"Does the Bible say it's ok to own a car?... See how ridiculous the argument is? " Exactly. You got it. Thinkin' like a Catholic now!
BTW, I don't understand the part about me having to "ditch Tim Staples," since I do not know who Tim Staples is.

Staples runs a catholic apologetics site. Your examples sound a lot like what he puts out.
>>"Does the Bible say it's ok to own a car?... See how ridiculous the argument is? "<<

I think you miss the point of my example. It's not a compliment to catholicism.

I did answer your question. It is not a question of either/or but of both/and. We can pray to God directly and also ask the saints to pray for us. One does not exclude the other. Now you answer my questions.

At the Visitation, Elizabeth greet Mary with the words, “And how is this that the Mother of my LORD should visit me?”
Remember she was inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Driving a car is not, in itself, a question of faith and morals, and can’t be either prohibited or mandated in terms of how you live your faith life.
However, questions such as the ones I listed above ARE questions related to faith and morals: questions of right and wrong, questions of true and false, questions on the practice of the Faith and the discipline of the Church. But they are not settled -— nor, for the most part, even addressed -— in the Bible.
But they can be answered with authority, because they are dealt with via Sacred Tradition and via the Magisterium (teaching authority) of the Church herself -—an authority conferred on Her by Christ Himself.

The fact remains that Christ came to you through Mary. The Incarnation is, or at least ought to be, at the very center of the Christian life.

Why would you pray to Mary, or the Saints when the Father invites you into a direct intimate relation ship with Him?
Because Catholicism is a religion with strict rules, regulations, and hierarchies to follow if you want to earn your way into heaven. It's not about a relationship with a Savior based on God's grace.

Yes, Christ is the center of the Christian’s life. However, Catholicism seems to reverse that and make Mary the center.

She can't be the mother of God, because we know that God is self existent. He had no beginning. Also, God is Mary's Creator.

In the Old Testament, how was God addressed?
As LORD in my Bible.
Was not Jesus the Son of God and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity?

Just check the text. One of us is right and one is wrong.

To: Old Yeller
Because Catholicism is a religion with strict rules, regulations, and hierarchies to follow if you want to earn your way into heaven. It's not about a relationship with a Savior based on God's grace. You should not speak of what you do not know. All Catholics are called to have a personal relationship with Jesus. We also proclaim that are salvation is by grace alone. Perhaps you should get some faithful Catholics better before you speak of what are relationship with God is.

Yes, Christ is the center of the Christian’s life. However, Catholicism seems to reverse that and make Mary the center. You do not know much about Catholicism, do you?
