"To say that Mary can actually hear whatever you pray when you address her is not found in scripture. To say that even if she could hear you, that she will do something about it, that she has a power to do anything about it, that Jesus will always do everything she asks... no where to be found in scripture."

It was on Mary's cue, that God began his public ministry. It's manifest, that she holds the deep concerns of her Son. At the banquet she said the same thing as is found in Matt 17, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!". The 2 are one in Spirit.

John 8:56
Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."

Now if Abraham saw Jesus's day, can you tell us why Mary would not see your day?

" The fact is you should not pray to anyone but God *even if that prayer is for intersession*..."

What is prayer, are you not talking to God? Is a prayer thread forbidden?

spunkets, I acknowledge that scripture records that event. It does not teach anything beyond what is recorded, however. We are not talking about what happened once and was recorded. We are talking about making it into a doctrine going forward.

Not sure about the rest of your post. Perhaps you are addressing someone elses comments there?
