So you don’t ask friends and loved ones to pray for you? How odd.
My friends are not graduated from this life when I ask them to pray for me.
Christ spoke of a gulf between the living and the dead.
I believe CHRIST ABOUT THAT GULF. I don’t seek to vainly try and circumvent it with my trumped-up construction on spiritual reality and prayer.
It strikes me as more than a normal straw dog . . . a kind of specially and elaborately constructed straw dog.
Mary is lofted to a pseudo place of very near equality with Christ in a list of ways . . .
such as
FAULTY MARIOLOGY = FAULTY CHRISTOLOGY
YIELDING MARY = CHRIST
QUEEN OF HEAVEN
MOTHER OF US ALL
ASSUMED, PRESUMED, PRETENDED SINLESS
ROBBED OF HER OTHER CHILDREN
yet, claimed as equal to friends living on earth that one asks for prayer.
Which is it?
Is she worthy all this adoration and veneration or is she just one of the gals down the street that one asks for prayer?
