3 답변Its pretty funny how insecure you are. Making all those posts, trying to convince yourself that there might be an invisible guy in the sky that will welcome you to heaven where you will grow wings and become an angel. Sorry but all your arguments are void when you believe in talking snakes.

7 답변Catholics don't pray [b]to[/b] Mary and the other saints but rather [b]through[/b] them. Don't need to watch the video to guess that this video was probably made by a baptist. I have some baptist relatives and they talk about how Catholics are the devil because they pray to Mary but they really just fail to understand what the Catholics are really about

4 답변I think that the idea of God being "wrathful," mirrors some of the ideals of the Roman Empire. The Catholics interpretation of the bible comes from a point in society in which there was a societal need for the control of the lower class of people. The lower class prays to Mary, and the other Saints in order to create a kind of hierarchy in which their prayers are "heard" and then relayed to Jesus and God. Those practices eventually led to the Reformation, and then the formation of the Protenstant church and even further to the different denominations we have today. Such as the Baptists. It may not be the most literal interpretation of the bible, but it doesn't go to say that Catholics love God or Jesus any less than other denominations. I have Catholic friends who adore God, and have given themselves to him completely.

2 답변작성자: pokepatrick1 5/30/2015 11:20:22 PMI guess you could say I do pray to Mary sometimes. But I wouldn't do it if God wasn't so scary. Just take a look at the old testament. He's scary in the old testament. He smites people and stuff.

76 답변I'm a Catholic, and there is an easy explanation for this. We don't pray TO Mary and the Saints directly, however, we ask are asking Mary & the Saint to pray for us! Hope this helped.

61 답변Catholics don't actually pray to Mary or the saints. That is a ridiculously huge misconception. Instead, we pray for their intercession. It's like asking them to put a good word in for you or like asking a friend to pray for you. "Praying" to Mary is like saying "Hey Mary, you should help me out and ask your son to answer my petitions." That's it. We don't worship Mary and we don't worship the Saints. We just believe in a total community of believers. That means past, present, and future. Plus, if you get Mary to ask Jesus on your behalf, do you think Jesus is gonna say no to his mom? :p

16 답변This was always something that I had a problem with when I was still religious. Why pray through someone/thing when you can skip the middle man and go straight to the Big guy?

21 답변You can't pray to the statue of the virgin mary and get anything from it. She was just a person and the statue is just an idol.

1 답변Acts 17:29 29 “Therefore, since we are the children of God, we should not think that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and design of humans. As christians we should only pray thru jesus not a statue doesnt matter if its mary.
