johnw74:
what lying accusers rc's are dictus, but it's understandable when one consideres who your god is
Jesus sits on the right hand of the majesty on high, and mary sits on the right hand of Jesus,
that being the case then they both sit on the right hand of the majesty on high, but i know 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.

and apart from all your twisting-lying, show from the Bible that mary sits on the right hand of Jesus on the throne of God, come back with that now, u hear
You won't agree your sources lied abi? Are these same.

According to Roman Catholicism: "Mary sits on

I am sure we could argue this one out as long as it takes.
{1 Corinthians 14:19}Paul said: In a Church, I would rather speak Five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousands words in an unknown tongue.
So I myself-would prefer to speak a language everyone could understand-than speaking a language, no-one can understand.
The 16th century there were no public schools, and literacy wasn't that common, especially among the peasants, the people who could read had been well educated and could read Latin. I remember even in the sixties Latin was used throughout the Catholic Churches.
We must always remember the Jews had kept their bible in Hebrew until the 19th century, and the Jews weren't interested in the Latin Language, everybody who wanted to learn to read the bible-had to learn Hebrew "The Church fought hard to keep the bible written in Latin, even though it could not be understood, by most people of that time.
But thanks, for your hard work Uben-it must have taken you so much of your time-to complete it.
Ubenedictus:
Again you are either lying through your anus or totally ignorant.

Latin was the popular european language in medieval times even till the 17century vernacular werent even popular.


Read and be enlightened.


The 16th century and beyond
Though vernacular languages were
gradually growing in prestige, Latin
continued to be an important language
for written communication in Britain
and Europe into the Early Modern
period.
In documentary sources there is no
significant discontinuity in the use of
Latin between 16th century and earlier
periods: through the Tudor era (Henry
VII to Elizabeth I, ob. 1603) Latin
remains the standard language of
official documents, both state (such as
the Close Roll s, the Charter Rolls , and
especially the Patent Rolls ) and
municipal (such as those collected in the
corpus of the British Borough Charters ).




http://www.dmlbs.ox.ac.uk/british-medieval-latin/contexts/the-16th-century-and-beyond



Medieval Latin was the form of Latin used in
the Middle Ages , primarily: as a medium of
scholarly exchange; as the liturgical language
of Chalcedonian Christianity and the Roman
Catholic Church; and as a language of
science, literature, law, and administration.
Despite the clerical origin of many of its
authors, medieval Latin should not be
confused with Ecclesiastical Latin .


Official status
Official
language in De facto in most Christian
states during the Middle
Ages


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Latin



New Latin was, at least in its early days, an
international language used throughout
Catholic and Protestant Europe, as well as in
the colonies of the major European powers.
This area consisted of most of Europe,
including Central Europe and Scandinavia ; its
southern border was the Mediterranean Sea,
with the division more or less corresponding
to the modern eastern borders of Finland , the
Baltic states, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and
Croatia .

You say according to the Roman Catholicism, Mary sits on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
What is the name of the book this is written-since the Catholic Church claims to be the guardians of the bible, you must be able to support your beliefs, since the Catholic's had added scriptures to the bible-seven books in question-Tobit, Judith, 1&2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Ecciesiasticus and Baruch, are property called the Deuterocanonical books.
So Uben which book is it written, Mary sits on the right hand of her son?
{2 Maccabees 12} Clearly supports prayers for the dead and the belief in Purgatory.
While the Catholic's make their claims to be the guardians of the bible-it demonstrated its hostility towards God's word-when it added unscriptural books to the Old Testament, namely the Apocrypha.

for goodness sake read and understand, mary was without original sin cos CHRIST had to be free from sin from birth.
you jump into our discussion half way without knowing how we got there.
blackbriar:
Like i said mary was without Original sin and not Actual sin, for if mary had had original sin, what were the consequences for the messiah?
blackbriar:
I repeat , Mary was without original sin and not actual sin.
u keep repeating what u have been taught to believe
but u cannot support your false doctrines from the Bible

evil men have told u to pray to mary angels and other people, and u r quick to follow them


Jesus said when you pray, pray to thy Father:
Mat_6:6  But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Jesus said this is how you pray:
Mat_6:9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Jesus prays to Father:
Mat_26:53  Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

Joh_14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;




u now have the Bible to see if whatever they have told u is true,
but u would still rather believe evil men who have taught u satans lies,
than believe God.

in so doing u call God a liar.

ha ha, yes, Jesus and Peter were talking about Bible haters like u smiley
that is what u do, when u do use Bible scriptures u twist them to say something else

fact is u haven't posted a single Bible verse that supports your satanic doctrines
of mary being prayed to
of mary being divinity
of mary being free from sin nature etc. etc. etc.

Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by johnw74:
rc's say mary is without sin
if Mary was sinless, why was she unclean and had to offer a sacrifice for sin?

rc's teach that Mary never sinned. But, if that is the case, why did she need to offer an atonement according to Old Testament Law (Lev. 12:1-8] after giving birth to Jesus? According to the Old Testament, it was only the mother who needed purifying after a birth because of the issue of blood. She was ritually unclean. If she had a male child, the days of her period of uncleanness was seven days, then the child was circumcised, then she remained unclean for 33 days (v. 4)--for a total of 40 days. If she bore a female child, her period of uncleanness would be 14 days plus 66 days for a total of 80 days. Notice in Leviticus 12:2 it says if she bears a male child, she shall be unclean for seven days. If Mary was sinless, how could she also be unclean?

Below is a chart that has Leviticus 12 and Luke 2 side by side. You can see from the text that Mary had to offer a sacrifice for uncleanness and as it says in Leviticus 12:8, a sacrifice for sin offering that is an atonement. Why would Mary, if she is sinless as the Roman Catholics assert, be unclean and also need a sacrifice?

Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab: 8:03am On Aug 03, 2017
And plus the Deuterocanonical are not found in the Hebrew bible, they were added by the Catholic Church at the council of Trent, after Luther rejected it.
The back ground to this theory goes like this; Jesus and the apostles, being Jews, used the same bible the Jews use today. However after they passed from the scene, muddled hierarchs starting adding books to the bible, either out of ignorance or because such books back up various wacky Catholic tradition that were added to the gospel.
In the 16th century, when the reformation came along, the first protestants, were finely able to read their bibles without ecclesial propaganda from Rome., notice that the Jewish and the Catholic bible differed, recognised this medieval addition for what it was and scraped it off the Word of God, like so many barnacles of a diamond.
Rome, ever ornery, reacted by officially adding the Deuterocanonical at the council of Trent {1545-1563}and started telling Catholic's they had always been there.
These are the very reasons-why the Catholic's disagree with the written Word of God, because they claim ownership of the bible-they believe their bible holds the secrets of all truth. No-wonder-they are confused. Don't we love history-when it gives us the ins and outs, about everything.
I could read this all day long. "Interesting".

You maybe able to fill us in-it isn't written in the bible, that Mary has no original sin-which of the books is it written?
I suppose in one of the 12 books the Catholic Church are using?

I have found in {1 Maccabees 12 } one of the books-you believe you could pray to the dead-and of course you believe in purgatory.
So show me where in the deutercanonical Apocrypha books-Mary has no Original Sin, and show us-Mary sits on her son's right side?
Explain to me, why are these books still in used by the Catholic Church? Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Esslesiasticus, Baruch 1&2 Esdrus, 1&2 Maccabees, the letter of Jeremiah, Prayer of the Manasseh.
The Apocrypha deuterocanonicals supports some of the things the Roman Catholic Catholic believes and practices, which is not in agreement with the bible. Examples are praying for the dead, Petitioning 'saints' in heaven for their prayers, worshipping angels, alms giving, atoning for sins.

The canon is used by the Catholic Church-it is obvious-the Catholic's receive much of their information from the deuterocanonical Apocryphal books. We already know about Luther-I also know the Catholic Church kept the books.
I am a believer, but no, I don't give unless the Spirit leads me to give. I don't "tithe money, nor do I give offerings in cash" giving, is just part of someones life style.
You still haven't answered the question "I recently asked-which of the books did you retrieve Mary not having Original sin-second question, I wanted to know which of the books it said: Mary sits on her sons right side-this is the sort of information-l want?

This doesn't answer Johnw74 question? There's nothing in this scripture that backs up your theories about Mary.
What is the problem? Why can't you Catholic's answer any bible knowledge we have asked?
This isn't the secret society-we all claim' to be believers, don't we.
The JW's, the Mormons have their own bible, the Muslims, the Catholic's have their own bible-all 4 religions claim to know Christ-and yet, none of you seem to believe how the bible is written.

I pray "IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER,SON AND HOLY SPIRIT"...which is the most blessed trinity.
and i also acknowledge the model of all prayers "Pater noster, que es in caelis"
your beliefs are anti Bibical
Jesus only acknowledges one model of prayer, and that is prayer to only God Himself

Jesus said when you pray, pray to thy Father:
Mat_6:6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Jesus said this is how you pray:
Mat_6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Jesus prays to Father:
Mat_26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

You see him you have contradicted yourself?

