    ECCLESIASTES 18:17 REFUTES THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF MARY? REFUTATION AND RESPONSE: In the Bible, not only is Mary called "kecharitomene," but it is also used in Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 18:17. So, is Mary not that special? REFUTATION: FIRST: The word "kecharitomeno" is used in...

    Mother mary without sin?

    In Genesis 24, which narrates the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah, two Hebrew words appear: "betulah" in verse 16 and "almah" in verse 43. It is noteworthy that between these verses, Isaac and Rebekah have not yet met, indicating Rebekah remains a virgin. The pivotal moment occurs in verse 22...

    1a. Verb Tense and Hebrew Grammar Isaiah 9:6 uses past tense verbs to describe the birth of the child (“for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given”), while the rest of the prophecy speaks of future events (“the government will be upon his shoulders,” “he will be called”). This use of...

    Mother mary without sin?

    Yes, Mark's gospel portrays Jesus without the virgin birth. As for the Hebrew word for young woman/virgin, in other places in the Hebrew Bible where it occurs, it corresponds to virgin, but I would have to search and I have no tool for now.

    Mother mary without sin?

    According to Christian doctrine, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and, since He did not inherit Joseph's Y chromosome, He does not biologically belong to the *Homo sapiens* species. His origin is supernatural, and while He assumed human form, His divine conception sets Him apart from...

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    In the context of the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Pauline theology is highly regarded, and I acknowledge its significant contribution in guiding Christian communities, such as the church in Corinth. However, it is noteworthy that the Catholic Church firmly maintains that Peter was the first...

    Galatians 2:6 And those who seemed to be influential, even if they were in the past, that makes no difference to me, because God does not judge according to human appearances. These, which seemed to be very important, added nothing to me. Paul disdained those who were influential in CHRIST...

    The Garden of Eden

    2 Corinthians 11:3 New International Version But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent’s cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. 1 Timothy 2:14 New International Version And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman...

    Mother mary without sin?

    In this discussion, we've already touched on "kecharitomene" and its interpretation, which differs between Catholics and Protestants. What I want to talk about now is the traumatic conception of Mary. She was visited by an angel, so she thought the child was from the angel. She told all her...

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    1) Paul's words cannot be above the words of Jesus. The theology of Jesus is superior to any other theology. Jesus pointed out that keeping the law is a source of eternal life. Matthew 19:16-17 KJV And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may...

    "When they saw the boldness of Peter and John, knowing that they were uneducated and uneducated men, they were astonished; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus" is an excerpt from the Bible, Acts 4:13 Paul himself was also deficient in grammar.

    Church of circumcised Jews: Acts 21:20-21 kJV And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which...

    Yes, but I referred to this church of circumcised Jews: Acts 21:20-21 kJV And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: And they are informed of thee, that thou...

    Let's TALK about Paul...

    The Book of Revelation mentions the figure of a false prophet, being a text that addresses the persecution of the saints, supposedly written before the destruction of Jerusalem. In light of the current discussion on this forum, why not consider the possibility that the false prophet mentioned in...

    Certainly. It seems that I do not yet possess sufficient evidence to substantiate a clear transition of this cultural practice into the Jewish church.
