CAMEROONPRIDE:

there's only one Apostolic church and it is the Catholic church, there is no such thing as apostolic Christianity .you see you people can't even create your own stuffs.

you use]our songs, our prayers, our rituals/ceremonies/ our holydays

solomon111: What is the difference between "crusades" and wars?
And where in the bible did God ask you to fight crusades for him?
If crusades were good,why didn't the apostles fight one?

Kaycee7: LORD, make me an instrument of YOUR peace,
Where there is hatred let me sow love,
Where there is injury let me sow pardon,
Where there is doubt let me sow faith.
It is in giving that we recieve,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
It is in dying that we are born, that we are born to eternal life.
-St. Francis of Asisi
My fellow catholics, cool down. No insults please. Rather do good to those who hurt you and pray for those who persecute you.
I would advise closure of this thread before some people heap more curses on themselves. While we are yet to prove that the Blessed Virgin should be honored, please do not call the Mother of God helpless and powerless. If you can't honor her, please I beg of you "Do not insult her" None of us here would like our mothers insulted talk less of GOD who is Love HIMSELF.
Please do not join the serpent to bite her heel.
My Brothers and Sisters, with me:
We fly to your patronage, Oh Holy Mother of God, despise not our prayers and necessities but deliver us from all evil, Oh Ever Blessed Virgin Mary. Amen

Iyfe Namikaze: virgin marys should deliver you from evil? I think i have every right to call you an insane entity :-/

solomon111: The early christians were not of the catholic church,so i don't see how apostolic christianity is the same as catholic christianity.

Kaycee7: Yes. Please make sure to insult me and my brethren, not Her.

CAMEROONPRIDE: yes they were.
Matthew 16:18

Jesus himself created the Catholic church he made it official with Matthew 16:18 Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

But the truth is the Catholic church comes with the birth of Jesus Christ Jesus was Catholic (actually the first )

Iyfe Namikaze:
listen good, mary is to be honored, but to ask her to deliver you from sin is an insult to God and Christ.

Iyfe Namikaze:
Did He say he will build the catholics? The church which peter founded never prayed to mary to intercede on their behalves.
Christ only mentioned ''church'' and we all are the church he was talking about. Doctrine was man made

CAMEROONPRIDE: yes they were.

Kaycee7: I said "evil" not "sin". Only GOD can deliver us from sin.

okpurukata: I will humbly appeal to all catholics at this point stop responding.

Iyfe Namikaze:
Our Father who art in heaven,: hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done: on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day,our daily bread... Forgive us our trespasses as we 4give those who trespass against us, and DELIVER US FROM EVIL..... It is still God who can only deliver you from evil, not mary, DO NOT INSULT GOD

CAMEROONPRIDE: yes they were.

Ghostface_killa: Actually nothing happens IN JESUS NAME as well......smh

Kaycee7: What is evil?

anitank: You do nothing. We just pray to her to intercede on our behalf

gree-die:


lol... pagan madness? and you know this because?.. der u go, interpreting the bible according to your level of ignorance...

The Gospel of St. John relates two significant accounts which relate to Mary — the wedding feast of Cana and the Crucifixion. Of the first account we read:
“There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the Mother of Jesus was there. And Jesus also was invited, and His disciples, to the marriage. And the wine failing, the Mother of Jesus said to Him, ‘They have no wine.’ And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what is it to Me and to thee? My hour is not yet come.’ His Mother said to the waiters, ‘Whatsoever He shall say to you, do ye’” (John 2:1-5).
Jesus Christ then proceeded to work His first public miracle at His Mother’s request. Everything related in the Gospels is inspired by God, and there is a reason for it. Does not this narrative of the wedding feast manifest the intercessory power of Mary with Jesus Christ, her Divine Son?
In the second account, also take from the Gospel of St. John, we read:
“There stood by the Cross of Jesus His Mother... When Jesus therefore had seen His Mother and the disciple standing whom He loved, He saith to His Mother: ‘Woman, behold thy son...’” (John 19:25-27).
Just as Eve cooperated with Adam in the Fall of mankind, the Blessed Virgin Mary cooperated with Jesus Christ in our redemption. She “stood by the Cross of Jesus.” What anguish, what sorrow did the Mother of Jesus experience at the foot of the Cross as she witnessed the sufferings and death of her Divine Son!
In both accounts, Jesus addressed Mary by the term woman. In Hebrew the word used by Jesus was a term which would be addressed to a queen or a woman of high rank. It was a term of great respect.
But why did Jesus Christ address His Mother by the term woman at these two significant moments in His life — at His first public miracle, and at His Crucifixion on the Cross?
Our Divine Lord wanted to clearly indicate that His Mother was the Woman spoken of in the Book of Genesis:
“I will put enmities between thee (Satan) and the Woman, between thy seed and her seed, and she shall crush thy head.”

catholics do not, as Protestants falsely believe, worship the Blessed Virgin Mary. We honor her who was so intimately connected with Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. Yes, there is only one Mediator with the Father — Jesus Christ. Only the God-Man Jesus Christ could have redeemed mankind. Nevertheless, we pray to Mary that she may intercede for us with her Divine Son. How often we request the assistance of prayers from our fellow men — how much more powerful are the prayers and intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary! In the Old Testament, we read how Moses prayed with arms outstretched and interceded with God to procure the victory of the Israelites over their enemies in a crucial battle. As long as he prayed, they were victorious. When he ceased his prayers, the Israelites began to lose. Because of this, it was necessary for two men to hold up Moses’ arms in prayer until the battle was won. Also, we read in the Old Testament how Josue prayed to God to have the day prolonged in order to win another crucial battle. If Moses and Josue could have such intercession before God, how much more powerful are the prayers of the Blessed Virgin Mary!

CrazyMan:
Mary was just the earthly vessel God use in bringing Jesus into this world.

She's human like you and I...so it would look silly to worship her.

Iyfe Namikaze: Evil is profound immorality. In certain religious contexts
evil has been described as a supernatural force.
Definitions of evil vary, as does the analysis of its root
motives and causes. However elements that are
commonly associated with evil involve unbalanced
behavior involving expediency, selfishness, ignorance, or
neglect.
In cultures with Manichaean and Abrahamic religious
influence, evil is usually perceived as the dualistic
antagonistic opposite of good, in which good should prevail
and evil should be defeated.

frosbel:

So why do you bow down before her statues ?

ocelot2006:

We bow or kneel in front of the altar with the crucifix/cross place as our reference to God almighty and His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ. If any catholic actually bows before the statue of Mary, then is more out of respect. Afterall, she gave birth to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. I also bow to the statue of fallen soldiers as a sign of respect. But it sure as hell doesn't mean I worship them.

Seriously, some of you protestant from jet flying churches who feel they kniw more about the Catholic than us Catholics need to stop spewing TRASH!
