[/size][/font]When we ask say, "Mary, please pray for me," that is no different than you going to your friend and asking him to pray for you. We can also converse with Mary the way you would converse with your friend. God is the only one we pray to. The thing is when we have a conversation...

Hello Sniper, There is nothing on Catholic teaching that gives a date as to when Adam was created. We know that Adam was created. When he was created is irrelevant to us. The important thing is knowing that God created everything in the universe. In Christ, Selene

Hello Sniper, I don't understand what does this have to do with Catholicism. Do you have a question for Catholics that pertains to our faith? That is what this thread is about. In Christ, Selene

As a matter of fact, even King David was able to address the Angels in Heaven when he told them to bless the Lord (See Psalm 103:20-21). If David can speak to the Angels in Heaven, then so can we. And we actually do. We ask the Angels to keep watch over us in the same way that you would ask a...

My brother, we follow everything that Jesus did when He was walking on the earth 2000 years ago. Jesus DID submit to His mother Mary. We also do the same thing He did. That was how Jesus glorified His mother, by being subject under her and being obedient to her (See Luke 2:51). When Jesus...

St. Paul referred to himself as "father" in 1 Corinthians 4:15. The fact that St. Paul entrusted Timothy everything he learned and then instruct Timothy to also entrust faithful men the same teaching so that they in turn would teach others shows that the Apostles DID appoint someone to...

Hello TexUs, I would be happy to answer your questions. They are a lot of questions, so I will try to address it one at a time: 1. Worship: You ask are we not remembering Mary and the Saints? The answer is Yes. We remember Mary and the saints just as you remember your loved ones who...

I compared God's command not to make any image to all things such as images of your loved ones, the statue of Lady Liberty and the founding fathers, toy dolls, etc... All of these fall under that category. We know that we have only one Father in Heaven, who is God. We are not confused. We...

I have noticed that you ignored the fact that Jesus also said call no one your "teacher." I have already provided biblical evidence showing you that the Apostles called other men and even themselves "teacher" and "father." Yet, you are unable to refute that fact in the Bible. Perhaps, you...

As I pointed out in an earlier post, one needs to only look up the definition for the word "Vicar." According to Dictionary.com, vicar is defined as the following: Church of England . a. a person acting as priest of a parish in place of the rector, or as representative of a religious...

Hello Marksman, We do not pray to Mary. We ask Mary to pray for us. In Christ, Selene

Hello Anastacia, I will be happy to answer your questions and clear up the misconceptions regarding "father" as Jesus said in Matthew 23:9. Matthew 23:8-10 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren. And call no man your father on earth, for you...

I see....so now that you know that "Vicar OF Christ" refers to as the Bishop of Rome rather than as Christ, you now move on to the next topic, which is "apostolic succession?" And how quick you are to judge our faith as false? Do you see me judging your faith as false, my sister? Why do you...

Exodus 20:4 You shall not MAKE for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Do you see what it says in just this one verse? It says "Do not MAKE any form of anything on the earth." If you are going to judge us of committing...

My sister, you misunderstand the term "Vicar of Christ." The term actually means "bishop of Rome." A vicar is a servant who stands in place of the real sovereign in some administrative matters of his kingdom, equivalent titles include "representative" or "overseer". A vicar is not God...

Hello Anastacia, Nowhere in Catholic teaching does it ever said that Jesus is the Church. Jesus is the Head of the Church. Nowhere in Catholic teaching does it say that the Church died for us. We have always taught that it was Christ who died on the cross. By pleasing the Lord, Catholics...

If you take the first commandment of God literally, then why do you have images of your loved ones in your home and in your wallet? The first commandment specifically states not to make any likeness that is in the earth.....and yes, my friend, that WOULD include the doll that you have for your...

I have noticed that so far all you have done is focus on "bowing." What about the part where God commanded not to make any likeness on earth. This is what the First commandment says: Exodus 20:4 You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth...

Actually, the Bible says not to bow down to them in WORSHIP, which is exactly what we follow. The Bible also says not to make any likeness of anything on earth....and you have no problems with that? If it is okay for you to violate the first commandment of God by making an image in the...

I agree. We are not supposed to bow down in worship. And we follow this. We bow down as a sign of respect. This has always been an Asian and Middle Eastern custom. Bowing is also a sign of respect in Asia (where I am from) and the Middle East. Jesus was brought up in the Middle East where...
