And then along came Mary...

[repentant]

The word is this..

Please....menoun comes from the word mena..

You need to check your sources..

 

[IamAdopted]

You don't follow any traditions?

I am not too keen on tradtion.. In my faith it is in Christ alone and what His word tells me.. I may have a tradition that my family has had down through the years. I may sing Happy Birthday to Jesus when others celebrate Christmas. I am a creature of habit.. I Guess it really depends on what you consider tradition..

I did check my source. Don't know what source you are reading from.

Can you please post your source?


And my source is 27 years of learning and speaking Greek...

Actually it is our choice to trust in Christ for our salvation..And yes we should submit to the leadership in our respective churches unless we see them stray from the truth,,And the church is alive on earth, it just is not confined to your Catholic church..pax..kim

I'm not saying Protestants aren't saved. Far from it. That is not my place to judge peoples denominations.

I can only tell you this. One of the reasons I joined the RCC was because I wanted to be in full communion with St Mary, the Apostles, and all the other great Saints like St Augustine and St Francis who are by anyones definition devout Catholic Christians.

If you are content with your denomination then thats great, may God strengthen you on your journey and bless you abundantly my friend.

No, I think it is really on what you consider tradition. Protestants often accuse Catholics of following unbibical man made traditions, I just wondered if a Protestant ever stopped and looked at their traditions, that are uniquely Protestant...and lined them up with the bible. And why is it, that traditions that they may hold, that have origins in the Catholic Church...aren't considered "man-made" as well? When they are drawn from the same Deposit of Faith, as the Sacred Traditions that they reject as man made or unbiblical.

Peace be with you...Pam

Sola Scriptura (Bible Only) is man made tradition because it is not taught in the Bible.

Ever virginity of Mary..

Proverbs Ch. 4
1 Listen, my sons, to a father's instruction;
pay attention and gain understanding.
2 I give you sound learning,
so do not forsake my teaching.

3 When I was a boy in my father's house,
still tender, and an only child of my mother,

4 he taught me and said,
"Lay hold of my words with all your heart;
keep my commands and you will live.

Solomon speaking prophetic words about Christ. Solomon was not an only child..

2 Samuel 11:27
After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the LORD.


2 Samuel 12:24
Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and he went to her and lay with her. She gave birth to a son, and they named him Solomon. The LORD loved him;

11:27 speaks of a son being born to David, prior to the birth of Solomon in 12:24. So how could Solomon ever been an only child of his mother, if his brother was born first. So therefore, he must e speaking prophetically..

 

[Iollain]

The brother was dead, and if it is speaking of Christ, it is speaking of when He was an only child, not he was always.

what happened to the first child that was born? He didn't live.. Making Solomon and only child of His mother.. You need to read a little further into what you post. Taking it out of context is where you all into error. You have to read the whole story.. Read about the first child that the Lord took because of Davids sin before the Lord..

So you claim.

 

[Proeliator]

The latter part of each verse does not change the meaning of the former.

Oh, I know, I was just responding to the silliness of someone saying Jerome couldn't translate the same way.

And that would be His written word. Jesus doesn't speak kindly of tradtions so therfore I don't think I will follow them. He speaks about the scriptures constantly so these are what I will allow to be a light unto my path.. My righteousness is Christ. The Father sanctifies me through His truth and His word is truth..

You can claim not to follow tradition all you want, but it's a guarantee that you do. Just your claiming to only ever need Scripture is a tradition in and of itself. As would be the way you take the Lord's Supper. As I'm positive there is no Consecration so therefore no real presence. These things, to start, are Protestant "tradition".

Thus making Bathsheba, at the time of Solomon's birth the mother of to children. One that did not live, but her child, none the less; and one that lived...Solomon.

I have four children, but only three survived; that makes me a mother of four....not three, and a thing in Heaven.

Peace be with you...Pam

And youre right.
But Solomon was saying he is an only
child.
If he has no siblings, he is an only
child.


This thread is not about Jesus having
siblings though.

Peace

 

[PassthePeace1]

Solomon had a sibling, that preceeded him...he died, but he was still his sibling.

siblings though.

It is about Mary though, so the subject of her having other children, usually comes up....in the course of the discussion.

Peace be with you...Pam

 

[PassthePeace1]

So IAA, as a Protestant, what traditions do you follow?

Here we go again with the death theory. Solomon did not know his sibiling.. He was an only child being that the first child was not raised. He was an only child to His mother. The first child was not here..

 

[sunlover1]

Yes indeed he did.

why don't you tell me. You are the one stuck on tradition.. I have freedom in Christ and His word. I have Christ in Me. His presence lives within Me not within a piece of bread or a cup of wine.. I don't have to worry about sacraments or purgatory or any of this you claim is tradtion. For I am safe and secure in the One Whom saves..

Exactly.
My granny had her first baby that passed
away.
Never met that 'aunt'.
When people asked her how many
kids she had, she always said 7, not
8 which would have included that one.

My mother, when asked, said she had
5 brothers and 1 sister, not 2.
