That's just NOT in the Bible. Book, chapter, and verse, please.

Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:" Sounds to me like God doesn't like sharing, not even one little bit.

It's nice to see you turning your life over to Christ as well.

Salvation is coming in droves here today!

Re: Did You Know?

Catholics don't, repeat DO NOT worship Mary.

Directly from the catechism-

971 "All generations will call me blessed": "The Church's devotion to the Blessed Virgin is intrinsic to Christian worship."513 The Church rightly honors "the Blessed Virgin with special devotion. From the most ancient times the Blessed Virgin has been honored with the title of 'Mother of God,' to whose protection the faithful fly in all their dangers and needs. . . . This very special devotion . . . differs essentially from the adoration which is given to the incarnate Word and equally to the Father and the Holy Spirit, and greatly fosters this adoration."514 The liturgical feasts dedicated to the Mother of God and Marian prayer, such as the rosary, an "epitome of the whole Gospel," express this devotion to the Virgin Mary.515

970 "Mary's function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed Virgin's salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws all its power from it."511 "No creature could ever be counted along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source."512

Do you believe that Mary mediates between God and men? If not, what's the point of praying to her? If so, read 1 Timothy 2:5 and repent of your blasphemy.

Did you know:
Praying to Mary achieves nothing?
Roman Catholics are not Christians?

Re: Did You Know?

We all have seen a change in you Jo Freddie. You belief in the Lord is slowly building in you. Why else would you be hanging around here.

Because every once in a while I managed to get through to someone and they come to understand the true nature of God and how he worked his creation, and I mean GOD, not your imaginary friend, God - The Flying Spaghetti Monster, He who created the universe and all it contains 5,000 years ago. He who inspired the Great prophets to bring us the truth.

You think I should believe in someone who:

• Was born of a virgin
• The only begotten son of God
• Was of royal descent
• Whose coming was announced by an angel
• Whose birth was heralded by a star
• Whose parents had to take him into hiding
• Who disappeared between the ages of 12 & 30
• Was baptised in a river at the age of 30 the baptiser was later beheaded
• Who was taken from the desert up a mountain to be tempted and resisted the temptation
• Walked on water, cast out demons, healed the sick, restored sight to the blind and raised the dead
• Made his key sermon on the Mount
• Was put to death (all be it temporarily) accompanied by two thieves
• Was buried in a tomb
• Descended into Hell and was then resurrected
• Who is due to reign for 1,000 years

Is that who I should give my life to Lisa?

Re: Did You Know?

Just as well I was sat down.

To become a christian I would have to believe that Jesus existed and was the son of god, not just a reworking of the myth of Horus.

Re: Did You Know?

You are usually posting lies, and lies have motives behind them. But for once you said something true. It was a good thing I was sitting down.

I post things you may not agree with but I tell no lies.

Where did the cat-o-lick go?

Re: Did You Know?

Are you feeling OK Bobby? I make a post, you go into shock because it says almost the same as yours, and you don't accuse my post of being motivated by homosexual tendencies, I think you need to go for a lie down (no that is not an offer, you are not my type)

I corrected your posting and wonder why you are living in denial about Catheistism.

Re: Did You Know?

Now even a "Pasta munching Pirate" like me can see that does not say the cat-o-licks do not worship Mary, just that she is not AS important as The Farther, The Son and into the hole he goes.
