...Do you even believe in Evolution in the first palce? (2)

[AV1611VET]

Huh? You want scriptures to validate that Catholics don't worship Mary??? Well, there aren't any. There aren't any scriptural passages about Catholics not worshipping troll dolls either.

Is Mary the Queen of Heaven?

 

[Blackwater Babe]

Is Mary the Queen of Heaven?

That is one of the things she is called. Queen=/=goddess. I suggest if you are really interested on what Catholics believe about Mary, you read the Catechism.

Note: she's also called "the Ocean Star" but we don't believe she's a literal star, nor ocean. Sorry to dissapoint.

No, thanks ... my wife is an ex-Catholic.

 

[Blackwater Babe]

No, thanks ... my wife is an ex-Catholic.

No such thing.

Incidentally, BB, my wife's older sister had to shell out some pretty pennies to the Catholics.

She, a Catholic herself, divorced her husband some 30 years ago and remarried shortly thereafter.

Just recently, she found out, to her horror, that the Catholic church didn't recognize her new husband; and that she was living in sin with "another man."

They (she and her husband) had to go through some Catholic legalities to get her former marriage disannuled in the eyes of the Church.

(I forget what they called the procedure.)

In any event, all is kosher now ... except her checkbook, which is around two hundred and fifty dollars emptier.

 

[AV1611VET]

No such thing.

Ya ... that's what her mom says.

"I tried my best to raise you kids right, and what do you do? you disgrace me by marrying a Baptist!"

I asked mom if my wife is going to Hell, now that she is no more taking "Holy Communion," which is a sacrament in the eyes of a Catholic, and she says that's not for her to judge.

Facinating.

Right.

 

[AV1611VET]

Facinating.

Expensive.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Expensive.

Pointless.

 

[AV1611VET]

Right.

Have you ever read The Trail of Blood, by J.M. Carroll?

Do you know why there were Donatists and Waldensans, and Montanists in history? and what they really were?

Do you know what would happen to someone in the Catholic Church, if he called someone outside of the Catholic Church a Christian or an Independent Baptist?

Thus Independent Baptists were referred to by their pastor's last name, before they died ... being martyred by the Catholics.

 

[AV1611VET]

Pointless.

That's pretty expensive for being pointless.

 

[TLK Valentine]

That's pretty expensive for being pointless.

Well that's religion for you these days -- pointless and expensive.

So, the catholic church says she is living in sin unless she pays a fee. What about the KJV Bible? What does it have to say about it?

$250 is a small price to pay when the KJB decrees death by stoning.

Tis a OC Jewish thang.

Revelation 16 shows a type of "stoning", tho I don't know how the RCs view it:

Reve 16 and Great Hail question

Greetings. How do other Christians here view this event in Reve 16:21. Is the hailstones falling from Heaven literal or is it symbolic.

This is the only place in the NT that uses this word though it is used a number of times in the OT.

Reve 16:21 And great Hailstones/calaza <5464>, as talent-weight, is descending out of the Heaven upon the Men,
and the men blaspheme the God out of the blow of the Hail/calazhV <5464> , that great is the blow of it/her, tremendous.
[LXX # 5464 used in Ezekiel 38:22]

5464. chalaza khal'-ad-zah probably from 5465; hail:--hail. Used 4 times Reve 8:7, 11:19, Reve 16:21 [2 times]
5465. chalao khal-ah'-o from the base of 5490; to lower (as into a void):--let down, strike.

Which makes supposed death of Jesus on a cross all the more suspect.

Does anyone else find it incredibly ironic how AV looks down on theistic evolutionists for supposedly twisting the words of the Bible, yet he believes in so many non-Biblical ideas himself, and he has to constantly twist the words of the Bible to try to support them?

Your observations are spot on.

There can only be two explanations; AV is not the brightest bulb and doesn't know how to educate himself, or, AV knows exactly what he is stating is wrong and he just loves the attention he gets from it.

Take your pick.

So, you're saying AV is either a dimwit, or a troll?

It must be bulb thing then; because if I love the attention I get from you guys, then I'd say I'm pretty attention-starved.

If it's any consolation though, my wife says about me sometimes that: the lights are on, but nobody's home.
