Hello, stalker.
For Lent, I’m praying a Hail Mary for you with your every post to me.
Praying for a miracle.
the laity must end this nonsense.....its the only way.....we haven’t left the church....the church has left us.....

I see your paranoia continues.
You post an open thread....you best be prepared for comments.
If you can't handle it, head on back to your two or three post caucus threads.
Get that help, ebb....real soon.
...Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and the hour of our death. Amen
Why not pray straight to God as noted in the New Testament?
Hail Mary, full of grace, ...
I feel for you, ebb. You're as lost as a new born puppy.
...Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
I leave you with your Brown Scapular.
In none of your pictures have you shown a sacrificial offering being made to Mary or one of the saints. Try again.
What has been shown are acts of worship of a created being.
No, what you have shown are acts of reverence. No sacrifice, no worship. Worship in the Bible is always an act of sacrifice, the offering of an oblation to God. The problem is not that Catholics allegedly worship Mary and the the saints; it is that Protestants do not in fact worship God. While Protestants do offer praise and thanksgiving to God, which are praiseworthy acts in themselves, these are not worship. Thus when they see Catholics showing reverence to Mary and the saints, they confuse these acts with their own lesser acts of reverence toward God. The only act of worship that Catholics have is the sacrifice of the Mass; and this is directed to God alone.
Yeah, just like Satan tried to "help" Eve.
I'll have nothing to do with either of you
No that is just plain old garden variety heresy and blasphemy
Yeah, just like Satan tried to "help" Eve. I'll have nothing to do with either of you.

I'm not the one wearing a Brown Scapular.
Paul had this to say about believing a false message as you've done with the Brown Scapular.
6 I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;
7 which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.
8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!
9 As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!
Galatians 1:6-9 NASB
No, what you have shown are acts of reverence.
Actually, what I've shown is Roman Catholic idolatry.
They have made an image of the created and worship it contradicting what the New Testament says about this.
Worship in the Bible is always an act of sacrifice, the offering of an oblation to God.
There is no sacrifice we can offer that is sufficient to God. That's is the reason Christ died on the Cross for our sins. HE is the sacrifice.
While Protestants do offer praise and thanksgiving to God, which are praiseworthy acts in themselves, these are not worship.
You do not understand what worship is.
Prayer, songs, giving thanks, praises....are all acts of worship. And Rome directs all of these to Mary.
The sacrifice that we offer is Jesus on the Cross made present in the Mass.
Prayer, songs, giving thanks, praises....are all acts of worship.
Not per se, only when directed to what one considers a god. Do you not ask others to help? Are you worshipping them? Do you not patriotic songs about America? Are you worshipping the country? Do you not give thanks to those who help you? Are you worshipping them? Do you not praise those who perform great deeds? Are you worshipping them? No Catholic considers either Mary or any of the saints to be a god; there is no worship.
There is only one act that is reserved to God alone, and that is sacrifice. Catholics offer the sacrifice of Jesus on the Cross to God alone in the Mass. Protestants, on the other hand, offer no such sacrifice. Although the acts of reverence they offer to God is done in a superlative way, they are not acts that per se are reserved to God alone. Protestants' lack of true worship through sacrifice (which was how worship is done in the Bible) leads them to misunderstanding what Catholics do.
Righteousness means holiness.
Are you sure you are talking about the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC and APOSTOLIC CHURCH?
Cupich is not a true Catholic priest.
