Rinny, your own post says that Christ’s mother arrived AFTER his family came to take charge of Him.
Not doing God’s will is sin? Are you doing God’s will right now? I don’t think so. The stench of your posts speaks not of God, but the Adversary. Your ridicule of sacred tradition is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Rest assured of my prayers to the Holy Mother for your contrition, confession, and salvation.
Of course you dont pray to Mary do you. Of course not. Never! Wouldnt think of it! That would be idolatry after all.
*sacred tradition* is nothing but the fantasy of those who are power hungry control freaks who want to have some basis for claiming enough unchallengeable authority to control others.
Jesus condemned tradition every chance He got. Tradition is meaningless. Only the inerrant, God breathed word of God has any authority.
The word of God stands forever, settled in heaven. The traditions of men are NOTHING compared to that.
Wait... what????
Catholics praying TO someone besides God FOR something from them?
I thought that never happened....
Say it ain't so......
