>Everything in there and the whole New testament is all about Christ.
And everything about Mary is ultimately about Christ. As I have already said, we believe she was given graces by God in virtue of her role in relation to Christ. But you are denying those graces she was bestowed upon out of superstition. There is no idolatry in acknowledging the works of God in Mary. She is the new Eve and the mother of all those who believe Christ after all.

>kεχαριτωμένη is not about the essence of Mary but work of God
It is about the essence of Mary, given to her by God. Catholics don't mean that she saved herself, it was still God who saved her. But her saved her since the moment she was born, so that a sinless vessel could give birth to the Son.
> Same word is used in Ephesians 1:6 as Gods act of giving Christ to our salvation
Exactly. But she was saved and was judged as such with the term "graced" before Jesus was born into the world. Therefore her salvation, although it comes from God, was not achieved through the crucifixion, but God simply willed it.
>Mary is only in the recieving role there
We agree, but this still makes our view of the immaculate conception and her sinlessness true.

>>75677561
We are discussing the original greek here. Even 5000 translations would be meaningless. in front of it

>>75677903
>Saying she was sinless = equating her with Jesus
not at all. I have already explained that her worth was in her obedience to God, but she didn't make herself sinless. Actually, the immaculate conception is a perfect understanding of this: if mary was not conceived immaculately, that could open to interpretations that she saved herself, which would be ludicrious. But since she was saved since the moment of her conception, by the will of God, it's impossible to attribute to her an active role in her sinlessness, and only an active role in preserving that sinlessness with her obedience to God.

And I support that. I realized a while back (after a year or two long phase of anti theism) that just because I can handle it, doesn't mean others can. Not everyone is going to be rational or consider all things. So if they're going to be religious, I'd rather them be Christian.

Not true, Mary was saved through obediance when she answered: “Truly I am the Lord's servant. Let everything you have said happen to me.” Abraham, David and other prophets were also saved because they believed in God and His promise.

We're all massive sinners, Anon. None of us deserve to be saved. It is by God's grace alone, through Christ's crucifixion, death and resurrection, that we are saved. Faith in this alone is what saves us, not our works. You are not beyond salvation.

Of course, we must strive to be like Christ, to sin less, thereby making our faith easier to hold, estranging ourselves less from God. Christ fulfilled the law, and brought forgiveness of sins, but seeking to fulfill the law lets God into your life here and now, lets Him work through you. So, know you are forgiven, and sin no more, lest a worse thing happen to you and you lose faith because of your sins.

The self-righteous supremacy of the Papacy is heresy in and of itself, based around a gross misinterpretation of Matthew 16:18 (Christ Himself, faith in Christ, is the rock of the Church, the name 'Peter' meant rock, it's a play on words).

Nonetheless, why would a Christian follow a heretic? St. Paul said we should not be yoked with unbelievers. The Papacy, the Cardinals are the modern Pharisees.

>Bible never teaches that Mary was born without sin
What do you mean by teach? Obviously we have enough scriptural evidence to believe it

>the doctrine is not required for birth of Jesus
I think there are many more arguments as to why Jesus would logically be born out of a pure vessel than for the opposite.

> It is clearly in the Bible that Christ is the source of purity and cannot be tainted
None of that is denied by accepting that Mary was sinless. Her sinlessness has its source from Jesus too. Without Jesus she wouldn't have been made pure since her conception. But she was sinless before the crucifixion.

>Mary was saved through obediance when she answered:
> “Truly I am the Lord's servant. Let everything you have said happen to me.”
Wrong. She is already called "graced" before she answers with that sentence. She is therefore already saved beforehand. Her yes is of course fundamental as an inversion of the disobedience by Eve.
I suggest you reflect on what is said right before that sentence:
>For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Nothing is impossible with God, certainly not letting Mary be conceived without sin.

Very impressed. However I'm speaking of forms of theism rather than religions as a whole. As you probably know, there are conflicting forms of theism within these groups often too (For example, theistic personalism v. classical theism in Christianity). I'm asking how experienced you are with different forms of understanding divinity's ontology. It seems like you've gotten into that a little bit but at the same time I know many people conceive "gods" or "deities" to be a class of being to themselves when they are umbrella terms for a lots of different things so I have to ask.

You'll first have to understand that Apostolic Christianity understands the soul as synonymous with the Aristotelian idea of substantial forms rather than the Enlightenment idea of "immaterial matter" that you see Descartes teach.

There are lots of new discourse on substantial forms themselves.
This is the first google result on the matter.

Pure bullshit and utter lies. Roman catholic are heretics, after the great Schism at 1054 they split form the Orthodox Catholic Church who the 12 disciples of Jesus followed.
This is common knowledge.

Orthodox Catholic - 12 disciplies of Jesus followed, unchanged form

Roman catholic - Could buy Gods forgiveness with money, obviously treason.

Protestantism protested against Rome and that you could pay money to a priest for your sins. They are wrong but somewhat opposed the heretic Roman church.

This can very well be interpreted that God took the decision of sanctifying him before he was born, and not the act of sanctification itself

I don't know the Etimology of the original word used 2bh. I do feel like you are twisting Scripture by tring to create a parallel here. This is a verse from the OT and unless you give me evidence of it, there is no proof that the word "sanctify" here is a direct parallel to the word "graced" in the NT.

Furthermore, if you started using OT events as proof for NT events (in the literal way you are doing) then you would have no problem accepting the fact that the Virgin Mary was assumed into heaven, since it has already happened to prophets in the OT and she is more important than them in virtue of her relationship with Christ.

