Look. I asked for Scripture saying it was okay to discuss theology etc on the Internet. Haven't received ONE VERSE showing it's okay to discuss theology ON THE INTERNET. Not one.
YOU brought up a verse about confessin Christ. Even though the translation was dishonest, it's a fine verse. But, as I said, it doesn't mention the internet, electornics, keyboards, all that.
So we would think about the verse. We would wonder what sort of differenc electronics made. But the VERSE did NOT say it.
So I would be dishonest, wouldn't I., to go around saying I asked and I got NOT ONE VERSE, NOT good enough!
Clearly, UNLESS you are not really asking a question, CLEARLY the answer to your question will not be, can not be one or even two or three verses.
JUST as clearly there may be an answer if we take a number of verse AND their implications and think about them. Maybe there will be room in that process to develop a concept of the intercession of the saints.
But in the meantime, If all you do is say, I asked and they dodn't show me a verse, then all I will say in reply is, I asked and you didn't show me permission to discuss this online.
Get it?
This isn't high school debate club. This is people who love Jesus trying to discuss and to discern the things of God. If you are interested in victory, God will give it to you, but it won't be what you want. If you are interested in the victory of the Truth, the Son of God, then, with good will because we share the same goal, let us proceed. But let us do so as men and brothers and not as high school twits.
Sola scriptura teaches that scripture is sufficient for us to be saved by faith in Jesus, and to fully prepare us for “every good work”.
Posting on the Internet is not a good work, by itself.
Proclaiming the Gospel IS a good and joyful work, regardless of the mode of transmission.
Nothing in sola scriptura teaches that you cannot pray to Mary, but the lack of positive instruction to do so suggests it is neither a requirement nor part of “every good work”.
However, praising Mary for an answered prayer IS disturbing, since it suggests she gained your request special attention...as an earthly mother of the King might, although not always with the desired outcome - see 2 Kings 2:
“22King Solomon answered his mother, “And why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my older brother, and on his side are Abiathar the priest and Joab the son of Zeruiah.” 23Then King Solomon swore by the LORD, saying, “God do so to me and more also if this word does not cost Adonijah his life! 24Now therefore as the LORD lives, who has established me and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today.” 25So King Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and he struck him down, and he died.”
