Jeremiah chapter 7. Many men want a goddess to pray to. Those of us who don't and understand that God forbids it, will never understand the need.

The Roman Catholic Church is the big box store of religion, it can't stand all the independents

!!!!!CONTROL!!!!! AND !!!!DEMANDS!!!!!

are inherent bone marrow characteristics of virtually all bureaucracies—particularly RELIGIOUS ones.

"Many men want a goddess to pray to. Those of us who don't and understand that God forbids it, will never understand the need."

I simply cannot wrap my head around that one. John makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR NO ONE gets to the Father, except through the Son.

I am also trying to find something in the Bible that says it's okay for us to pray to Mary or Saints, but I couldn't find anything, so I googled.....

The explanation's I found on Catholic sites (they used Bible versus) STILL does not give permission TO PRAY TO ANYONE, but The Father, through His Son Jesus.

Unless someone can find me something in the Bible that allows Mary & Saint worship, I still must conclude it is very very bad.

Thanks. Big box Christianity can be very enticing for many brands of Christians. And Jer. 7 is worth pondering, very convicting for me personally. My idolatry is of a more subtle brand, but it’s there. May I have godly sorrow and repentance for my idolatry. Thanks again, Sunday blessings on you and yours.
