No 40 Lord's Prayers, etc.
No anything else.
I get it that nothing more is required but
would it be alright with you, if for instance
I was actually able to talk directly to Jesus or
His representative here on earth and
tell Him how sorry I was that I stole your car and
then He asked me to think about His mother while
I meditate on the time:
Gabriel announced His arrival or
when His mom visited her cousin Elizabeth or
when He was born in the stable or
when His mom presented Him in the temple or
when His mom and Joseph found him in the temple or
when He suffered agony in the garden or
when He was Scourged at the pillar or
when He was crowned with thorns or
when He carried His cross or
when He was Crucified or
when He rose from the dead or
when He ascended into Heaven or
when He sent the Holy Spirit or
when He assumed his mom into Heaven or
when He crowned her Queen in Heaven or
to pray like he taught us in scripture.
then in my sorrow to hear Him say
the most comforting words
"Go now, your sins are forgiven" 7
You would be the first Roman Catholic to say that. I am encouraged to see this.
...but would it be alright with you, if for instance I was actually able to talk directly to Jesus...
You can and this is the Scriptural solution to the issue at hand.
9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us. 1My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1 John 1:9-2 John 2:2 NASB
... or His representative here on earth...
if it makes you feel better, but only Christ forgives our sins and our appeal is only to Him.
... and tell Him how sorry I was that I stole your car...
If the Him is Jesus, then this is very Scriptural.
and then He asked me to think about His mother while I meditate on the time:....
A non-Scriptural position. Thinking about Mary or Paul or Peter does us no good in this situation.
when He assumed his mom into Heaven or
Not supported by Scripture nor Tradition.
when He crowned her Queen in Heaven or..
Not supported by and rejected by Scripture. If you're appealing to Revelation 12:1 you have to include 12:2. Rev 12:2 speaks of the woman crying out in pain which would be an indication of being under the curse issued in Genesis.
The subject of the passage doesn't change in this sentence. There is no grammatical rule that would allow this.
to pray like he taught us in scripture.
If so, the Roman Catholic will direct their prayers to God. There is no teaching of praying to departed believers in the New Testament.
then in my sorrow to hear Him say the most comforting words "Go now, your sins are forgiven"
He's already told us this in His Word.
