nothing there saying Mary is free from original sin,
or more importantly there is nothing in the Bible that supports your heresy,
or that Mary is to be prayed to,
or that Mary is divinity etc. etc. etc.

all u can post is the words of evil men who hate God's Inspired word-the Bible,
u have been blinded:

2Co_4:4  In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
The Apostles Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, (Mt 5 :45)
Creator of heaven and earth, (Gen 1:1; Rom 1:20)
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, (Mt 3:17; Phil 2:12)
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, (Lk 1:35)
born of the Virgin Mary, (Lk 2:7)
suffered under Pontius Pilate, (Jn 19:16)
was crucified, died, and was buried. (Jn 19:29 – 42)
He descended into hell; (1 Pet 3:19 – 20)
on the third day He rose again from the dead, (Mt 28:1-10; Jn 20:11-18)
He ascended in heaven, (Lk 24:51)
and sits at the right hand of God, (Heb 1:3)
the Father almighty; (Mk 14:36)
from thence He shall come again (Mt 16: 27; Acts 10:39)
to judge the living and the dead. (1 Cor 15: 51)
I believe in the Holy Spirit, (Jn 14:15 – 20; Acts 1:7 – cool
the Holy Catholic Church, (Mt 16:18 – 19; Eph 5:26-27; Col 1:24)
the communion of Saints, (Mt 28:19 – 20; 2 Cor 11:13; 1 Cor 15: 33)

the forgiveness of sins, (Jn 20:22 – 23)
the resurrection of the body, (1Cor 15:51 – 54; 1 Thes 4:13 – 18)
and life everlasting. (1 Jn 5:20)

Amen.

ha ha original sin is passed on to all, not just men,
read my post where I gave scriptures, not that u believe them.


Christians believe God's inspired word, however u continue to believe the devil through the rcc
all have sinned, not Jesus

truly Jesus is not a sinner:

1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

In Him is no sin

Heb 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

Jesus was without sin, Mary wasn't according to the God Inspired Bible
go back and read the verses I posted
if original is passed on to all(I AGREE),JESUS CHRIST had original sin which makes him a sinner,which negates YOUR scripture quote.now this was the grace in which mary was filled with when the angel gabriel said,hail highly favoured one.
Catholic's believes in God's inspired word through his words and prophets and in the church teachings.
JESUS was born of a woman(flesh and blood),so it meant he had to have original sin.how did he overcome that part?

u r full of lies, the whole paragraph was not needed, and those verses are about Jesus, not Mary sitting at the right hand of Father

still waiting for u to post verses showing that Mary sits at the right hand of Father or son,
do it now u hear

Mat 22:44  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 

Psa 110:1  A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.

They are about Jesus sitting at the right hand of Father, they are not about Mary cheesy

Fashion › The World's Most Expensive Shoe by blackbriar(op): 1:48pm On Jul 27, 2017
The ones thrown at US President George W. Bush!


In 2008, during a Iraqi press conference which Bush was conferring with then Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, an enraged reporter hurls his shoes, one after another, towards a stunned Bush.

Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi was listening to his speech when Bush's words pissed him off. Like a dramatic scene, Bush dodges the shoes neatly and the bodyguards immediately jumps onto the reporter.

When news got out, many similarly disgruntled people hailed him as a hero. The bigger hero though were his shoes and apparently, a Saudi businessman offered a whopping US$10 million to buy the shoes thrown by al-Zaidi.

culled from Quora

(In addition, Ramazan Baydan, the maker of the shoes, got a windfall when they received orders for 300,000 pairs in a single week!

well u did get the encyclical from the right source as it was edited to show mary sits at the right hand of God. a simple google or visit to the vatican website shows the write phrase.

Quoting Pope Pius IX in Ineffabilis Deus, Pius X reiterated that, "Jesus "sitteth on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Hebrews i. b.). Mary sitteth at the right hand of her Son - a refuge so secure and a help so trusty against all dangers that we have nothing to fear or to despair of under her guidance, her patronage, her protection.

Summary of Roman Catholic Teachings about Mary


Mary holds a very high position in the Roman Catholic Church, so much so that she is like a goddess. Even though Roman Catholics will not agree with the statement of goddess-like abilities, the fact remains that Mary is highly exalted.

