Since there is a bit of discussion of the real Mary, the mother of the Mesiah of having had sexual relations with her husband Joseph (for this is how babies are normally conceived) and having given birth to them, James and Jude would of course be two of them...wonderful truth/history that Roman Catholicism denies to have "Their Lady" (literally an idol deceptively helped along by the demonic impersonations of Mary)
it is significant to notice
Psalm 69
8 I have become a stranger to my brothers,
And an alien To My Mother's Children
9 Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up,
And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me.
that is passage in Pslams which was prophecy concerning Jesus Christ ties being an alien to His mother's children to zeal for His Father's house being a House of Prayer NOT a house of merchandise in John Chapter 2.
But then Roman Catholicsim isn't big on prophecy as it exposes their beliefs to be false and the judgment Rome receives of the Lord in Revelation and their need to repent & leave now.

gg- the fact that the pope is addressed as 'holy father' is proof he desires worship. Jesus warned against calling anyone on earth 'father', only Almighty God is worthy to be called Holy Father. Once again, the RCC ignores the commands in God's word and deems it necessary to set up idol worship in the vatican, then proceeds to pray to a mortal woman, a maidservant saved by God's grace, forgetting the commandment, "You shall have no other gods before me", "For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God". How do you get around that? Just overlook it, and let church 'tradition' take the place of the authoritative word of God! How terrifying it will be for this harlot of a church, the RCC,and all who love her, on the day of judgment.

God hears our prayers and answers them. But if our prayers are directed to him through the saints in heaven, who are so much closer to him, the graces he bestows will be all the more abundant.
How much more so if the saint is the greatest of them all, Jesus' own mother.

"Of course, you won’t be able to comprehend this passage since your cult will not allow you to believe the truth that Mary had other children."

Yes, Michael, prayer to her that she might pass our prayers on to Jesus, to whom she is much closer than we are.

Dan, Fatima is not forgotten because it was an authentic apparition of the mother of Jesus.
It wasn't for the sake of a demon that God provided a stupendous sign witnessed by tens of thousands of people within a radius of perhaps 30 miles.

I hope this is taken in the spirit in which it is intended but I have to wonder why in the world GG spends so much time on SermonAudio. I have to wonder why he and other devout Roman Catholics would be so interested in the goings on here. GG is certainly as entitled as anyone else to be here and I am in no position to suggest otherwise.
But ask yourself this: If he and Lance are such hardcore RCs, why in the world are they so interested in what is being said on a website that is so clearly of a strictly protestant/reformed persuasion? Are there no RC sites with interesting sermons, information and discussions for them? If so, why are they not there? What is it that keeps them so involved in the discussions here? What could possibly cause two men who are so obviously well versed (and rehearsed) in RC doctine and history to be so enamoured with the protesant/reformed theology SA is saturated with.

What people are truly righteous?(those who are born of the spirit according to the Bible) What people are of light and not also of some darkness? Catholic's are not infidels, they are Christians(catholics are not biblical Christians) who happen to see God's word differently from you...just like other Prots disagree with you.(if their teachings do not line up with Scripture then they are not Christians either) But, I am beginning to think that you have a point. We should separate from you.(I already have)

I think we should have shipped him right back to Italy and told him to stay and never come back.

KJV, NIV...whats the difference?. All of them are incomplete and found wanting. The Textus Receptus used part of the Latin Vulgate to fill in where Erasmus' sources were missing. Douay Rheims...now there is a real and complete (contains the Deuts) bible.

If what you say is true, then what right did the Reformers have to declare themselves separate and and independent from their Mother Religion?

True faith will bring forth works, Lance.
Good one, Michael Hranek. If one feels convicted to be rebaptized, let them. I have no quarrel with that. What matters most is their following the Bible alone instead of some traditions labeled as necessary or else face hellfire as defined by popes.

Lance Eccles wrote:
"Frying pan"? That's a funny view of Christian baptism.
-- Catholic baptism, in fact. Every valid baptism, no matter who it is performed by, is a Catholic baptism. It is the conferring of a sacrament of the RCC, even if it is done in a SB church by a SB pastor.

Israel will not build a temple until Anti-Christ comes, because they believe that they must wait until Messiah comes before it can be built. Yhis is according to their Rabbi's and other religious teachers. Since they will accept the Anti-Christ as the Messiah the Temple will be built when he comes on the scene. What better way is there for him to gain their trust?

I've heard from this fellow before:
www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/israel/parfitt.html
Unfortunately, he has the same evidential problem that Catholics have with their cult of relics. How can one know for certain it's not a fake?
Even granting that it's genuine, this should be only of passing interest for Christians who've read the book of Hebrews.
