Do you pray to Mary?
Do you pray to any other saints or deceased believers, in hopes that they may intercede with God on your behalf?
Christ is the Intercessor; the Veil of the Temple was rent. once and for all.
I adore my mother, if she goes before me I will not ask her to intercede..
If you adore your mother, you are an idolater. That’s just the point.
Nobody adores Mary. Nobody.
Why is it that a person can pray for other people before he dies, but the moment he dies, he is powerless to pray for other people?
Why would a Christian, the moment he dies, suddenly have NO LOVE for other Christians still living on earth?
BTW: Why, in the Old and the New Testaments, do angels appear not only with messages, but with the power to render real assistance to people on earth, such as freeing people from prison?
Why would the angels be able to do such things, but deceased Christians totally powerless to do them?
Again: Why is it reasonable to believe that deceased Christians have NO LOVE for Christians on earth?
