    Mother mary without sin?

    Full of grace does not mean sinless! It is unmerited favor. Where in the Bible does it say specifically that Mary was sinless. If Mary was sinless, why does Jesus say this in Matthew 12:46-49: "While Jesus was still speaking to the crowds, his mother [Mary] and brothers came and stood...

    Mother mary without sin?

    Those are your "grammar rules". Again, where in the Bible does it specifically say that Mary was sinless?

    Mary was a virgin, but she was not sinless. => Nowhere in the Bible does it specifically say that Mary was sinless <=

    Mother mary without sin?

    That is your interpretation, which is by no means objective truth. There is nothing in the Bible that says that Mary was sinless.

    Mother mary without sin?

    Grace in the Bible is the unmerited favor of God toward humans. It has absolutely nothing to do with being sinless. As an example, Rahab the prostitute was justified by works when she welcomed the messengers and sent them out by another way. (James 2:25)

    Mother mary without sin?

    There is absolutely no evidence that "Mother Mary" was without sin. She was a young woman, probably a teenager, chosen by God to be Jesus' mother. If their is evidence in the Bible that Mary was sinless, please point it out.

    The trinity is false - I have proof

    The New Word Translation has been created by Jehovah's Witnesses specifically to legitimize their doctrine. It didn't "fix" anything, and it is ridiculous to say that the people that reject it are "in darkness".

    Christians Only: Should we have denominations in Christianity?

    Well, I'm Jewish and Christian. By Jewish, I mean that I was born and raised as a Jew -- both my parents were Jews -- by believe that Yeshua is my Savior. He was a Jew, as were all the first "Christian" believers and all the authors of the Bible (with only one exception). In other words, I...

    Christians Only: Should we have denominations in Christianity?

    I disagree. Take Judaism for example. There are many divisions within Judaism: orthodox, conservative, reform, reconstructionist, Haredi, Messianic, and humanistic (to name a few). Jews cannot agree on who is a Jew and who isn't.

    Christians Only: Should we have denominations in Christianity?

    You only -> think <- that they aren't biblical, when actually they are. What would you substitute for faith and the Bible?

    Why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    The OP is about -> believing <- that Jesus is the Messiah. I don't believe that Jesus is the Messiah; I know that Jesus is the Messiah. A better question is "why don't you believe that Jesus is the Messiah?

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    Why are you so fixated on repentance? All sins have been forgiven by Jesus Christ's sacrifice. There are no "works" required, including repentance. IMHO, that is a false teaching of the Catholic denomination. Are you by any chance Catholic? They (you?) really believe in continuing...

    You are completely correct!

    Why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    Your not understanding my arguments doesn't invalidate them. It simply means that you can't understand them. If you had even a basic understanding the the Messiah and His ways, you wouldn't write "Because instead of following what Jesus said, like don't judge others, and love your neighbor...

    Why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    a) I don't have to answer your questions! And if I decide to answer them, I will answer as I see fit. b) I really don't care about your misinterpretation of "the Messianic prophecy". I have explained to you many times why I believe Jesus is the Messiah of all people. If you can't accept it...

    Why do you believe Jesus is the Messiah?

    Read Romans 9! Jesus came for everyone, Jews and Gentiles. He is the Messiah for all people. Ephesians 2:14-16, "For he is our peace, the one who made both groups [Jews and Gentiles] into one and who destroyed the middle wall of partition, the hostility, when he nullified in his flesh the...

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    => REPENTANCE IS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS! THAT IS SALVATION BY "WORKS"! <= Ephesians 2:4-10 (with my emphases added), "But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even though we were dead in offenses, made us alive together with Christ—by...

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    It is ridiculous that anyone should live her/his life the way s/he sees fit and follow her/his conscience. For example, Adolph Hitler, Josef Stalin, and others lived their lives the way that they saw fit. They followed their consciences. Do you really think that their behavior, including...

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    You don't live??? Interesting! If you don't understand the Bible, may I suggest that you get some help?
