geniusbami:Please go and read your bible well. Was this passage referring to the bible as a whole? Don't make assumptions John was referring specifically to what God has revealed to him which he wrote down in the book of revelation. To buttress my point John himself in the last verse of the book of John said this: John 21:25 New International Version (NIV) Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. 3 Likes |

freeradical: She does not need to point us to Him. The revelation of God in Christ Jesus is complete. He has already pointed us to himself via the cross. The intercessory role of Mary is redundant. 4 Likes |

mbulela:Of course she does not need to point Christ to us just as Christ did not need to be baptised by John the baptist. We both know the significance of the baptism of Jesus to christianity as it is today. Now it is universally accepted that baptism is the pre-requisite to xtianity. Alas if Christ had not embarked on that 'redundant' exercise your likes today will argue that there is no need for a christian to be baptised. |

Re: "What Does The Bible Say About The Virgin Mary?" by kelnas(m): 9:20pm On Oct 12, 2014 |
you Catholics can't deceive anybody. You worship Mary and it is very wrong. The Holy Bible condemns all your actions, no wonder some of you say the Bible is not the only word of God. You worship mary by praising her, also observing some kind of rituals bowing to her statue....you burn incense to ur god(Mary) followed with the chanting of some mysterious incantations......Jesus is the only way to God. 1 Like |

Just learn to respect their beliefs even though you don't agree and stop trying to 'convert' them.

ignorant in the poster will not alow him accord her the honour due to her. In your last paragraph u wrote and I quote; "From now on all generations will call me blessed," in all u wrote u didn't call her "blessed" Mary the mother of Jesus. also u have to acknowledge the fact that the Bible u have in your hand is not complete. The penticostals and the Protestants don't have the complete bible. The complete Holy Bible is still with the Catholic Church at the Vatican. so u have to believe whatever the Vatican tells u. 2 Likes |

OLAADEGBU:FACT: Catholics honour the Blessed Virgin Mary, not worship her. The Bible’s account of Mary’s humility and obedience to the message of God as delivered by Angel Gabriel, have made her an exemplar for all ages of Christians. Catholics are just as aware that Mary was a human creature and therefore, not entitled to the honours which are reserved to God alone. In Catholic theology, there are three types of worship: Latria: This is adoration which is given to God alone. Mary is not adored because God forbids it and, the Canon Law of the Catholic Church which is based on Divine Law, forbids it. Hyperdulia: This is reverence, a special type of honour given to Mary the mother of Jesus Christ. Catholics feel that Mary is entitled to a great measure of exaltation because, in choosing her as the mother of Redemption, God Himself exalted her. Dulia: This is a form of reverence, a special type of worship given to the Saints and Angels._ Catholics heap tributes and honour to the Blessed Virgin Mary because they earnestly desire to be followers of God, as most dear children. Why call Mary Blessed? Mary herself professed in the Gospel of Saint Luke 1:48-49 that, “For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me; and Holy is His name”. Mary the mother of Jesus Christ is referred to by name more than twenty times in the Bible_, thus, the honour and recanting her name while saying the Rosary: Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you Blessed are you among women And blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus Holy Mary, Mother of God Pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. |

I went to a catholic secondary school CKC to be precise, and I enjoyed every bit of my time there. I participated in morning mass as is a compulsory norm for all students be you catholic or muslim, so this only got me remembering all the arguments we usually had then which sometimes ended in beef, insults and sometimes exchange of fist, but the thing is that you can never make a perfect distinction on whether catholic pray to mary as a mediator or a mother who intercedes for her suppose erring children because there is always one or two scriptures to be quoted to back what ever anybody believes in. Which will you ask to be clarified on: is it the praying with rosary, praying to mary as we miss understand them or the respect accorded to images assumed to represent christ, mary and angels? You guys will agree with me that it will never end. So as christians no matter what faith we profess is to be steadfast in the things of God, obeying his commandments and loving our neighbours as we love ourselves and not questioning the pattern we go about it if not what happens in CKC when such arguments pops out will happen again o. |
