Because there is no “Three tiers of devotion” and the asking dead believers to pray for you is witchcraft as practiced by Saul and condemned by Samuel. (Notice I didn’t say that Catholics pray to the dead as they are often accused of doing)
Mary was a simple human woman, she was favored by God but she was not sinless,divine or in any spiritual way special. She also was not assumed into Heaven. Indeed you can see her tomb near the ancient city of Ephesus I believe. The Eastern Orthodox church knows where she was buried.
That said she was the human mother Christ. She has a special place in history and in the hears of Christians where she is honored but true Christians do not believe in the immaculate conception of Mary.
She is an important figure without doubt, as Abraham and Moses are. I’m not sure why anyone would pray to her.
She was a human, not a deity, not even an angel. Praying to her would have no more effect than praying to Moses. They were human, and have passed into the blessed eternity. They’re beyond us now.
What do they believe?
so the Mother of God was stained by sin ?
the Almighty God couldn’t do anything better in the search for the bearer of His Beloved Son ?
why put human limitations on The Almighty ?
and as for dead believers,when does your eternal life begin ?
Nice post and not snarky.
There are other Christians who also believe Mary was buried in Jerusalem as well. There is a shrine in that city as well.
