And I’ve already PROVEN …
You are a gaslighter.
You are a master name caller.
You deflect from the topic.
You are the self-imposed Catholic expert.

See if you can civilly answer Two simple questions.

Do YOU bow down before statues of Mary?
Do YOU ASK Mary to intercede for you… (Between you and God)?

Today, the title is formally and routinely used by Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Oriental Orthodox, and many traditional Anglican churches. Together, these bodies represent over a billion Christians globally, directly refuting the absolute claim that Christians do not use the title.

May be in your eyes, only the Protestants, or only members of your little congregation are Christians.
We do not determine doctrine by popular vote.

All those millions are wrong.
Something about ..."wide is the gate..."

Matthew 22 The Parable of the Wedding Banquet teaches the otherwise:
Then he sent some more servants and said, ‘Tell those who have been invited that I have prepared my dinner: My oxen and fattened cattle have been butchered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding banquet.’.......,,

But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. 12 He asked, ‘How did you get in here without wedding clothes, friend?’ The man was speechless.

13 “Then the king told the attendants, ‘Tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
.’

One has to prepare himself to join the wedding feast even though invited.
The right in the feast is not foreever, assured, guaranteed
Don't know what that is but it is not Scriptures.

Luke 13:
[23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

You sit there accusing me of name-calling - while YOU do the very SAME thing.
Your hypocrisy knows NO bounds . . .

I’ve already answered those questions – yet you refuse to acknowledge my answers . . .

The Egyptians bowed and prostrated themselves in WORSHIP before their gods of gold and stone. Catholics don’t do that. There are MANY prayer postures that people take. Some people bow, some kneel, some close their eys, some keep them open, some fold their hands. Some pray quietly – some pray audibly.

But as I have been telling you ad nauseam – bowing in worship to statues and praying TO them is strictly forbidden for Catholics, and we are NOT taught to do so. I’ve asked you to search the Catechism too see where it teaches us to bow in worship or pray TO statues.

So far, you’e failed, as
usual . . .
