When did Jesus tell us to join your church? You say "His" church, but the Bible doesn't talk about Catholics or Protestants. It talks about believers in Christ being the church. What the Catholic church did to twist scripture is exactly why the church split. Your doctrines cannot be found in the ...
[quote]Prots LOVE to cherry pick a single line of text from a single letter of Paul and then invent an over arching doctrine of theology that contradicts what the Catholic Church of Christ has believed since about 200 AD. You go right ahead and keep believing that Eve, who was born Sinless, is su...
[quote]Having a rational and collegial debate about the Blessed Virgin Mary is not hatred, I agree. But, that is not what we most often have around here. First off, the very title of this thread has intentionally distorted what Pope F said. Many Catholics in this thread have demonstrated that the...
[quote]Mary, was born without sin. She was the, Immaculate Conception. That's what makes her "perfect." She had to be as she was to be the vessel for the, Son of God. Does that mean she's equal to God? No. It simply means what it means. I don't like the worship of Saints. That being said, I don't...
[quote]Lots of disguised hatred towards Mary and Catholics in this thread. Seems fitting, Satan hates her too! Because she embodies everything he’s not… Totally submissive to the will of God, totally free of pride ! He HATES her, because as a lowly human, she was more obedient than he is and all ...
[quote]So you’ve elevated yourself as judge to determine who goes to hell and who doesn’t. You have therefore put yourself in a place exclusively reserved for God. Interesting position. I hope it works out for you. [/quote] I know you weren't talking to me, but I feel compelled to respond. The...
[quote]the idea of the communication of idioms is almost as old as Christianity itself. It's necessary to uphold the divinity of Jesus. Yes Jesus died on the cross, but because we can say Jesus is God we can also correctly say God died on the cross, even though God can't die. It logically f...

[quote]I'm not talking about Jump or Holman, who obviously won't start another game ________ You said this in another thread. I think we see a little from Jump when we play Sunday. Would not be 100 pitches again, but he could give us a few good innings. Many guys are workhorses a full 2 years af...
[quote]did God die on the cross? yes he did because Jesus is God as you said. But God can't die that is impossible. There is a concept in theology called the communication of idioms. Basically the divine attributes of God can be applied to the Man Jesus, and visa versa. By the same concept ...
[quote]Totally agree, M, but would add a point re the above. IMO, God did not create Humanity to worship Him, or for His own pleasure outside of ours. If God created Humanity in service of Himself, then Lucifer could justify It's own desire to be worshipped as God set an example of doing. Serving pe...
[quote]This is the heresy known as Nestorianism. Mary = Mother of Jesus Jesus = God Therefore, Mary = Mother of God (the son) To deny the Theotokos is to deny the Trinity. [/quote] My friend, this is truly not a complicated issue. Jesus IS God, and Mary was Jesus' [b]earthly[/b] mother. S...
So with a church that prays to Mary, when Mary is never defined as being divine in the Bible, and with God clearly stating that there is no other God but Him, and Jesus saying no one comes to the Father except through Him (not through Mary), we are to believe that Catholics haven't made anything up?...

[quote]We should be setting ourselves up for the regional at this point. the rest of this tournament is meaningless. We accomplished our goal. We will either be a 2 or 3 seed.[/quote] What I don't understand is why so many are of the opinion that pitching [i]any[/i] of our high leverage guys...
[quote]Baseball America has updated this morning and has LSU as a #2 seed now headed to OU's region who they have as the #7 national seed.[/quote] That would certainly be nicer than being sent way out west, yet again, and proof that there are indeed closer regionals we can be sent to if the commi...
It would be 4 days rest for Jump, which is normal rest in the majors, but obviously not normal for college pitchers. He just pitched on 4 days rest for the 1st time ever, so I would say there is zero chance he does it twice in a row in a non "must win" situation. They could theoretically bring him i...
[quote]Except that it has nothing to do with this at all. Geographically, the only places the NCAA could put us on a bus to for regionals and stay in the 350-400 mile window are USM (which they did) and ULL. The SEC teams further east can be sent to ACC schools. We can't. I don't get why people d...
[quote]Across these threads I’ve seen a lot of Griffin being lumped in with Jump and Holman as far as guys who won’t, or can’t pitch again in this tourney. In what world can a relief pitcher, who threw 33 pitches, not pitch again 4 days later? Little leaguers throw with that type of rest. Jay ...
[quote]so what you're saying is we still take over regionals out west, but the NCAA sends us out there so we won't? What's the conspiracy surrounding them sending us a few hours way to Hattiesburg in 2022?[/quote] You missed my point entirely, friend. There is no conspiracy here. LSU didn't ou...
[quote]The topic of this thread is that we could have a winning sec record at the end of the week. So what do you mean overcome the 13-17 record. Do these SEC games not count? [/quote] They count as games won, but they don't undo being 13-17 in the regular season. These games aren't counted onto ...
[quote]If uC Santa Barbra is a 16 seed, their SOS is 83 and 40 out of conference, RPI 10, record 39-12 23-4 Looking at all metrics, and the eye test they are….. more deserving? I just used them as a reference because of talk we travel there. They also don’t play a conference tournament. 3 game ser...
