Ah then

Romans 3:10 has problems already because it says there not even one.

and

Woman does produce seed, only Male.

One more thing, When Jesus handed Mary over to John, saying here is your mother and she did refer her as Woman rather than Mother.

Doesn't this indicate Jesus cut off the ties as her Mother?

one more thing, I just got this.

talking about Simeon, Elizabeth, and Zechariah.

They diligently and probably religiously practice the OT Law but that doesn't mean they are without sin. IMO they are of no exception because there are others as well who practise OT law.

Back in the old testament people get clean by sacrificial killing of animals, in this sense they can be temporary clean but it can never wash away their sins. The stain of sin is still very much in them.

And they have to be very careful after being cleansed not to break any of the law because if just one law is broken, they are stained within that whole period.

It is done yearly. So every year as long as they do this, they can pronounced as temporary clean.

In this sense the word righteous refer as such.

It is not the complete righteous sense mention in Romans 3:10.

I can agree Mary is very much the loving type but still, I am convicted within, she's not as how you paint her to be divine, and as mother of God.

But rather convicted the opposite. I see her as normal as other Man and Woman of God.

And I believe it is human reasoning to say that To be a perfect vessel to carry God's only Son, She has to be free from Original Sin.

It contradicts Romans 3:10.

If you study the genealogy of Jesus, there's 4 Woman mention in the Bible.

To say that Mary needs to be free from the original Sin, the other genealogies have follow.

Because to say that She's an exception, then Romans 3:10 & Romans 3:23 are already flawed and not the truth and one can easily in turn explain, Jesus can be an exception too because He didn't came through the seed of Joseph.

The virgin birth cuts him for the need for a perfect vessel free of sin.

It is God's own seed.

and I forgot to add:
No one said Mary not needed Jesus for her salvation
Mary herself said, ‘My soul rejoices in God my savior’ in Luke 1:47. She clearly understood herself to be a sinner if she admits to needing a savior.
She was given the grace to be "saved" completely from sin so that she never committed even the slightest transgression.

It's contradiction bro. She cannot be both.

But what about "all have sinned" (Rom. 3:23) and "if any man says he has no sin he is a liar and the truth is not in him" (1 John 1:8)? Wouldn’t "all" and "any man" include Mary? On the surface, this sounds reasonable. But this way of thinking carried to its logical conclusion would list Jesus Christ in the company of sinners as well. No faithful Christian would dare say that. Yet no Christian can deny the plain texts of Scripture declaring Christ’s full humanity either. Thus, to take 1 John 1:8 in a strict, literal sense would apply "any man" to Jesus as well.

The truth is Jesus Christ was an exception to Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:8. And the Bible tells us he was in Hebrews 4:15: "Christ was tempted in all points even as we are and yet he was without sin." The question now is: Are there any other exceptions to this rule? Yes—millions of them.

Both Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:9 deal with personal rather than original sin. (Romans 5 deals with original sin.) And there are two exceptions to that general biblical norm as well.

To understand it again, let us look at it
Original sin is not something we do; it is something we’ve inherited.
Romans chapter three deals with personal sin because it speaks of sins committed by the sinner.
With this in mind, consider this: Has a baby in the womb or a child of two ever committed a personal sin? No.
To sin a person has to know the act he is about to perform is sinful while freely engaging his will in carrying it out.
Without the proper faculties to enable them to sin, children before the age of accountability and anyone who does not have the use of his intellect and will cannot sin.

So, there are and have been millions of exceptions to Romans 3:23 and 1 John 1:8.

Still, how do we know Mary is an exception to the norm of "all have sinned?" And more specifically, is there biblical support for this claim? Yes, there is much biblical support.

I gave them in the previous posts.
*
That's because Jesus is both Man and God at the same time. If Jesus was only Man, then what you proposed would be true.
As it is, it is not.

Personal sin and inherited sin are both sins. Whether you commit willingly or unconsciously it still comes from the root of inheritance.

And There is a problem with your explanation of babies. If they are indeed born pure and without sin, they would have no compulsion to sin when as they grow. As you said it, Original sin is not something we do; it is something we’ve inherited.

the Mother of God

even though she is not divine, like the divine DIVINE Triune God:

A woman is a man’s mother either if she carried him in her womb or if she was the woman contributing half of his genetic matter or both.
Mary was the mother of Jesus in both of these senses; because she not only carried Jesus in her womb but also supplied all of the genetic matter for his human body, since it was through her—not Joseph—that Jesus "was descended from David according to the flesh" (Rom. 1:3).

Since Mary is Jesus’ mother, it must be concluded that she is also the Mother of God: If Mary is the mother of Jesus, and if Jesus is God, then Mary is the Mother of God.
There is no way out of this logical syllogism, the valid form of which has been recognized by classical logicians since before the time of Christ.