According to Roman Catholicism, Mary is "the all-holy ever-virgin Mother of God" (Catechism of the Catholic Church, hereafter referred to as "CCC" 721), the "Queen over all things" (CCC 966), our "Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix" (CCC 969), who is "full of grace" (CCC 722), the "Mother of God and our mother" (CCC 2677), the "new Eve" (CCC 726), and the "seat of wisdom" (CCC 721). She had no original sin (CCC 508), and never committed sin (CCC 493). She is second only to her Son" (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church, par. 66) and sits "on the right hand of the majesty on high" (Pope Pius X, Ad Diem Illum Laetissimum, 14). In fact, "no man goeth to Christ but by His Mother" (Pope Leo 13th, Octobri Mense). It was Mary who "crushed the poisonous head of the most cruel serpent and brought salvation to the world" (Pope Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus). It is she who "delivers our souls from death" (CCC 966), and "continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation" (CCC 969). "Mary, by her spiritual entering into the sacrifice of her divine son for men, made atonement for the sins of man," (Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma4, Ott, page 213). Therefore, we can "entrust all our cares and petitions to her" (CCC 2677), "give ourselves over to her now" (CCC 2677), "pray to her" (CCC 2679), and have devotion to her (CCC 971). She was "taken up body and soul into the glory of heaven" (CCC 974). When speaking of the Church, "we can find no better way to conclude than by looking to Mary," (CCC 972). In her, the church is holy (CCC 867). "Mary is the Church's model of faith and charity" (CCC 967). Finally, in paradise the church gathers "around Jesus and Mary" (CCC 1053).
The Bible says,

"Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other." (1 Cor. 4:6).

Has the Roman Catholic Church exceeded the scope of scripture with its teaching about Mary? Absolutely, yes!

What is a wrong attribute about mary in that write up?

ISN'T SHE FULL OF GRACE luke 1:46-55?
ISN'T SHE THE MOTHER OF GOD THE SON,WHO IS GOD?
ISN'T SHE THE NEW EVE PROMISED AT THE FALL OF MAN luke 2:35?
MARY GRACE WAS FROM ORIGINAL SIN NOT ACTUAL SIN.

johnw74:
rcc say mary had no original sin,

which is said nowhere in God's written word,
however God's word says all have sinned:

Rom 3:23  For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Rom 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

Rom 3:9  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

Gal 3:22  But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

1Jn 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

1Jn 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.


Rom 5:19  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
SIN is divided into two Original sin(sin of adam that condems all men born of a woman as sinners) and actual sin.
HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE(THE GRACE FORM ORIGINAL SIN)......if mary had original sin that makes JESUS a sinner.

roman catholicism claim that Mary sits on the right hand of the majesty on high,

Nil u say emman, u say roman catholicism doesn't have Mary sitting on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
u keep saying lies, they come naturally to u

Joh_8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

satan is the father of lies-liars

@bold, means: when the devil speaks a lie he is speaking naturally,
u take after him-your father

rcc say that Mary sits "on the right hand of the majesty on high"
that is no where said in the Holy Scriptures,
however the Bible shows that Jesus Christ sits "on the right hand of God"

Mat_22:44  The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

Mar_16:19  So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

Col_3:1  If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Heb_1:3  Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;

Heb_8:1  Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

Heb_10:12  But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Heb_12:2  Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1Pe_3:22  Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

rcc pervert the truth of the Bible as do false jehovahs witnesses and many others.
wait am confused ,what do catholics claim,mary sits at the right hand of God the father or God the son( her son)?

Thank God He had Men and Women-who were willing to risk there life's for God's sake.
Men of God-stood fern, risking their own lives, hiding away from the Catholic Church, men of God had rewritten the scriptures, the true meanings of the Hebrew and the Greek languages, so we the people in every nation, will know all truth, God Himself exist.

Christianity Etc › Feast Of St. James by blackbriar(op): 1:07pm On Jul 25, 2017
As he was passing by #Jesus saw James, the son of Zebedee, & John his brother & he called them both..........

James, son of Zebedee was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, and traditionally considered the first apostle to be martyred. He was a son of Zebedee and Salome, and brother of John the Apostle. He is also called James the Greater or James the Great to distinguish him from James, son of Alphaeus and James the brother of Jesus (James the Just). James the son of Zebedee is the patron saint of Spaniards and pilgrims, and as such is often identified as Santiago,

Following Christ's Ascension, James spread the Gospel across Israel and the Roman kingdom as well. He traveled and spread the Word for nearly forty years in Spain..James returned to Jerusalem but was martyred for his faith by King Herod, who decapitated him. Saint James the Greater is known as the first apostle to die.

As he was not allowed to be buried following his martyrdom, his remains were taken to Compostela, Spain, by some of his followers, who buried him.

In the ninth century his remains were discovered and moved to a tomb in Santiago de Compostela. Today, his remains can still be found in the Cathedral of Santiago.

Because Santiago de Compostela is the most frequently visited place pilgrims migrate to following Rome and Jerusalem, Pope Leo declared it a shrine.

St. James the Greater Prayer

O glorious Apostle,
St. James, who by reason of thy fervent and generous heart
wast chosen by Jesus to be a witness of His glory on Mount Tabor,
and of His agony in Gethsemane;
thou, whose very name is a symbol of warfare and victory:
obtain for us strength and consolation in the unending warfare of this life,
that, having constantly and generously followed Jesus,
we may be victors in the strife and deserve to receive the victor's crown in heaven.
Amen.

2 Corinthians 4:7-15, Mt 20:20-28,John 15:16
