@bvilleboiler @swamthetiber25 so Jesus is non existent until Mary gave birth to him?

Jesus is God. Mary is his mother. Therefore, Mary is the mother of God.
Indiana Brunner@IndianaBrunner
Theotokos literally means “God bearer” Mary WAS the God bearer. Many seem insistent that I MUST say “Mary IS the mother of God” I’ll gladly say Mary was the God bearer. Thank you, Have a good rest of your day.

@ebound @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal you don’t ask human to enlighten you, ask the Holy Spirit and He will guide you.

He didn’t say;
“This represents my body.”
He didn’t say;
“This symbolizes my body.”
He said;
“This IS my body.”

@ebound @SambucusNemesis @thattradgal that’s why catholics are lost, you tend to quote bible verses without context. Read the entire chapter 6 for better understanding.
English
@McBrideLawNYC @Craney_85 @ReaperII7 @TaylorRMarshall nothing to debate Joe, because catholics like you when cornered by scripture, you will quote your “church fathers” tonprove your point 🥴 that is why you are allergic to sola scriptura right?

Protestants: “Ew! Y'all claim to eat the Body of Christ! That's cannibalism! Not biblical!”
Catholics: “Cannibalism is eating a dead human. Jesus Christ is now alive! Resurrected! This is why Jesus taught:
Amen, amen, I say unto you: except you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. (Jn 6:54)
If you want His resurrected life, you must eat His Eucharistic Body. He said so.

@KeithNester1 this is what your reasoning becomes when you knew the truth but chose to convert to paganism 😆🤣

“The veil was torn” and Jesus said “It is finished.” Therefore you don’t need to obey His commands.

@Q4w5e6r7 @BibleInContext1 when a catholic cant find a good rebuttal they will just settle for an insult 😆
English
@BibleInContext1 @BibleInContext1 claims to be a Bible scholar, yet he has no published theological works in any peer reviewed scholarly journal. He also claims to be an ex-Catholic, receiving all sacraments including marriage in the church, yet no corroborating evidence exists. He is a fraud.

In Luke 1:28, Gabriel says to Mary:
“Χαῖρε, κεχαριτωμένη, ὁ Κύριος μετὰ σοῦ.” - chaire, kecharitōmenē, ho kyrios meta sou
The Latin Vulgate, translated by Jerome, renders it:
gratia plena = “full of grace”
This translation became standard in Catholic tradition. The Greek Does NOT literally say “full of grace”
There is no Greek word for “full” (like plērēs) in the text
It does not describe Mary as a source or reservoir of grace
The Greek doesn’t say Mary is “full of grace”—it says she has been graced. That’s very different.
→ Translated “Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” (ESV) or “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” (NIV).
The verb chaire literally means “rejoice!” or “be glad.” It was also a common Greek salutation, roughly like saying “Greetings” or “Hello,” but with a tone of goodwill.

@LizzieMarbach @PryncessElf @farmingandJesus @CatholicFides @BreeSolstad Plērēs Charitos is grace as a powerful but temporary filling of God's divine life — His own nature and being — poured into a soul for a specific mission or moment. Stephen received this grace as God's divine life actively working through him to preach and perform miracles.
@BibleInContext1 Reposting. And the Protestant butchering of “It is Finished” is tiresome to the point of becoming a meme. Good luck with your $1,000 Bible course grift.

@grok this knucklehead asserts the Eucharist as a symbol based on Scriptures. Based on Jesus’s doubling down on the literal meaning of consuming His flesh (“this is a hard teaching”), his declaration of “this IS my body and blood;” the fact that John declared “Behold the Lamb of God” and Jews had to actually eat the sacrificial lamb to be saved at Passover; and that on the road to Emmaus the disciples “came to know Him in the breaking of the bread,” with Paul finally declaring that consuming the Eucharist unworthily brings condemnation, he doesn’t appear to show any actual evidence for his specious claims. Evaluate the passages I presented in light of his symbol view. As Flannery O’Connor says, if it’s a symbol, to hell with it.
English
Millions of Catholics today believe
that a priest has the power… to bring Christ down from heaven…
to offer Him again… and again…
on an altar.
But Scripture says Christ was offered once for all.
Jesus said, “It is finished.”
Realize that the idolatry of the Eucharist cannot exist… without the blasphemy of the Mass.
So today we’re going to open the Bible…
and look at what Catholicism actually teaches…
and test everything… against the Word of God.
Because this is not a small error…
this is the difference between true worship… and idolatry.

@valerie_reads Trend? 🤣 you and other catholics here are just an echo chamber. Catholics are declining for decades, specially in Asia.
English
As a person who became a Catholic one click before it was cool, I would like to say to anyone considering becoming a Catholic: don’t be put off because now it’s a trend.
Ignore everything and come.

