Is Prayer/Veneration/Worship to Mary Biblical?
self | 12-14-14 | ealgeone

Posted on 12/14/2014 11:57:21 AM PST by ealgeone

The reason for this article is to determine if the worship/veneration given to Mary by the catholic church is justified from a Biblical perspective. This will be evaluated using the Biblical standard and not man’s standard.

Self condemned, they're only hurting themselves and those they take with them.

I suppose it beats being condemned by others who have only my best interests in mind.

Why is that so hard to understand? I just do not understand.

Surely they are smart enough to read the Bible to find out what It says instead of listening to men tell them what to think and believe.

 
" The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success
unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly -
- it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over."

What are your thoughts about the Protevangelium of James?

I just learned of it last Sunday on the History Channel's Banned from The Bible program. Fascinating info about Mary's life!

MY thoughts are that ROME screwed up by NOT including it in the BIBLE when they had a chance!

Peter, what is mission creep?

When one starts to drain the swamp; and is funded for that; the engineer decides that adding artificial islands would be nice; or maybe a few trout pools, or an alligator petting zoo, cabana rentals and fishing lessons from the staff.

When you have blather to say...

your miniscule posts, like this one are meaningless because no one knows to what you are referring.

LOL, continuing the condescending little digs huh?

Her jabs are quite harmless love tickles; compared to some of the BIG trash talkers the Catholics have on their FR team.

Personally, Mary has become far more interesting to me than simply as someone we think of only at Christmas, as used to be the case with me.

We've noticed.

What kind of attempts is your church trying to get your C&E Catholics to become more faithful in their attendance?

To me and my thinking, any reverence given to Mary is also given to the Holy Trinity at the same time...

Church Lady says, "Well! Ain't THAT special!!"

You rant and all I see is blah blah blah and a bunch of scripture posted out of context.

Interesting point you've noticed.

Just HOW do you determine if it is OUT OF CONTEXT?

The thing I try to keep in mind is that protestantism is a vast intellectual wasteland.

Well; there seems to be plenty of room for it.

The matter has been settled anyone that says otherwise is a narrow minded bigot.

Folks; you just can NOT make this stuff up!

, but at least there is consistency with your manner of debate.

Mary is dead; and anyone who disagrees with this is...

... gave birth to Him, raised and cared for Him, etc.? ...

I'd think that there should be a LOT of Jesus' diapers around as relics.

If there are NONE; I think that would PROVE; uh; something.
