Good. Then if you finally are able to acknowledge after the roundabout and diversionary arguments you put forth about Her RELEVANCE and do acknowledge that She exists, then back to the original post: She intercedes for us when we ask just as any Mother would for their children which is what the ORIGINAL post was all about. I consider Her Mother of the Christian church.

I believe She intercedes as the church bulletin mentions because the people know to ask Her to do so.

Does your particular belief prohibit you from asking for intercession?

And don't misquote me either, as self righteous as you might wish to appear.

Take your particular self righteousness elsewhere; it has no effect on me except to show me you are narrow and rigid and have no tolerance for the belief of people such as those in New Orleans who are attempting to cling faith and beliefs which have sustained them in the past.

And don't misquote me either, as self righteous as you might wish to appear.

I have no righteous of my own. I deserved to burn in hell forever. But thank God for Jesus. He died on the cross for my sins and yours. But that's not all He did. When He took our sins from us, he clothed us with His righteousness. Therefore we are the righteous of God in Christ. Not because we earned it; He gave it to us. And because we are clothed with His righteousness, we can come directly before His throne. Again, as God tells us in the book of Hebrews: Heb 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." I am not self-righteous; I'm just clothed with His righteousness, and so are all believers.
