If Mary was at a point greater than the almighty God then that explains why you guys worship and adore her.

Oh, i believe the bible that says Jesus had the fullness of the godhead so he was never lacking in knowledge as to who he is or in power.

Even in His childhood? undecided

IT SEEMS U DIDNT SEE WHAT U POSTED


your scholars clearly state that JESUS COULD NOT CEASE BEING GOD, I.E there was no time when Jesus wasnt God even in the womb of mary.

Selective reading indeed. Did you miss the preceding sentence where it said the following?:

"He was not fearful of losing His deity when He exchanged the outward form of God for the outward form of man; that is, He did not have to cling to His deity as a robber would his plunder."

Matt. 2:11

And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Did the wise men commit Idolatory in the passage above?

No. Remember, it was not obvious who Jesus was before arriving here on earth. The wise men could discern through diligent studying and meditating on the Scriptures, see who Jesus really was, that He was God who became a man so as to make men become the sons of God.

Show me any one that said she isn't the mother of God.

No one said Mary isn't the mother of God because it would be preposterous to suggest that she was in the first place. cool

None of these statements appear in the old testament..
Even Jesus quoted a statement not found in the old testament in John 7:38

but they appear in other non-canonized books...
Are the also non-inspired?

Even in the old testament there are cases like these...some books are/were considered the word of God but are not in your bible...eg The acts of solomon

Actually u can connect d whole person of Christ to time even his divine nature! About 2000yrs ago God decided to be with man immanuel, God took flesh in mary's womb, God was born by a virgin, God walked the earth, and becos flesh cannot pay my ransom God who took flesh died, God rose again. so yes God can be pinpointed in history, he came to live with us, if we had d immanuel (God with us) then he was certainly born by a virgin.
you should have addressed my posts. I told you Jesus the man is different from God do you agree?

Whether or not reincarnation is myth, my point still stands, a woman of 30 can claim that her daughters spirit is 100yrs old and she will still be a mother, because the test of motherhood is offspring not preexistence.
if two women comes to you and one is 40 and the other is 20 who is likely going to be the mother and why do you think so? If pre existence is not a test for motherhood.
If a woman claim her daughter spirit is 100years old it must mean she had other mothers behofore who do you think will be the rightful mother?

Jesus is Jesus, stop this nonsense and foolish argument, u whip up insane theory just to please ur argument..... When Jesus died God the son died and was raised up three days after for u and I.............. Yes God the son died, if Thts what u can't bear to say, he died for u and for me so that we can hVe life, thts was Gods purpose on earth...........

Pls stop twisting the bible and propagating heretic messages just to defend ur foolish and stupid argument. Pls look for another argument, because this one is so stupid has no scriptural backing

Jesus is Jesus.... So when Christ died and was raised was it God D man or God d God that arose.... because he arose with his flesh... So what the hell are u talking about

I Know what ur problem is, u can't just imagine Mary a woman bin the mother of God.....well Jesus is God and Mat
Mary is his mother...... Deal with it!!!!!!....

Even Elizabeth called her the "mother of My LORD!!!!!!!"... Not the mother of Man Jesus, so we're r u getting this theory from, from ur twisted mind I guess

So your answer is NO they didn't commit Idolatry. This can only be true if they worshiped God and not man, that's why I am not sure of your position in this, because up there, in your reply to Ubenedictus, you don't believe Jesus was God as a child. Now in your reply to me, you agree that the wise men worshiped him (infant Jesus) as God. Ayam not understanding o

Jesus didn't quote those books as authority. Jesus also command his disciples to pay tax.Jesus wanted his disciples to obey authority.


the idea that a rock followed the israelites..is not in the old testament....only found in oral jewish tradition...
the rock that Paul was talking about was christ not physical rock.

this statement is gotten from The Book Of Jasher..
So the author of timothy this book to be ''scripture''
I never said there was no other book but the bible today is the only book given by God.


directly lifted from the book of enoch

there may be book of Enoch but there is no evidence that it exist it may just be prophecy that was passed down generations orally.

this is gotten from an extrabiblical work called ''the assumption of moses''
there is no evidence


the lack of rain for three years and six months..is not stated in the old testament
it is but number of years was not stated.

It is a questioning of your statement that everybook besides the ones in your pentecostal bible is forged or uninspired..
I didn't tell you there are no other books.

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
