Show me where the Bible says Mary is a Saint, that She is in Heaven, that She is listening to anyone's prayers while in Heaven and that it is ok to pray to her.

The Bible says no such thing.

The Bible says we are to pray to GOD alone.

And you know that.

"Show me where the Bible..."

You say this over and over again. Well. Show me in the Bible your rule that everything must be in the Bible to be believed, as a practicing Christian. It's not there, is it?

It does, however, say "Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle." 2 Thess 2:15.

Can you point out to me where in the Bible that oral AND written traditions are no longer to be followed? Or is this another of those man-made traditions?

And finally, to close...

"...the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth." 1 Tim 3:15

So if the Church says that Mary is in heaven, and you trust in the Word of God, you MUST believe that she is there.

Regards

Show me where the Bible says Mary is a Saint

Scripture says she is a favored one of God. You know that.

that She is in Heaven

Scripture says that no one will snatch Christ's own from his hand. You know that.

that She is listening to anyone's prayers while in Heaven

Scripture says that the saints in heaven present prayers of the faithful before the Lamb. You know that.

and that it is ok to pray to her

For the 9,637,881st time prayer to Mary is a figment of your crazed, overactive imagination. You know that.

Catholics ask Mary to pray for them.

You can tell the same lie a million times a day for your entire life, but you're incapable of making your lie true. You know that.

The Bible says no such thing.

Scripture says far more than your carnal nature is able to perceive. That, you do not know, because you read with the eyes of flesh.

The Bible says we are to pray to GOD alone.

Again, Catholics pray to God alone. You know that, but you have exchanged the truth for a lie.
