cataway you have a nice story..... But the scriptures say different... For Jesus to be your brother you MUST be IMMERSED into his holy body... The CHURCH!
To be re-born you must be ADDED to his holy body; The Church!
Scriptures are very clear.. 3000 people were ADDED to the body of Jesus the first day of Pentecost by Baptism!
Acts 2:40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.” 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

catway disciples are made by baptism!
Matthew 28..."Go into all the world MAKE Disciples of all nations BAPTIZING"!

Disciples are brothers of Jesus!
Matthew 12... "Pointing to his DISCIPLES Jesus said "Here are my BROTHERS"!

Jesus would be made your BROTHER by BAPTISM! IF....
cataway
if Jesus is NOT your brother then God CANNOT be your father; It is just that simple! If Jesus was your brother then logic says "Mary would be your mother!" BUT....
cataway
but Mary cannot be your mother so it is very obvious Jesus cannot be your brother! Mary cannot be your mother scriptures are clear....
Luke 1:46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation
.

Verse 48 (above) the From NOW ON is a prophesy! This prophesy started as the words left Mary's mouth!
cataway For Two Thousand years Catholics have honored Mary as blessed! Clearly Catholics are in the "Generational" Family of Mary! We are in the Generation to generation that honor her as blessed two thousand years of Mary's generational family!
Mary cannot be your Mother you do NOT have roots going back two thousand years to her prophesy you are NOT in her family you reject Mary & you reject Baptism!
Mary is not your mother so Jesus cannot be your brother! Jesus HONORS Mary his mother "HE MUST HONOR MARY"; It is commanded "Honor your mother"! IF...
cataway
if Jesus did not honor Mary his mother he would be sinning!
Jesus is my brother thus God is my Father thus Mary is my Mother, Catholic's have ALWAYS honored Mary our mother as scriptures prophesied! The JW's are NOT spiritual heirs they reject Mary and Baptism! (I have much more to point out to you....)
Have a good day Dogknox20
the chances that Mary helping you is right up there with winning the lottery 52 times in a year.

And how is it that you supposedly know that?

IMO, I don't believe it nor do I disbelieve it as I'm not quite omniscient. :rolleyes:

cataway I am sorry to say it but.... Again just another nice story or yours.... No proof just accusations!
Mary is my mother because I am IN the Holy body of Jesus! It is just this simple! I honor Mary as blessed just as all the generations before have honored my mother!

THINK: Jesus baptizes with spirit because he is the groom. The Church baptizes with water because she is the bride; I have a mother and a father!
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

cataway no one can baptize themselves the mother forms the baby the father sends the gift! Two two two parents not only one!
Jesus baptizes with the spirit.. He sends the GIFT!
The Bride the Holy Catholic Church baptizes with water she removes the sins! All who died before Pentecost did not receive the gift they were NOT IMMERSED into the body of Jesus! The THIEF..
cataway
the Thief ended up in a Garden "Paradise" John the Baptist also died before he could become a Child of God before Pentecost he also was NOT Baptized by the One Holy Church!
28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

cataway You claim God is your father? Do I have to point out no father gets the title father unless a Mother gives birth! You are mother-less!

Look up the "Miracle of the sun", Google it.
>>>>Miracle of the Sun - Wikipedia<<<<<
Get back to me about how Mary helps no one! Tell me that there are no miracles....LOL Tens of thousands of people witnessed this miracle but they are all wrong.. LOL!

like it or not ,Mary was a vessel . used for the purpose of binging forth a man ,Jesus . she did not give him life she nurtured that life.
did she receive a position in the kingdom ??? at best it can only be presumed that she did . even if she did it would not be a greater position than any of the apostles.

Again so says you... No scriptures just presumptions and what you have been taught outside of the scriptures. So much for the tradition of scriptures Alone! LOL
cataway Mary the ARC is crowned with stars... The ARC carried God! God honors Mary his mother in a way that only a God can!
19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm. .... A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth...... WHO...
cataway who is about to give birth?

You do understand "The ARC carried God for forty years!" Mary a true ARC carried God for 40 weeks, the Arc carried the "Show Bread"! Mary carried the "True Manna from heaven". The ARC carried the ten commandments of God.. Mary carried "The WORD"!

God is with Mary.. Mary is HIGHLY FAVORED by God!
28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.
cataway Mary is BLESSED among all woman for all generations! You are forced to reject the scriptures to be a JW!!
Mary is the Mother of God!
42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

Mary GLORIFIES God!
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
,

Question is Jesus savior?

Jesus MUST HONOR Mary... All of Jesus' Brothers and Sisters MUST honor Mary... Proving Jesus is NOT he cannot be your brother... To you; Mary is not your mother! Mary is NOT your mother you reject her as ordinary; YES Mary is a vessel a Blessed Holy vessel an ARC the Mother of God "The Son!"

Elizabeth is a Jew she has ONLY ONE GOD; HER LORD these are her words (not mine) why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
Elizabeth would be blaspheming saying that Jesus is her God if he was NOT! EVERY....
cataway every place in Luke chapter one LORD means GOD; You cannot prove the word LORD does not mean God!

Did you look into the "Miracle of the sun"?! Thousands of witnesses many none believers, reporters recorded the event, many were cured, the water dried up instantly! Reject the truth for the lies of the WT! Its a recorded documented miracle of Mary!

Mary is my mother because I am IN the Holy Body of Jesus, It is just this simple! :)
I was IMMERSED into Jesus' holy body by my baptism!
cataway I was made a DISCIPLE by baptism!
"19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing..." Baptism is NOT symbolic it IMMERSES Christians into the ONE...Holy Catholic Apostolic Body of Jesus!

You have been told many lies by the WATCH TOWER, fallen for their teaching! LOGIC ALONE should tell you... You cannot be a child of God if you are NOT immersed into the body of his ONLY SON; Jesus!

cataway I am in Jesus so Mary LOGICALY is my adopted mother! I am IN Jesus thus Mary is my adopted mother as God is my adopted Father; I HONOR Mary as Commanded in the ten commandments! I honor Mary because Jesus honors Mary as blessed! Catholic have ALWAYS honored Mary, all GENERATIONS of Mary's family have called Mary blessed for 2000 years Christians have Honored their Holy mother as Blessed!
You cannot call Mary your mother, you find yourself OUTSIDE of the body of Jesus! You are OUTSIDE of Jesus so LOGIC tells you; You cannot be a child of God.. God has ONLY one child.. To be God' child you MUST.. You HAVE TO BE Immersed into him!

Haha yes, I'm more interested in people who are not JWs but understand more about them than I do. JWs themselves I find, are not a good source of understanding, generally.
Seems to me if one wants to know more about Catholics he would go to Priests.
Seems to me if one wants to know more about Jews he would go to Rabbi's.
Seems to me if one wants to know more about Buddhists he would go to practicing Buddhists, etc.
So, why Not go to www.jw.org if one wants to know more about Jehovah's Witnesses _________

And Jesus said "judge ye not...", but apparently you never made it that far in your reading.
you have made a judgment . it seems thats ok?
“Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves''. hummmm
