Catholics: What does it mean to pray to Mary?

[amigo de christo]

I'm born again from above by the Grace of God through Jesus Christ. There is only the body of Christ, as Jesus said, the Bride of Christ. That's it. No denomination. Once you receive the Holy Spirit you belong to Jesus Christ who bought you with the price of His sacrifice on the Cross. The Catholic Church is in darkness and there is no light in it. If you have the Holy Spirit in you, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 4:4-6 -
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 20 For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

The catholic church sadly is in upmost darkness .
Correct on that you are my friend .
SO THEN WHY are so many in love with its interfaith finding common ground anti christ lie .
You would stagger in shock , and weep and weep and weep , as i have
IF you even knew the amount of the protestant realm that is NOW IN JUST AS MUCH DARKNESS and sure seems to love it .
This people cannot discern squat anymore . but the sheep can and thus those who are seasoned
ARE GONNA EXPOSE it all for what it is , For they desire ONLY GOOD for this people and much of this people
IS IN DARKNESS and has no idea THEY ARE .

Did you stop reading there in verse 1? Do you not make any effort to see the context of scripture?

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

The Word who was made flesh who John the Baptist witnessed about was Jesus Christ. Jesus is both God and man.

Most dont give a rip one about the truth anymore my friend .
But dont let that stop you from doing all to expose the lies and to correct this people .
But mark my next words
YOU will see as i have over these many years that i too have corrected
That the more you loved and tried to help them , THE LESS you gonna be loved my friend .
This generation has no idea what its been sold .
AND WHY either .
TO UNIFY the religoins , including the jews
JESUS CANNOT BE SEEN for WHO HE WAS .
THEY removed things . In order to merge the religoins
You cannot have one claiming IT BE THE ONLY WAY , LET ALONE that IT BE THE WORD BECOME FLESH .
THE DIETY OF JESUS HAD TO BE REMOVED
so at best another jesus could be presented . THEY actually did this in the false religoins too .
THEY REMOVED CORE DOCTRINES , because fundamental core doctrines
KEEP THEM DIVIDED . they WONT UNITE if they keep saying OUR WAY is THE ONLY WAY .
SO they removed key core elemental doctrines over time . AND THEY DID IT WITHIN CHRISTENDOM and THE FALSE RELIGOINS
they also found and preached what all had in common . A WORDLY VERSION of love
OF DOING GOOD WORKS and feeding the poor .
ITS WHY FOR YEARS we heard sermons on BRIDGE BUILDING , TEARING DOWN WALLS , aka removing doctrines that divide
Preaching what unites . CAUSE ALL RELIGOINS believe in a form of DOING GOOD , loving their neighbor .
WE GOT DUPED my friend . BIG TIME too . The churhes have no idea where this led them either .
AND TO WHO it led them . CAUSE IT WASNT GOD it led them too , IT LED THEM TO REBELLION AGAINST HIM
but they believe they follow HIM and HIS LOVE . oh my goodness its a serious delusoin my friend .

I already know that. I have done this for many years, too.

I agree.

Welcome to the "cult of Mary"....... = The Catholic Church

The difference between the one God fomula for the Trinity and three God formula for the Trinity.
Over a hundred scriptures prove the one God Formula wrong.
And I am a formally educated Theologian.


One God in the Old Testament for sure and then He had a Son.
The One God formula is a Roman Catholic invention.

Our Father God, may manifest Himself in any form, # of forms at once, in any # of places at once as He desires, Christ, at His Crucifixion spoke to Father God....example of multi.

YES....Christ is Father God....clearly depicted in scriptures. Just, maybe, a modified form at times. Example Christ does not know the day and hour of His, Christs' 2nd advent. Our Father God only does know.

Mary said by the Spirit that she would be called "blessed".

Mary did not say people should call her "tested" (or put her to the test!)

 

[Dan Clarkston]

What does it mean to pray to Mary?

It means one is engaging in idolatry and ignores what Jesus said about praying only to the Father in His Name.

Catholics: What does it mean to pray to Mary?​

It means you don't understand that she is asleep (dead) awaiting the resurrection. It also means you put a variety of practices in place in the vain hope of getting her ear.

It also shows you don't trust Jesus, though He died for you. You believe you need His mother to put in a good word for you, thinking Jesus needs her influence to convince Him of His love for you. Did you know that placing someone in the place of Christ, is Antichrist?

I suspected the possibility of turning up as a woman was on the cards.

The way one of my Catholic friends explained it, you're not good enough or holy enough to talk to God directly. You need to know somebody with connections. Chain of command, just like the government, just like the Navy, just like any large corporation. You don't just call up the President on the phone, or walk into the Admiral's office, or get on the CEO's calendar.

Now, Jesus is a good Jewish boy; I'm sure He'll listen to his mother.

Of course, you'll probably have to get past her secretary first.

 

[Brakelite]

Yes. And then one wonders if the secretary is taking a little too much of the responsibility, presuming to be infallible and all. But the whole argument is moot anyway, for as quiet said, Mary is dead awaiting the resurrection as any other who was faithful to their calling and resting in their grave. She ain't listening.

Where does it say in the Bible that Mary is dead?

 

[Behold]

Where does it say in the Bible that Mary is dead?

Here is a better question.

NO BIBLE ever created that is accepted by valid scholarship, or Koine Greek Text that is "accepted", ((and that is not the Apocrypha))

NOT ONE says anything about Mary flying to heaven in her dead body........and that is because this is CATHOLIC NONSENSE< that is created by the "cult of mary""" and it was sold to Catholics as Truth, and they believe it
.-
The Assumption of Mary, the belief that Mary was taken up into heaven body and soul, is celebrated on August 15th by Catholics.
The >>>Catholic CHURCH Teaches<<<<s that Mary's dead body was not subject to decay and was instead taken up to heaven. .

This "teaching" is not found in a bible or in a Greek Text.

Where does it say in the Bible that Mary is dead?

Where does the Bible say Napoleon is dead or that KFC sucks?

 

[Spiritual Israelite]

Where does the Bible say Napoleon is dead or that KFC sucks?

Nowhere. So, obviously, that means Napoleon is still alive and KFC is awesome.

Hebrews 9:27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,

Clearly, what this verse really means is that people other than Mary and Napoleon are destined to die once. That just wasn't specified because that just kind of goes without saying. The verse also clearly implies that KFC does not suck because it doesn't say that it does.

Well I'm glad you hit the nail on the head!
