re: your post when you die you will be “praising God.”
When each of us die the truth will be revealed. And before you tell us all we need to know is in the Bible, remember what Paul said about what we see and know now being somewhat unclear, like in a mirror. You know the verse.
None of us know God, but those of reading this thread know He exists. And some of us belong to the church that Jesus founded. The Bible doesn’t say you shouldn’t pray to Jesus’ mother. And yes, I know it doesn’t say you should. But in fact, we know the power of her intercession through the story of the wedding at Cana.
The more important question is: Why are you here? Read what the other posters are saying about the devil hating the Rosary. What exactly are you trying to prove? I say this not to insult you, but to encourage you to explore your motivations.
All the verses you quote only prove that you know the Bible.
We do, too. And we also know the power of the rosary.
Flee from idolatry.
God revealed the truth in the Bible, That is how we know God.
The Bible doesn’t say you shouldn’t pray to Jesus’ mother.
It also does not say that Jesus was a space alien or gay ..so maybe jesus was really a gay space alien .
That is why sound doctrine is never built on the silence of scripture.. We do know that Scripture never speaks of mary as a part of his earthly ministry once it was initiated . We do know he never sent anyone to his mother because they were sick or hurting ..
We do know the new church never once speaks of her after Pentecost where she , like all the others received the Holy Spirit. That is all God wants us to know of Mary
All the verses you quote only prove that you know the Bible. We do, too. And we also know the power of the rosary.
If one really knows the Bible, they know where to direct their prayer.
Mat 6: 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
7When you pray, don't babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again.
<< Luke 11 >>
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
I think in the future, all of the Catholic threads shoud be restricted to Catholics, I’m so tired of all the catholic bashing, its very unchristian.
