You cannot live your life well (in a Godly sense) and bash anyone's faith. That includes Jews, Protestants, Catholics, and so forth.

And, yes, both Mary and her Son speak to me (they'll speak with anyone who respects and Loves them); through the Bible, the Most Holy Eucharist (His Living Bread), the angels and the popes and the saints. (Not to mention Reconciliation, Adoration, and so on ...)

If one feels the need to give Catholics a hard time, is it because own their faith is weak? Or as Quix says:
2. I am not sure I have venom even toward satan.

Jesus Himself never railed against Satan, all He ever did was rebuke him. Through Christ, believers have power over Satan as well.

I’m beginning to wonder if some children are playing with your keyboard and account.

I don’t NEED to have venom toward satan.

He is doomed. Christ won at the Cross and the Resurrection.

He is defeated.

He will be bound after Armageddon.

God is and always has been in full control.

Venom is poisonous. I don’t need to harbor poison in my heart even toward satan.

/roll eyes....

Not THAT old canard again......

That is what everyone resorts to when losing an argument.

Praying to Mary, or ANYONE else for that matter, is NOT instructed or commanded in the Bible.

If you perceive that speaking the truth is giving someone a *hard time* then you need to look at what you're really believing.

Read the Gospels and tell me ANYWHERE where Jesus commands us to pray to ANYONE besides God the Father.

Either a person is a Christian, on their way to becoming a child of God, or they are a son of Satan. The Bible makes clear that these are the only two choices.

If a person is not praying to, following, obeying, Christ and His Father who sent Him, then they are praying to, following, obeying Satan.

This means that Jews, Romeians, Maryians, etc. are all heading for eternal damnation.

Christians are called to preach the Word. This Word will lead all who listen to it away from faith in anything other than God.

Not sure how you can refer to the Great Commission as “bashing”.
