“OK - where in Hebrew, Aramaic or Greek does the Bible say that one Christian can’t ask another Christian for something (i.e. pray in British English)? If you can’t find that verse then I can pray TO Mary.”

Oh, you can of course pray to mary, or a tree, or a leprechaun. That is entirely up to you.

The Mary thing is made up out of whole cloth. Not Biblical at all.

It was made up hundreds of years after Christ. No early Apostle or church leader or Christian prayed to Mary - that we have even a single shred of the weakest evidence to support.

But it is worse...

You do not even know if she can hear your words.
Nor does Mary have any special powers to answer your prayer.
Nor are her prayers any more powerful than any believer in Christ.

In fact, you have the same certainty that the tree can hear you and help you. Plus I hear you can hug them.

Are you saying Mary is not in Heaven?
