Lutero:
How so?Unbelievers will always find ways to debunk Christianity, but it is sad that some statements from Christians are utterly ludicrous like your #3.
But in regard to #1 and #4, in all honesty I believe that RCs are risking their own faith, since both of those dogmas tend to deflect the focus of faith from Christ (IMHO).
1. saying they eat the flesh and drink the blood of our Saviour at communion every MassWith respect to this question, Jesus Himself said:
John 6:54
King James Version (KJV)
54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
How could that possibly deflect from faith in Christ?
4. Over veneration of Mary, calling her the Mother of God, the Spouse of the Holy Spirit, the Queen of Heaven,
The Ark of the New Covenant, Giver of all Graces, Mother of all.
Scripture says:
Mother of God
Luke 1:43
King James Version (KJV)
43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?
the Spouse of the Holy Spirit,
Luke 1:35
King James Version (KJV)35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
King James Version (KJV)35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
the Queen of Heaven,
King James Version (KJV)
1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
The Ark of the New Covenant,
King James Version (KJV)
19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail. 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
Giver of all Graces,
Is she not the Mother of Jesus Christ, who is all grace?
Mother of all.
King James Version (KJV)
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
How does Scripture, which is inspired by the Holy Spirit, deflect us from Christ?
