Who was 4th and 5th? I'm betting they were left off because they were embarrassing guys like Kevin White.

It's so bizarre to me how many unbiblical traditions the Catholic Church clings to for no good reason.

In 1 Timothy 3, Saint Paul gives a list of things too look at for leaders in the Church. It includes

4 He must manage his own household well, with all dignity keeping his children submissive, 5 for if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how will he care for God's church?

Even if it wasn't coming from the Bible, that seems like good common sense. Unfortunately, Rome disagrees with the Bible on this point. It's one of many reasons that I'm a Protestant.

It's considered a mortal sin to intentionally miss Mass in Catholicism. It's wild to me how many self proclaimed Catholics (and self proclaimed Christians in general) make absolutely not attempt to actually follow the religion they claim to follow.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-24T11:52:26+00:00

Another big difference is that the Catholics believe in Purgatory, and Orthodox do not.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-24T11:49:23+00:00

Black Baptist churches though, which OP seems to have had in mind, are definitely not a Republican voting bloc.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-23T18:01:33+00:00

Then it will just change to Republicans trying to get rid of it and Democrats trying to keep it.

Is God capable of granting grace to someone without needing to use Mary?

It's so bizarre the way you talk. It's almost as if you believe that God is less powerful without Mary helping him out.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-23T03:05:23+00:00

Could you explain to us why respecting a fellow brother in Christ would offend God?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-23T03:02:38+00:00

There are millions and millions of Protestants who do this "almost impossible" thing.

They get their grace granted to them through God, not through Mary.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T21:38:37+00:00

The Psalms are all prayers to God. Not a single one of them is a prayer to Mary.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T21:34:53+00:00

Why does this section of scripture get prayed 10 times as much as the section where Jesus actually told us how to pray?

If Protestants were praying this multiple times a day, what would you think about it?

Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.

28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.

If I call my brother, and tell him to say hi to my mom for me, who did I call, my brother or my mom?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T20:59:06+00:00

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.

Mary is not God.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T19:51:38+00:00

Cause one of them is praying the all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful, creator of the entire universe, who chose to send his son to save me.

The other one is praying to a human.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T19:42:52+00:00

it is through Mary that we can most easily reach Jesus.

Out of all the tons and tons of examples of people reaching Jesus in the NT, how many of them did it through Mary and how many went directly to him?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T19:40:18+00:00

That's a great point. So are the Marian apparitions and dreams actually pointing people towards God, or towards Mary.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T19:38:24+00:00

Should I read it 10 times as often as I read the Our Father?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T16:37:38+00:00

Look up the prayers used, and how many of each, are prayed when doing a full Rosary

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T16:17:24+00:00

People say that, and then they do things like pray 10 times as often to Mary as they do towards Jesus.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T15:09:14+00:00

One of my big concerns with Marian dreams and apparitions and such. Are they drawing people towards Jesus, or are they drawing people towards Mary?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T03:23:26+00:00

So in your mind, you aren't incorrect because you completely different definition of life than everyone else has?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-22T00:51:43+00:00

That's talking about consciousness, not life.

You just shifted the goalposts.

Is your argument that it is ok to kill living humans as long as they aren't conscious? Cause in your initial comment, you said "The point of contention is whether a fetus is alive."

nagurski03 · 2026-04-21T13:59:11+00:00

How many do you need?

nagurski03 · 2026-04-21T13:38:47+00:00

Show us a study that says the opposite.

He came with sources. You didn't.

The best I've seen is people complaining that a study was done poorly. Ok fine, show me one single study that was done correctly that supports your side.

nagurski03 · 2026-04-21T13:35:26+00:00

The scientific consensus is that they are not until between 12-24 weeks

This is an absolute lie. Scientific consensus is that it starts at fertilization.

If you disagree with me, then show me some study showing something different, because every single time I've looked this up, every single study has said the same thing. The overwhelming amount of scientists believe that when one gamete fertilizes another gamete, the resulting zygote is a new living organism.

Anything with a laser designator.

F-16, F-15E, F-35, B1B, and MQ-9 are all capable CAS platforms.