1. First you claim the Church kept the bible in Latin to prevent the people from reading it.
Now you admit that anybody who could read at that time, any literate person could read Latin too.

That means anyone who was literate i. E could read was able to read the bible as Latin was the international language of education all over Europe.


2. You also admit the Jews kept their bible in Hebrew, does that mean they were also hiding the bible or are you only biased against the catholic Church who actually made sure the bible was available in the language every educated person knew and read.
you dictus keep saying the good things rcc has done for the Bible,
yet you cannot post Bible verses asked for,
you believe rcc doctrines over God's word which is calling God a liar,
u love rcc doctrine and u hate God, that is a fact by your own actions

more on mary, full of grace, and luke 1:28

According to The Catholic Encyclopedia (TCE) under the topic of Hail Mary it says, "Hail (Mary) full of grace, the Lord is with thee, blessed art thou amongst women" embodies the words used by the Angel Gabriel in saluting the Blessed Virgin (Luke, I, 28)." The Roman Catholic Church derives all sorts of teachings concerning Mary from the phrase "full of grace." Two of them are . . .

She was conceived without sin.
" . . . It was fitting that the mother of him in whom "the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily" should herself be "full of grace." She was, by sheer grace, conceived without sin . . . " (Catechism of the Catholic Church, par. 722).
That she was redeemed from conception and was without sin.
"Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, "full of grace" through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854: The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin, (CCC, 491)

^^^ @bold, theres that pius 1X again, his name comes up a lot concerning apostasy

"From among the descendants of Eve, God chose the Virgin Mary to be the mother of his Son. "Full of grace", Mary is "the most excellent fruit of redemption" (SC, 103): from the first instant of her conception, she was totally preserved from the stain of original sin and she remained pure from all personal sin throughout her life," (CCC, 508).

Catholic.com says under "Full of Grace" that "These blessings included her role as the New Eve (corresponding to Christ's role as the New Adam), her Immaculate Conception, her spiritual motherhood of all Christians, and her Assumption into heaven." As you can see, Mary is greatly exalted even to the point of having "spiritual motherhood of all Christians"--whatever that means.

Also, since she has been so highly exalted, prayer is also offered to Mary. Catholics recite "The Hail Mary" which says, "Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen." Prayer should be offered to God alone--not to any creature no matter how blessed, including Mary.

As you can see, a great deal is derived from the phrase "full of grace." But, does the phrase justify such adoration and doctrinal proclamation? Can the Roman Catholic church rightfully derive so much from so little? In fact, is the phrase "full of grace" used of Mary in the Bible at all? The answers to these questions is "No."
The Bible and "full of grace"

The phrase "full of grace" in Greek is "plaras karitos," and it occurs in only two places in the New Testament; neither one is in reference to Mary.

"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14).
"And Stephen, full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people." (Acts 6:8].

The first citation refers to Jesus who is obviously full of grace. Jesus is God in flesh, the crucified and risen Lord, who cleanses us from our sins. In the second citation it is Stephen who is full of grace. We can certainly affirm that Jesus was conceived without sin and remained sinless, but can we conclude this about Stephen as well? Certainly not. The phrase "full of grace" does not necessitate sinlessness by virtue of its use. In Stephen's case it signifies that he was "full of the Spirit and of wisdom," along with faith and the Holy Spirit (Acts 6:3, 5). But Stephen was a sinner. Nevertheless, where does the phrase "full of grace" come from regarding Mary?
The Latin Vulgate and other translations

The Latin Vulgate is the Latin translation of the Bible done by St. Jerome in the fourth century. It is here in Luke 1:28 that is found the unfortunate Latin translation which says "ave gratia plena "Hail full of grace.'" Remember, the New Testament was written in Greek--not Latin--but the Roman Church has derived its doctrine from the Latin translation--not the Greek original. Therefore, it constructed its doctrine on a false translation. Of course, it cannot correct itself since so much is invested in the worship, adoration, and prayer to Mary in the Roman Catholic Church; and to recant of this false teaching would greatly lessen its credibility. Unfortunately, this means that millions of Catholics will continue to look to Mary for help--not Christ who is truly full of grace.

So what do the other translations say about Luke 1:28? Let's find out.

