You may believe that, but if you aren't in communion with the ECLA the following does not apply to you:
mutual recognition of Baptism and a sharing of the Lord's Supper, allowing for joint worship and an exchangeability of members
mutual recognition and availability of ordained ministers to the service of all, subject to the disciplinary regulations of other denominations
common commitment to evangelism, witness and service
means of common decision-making on critical common issues of faith and life
mutual lifting of any condemnations that exist between denominations
Jesus said come to ME ALL YE that are weary are heavy Laden and I will give you rest. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Jesus did not say come to my mother in the flesh and she may give you access to my rest. There you have it from the mouth of God himself.
Mary is no intermediary for your deliverance or anybody else’s. Jesus said YOU come to ME.
You either believe the man who is God or you believe any false religion that has a different view than the stated view of the Almighty himself.
Jesus is right and ALL of us are wrong compared to him. Even HIS mother... You do WHAT HE says.
Jesus alone is the Savior. Mary would be the 1st person to tell you that.
Mary would also tell you that she couldn’t even save a bag of paper plates. NOT HER JOB! And they did not exist at the time.
Attributing to Mary the nature and character of Almighty God himself borders on blasphemy.
I’ve said prayer sincerely to Mary with all my heart and got nothing. I say prayers to Jesus and I get action now.
Only Jesus. Period.
You speak for non-Catholics now? Based on what?
Catholics are the most divisive group of Christianity going.
They will do and say anything to drive a wedge between other believers.
You know something?
I. DON'T. CARE.
I consider MomMD and Luircin to be a sister and brother in Christ, saved by the grace of God.
I can worship with them, pray with them, fellowship with them, and serve and minister with them.
And I expect to see them in heaven some day.
