Is Prayer/Veneration/Worship to Mary Biblical?

[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.

He likes to reveal things as we are capable of understanding them.....no hurry!!

2 Corinthians 1:13
For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand.

Matthew 15:16
   "Are you still so dull?" Jesus asked them.

I can't believe that this thread is still alive. 6,500+

Prots got a lot of hate!

>>I convey the meaning of the text<<

As you see them - AKA interpretation.

>>I will study the Church doctrine<<

Well then put your faith in the "Church". Good luck with that.

Your quoting "no prophecy>/b> of scripture is made by private interpretation" doesn't help your case at all. I simply makes it look like you don't know the difference between the word prophesy and interpretation.

>>Muslims have chosen to invent another god to serve<<

Not according to your church catechism.

CCC 841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."

>>"Righteousness" instead of "justice" is fine, -- it is the same Greek word.<<

Oh really?

Righteousness - צְדָקָה - tsedaqah - Strong's #6666

judgment - κρίσιν - krisin - Strong's #2920

You perhaps should correct the Greek scholars on that. They would certainly be interested in your "explanation" I would think.

The need for self justification is strong with some. I couldn’t have even accepted Christ without the Father drawing me.

[CynicalBear]

Paul obviously wasn’t talking to Catholics there.

[verga]

Weren't you warned about that language before?

By whom?

Is your hate so strong you just can't help yourself?

Speaking the truth is not hate. Jesus had no trouble describing the Sadducees and Pharisees as vipers etc....

I am merely following the example of the greatest teacher.

[PeterPrinciple]

Here’s what I’ve learned so far about interpreting the world: Every social exchange or situation is a Rorschach test.

How about a different perspective.

Truth is absolute, it is not relative.

God is truth and he has revealed some of who He is to us. We better spend some time trying to get at that truth because it has eternal aspects.

Jesus came to cause division, not to unify us.................

[Mark17]

Haven't seen any change in most Papists. ;-)

I can't believe I used to be a papist. 😄😃😀 Actually, I never thought of myself as a papist, but I guess you could call it that 😄 Keep preaching the truth bro, no matter what they say. And the books were opened.

I can't believe I used to be a papist.

If you were a Prod swimming the Tiber there would be a thread about you on FR with the FROman Catholics high fiving each other!

[Mark17]

Good one GC. CW, can you come up with a good one too?

[af_vet_1981]

You have totally missed the point. The judgment is on you, because you have called David a murderer of Uriah, and that claim is simply not so. That claim is eisegesis, reading into Scripture something that is not there, and thus making God a liar.

Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
--2 Samuel in catholic chapter twelve, protestant verse nine, as authorized by King James.

Now THAT'S proper use of Scripture on these forums, vet!
