from heaven already in the flesh, yet he chose to be born through Mary.

[Itrytotestify]

@loveYehoshua I personally would say she is alive with Christ, but we play to Christ, not Mary!

[loveYehoshua]

Mary is a dead sinner. Christians are to pray to God ALONE! God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost. Period. When you pray to a dead sinner, you have taken your eyes off of God. Mary is dead, or "sleeping" (as our Lord puts it many times), and awaiting the ressurection just like all the rest of the dead saints in Christ. Where in scripture is the phrase "mother of God" ????? You look with reverence on Mary when you should be glorifying God for the work He accomplished in her.
