"As you normally do you are trying to deflect from the OP...

The Original Post (OP) was about Mary's Yes, her consent to become the Mother of our Savior. In no way did I deflect from this. What do you think I'm talking about?? Did you miss the topic sentence?

"'She' as you put it which means Mary isn’t answering you or anyone else."

So many people have been answered by Mary that it would break down this server to list them all. People who are utterly *uninterested* in historic evidence on the six inhabited continents, over many centuries and cultures, and given to many people in the form of healing of body and soul, return to Christ, new fervor for His work, the renewal of families, the blessing of a happy death --- obtained from God through the intercession of Mary and the Saints--- will remain closed off from much truth and many blessings. There's no need to keep your fingers in your ears or your hands over your eyes.

"Show me in the Holy Scripture where any Heavenly Host talks to humans other than God, Jesus, The Holy Spirit, Angels, or Demons. 'She' isn’t any of the above, so she’s not talking to you."

Where do you get the principle you apparently invoke, that if something didn't happen in Scripture, it could not happen at all? It's like saying nobody was healed of cocaine addiction in Scripture, so it can't happen; or like saying light never comes from an electrical device in Scripture, so electric lights are not possible.

Old Russian Orthodox joke:

How many monks does it take the change a light bulb?

Monk #1: Bulb?

Monk #2: Change?

God can do whatever He wants, and through whomever He wants, even now. God did not stop being God at the end of the NT.

"...the Holy Scripture still remains and it is condemning you."

Holy Scripture does not condemn me, and I remain peacefully in the Body of Christ, together with Mary and all the saints gone on before me, and all the faithful Christians on earth. You too, if you only knew.

You would do well to understand that no one,....absolutely...no...one,...knows the depths and riches of God. They are unsearchable. Among those riches is his is abundant mercy. He performs miracles even for the atheists.

He is omnipresent. And you think that while he is present, he needs an omnipresent Mary to show more mercy, and to convince him to act???

Another RC wrote this. (I’ve replied to him, but he has not replied back.) Perhaps you can answer it.

**The wedding of Cana has always been thought of as an example and foreshadowing of Mary’s intercession. http://home.earthlink.net/~mysticalrose/marian11.html**

Intercession?....do you really think that Christ (who had seen Nathanael under the fig tree, before physically seeing him) strolled into Cana not knowing what was waiting for him, and how he would handle it??

Further, not only was there not wine for the wedding party, there was no wine for Mary, Jesus’ brethern, or he and his disciples. Mary wasn’t going to have any wine, along with everybody else. That’s not exactly intercessing; it’s more like making “your requests be made known to God”. (Phil. 4:6)

Jesus taught often on prayer, such as the examples of asking a friend at midnight for loaves of bread (Lk. 11:5-8), and the widow petitioning the unjust judge (Luke 18:1-8).

Yet, you RCs say that the Cana miracle is proof of Mary intercessing then and into the afterlife, when Jesus teaches us to ask God. And yes, James taught prayer, ‘one for another’ (5:14-18) to those believers still alive and living for God. He wasn’t writing to those that had already died in Christ.

You folks attribute a power to Mary that is only found in God: omnipresence.

How can someone be omnipresent, and not be omniscient as well? If you could be omnipresent, you would know everyone’s life story, from the time you became omnipresent and forward. You would know all the facts of any circumstance, because you would have been there while it all unfolded. You would even know from those facts if that someone was asking sincerely or not, because you would know what’s in their heart. Only God knows the heart.
