To "Pray" in its simplest definition simply means to "ASK", to "SUPPLICATE". "Pray" doesn't always mean "worship." YOU just prayed to us to answer your questions. However, I know the difference between a request and worship - even though you and Job don't. Definition of the word “PRAY”...

It is totally irrelevant because this is NOT was is taking place when I ask Mary to pray for me. You are very confused here . . .

I would have to add "ignorant" to that description. I've debated SOME bright anti-Catholics, who would at least put up some sort of intelligible response as they were going down in flames. Our friend Job here seems to be perfectly comfortable to wallow in ignorance . . .

Actually - I would prefer an intelligent response - but I'm not holding my breath. Hey - at least you've exposed your ignorance before all of the readers here . . .

Paul is talking about idolators, Einstein. Was Moses an idol worshipper when he made 2 golden cherubim and put them on top of the ark?? How about when he made a bronze serpent and placed it on a pole so that the sick would be healed?? GOD Himself commanded him to create these graven images. Is...

Ummmm - after a few exchanges with Job - I don't think he has the capacity to respond to this sort if intelligent dialogue . . .

I see how you completely failed to answer my questions in post #220. Here they are again for your review: 1. When a soldier kisses his girlfriend's picture that he carries in his wallet - does that make the soldier an IDOLATOR because he kissed a graven image? 2. When a grieving person...

Who called you a name?? I referred to you as "Sparky", which is a term of endearment, like "Buddy." You don't know your Bible very well - do you?? Necromancy is the OT prohibition from seeking oracles from the dead. In other words - to glean information FROM them. Asking a saint in Heaven to...

Hmmmm, this doesn't seem to be sinking in. I'll make is as simplistic as I can for a person with your limited abilities: A person asks Mary or another saint in Heaven to pray FOR them - just as they wold ask another member of the Body of Christ here on earth to do. Are you with me so far...

No, they're not, Einstein. Why do you persist in lying?? I've already explained to you that they aren't conversing with statues. A statue or a painting or a rosary - or a Bible are all prayer or worship aids, not idols. Didn't anybody ever teach you what an "idol" is?? Allow me to educate...

Well - this type of denial that happens when you have tens of thousands of disjointed and perpetually-splintering Protestant sects all teaching different doctrines - yet all claiming to have the "Truth."

And if you want to stick your head in the sand about this relevant topic - then please continue to do so.

First of all - a blood transfusion is not the same as "drinking" the blood of another. There were plenty of battles where blood was mixed from wound to wound and I'm sure God didn't have a problem with it. I think you're all splitting hairs here. Secondly, you keep dismissing the implications...

You don't - and that's precisely why you don't get it. None of them are praying to statues. Hey, ummmm - I'm not the one who bought into all of that Alexander Hislop "Semiramis" nonsense just because I saw it on Youtube. But, I'm not laughing. I always feel sorry for lost, gullible people like...

Oh - it's on Youtube, so it MUST be true - right? Unbelievably ignorant. Which part of this illustrates “worship”?? Other than the ominous music in the background while showing people in prayer – this video is silly. It purports that Catholics “worship” Mary – which is a complete and total...

I would be more than happy to properly educate you which Catholic doctrines you think are wrong and your reasons for making this claim - should you like to start a thread about it. The difference between the Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Taoism, Baha'i faiths is that they are not the Original Tree...

Jesus commands us to partake in consuming His Body and Blood (Luke 22:19, 1 Cor. 11:24). How do you rationalize your way out of this?

Careful - your abject ignorance is showing again . . . First of all - the Church NEVER sold salvation for money. This is just another anti-Catholic fairy tale that you've all swallowed hook, line and sinker. The selling of Indulgences was an abuse by men like Johann Tetzel. It was NEVER...

That's absolutely incorrect. R*E*A*D the words of Ignatius, written while the Apostle John was still alive: Ignatius of Antioch Follow your bishop, every one of you, as obediently as Jesus Christ followed the Father. Obey your clergy too as you would the apostles; give your deacons the same...

That's a good idea - read HISTORY. The Catholic Church is the ONLY entity that can show an unbroken like of Apostolic Succession. YOUR cult can't. The Baptists cant. The Lutherans can't. The Methodists can't. The Pentecostals can't. The Reformed Evangelicals can't. The Jehovah's Witnesses...
