I'm aware that I'll probably never convince you that Mary is dead; and I can tell you that you'll not convince me that she is alive.

I can only pray (to GOD) that your extra belief in this matter will not affect your relationship with him.

You can pray (to Mary) that my lack of respect for your chosen religion's teachings about her will not affect my relationship with GOD.

Elsie in post #1290:  "And Mary is surely dead."

Elsie in post #1291:  "You can pray (to Mary) that my lack of respect for your chosen religion's teachings about her will not affect my relationship with GOD."

=============================================================

Well, Elsie, if you don't believe Jesus Christ, I'm sure you certainly won't believe me about that either.

However, let me remind you once again of what Jesus Christ plainly said:

✝============================================================✝

"But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.   Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living; for all live to him."
Luke 20:37-38

✝============================================================✝

And as for that second request you made there, I will actually pray that your lack of respect for the Church founded by Jesus Christ (and for His Church's teachings) will RADICALLY affect your relationship with God, and that no matter what it takes, He will eventually convince you of ALL the truths He entrusted to His Church, and completely forgive you for your temporary rejection of those truths.

We can all be thankful that God is very forgiving and compassionate.    (Jesus Christ even forgave those disrespectful, snarky ignoramuses who sneeringly mocked him on the cross, perversely deriding and reviling him, and Jesus actually prayed for them, "Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."   (Luke 23:34)
