What role does Mary have in the life of a priest? with Father Dennis Carbonaro

[@tony1685]

Mary has absolutely ZERO rule in Christianity - since the Bible says she is dead - and the dead 'know nothing' - Ecc 9:5 Mary is the mother of Jesus' humanity, not His Divinity. she, like us now, was a sinner and needs Him as Saviour.

Greetings Tony! The Bible does not say she is dead the Bible says “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses..” and if Mary is not among this great crowd then no one is. Also if Mary has “ZERO rule in Christianity” then you will have a problem birthing and raising the messiah yourself. 🤷🏽‍♂

@@srich7503 Bible clearly explains that all die in Heb 9:7. and since her living would be contrary His Word, it would need to be specifically stated in order for Christians to believe it. Mary isn't alive yet because, as King David and Job are shown, she is still waiting in her tomb for the resurrection. this is Bible!

@@tony1685 thats so cute! You are certainly welcome to believe and profess whatever you want to believe, but to glean this from OUR book, the Bible, is just plain silly… History shows us that Jesus didn't leave us a bible, the apostles didn't tell us which books belong in the bible, the church fathers never agreed on the 27 books of the NT through the 4th century, not only did they not agree but their list of would-be NT canons were GROWING during this time. So, if it wasn't the Catholic/Orthodox church that compiled the 27 books of the NT in the 5th century with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and preserved it by laboriously hand copying them over and over throughout the centuries before the invention of the printing press, the “rule of faith” for many, please tell us, show us, who did? And if this church no longer exists today, what good is the text which came forth from her if she couldn't sustain herself?
