You say potato I say potaaato. You say Spirit I say soul. We are saying the same thing.

Hi EG, I think you are saying that the "local church" is built on Christ. If so, I agree with that. Paul even said to the Corinthian church about the church in Corinth that he is a master builder and that he laid the foundation of that church and someone else is building upon it (1...

Hi EG, You are right, the Church is built ON Christ. So according to Scripture 'who' is "on" Christ? Paul said to the Corinthians he laid a foundation for their church. What does that mean? Bible Study Mary

True, I would be asking a living bodily person to pray for me. How does that bodily person then pray to God for me? Is it their body OR soul that prays to God? I believe it is the LIVING soul, not the living body. If a living soul that is stained with sin her on earth can pray for me why...

Good point.

True. But in the context we as Christians use the word this part of the definition ois more applicable: to address God or a god with adoration, confession, supplication, or thanksgiving

My definition of praying to someone: making a request to an entity (God) or person (Jesus) that can actually give you what you are asking for. I think I now understand your definition of praying; asking someone to do something. Did it get that right?

Thank you for sharing that beautiful image of the Mother of God. You are correct. One can have faith without works; like the thief on the cross. But he didn't have time to do the works. He died pretty quickly after professing his faith. I read on the internet that he died of Covid 19!! :)...

Will you pray for me to have a clear mind to end my confusion on what you are saying?

It kind of makes sense if that was the only passage in Scripture that talks about reconciliation. What is the ministry of reconciliation that God gave us in 2 Corinthians 5:18? I guess I should back up a little bit here and make sure we are on the same page: What is YOUR definition of...

I believe that thought is post #302....:)

Yes, you are confused. Asking someone to pray for us is not praying to them to pray for us....

If I ask you to pray for me am I praying to you?

I know that you know about these passages but I will entertain you so I can see where you are going with this: ;) Enoch: Genesis 5:24 says that God “took” him, but doesn’t say where. Sirach 44:16 and 49:14 make it clear that he was taken :rolleyes:up from the earth, and Hebrews 11:5 adds “so...

Thank you for going first. It helps me see what point you are trying to make. Yes, in general I would agree with that. To the best of my memory the reconciliation we received thru the death of Jesus was the removal of original sin of which we had because of Adam (Romans 5:12). But...

I honestly don't know how to answer it any better than I did. :(

Yes, praying to Mary would be heretical. You and the Catholic Church agree with each other!!! :rolleyes:

See post #261

Ummmm.....I was hoping for an answer and I am not in the mood for dodgeball. Thank you for your time

His death ALSO reconciled us! Scripture makes it clear there is more than one way to reconciliation. I would refer you to Romans 8:7 and Colossians 1:21-22 about the "enemies" thing.
