Sorry. I don't think your font was big enough for the Blessed Mother to see it from Heaven. After all it must be far away. Millions and millions of miles away, or something like that.
“Again; what is the GIFT am I lacking??”
Plenty. Find out.
“I think you’ve confused me with cereal boy...”
Not in the least.
"You smell of elderberries" is personal...
Anything else is a mere flesh wound.
You’re thinking of Kobol...
Where do I look?
I think you meant Kolob.
It was a greeting from the angel to Mary. It was not a prayer and nowhere is it commanded to repeat it as a prayer.
Try again.
“Where do I look?”
Where do you think? Oh, wait. Let me rephrase that: Where, if you were to think about it, would you go to find that information?
*seems to me*....
Does that make it your own personal interpretation?
Well, by Catholic standards, that just invalidates anything you have to say after that.
Thanks for admitting that I’m right.
However, it may come close to "potty language" which i would avoid.
But while you may not like the broad brush, it is you again which posted another article broadly attacking Protestantism while the fruit of Rome overall is more liberal than historical Prots. Something about taking the beam out of your own eye. I
These guys sound like Shia and Sunni.
And they sure as hell don’t sound christian.
that would be someone asking Mary to intervene with her Son to assist them with a particular problem...as Catholics do now...
Well, if that's all that scripture is, a historical account, then how can it command anything? Are the ad-hoc prayers of a protestant eccesial community explicitly laid out in Sacred Scripture?
Perhaps you should peruse what's below. I think this gives a fuller idea of the Catholic position on Sacred Scripture and what is lacking in protestantism:
In Christianity, Lectio Divina (Latin for divine reading) is a traditional Benedictine practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of God's Word. It does not treat Scripture as texts to be studied, but as the Living Word.
if you don't give me a hint as to which of my brilliant posts that you refer to...I don't know which one you apparently agree with...
Indeed. Out of approx. 200 prayers to Heaven in Scripture, there is exactly ZERO to anyone else in Heaven but the Lord - except by pagans* - nor does someone interceding something on earth mean they have Divine power to hear virtually infinite prayers in Heaven addressed to them - someone for which there is also ZERO evidence of any created being doing.
But autocratic Rome, presuming Divine powers, calls things that are not as if they were.
But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers... (Jeremiah 44:17)
you are probably right...there have been at least 6 new storefront Protestant churches in our community in the last year (Blue ball church???? Church without spot or wrinkle???)