The most important part of being Christian is to love God.

Through genuine love of God all else flows. That is how we find it in us to repent. It is how we come to love and respect others. It is how we learn to fear God. It is how we learn to live our lives fearlessly.

As the world crumbles around us, remember that God is with us.

I dont believe that either Mary or Jeremiah were born sinless but were chosen for task beforehand. I chose this verse as an example because if you claim that Mary was born without sin, then you have scriptural oblication to believe same for Jeremiah which takes the foundation from cult of Mary.

They're protestant, then they deny the sacraments' efficacy saying it's symbolic rather than the way you receive this grace, then around the end of the 19th century there was a series of Protestant lay movements (Revivals called the "Great Awakenings") that grew baptists in size tremendously but also had the ignorant teaching the ignorant which muddled up their understanding of the core ideas of Christianity. This is where things like 'Biblical Literalism' comes from.


>>75680617
Well first it's important to run through what we mean by the fruits.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruit_of_the_Holy_Spirit

>Catholic tradition follows the Vulgate in listing 12 fruits: charity, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, generosity, gentleness, faithfulness, modesty, self-control, chastity.


And, while I'm just assuming here, would I be right to see your comment "that I am accountable before him" in a penal sense?

While you're not wrong technically, I think you come at it wrong if you're taking it in that sense. Personally, I find this view is best understood with the classic idea of innate purpose. God creates all things and creates it with purpose. To follow that purpose is to follow your nature and is to follow God's will. Thus through God's will we find our own fulfillment and our 'true selves'. As we are free to act out of that will given our free will, deviations out of that purpose are what we call sin. This is why the term "sin" translates to something akin to "to miss". It is a privation of good rather than something that actually exists.

As I have already pointed out, the context of the verses is different, and posting a series of synonyms does not in any way give us more insight into the usage of the terms.

> I chose this verse as an example because if you claim that Mary was born without sin, then you have scriptural oblication to believe same for Jeremiah which takes the foundation from cult of Mary.
You are wrong, and you have proven yourself wrong.
Among the 36 synonyms you have found, there is no trace of neither the word "grace" and the word "favored" that have been used to translate the Greek word the angel used when referring to Mary.
Obviously the two words have different implication and meaning.
You are tryin to disprove something that Scripture shows us plainly and clearly, by scavenging verse after verse in pursuit of a way to falsify it. If this isn't twisting Scripture, I don't know what is, 2bh

Part 2/2

Our relationship with God is literally that of coming to terms with our own nature so to find that fulfillment. Now what our ultimate purpose is (not going into the individual purposes of the parts of ourselves) is to love. To dedicate one's self towards love. Now to understand this I must warn that we're not speaking of romantic love or parental or brotherly love nor explicitly nice, but rather what the Greeks would call "Agape" - to will the good of the other without self-interest. This is what our lives are best dedicated towards and the fulfillment of humanity. This is also the love referred to when speaking of "God's love" and many theologians craft lots of writing over the parallel between God's love and our purpose.

The view that God would only give you what you can take has no bearing on Apostolic Christianity. God always directs all things to himself but sometimes a heart must be broken for it to open up. To seek God falls hand-in-hand with seeking your good and opening yourself up to your own nature rather.

Anon I think the point ayyyythiests miss is that the stories of the bible aren't supposed to be taken as 100% true fact.
The stories of the bible hold heavy literate themes in them for there time period. For example, in the story of Adam & Eve, it describes that because of staying straight edge, safe, and disciplined, Adam & Eve were able to live immortal and happy and free among the lush green garden. But then because the devil, (The figure that represents all that Christianity is against) tricks Eve into giving into her desires she eats the fruit, feels really really good, and gets Adam to come over and try to. But then they soon feel guilty that they gave into their primal desires and went against the wishes of God.(The benevolent being that represents freedom, discipline, and love) And became mortal human beings who could bleed and feel fear and hurt.
It's themes like these that Ayyythiest fags will automatically turn to and say, "HAHA STUPID RELIGIOUS FAGGOTS DON'T YOU KNOW THAT SCIENTIFIC-" And then they go on to explain their reasoning as to why they are intellectually superior blah blah blah.
But that is the reason behind the Bible stories essentially speaking. That's why the Adam & Eve story is always first in the Bible it's because it shares the principles of what to do and what not to do as a follower of Christ.

I just wish for you to find out what you will see if you don't repent. Btw, visions of hell among catholic mystics have been very coherent throughout history. For example, the fact that in hell everything is dark but you can see other damned and the demons tormenting you is confirmed by Our Lady of Fatima to the vision of hell she gives to the 3 portoguese children. I really hope you will watch the video, and that sooner or later you'll repent.

>You are the ones twisting the scripture
There is a direct correlation between the two usages of the word in the NT.
Finding a similar word in the OT, that is used in a poetical verse in a different context, and does not even imply the same meaning, to deny that plain meaning of a word in the NT is pure twisting of Scripture.
>Favored does not mean "born sinless" but elect for task.
Favored is not a literal translation. The literal one would be "graced". Even if we took "favored" for good, it would not change that its usage later on as the description of those who are saved through the sacrifice of Jesus makes its meaning to be "one who is without sin". So you can even translate it as "violin" or whatever word you come up with to distort Scripture, but the meaning and the implications of it are clear.
> The essence of grace in Luke 1 is God giving Christ to world, not Mary being born without sin
It is both. There is no logical reason, nor evidence as to why it should be only one of them
>which is pure speculation.
It is not though. Scripture speaks clearly about Mary's sinlessness. Whether you like it or not.