Although Mary is the Mother of God, she is not his mother in the sense that she is older than God or the source of her Son’s divinity, for she is neither.
Rather, we say that she is the Mother of God in the sense that she carried in her womb a divine person—Jesus Christ, God "in the flesh" (2 John 7, cf. John 1:14)—and in the sense that she contributed the genetic matter to the human form God took in Jesus Christ.

To avoid this conclusion, Fundamentalists often assert that Mary did not carry God in her womb, but only carried Christ’s human nature.
This assertion reinvents a heresy from the fifth century known as Nestorianism, which runs aground on the fact that a mother does not merely carry the human nature of her child in her womb.
Rather, she carries the person of her child. Women do not give birth to human natures; they give birth to persons. Mary thus carried and gave birth to the person of Jesus Christ, and the person she gave birth to was God.

The Nestorian claim that Mary did not give birth to the unified person of Jesus Christ attempts to separate Christ’s human nature from his divine nature, creating two separate and distinctpersons—one divine and one human—united in a loose affiliation.
It is therefore a Christological heresy, which even the Protestant Reformers recognized. Both Martin Luther and John Calvin insisted on Mary’s divine maternity.
In fact, it even appears that Nestorius himself may not have believed the heresy named after him. Further, the "Nestorian" church has now signed a joint declaration on Christology with the Catholic Church and recognizes Mary’s divine maternity, just as other Christians do.

Since denying that Mary is God’s mother implies doubt about Jesus’ divinity, it is clear why Christians (until recent times) have been unanimous in proclaiming Mary as Mother of God.

The Church Fathers, of course, agreed, and the following passages witness to their lively recognition of the sacred truth and great gift of divine maternity that was bestowed upon Mary, the humble handmaid of the Lord.
anyway, I think thats enough? Because bro, like I said, we will find out when we enter Heaven.  biggrin.gif
*
But the fact remains that the Bible have never mentioned Mary as the mother of God.

The words are not there.

And most of the writing from RCC is always based on this word.

"it must be concluded"

Well who concludes it? tongue.gif

Exceptions of Romans 3: as I mentioned, can be referred to Mary too.
But if you insist everything is only about Christ Christ Christ, so be it.

Well I don't agree on this part, there is a reason for Jesus coming through genealogies of sinners even Mary.

Perhaps later when you're awake, if you wish I can explain it.

For the Church, Its based on this:

In Matthew 16:19 Jesus gives this authority over his Church to Peter: "Whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven."

In Matthew 18:18, he gives the power to all the apostles: "Amen, I say to you, whatever you bind on Earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on Earth shall be loosed in heaven."

I also must remind you that the Church cannot change its doctrines no matter how badly some theologians may want it to or how loudly they claim it can. The doctrines of the Catholic Church are the deposit of faith revealed by Jesus Christ, taught by the apostles, and handed down in their entirety by the apostles to their successors. Since revealed truth cannot change, and since the deposit of faith is comprised of revealed truth, expressed in Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the deposit of faith cannot change.

in RCC, every priest has the authority of Christ to "loose" (absolve) penitents from their sins through the sacrament of confession in the name of Christ (Jn 20:21-22, 2 Cor 5:18-20). The priest also has the obligation, in rare cases when he sees no evidence of contrition or an unwillingness on the part of the penitent to stop committing sin, to "bind" someone in their sins by refusing to grant him absolution until he evinces genuine contrition.

This teaching is based on the promise Christ gave to His Church in John 16:13 that the Holy Spirit would “guide you to all truth.”
This singling out of Peter to bestow on him an authority which is later to be given to all the apostles shows Peter's preeminence within the apostolic college. What the apostles as a whole possessed as leaders of the Church, Peter possessed as an individual.
The New Testament also says that The Church is the pillar and bulwark of Truth, not  scripture alone  (1Timothy 3:15). 
Paul says to hold fast to the Traditions he taught, either in writing or by word of mouth (2 Thessalonians 2:15)

the Pope’s primary mission is one of service to the people of God, to uphold the oneness of Christ’s Church.
It does not mean that the Pope is perfect. It also does not mean that the Pope knows everything.
Instead, “infallibility” only applies when the Pope speaks about solemn, official teachings on faith and morals.

smile.gif

in this, can comes many attacks from other ppl. But to me really, I see a beautiful thing:

Apostles Creed jointly created by the Apostles under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, with each of the twelve contributing one of the articles, was already current at that time.

The earlier text evolved from simpler texts based on Matthew 28:19

When we say weekly in Mass: I believe in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church for the Creed Profession of Faith

It means, we believe in Universal Church. Catholic means Universal.