@theistinthought @IFFFMEISTER catholic can just assumed you know. That’s why they are allergic to sola scriptura, they value their story telling of their chruch fathers than the Bible 😆
English
@IFFFMEISTER I don’t think the NT says or implies that?
English
The thief on the cross is not an exception to baptism. He literally died with Christ and was baptized by the water from His side
English
@IFFFMEISTER yeah right, that is why it’s fun to become catholic that dont believe in sola scriptura so that you can just assume what’s happened 🤣 oh very convenient 😂
English
@Sachinettiyil Nope! that’s an old stat. Catholics are decreasing in the Philippines for the past decades. Thank God, the Gospel is being preached by born agin christians and lots of Filipinos are guided to Christianity by the Holy Spirit

First Holy Communion in the Philippines
Over 85 million people in the country identify as Catholic

@WorldVideo49043 @BishopJaxi so catholic Holy spirit is not Omnipresent? what a blasphemy
English
@BishopJaxi The Catholic Trinity：
- One Father
- One Son (Jesus Christ)
- One Holy Spirit
The Protestant Trinity：
- One Father
- One Son (Jesus Christ)
- 40000 Holy Spirit
😂😂

Who decides what "true faith" is? Who defines the "true Christ"? Who identifies the "true gospel"?
In Protestantism, the answer is always the same: the individual, appealing to his own interpretation of Scripture, and however he feels that day.
"Faith alone" functionally becomes: "faith, as I personally define it, in the Christ and gospel as I personally declare them to be."
This is why they all run around shouting "faith alone" while continually fracturing into thousands of contradictory sects.
English
@BishopJaxi @SonsofLiberty72 lols you catholics are just assuming that protestants once saved can sin all the time and be saved. You always ignore the works of the Holy Spirit. You are offended to Sola Fide because your doctrine teaches you a work based salvation.
English
@SonsofLiberty72 Too bad your view is not binding on any other Protestant.

@kingofthehood89 @LJersey77 @WWUTTcom so do you think in God’s eye, child molesting is bigger sin than just lusting a woman?

@LJersey77 @WWUTTcom lol whatever man, whoever reads this thread will see you defending child molesters as automatically heaven bound if they said some magic words and see the stupidity for what it is

@RabbitsJustice @lukemoon1 @ShaneSchaetzel lols, here in Asia, Catholicism is dying, praise God! Protestants are doing a good job introducing the Gospel. Unlike in RCC, priests just want you to do this, do that to be favored by Lord.
English
@lukemoon1 @ShaneSchaetzel Old statistics. Christ is calling his own unto himself.

The bishops of the Catholic Church have no idea what is coming and they are completely unprepared for it. American Protestantism is collapsing. “Spiritual but not religious” doesn’t work. And Generation Z has figured it out. Catholicism is their primary destination now.👇🏻

How to be Protestant:
Get a Bible.
Delete 7 books to save on printing costs.
Skim the rest.
Take note of the word "you."
When it says something nice about you, it means "you personally."
When it criticizes you, it means "other people, probably Catholics."
That's it.

@LGgentilette @timotheeology “Flesh” here = human understanding / natural thinking (like elsewhere in Scripture: “the flesh” vs “the Spirit”).
So He’s saying:
“You’re trying to understand this on a merely human level—you need the Spirit.”

I still can't believe Protestantism exists.

@m36509785 @Mouseygirl100 @Liz_Wheeler yeah because you catholics always ignore the power of the Holy Spirit. Heck, you even value mary more than the Holy Spirit
English
@Mouseygirl100 @Liz_Wheeler But you're relying on your own interpretation of His Word. You become your own highest authority, and your own Pope
English
When the Pope makes questionable comments, it makes me GRATEFUL to be Catholic.
Because the Pope has no authority to unilaterally change Catholic dogma with his pastoral comments.
The Pope speaks in two ways, pastorally and rarely, infallibly (called ex Cathedra, which requires a certain set of specific circumstances as the Pope acknowledges, not invents, a doctrinal interpretation). The latter almost never happens.
That’s important— His comments today are in his pastoral capacity. He wasn’t speaking ex Cathedra. Catholics aren’t required to agree with his opinions.
It’s annoying for sure, I wish the Pope was a wiser leader on matters of politics.
But I’m SO grateful to be Catholic because imagine he were the leader of a Prot church—he could change doctrine based on his own faulty opinions at a whim. That’s not the case with Catholicism.
Grateful to God for His Church that remains as it always was and always will be despite the turmoil of the world and the sins of man. 🙏🏼
