Evidence for God from Science

And to flip the coin, In Protestant churches people sit in pews and listen to a preacher, and believe things such as Sola Scriptura and Sola Fide, things that are not found in the Sacred Scriptures. And how many claim that the traditions of sitting in pews is equal to scritpure? I've never heard of...

Canuckster,

Thank you for your points.

Another note on Mary as the Mother of God: Theotokos comes from two greek words: "Theos," meaning God, and "tokos," which referrs to bearing a child. It is a reference to the Incarnation. It is a reference to God becoming Man. Only man needs a mother, and God became Man so He nee...

To mention would be to hijack. Suffice it to say it's the RCC making a point against Christianity's "sola scriptura".

It's also Eastern Orthodox Chistians that makes a point against Protestant's Sola Scriptura.

Don't tempt me on a similar bandwagon.

What do you mean?

RickD, That which is born of flesh is flesh. That which is born of spirit is spirit. And? The point is that person in her womb is God. That is why we say she gave birth to God. The one Person Who is divine and human dwelt in the womb of the Theotokos. As I said, all titles given to the Virgin Mary i...

The older threads are often the better ones in my opinion... only cause I was more active back then you see.

Great, thank you.

James, I'm not a mod here, and you are certainly welcome to dig up old threads. But did you happen to notice that this thread is five years old, and the person you are addressing is not an active poster here? I would suggest starting a new thread about water baptism, with perhaps a link to this thr...

RickD, I believe when people say that mary is the Mother of God, it puts Mary on a plane equal with God If we said she gave birth to God and that is how Almighty God came into being, then yes, it would not only make her equal to God, but greater than God. The article you posted is suggesting that th...

RickD, It is not the same thing. I asked JamesScott for biblical proof that anyone is supposed to talk to physically dead saints. I still haven't received any proof My point is an arguement against praying to saints is because we're not supposed to ask for intercession. But its the same thing when w...

Puritan Lad, 1.) Baptism is not necessary for salvation. If this were the case, then all Old Testament Saints would be doomed (as would the thief on the cross, to whom Jesus promised paradise.) I must disagree with you. The Old Testament saints were not able to be baptized, and the command to be bap...

I think most of you all here have gotten off track from my origional post, if anyone else wants to respond to my origional post feel free to do so, but if not, and this conversation still goes in the way it is going, in a week or so I may have to start this discussion over again with a fresh thread...

Hello all, I am a Byzantine Rite Catholic of the Ruthenian Catholic Church.. Any easterns here? God Bless I'm not Eastern Catholic, but I am Eastern Orthodox. In fact, before I converted I looked to see if there were any Eastern Catholic churches around here that I could pay a visit to. I didn't fi...

Gabrielman, Hm.... I didn't read through all of the things on this thread, lol maybe I should have as I feel in the dark. Is this about salvation, or prayers to saints? my poor little brain, recently has gone through too much! Yeah, I mentioned a belief that seems to be unpopular around here about s...
