I think if people really looked at some of the 'teachings' of the church and admit, SOME of the stuff is error...it would blow their faith out of the water.I have had some of my believes changed and blown out of the water. BUT in the light of THE Truth..for He is truth...it was wise to go with the truth.

Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Jimmy Carter...are Southern Baptist.

I was talking about LIBERAL THEOLOGY comes from Modern Liberal Catholics, Anglican, Methodist not liberals as in politicians. Christ is not a political party.

And Laura Bush is pro choice if you didn't know.

That's what I thought you meant. And no, I had no idea Laura Bush is pro choice. How sad.

No, I was talking about the liberal theologies.

Yes, Laura Bush is pro choice. I'll see if I can find the link for you... but they are soon going to be out of office anyhow, the Bushes I mean. It was a CNN interview... so it's trustworthy. Type in your search box, Laura Bush CNN Roe vs Wade, you might find the interview.

Sorry. My mistake. I worded my post wrong. What I meant was that I knew you were talking about liberal theology. And I agree with that. It seems the more formal and liturgical style has the more liberal theologies. Yeah, send me the the link if you can. I may try and find it on my own. I would like to check it out either way.

Oh, I see. I don't think politics mean much to Christ. All politicians are corrupt in one way or another, eventually.

Actually Laura Bush said she is not for overturning Roe vs Wade, but she is pro sex eduction and abstainance teaching from churches.

Here is the link http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/19/laurabush.abortion.02/

Anyhow, back on topic.... (sorry about veering off topic, but we were making clear liberal theology vs liberal politicians.)

Jesus Christ offended people all the time, he never watered down the truth to stop from offending people, as a matter of fact he poured it on.

Jesus Christ offended people all the time, he never watered down the truth to stop from offending people, as a matter of fact he poured it on.
Wasn't it mainly the Priests and Rulers of His people that he offended?

John 11:48 "If we let Him alone like this, everyone will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place/topon <5117> and nation."................... Matthew 21:43 "Therefore I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it.

Reve 12:7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael [Daniel 12] and his messengers fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his messengers fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place/ topoV <5117> found for them in Heaven any longer.

IMHO,

Whether Jesus or Mary or anyone esle had or has a cousin or cousins doesn't have much relevance as to whether Mary makes us holy or not. Nor if the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity of Mary, Assumption of Mary are correct or not.


Just my $0.00


Pax!

And which book, chapter and verse may we find the word cousin in?

Okay since you asked. I didn't think I would have to offer proof, but again since you asked. Here:

Luke 1:36

"And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren."

I found that the Hebrew word for Elisabet is only found one time in the OC.

Elisabet (Strong's 1665) occurs 9 times in 8 verses: of Hebrew origin 0472 1) Aaron's wife

Elisabeth = "oath of God"

1) the wife of Zacharias and mother of John the Baptist, of the priestly family, and a relative of Mary, Lk. 1:36

Luke 1:36 and lo, Elisabeth, thy kinswoman, she also hath conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month to her who was called barren;

There is one verse containing the word 'Eliysheba` (Strong's 0472).

Elisheba = "my God has sworn" or "God is an oath"

Do you mean the Old Testament? I am unfamiliar with the abbriviation the O.C. That is unless we're talking about a tv show, . I'm curious. What does that mean? What do you understand that to mean? Please share with me your views.
