I'm more blessed than mary Proof = Luke 11:27-28 27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!” 28 But He said, “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” AMEN and AMEN. 1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach Paul allows bishops to get marry, but catholic church goes against paul. Jesus said Matthew 23:9 9 Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And also said Holy Father to Heavenly Father= John 17:11 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. Jesus said call no one Father but still catholics call *pope holy father. Sad Whenever a catholic argue about mary being the mother of God Use this to defeat the argument. Matthew 12:46-50 46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, “Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, “Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”. Mark 3:35 For whoever does the will of God is My brother and My sister and mother.” John 19:26-27 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. ( Jesus basically said John is the son of mary, and mary is the mother of John from that time onwards).

[@harrisonstone9264]

As a guy, I love these messages by Doug! Really helpful advice for both sides.

[@GeneralProfessor]

Communication is one of the biggest issues of the modern 'we're all equal' narrative. If you believe we're equal then women will assume that there's layers of hidden meaning behind every male word, meanwhile men will assume that women speak as directly and openly as men do which will cause said men to miss all sorts of hints and nudges. So it's no wonder that relationships between the sexes are in a bad spot, it's almost like the tower of Babel scenario where confounded language caused the whole project to fail.

[@Sylver_Echo2923]

Nicely said wow!

[@xxxViceroyxxx]

i mean whats the point of hints and nudges tho

[@michaellautermilch9185]

I disagree, somewhat. Much modern "Christian" marriage advice in the churches these days has departed from the Bible. You hear a lot about "communication issues" in their marriage teaching, because you can mis-diagnose almost any situation as a communication issue. Most of the time, the couple doesn't need better communication, but instead 1 or both of them need to address some kind of sin issue. Take away the Bible as your foundation, and you'll see most problems as communication ones. There are genuine communication issues, but not as many as you might think.

[@michaellautermilch9185]

Said differently, there are lots of churches out there which try to teach most marriage issues go back to communication. That is their way of avoiding preaching on actual sin.

[@cnh4431]

@@michaellautermilch9185 I somewhat agree with you, but only somewhat. There are lots of deep-seated and deeply destructive sin issues in marriages these days (probably always, but we didn't have Facebook and tiktok on which to publicize our personal issues and heartaches): sexual sin, sexual perversion and p*rn use, narcissism, arrogance, disrespect (goes both ways), hateful, inconsiderate, and unloving behavior (goes both ways), inability to put someone before yourself. But I believe what Doug is speaking of here is accurate, scriptural, and highly necessary: God commands men to dwell with their wives WITH UNDERSTANDING. God commands women to honor and RESPECT their husbands. How can we love, honor and respect one another in a marriage if no one tells us what to expect? It can be easy to get off into the weeds and see exactly the differences he's talking about as a serious sin issue, or at least a major character flaw, instead of simply a difference in thinking pattern or perception! A man's ability to intently focus, or sort of one-track-mind becomes "He's self absorbed, lazy or inconsiderate and doesn't love me at all." Her ability to focus on a bunch of things at once, to see multiple sides of things, to see problems before he does turns from, "She's got my back and is helping me head off these problems," to "She's naggy and nitpicky and never shuts up." Yes, our culture generalizes these sorts of misunderstandings as "communication issues." But I think God also generalizes them, as "understanding and respect" - respect that He made us both in different ways for different purposes and understanding that those differences are not inherently bad. I think that last couple of generations of parents, what with their massive divorce rates and heavy reliance on government schools to do the WHOLE job of preparing us for life, have utterly failed to prepare younger people for married life, with it's hurts and it's slights, along with it's virtue and joys. The old cliches and stereotypes have been tossed as outmoded and restrictive, but I believe there was some useful instruction there that no one bothered to replace. And speaking from experience, the latter, misunderstanding kind of problem can severely exacerbate the former, serious sin issue kind.

If you want to defeat catholic teachings tell them to compare the bible with the cathehism and choose one. It's very simple: you can follow the words of Jesus or you can follow the words of the pope.