The Nestle-Aland 26th edition, Greek New Testament Interlinear--"having gone into her he said rejoice one having been favored, the master is with you."
The NRSV English-Greek Reverse Interlinear New Testament--And he came to her and said, "Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you."
American Standard Version--"And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favored, the Lord is with thee."
English Standard Version--"And he came to her and said, Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!
Today's English Version--'"The angel came to her and said, “Peace be with you! The Lord is with you and has greatly blessed you!”
King James Version--"And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women."
New American Standard Bible--"And coming in, he said to her, Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.
New International Version--"The angel went to her and said, Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.
New King James Version--"And having come in, the angel said to her, Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!"
Revised Standard Version--"And he came to her and said, 'Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!'
New Revised Standard Version--And he came to her and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”
The New Century Version--The angel came to her and said, “Greetings! The Lord has blessed you and is with you.”
New Living Translation--Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!'”
The Cambridge Paragraph Bible--And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, 'thou that art 'highly favoured, 'the Lord is with thee: 'blessed art thou among women.'
The Holman Christian Standard Bible--"And the angel came to her and said, “Rejoice, favored woman! The Lord is with you."
International Standard Version--'"The angel'' came to her and said, “'Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you!"

What does the Greek say here for "highly favored one? It is the single Greek word kexaritomena and means highly favored, make accepted, make graceful, etc. It does not mean "full of grace" which is "plaras karitos" (plaras = full and karitos = Grace) in the Greek.

5923 χαριτόω (charitoō): vb.; Str 5487; TDNT 9.372—LN 88.66 show kindness graciously give, freely give (Eph 1:6); as a passive participle, subst., “one highly favored.”1
5487 χαριτόω [charitoo /khar·ee·to·o/] v. From 5485; TDNT 9:372; TDNTA 1298; GK 5923; Two occurrences; AV translates as “be highly favoured” once, and “make accepted” once. 1 to make graceful. 1a charming, lovely, agreeable. 2 to peruse with grace, compass with favour. 3 to honour with blessings.2

Therefore, we conclude that the Roman Catholic Church has manufactured far too much doctrine concerning Mary out of the erroneous translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible, and that the RCC needs to recant its false teaching concerning Mary.
Conclusion

Mary was a very blessed woman. She was graced with the privilege of being able to bear the Son of God. We should never forget her high privilege in this respect. However, we must not elevate her to a level beyond that which is prescribed in Scripture. To do so is to be in error--the very error that is taught in the Roman Catholic Church.

We urge Roman Catholics not look to Mary. Instead, they should look to Jesus alone. He alone is the sinless one, the perfect one, the Lord, the mediator, the forgiver of our sins. It is he alone to whom we should appeal and trust for the forgiveness of our sins. We should not look to any creature no matter how blessed that creature may be.

Re: Why Do Catholics Pray With The Rosary, And Bow To Mary's Statue? by brocab:
Yeh-I have seen this priest on the news, they have been wanting this man for long enough-finely the Vatican had turned him over to the law-to front these crimes he had committed against children, there a hundreds of priest involved in this sort of behaviour, so Cardinal Pell-isn't the first one who was caught, and spent his time close to the Pope.
It just shows the globe-Catholicism have their own laws-just to suit themselves.
Children all over the globe, are ever sexually assaulted, and as sad as it sounds-these so called men and women of God, claim they are Christian.
I have heard stories about the Nuns, they have had their fair share-in child molesting too, it is really an insult to God-these so called men and women of God-burning with passion, refusing to marry, just for the sake to destroy a child's life.
How does the Catholic Church-believe they are the guardians of the bible-when we know God is against such acts.
What are the 10 hail Mary's-anyway, this is how a rapist priest would pray?
One hail Mary thanks for the children.
2 hail Mary-thanks for their unclothed bodies.
3 hail Mary's thank you-allowing to explore them with passion.
4-5-6-7-8-9-10 hail Mary's, and "One" our Father, thank you I am finished.

This is, what the world see's?

We actually feel the same about you, you had refuse to give us the truth about anything you claim it's true.
Every verse you have produce, just doesn't line up with the Word of God, Jesus sits on His Fathers right side-but where is Mary?
Guessing isn't good enough-we need to evidence-But as usual when it is time to lay your evidence out on the table-everyone of you-hide behind each other, hoping the heats claim.
None of you have come up with scriptures that matches your theories! The bible isn't a guessing game-its full of facts-truth-that God's Spirit had inspired apostles to write a super natural-Spirit filled book called the bible.
You aren't any different to any other religion, the JW's do it, the Mormons do it, the Muslims do it, "all" claim to know Christ and yet, all of you-turn your backs against His Word, playing the guessing game-making up stories-that none of them line up with the Word of God.
