Although the immaculate conception was only proclaimed dogmatic in 1854...

Deuteronomy 4:2 "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."

Is the Immaculate Conception of Mary in the Bible?

Re: Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians

What does that prove? People have claimed to have had visions of Shiva, Allah, or various other deities and to have received revelations from those deities. Do you believe those as well?

Those religions center around different false gods. They do not center around Jesus as their God, and hence, are not Christian. Catholicism, however, is the religion of Christ. I'm not here to debate semantics on every catholic dogma. I am here to defend the Catholic church as Christian. It may not be landoverbaptist, but it is indeed Christian.
If you deny that Catholicism is a Christian religion, please define Christianity for me, so that I may see the error of my papist wayssss.

Re: Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians

St. Gregory wrote about the Assumption in the 6th century. St. John Damscene wrote about it in the 8th. By the 13th century, most Catholics accepted the belief of the Assumption. It was recently made dogmatic, but again, Catholic Tradition often comes before the penning of Catholic dogma.

So was it forgotten about for 600 years? Or do you REALLY believe that it was an oral tradition for all that time and nobody could be bothered to write it down .

Isn't it more likely that a mary worshiper made it up?

Which is contrary to Hebrews 10:10. Catholics believe in transubstantiation, that the wafer and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ, which was offered ONCE [for all], not every Wed. Fri. and twice on Sun.

Not on Friday--that's Bingo time.

It's like I said in my first post on the immaculate conception, you people don't have the slightest intention of reading my posts. You only want me to post catholic beliefs so that you fools on the other end of the keyboard can spew your own beliefs. I'm fine if you're a baptist, but only if you're fine with my being a catholic.

Of course the conception was immaculate. Do you really think God would have sex with a swarthy middle-eastern Israelite? Those women didn't (don't) even shave.

For me it hasn't been a case of Baptist v catholic. I have only given opinions from the word of God and Jesus Christ, where have you got your ideas from?

They've been making it up as they go along for so long they can no longer tell the difference.

Unbeliever of your specific sect of the Christian religion? Or someone who doesn't believe in God at all? I must point out-- again-- that I am Catholic, and thus believe in God. Also, since you take the bible so literally, I should point out that you must accept anyone if you want that good ol' baptist version of heaven. 1 John 3:15-16 makes it pretty clear.

Well you don't believe in God. You believe in something quite similar to God that some people made up but turned into a pastiche of pagan beliefs so as to sit better with European culture of the time then went all intellectual theology college on then tried to revamp and hide the blatant pedophilia (but failed) for the modern era...

Where were we again?

Oh yes: you don't actually believe in God but a convenient made up construct that's convenient for keeping the deluded happy.

We prefer our God to be honest as per the Bible (which is entirely factual and not made up at all - you have to agree), thanks!

I am honored to be conversing with a man with whom God himself has shared his thoughts and feelings. Unless you are talking about the Bible, in which case you're not so special. I have a bible. I can also read it. However, I can't just interpret it any way I want. Lucky for you, your boy Luther made up that everyone can have their own accurate interpretation of the Bible. Unfortunately for me, I have remained tethered to the church which compiled and finalized the canon of the very bible which you use. The bible that you are using against Catholics, was compiled and edited by Catholics themselves.

Re: Why Roman Catholic Papists Are NOT Christians

Yes, and yours centers on a false goddess based very loosely on Mary as described in the Bible.

They do not center around Jesus as their God, and hence, are not Christian. Catholicism, however, is the religion of Christ. I'm not here to debate semantics on every catholic dogma. I am here to defend the Catholic church as Christian. It may not be landoverbaptist, but it is indeed Christian.
If you deny that Catholicism is a Christian religion, please define Christianity for me, so that I may see the error of my papist wayssss.

A Christian is someone who believes in Jesus Christ, God's only begotten Son (John 3:16-18), and does the will of the Father in Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). If you believe in Mary as mediatrix, then you deny that Jesus is Who the Bible says He is (1 Timothy 2:5) and thus deny Him. If you believe in the continuing sacrifice of the Mass, then you deny that Jesus accomplished what the Bible says He accomplished (Hebrews 10:10) and thus deny Him. If you bow to statues or icons of Mary, you are not doing the will of the Father in Heaven (Exodus 20:4-6).

Your turn. How do you define a Christian? Are Mormons Christians under your definition?

How are you our brother? Also, what do you make of the following:

Psalm 139:21-22: Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.

I don't interpret it it. I read it and follow it.

Try it.
