ArchivedReality v.s. TraditionPeace Aineo, What proof do you have to suggest the symbol was considered satanic during this time? Unless you have written material supporting this theory dating from at least the 3rd century AD, this is nothing but conjecture. The Romans were quite twisted and would probably not mind crucifying someone upside down just for kicks. So a depiction of Mary holding baby Jesus is pagan? Is that what you are saying? Or maybe these depictions show the love Mary had for baby Jesus. That would be the more logical reason. Personally I believe that Mary was sinless, but I do believe that everyone is born with original sin. I never accepted Mary's perpetual virginity seeing that Jesus had brothers and sisters. Mary was the Mother of God in a sense. She bore our Lord into this world. However, I don't see how these beliefs can be traced to pagan mythology. Grant you the Church had times of corruption, it overcame these corruptions. Why? Because Jesus Christ promised to stand by the Church like a bridegroom stands by his bride. The fact that the Church was able to overcome corruptions is a testament to Christ's promise to stand by the Church. More than smoke and mirrors, friend. History for what? I accept what is said in this article, but what was the discussion about here? |
