Here's a figure of speech. The dad told his son, I'm mad enough to shoot you. What does it mean?
OK. But the figure of speech saying the words still in his mouth must be taken literally?It means he's really mad.
It also means that this father is acting out of anger, and not love.

OK. In other words you do not see it as a figure of speech.The figure of speech "the words are still in one's mouth" means that the person is still uttering the words. It doesn't mean that they've finished saying what they're saying. It means they're still in the process of speaking!
I'm not sure why you're having such a problem with this.
OK. In other words you do not see it as a figure of speech.
For the reason you see my example as meaning something other than the words used by the father. In this example you insist that the words mean exactly the same thing as when they were uttered.What part of "The figure of speech "the words are still in one's mouth" means that the person is still uttering the words" makes you think that I do not see it as a figure of speech?

LOL. You think you need to explain my example of a figure of speech to me?When you say that "I'm mad enough to shoot you," but it's a figure of speech, then OF COURSE it doesn't actually mean that you're going to shoot someone.
It just means you're mad enough to do it!
It means EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!
I did so in BOTH.
"I'm mad enough to shoot you" does not mean "I'm going to shoot you." It just means one is mad enough to do so.
How is that so hard for you to understand, Gary?
You think you need to explain my example of a figure of speech to me?
In other words:If you;re trying to anger me, it isn't going to work.
The "woman" in Revelation 12 is NOT Mary.Our Lady wears a crown in Heaven. Revelation 12:1
If Catholics do not engage in idolatry......why is there a statue of Joseph on the right and Mary on the left?Catholics do not engage in idolatry. Once again you are a liar.
Not to worship them.If Catholics do not engage in idolatry......why is there a statue of Joseph on the right and Mary on the left?
Was Mary a sinner?
Do you have Scripture saying yes?
Mary: "And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:47)
The angel of the Lord: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21)Jesus saves His people from their sins. Jesus is Mary's Saviour. Is not Mary one of His people? From what does she need to be saved by her Saviour, if not her sins?
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men(anthropos-mankind), for that all have sinned:
1Co_15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Mary's geneology in Luke 3 says that she is a blood descendent of Adam, thus she was a sinner and needed salvation through her Son.Luk 3:38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.
I have Mary's own words, translated into English, of course.
