Mary has no influence on Jesus to deliver souls, pizza, or a big screen tv (I'm not certain on the pizza and tv)...
Salvation is a personal decision...We have assurance and confidence that God doesn't need Mary's help and that God will finish what He started...
Php 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
It is my [simple] understanding that the trinity are the only omnipresence.
In other words, if Mary could intercede on our behalf, if she could even hear us, she could only listen to one of us at a time.
My apologies conservativegramma...Post 1311 was supposed to be addressed to SoothingDave...
Iscool, I agree with you. My quote “In the first excerpt, Mary is praying to her Son to deliver our souls” was a quote from SOMEONE ELSE.....then “I” responded: “She [Mary] has no power of her own.”
Hope that clears things up for you. You are absolutely correct that ‘Mary has no influence on Jesus to deliver souls, pizza, or a big screen tv...” (LOL @ the pizza, big screen tv remark)
