I spent a great deal of time recording, filming, editing, and mastering this video. I would like to have some feedback from the Christian community. Constructive criticism only please :) Christopher Enoch - You are Watchin' Me - YouTube

Hi all! Back again. And once again I apologize for not being here more often. As stated in a previous post, my mother has been battling cancer... can hardly walk... lives in a country town 1 hour from the hospital she was referred to without a means of transportation. My sister, and I have been...

Ok... that wasn't one word answer. That was the same dancing around the definition... extensive list of ifs, ands, and buts.... that you do all along. obviously, you are blowing a lot of smoke over the clear facts. After all the smoke is gone, we are left with the answer. The most probably...

OK. I haven't been on this forum for a while. Lots of things happening. My mother battling cancer... busy caring for a 7 member family (wife, I, 5 children)... etc...etc.. In continuing with part 1 of this thread, I want to ask Thekla one question: Suppose that Mary indeed had other children...

Quite honestly, Its either you are having lots of fun with me, or you are blind, or chose to willingly ignore the truth staring your down! Its like you are saying that most, if not all of the translators of the Bible are wrong despite of their knowledge of Greek. The more rope I give you the...

< Staff Edit > You get my point. You don't need to actually put it in writing that Greg's gun was loaded to know that it was. In the same way, just because there are no scriptures explicitly stating that Mary ate food, drank water, bathed, and even used the "restroom" to relieve herself...

So then, "brothers", is a good translation of adelphos, seeing that both words can be taken many different ways. However, I understand that adelphos, like brothers, conveys a primary meaning of bio-brothers as opposed to like-minded friends. I am a firm believer in the virgin birth. I will...

Thanks, I will read it.

Excellent job. However, this argument has a few problems. 1. This definiation is taken from the Septuagint. Therefore it is a translation of the original. It is not the original language. 2. Abraham said that his wife was indeed his sister (although she was his cousin). So then we can safely...

The word translated betrothed here is mn&#275;steú&#333; meaning "espouse, then to promise in marriage" Being betrothed is to promise in marriage - not marry! If Mary is promised in marriage to Joseph she is mn&#275;steú&#333;, which the scripture says she was.So then, we can add the most...

Would you please let me know what passage adelphos is found in the Greek OT that clearly means cousins? Regarding Mary being only betrothed, without marriage. Please forgive my frankness of speech, but that just seems to be a play on words. Explicitly speaking, the scriptures do say that Mary...

You are completely missing my point. I am saying that some people go too far in worshiping Mary. I am not judging anyone for their rigid adherance to their beliefs. The day is coming when they will have to give an account to God if they are wrong. I am saying that the worship of Mary is indeed...

I am open to believe that Mary remained a virgin all her life, if that is indeed the truth. Please understand where I come from. Hold your offense! Please hear me out. I see so many people twisting the interpretations and definitions of the scripture to fit their lifestyles and/or belief...

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Becoming "one flesh" (the joining of two) is in fact the act of sex. It doesn't say one spirit, or one mind, although those attributes are obviously part of it. If a person gets...

I want my RC and EO brothers and sisters to understand that my motive is not to demean Mary in any way. The fact that she was chosen of God to be the mother of Jesus demands great respect and honor. However, it is clear to me that somewhere down the line (within the first few hundred years...

Laying aside all of the he said/she said quotes from people who were born long after the fact, lets stick strictly with the scriptures that was written by those who were eye witnesses, who lived "on site" with Mary, Joseph and Jesus. That said, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that...

Awesome! This reply has to be followed by a big AMEN! Well said, Rev Randy

Your approach may seem convincing to those who rely more on the appearance of wisdom rather than a common-sense look at the big picture. Laying aside all Mary-worship, the deification of Mary, and justification thereof, common sense paints a picture of a nuclear family as God has planned...