Therefore throughout the world, everyday, every mass, everywhere, the RCC have the same readings , gospels, but sermons are by priests themselves to comment on the readings. In it I find universalism, uniformity, and it does not break. Thats me.

Doesnt matter la. We are all God's Children. You said so.  thumbup.gif

huh? That's not answering my question in the first part. rclxub.gif

geez anyway, to comment on this post of yours Both Matthew 16 and 18 are not only for priests but applies to any Christians.

This authorities of binding can be both, even for spiritual warfare.

I need to comment about this about only priest are allowed to comment on interpretation.

That is never true. Any Child of God who's open to the Holy Spirit can receive revelations of the Bible.

and that part on Romans 3 FYI: is answered by a RCC-turned baptist-back to RCC theologian.

Jesus Christ is the central focus no one else.

The Gospel is about Jesus Christ, no one else.

The Bible is really about God.

Not Mary, not the saints.

What did Paul say?


Philippians 3:7-11

But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.

Yes we all are. Regardless of denominations, we all are because of Jesus.

But I find RCC doctrines are a bit different in a sense, wrong teachings can cause people to be confuse.

For example in Matthew 18

You mentioned priest are the one who's able to forgive sin on behalf of Christ and you mention about binding and losing.

But the passage in Matthew 18:15-18

never indicated about Priest forgiving sinners.

It talks about a Christians who has done wrong to another Christian brethren. It's talking about disputes. And The scripture never specifically mentions only Priest.

Even in John 20:21-22, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20

I don't know why RCC takes that as to indicate only Priests can absolve penitents from their sins.

See what I mean?

I mentioned it, the early Church Founders concluded it, the Councils , and now, the Doctrine of Congregation of Faith lead by Cardinal *I dont know who* of one of the ministry in Vatican.
What they conclude, however cannot change the Scripture which is the truth, only to bring us deeper to the Truth.

Depositum fidei - deposition of faith that is to be preserved.

Revelation of God is perfect and complete with the gospels and Jesus Christ. The private revelations received by visionaries cannot improve on Gospels and no one is obliged to believe in them. But since Holy Spirit leads us deeper to the truth, they can help us understand the gospel better.

For RCCs, Their authenticity however, is to be tested by the church. Uniformity. unlike Jehovah or Mormons, Oh today is this, oh tomorrow is that.

Well that's the problem then. Like I said, the Scripture have no such words.

The Bible have never specifically mentioned Mary as the mother of God.

The words are not there.

I mean you cannot dispute that.

And to say Mary refers to the Ark of The Covenant?

I see no relevance in any way to Mary.

I do not see anything wrong in it. I just like to classify and subclassify a general thing. All minor details

Why do I get this feeling you're trying to differentiate between saints and born again believers as different? laugh.gif

Anyway, I don't see the relevance with the Body of Christ and the Main focus as what Paul said, I want to know Christ....

That scripture is to hint to you, the Gospel is really about Christ, no one else. Paul did not say I want to know Christ, Mary and all the great divine apostles.

Heck Paul rebuked some of the apostles for hypocrisy.

This is just the problem with Man. Yeah I mean sure the Bible mentions about Mary.

Don't forget, the Bible also mention about Satan. God's words have never ask anyone to worship him but to resist Him and you know what?

There are Satanic Church in existence.

There will be problem when anyone points to something that isn't there in the first place.

We get diverted. That is my only concern.

When He returns, you will realize there will be no denominations.

We all belong to Him.

All the denominations came to be, because God was at a point of restoring his Church, denomination by denomination.

Stage by Stage.

That is why, if you can heed this, I'm telling you, praying to the saints and RCC thing about Mary is something you can do without.

Of course you will not agree and I won't blame you.

Of course I'm sure you're fully aware all the protestants thinks you're practising heresy with regards to saints, Mary, rituals, etc but to be honest with you, in these last days, for me there are more pressing matters on hand.

God has given me a burden for lost sheep and hinted to me not worry unnecessary.

RCC was something I wanted to tackle but perhaps it may not be God's will for me to handle at the moment.

Because if it was, He would supply me the wisdom for me to speak out.

Though He did gave me 2 matters. Was thinking whether to bring it out to you or not.

It has very much to do with Mary's giving birth to Jesus and the word grace on her.


Added on December 5, 2012, 11:50 pmNo comments about RCC exorcism.

All I know, is that Jesus has given all of us authority to cast out demons.

But I believe you must know for sure your foundation of righteousness before even attempting.

Because if you don't know your foundation, you're minced meat.

We have not even began to comprehend the Magnitude of grace, what Jesus has done on the cross.

That subject alone hold wonder.

Well If God is willing, I've been itching to release one devotion on prayer.

I pray it will be this weekend.
