[Notwithstanding]

I greet and ask my friends for thier prayers for my salvation ALL THE TIME. Most Christians do. Why you refuse to follow greet Mary and ask her for her prayers for your salvation is beyond me.

Can you imagine Jesus breaking the 10 commandments by refusing to honor His mother? Since Jesus obviously honored His mother, we all should follow his lead.

Jesus did not worship his mother, nor did he once pray to her or elevate her. In fact, he downplayed her, stressing a far greater importance upon being his disciple, in Mark 3:31-35. And the fact that he honored her does not at all imply to me that I am to honor his mother-my own yes, but why his?

Hi Notwithstanding! I have a question, no Catholic bashing intended from this Independent Baptist, but one thing struck me about your post, could you clarify please? Why do you feel it necessary to ask your friends to pray for your salvation? Aren't you already sure of your eternal destiny, or am I misunderstanding the intent of your words?

Thanks much. Your statement just jumped out at me. And thanks for your abortion threads/posts - I appreciate them very much when I catch them.
