From the viewpoint of one who reads Scripture and has a reasonable amount of good sense and curiosity, such things as praying to Mary or anyone else but God Himself, or not KNOWING FOR SURE THAT YOU ARE SAVED, SACTIFIED AND SURE OF YOUR PLACE IN HEAVEN WHEN GOD CALLS YOUR NAME run absolutely COUNTER to God’s Own, sure Words. I have yet to find these things in my 3-4 favorite English translations, but I have another 35 to go through yet. If anyone can point me to book, chapter and verse, as well as version, I would be ever so grateful.

Come on now...you know you can't read and understand the clear teachings of the Bible without someone to tell you what it means....:)

Come on now...you know you can't read and understand the clear teachings of the Bible without someone to tell you what it means....:)

I mean really, how can thousands of different denominations have different understandings of those clear teachings of the Bible (not to mention all the lone rangers out there who don't really agree with anyone but their spouses, if they have one, once a year) ?
