samplegirl:We Catholics do not narrow it only to Mary. We also honor and pray to saints and we also ask our priest and any man of God we respect to pray for us. Its Just that Mary's role in our salvation is so worthy that of more honor and respect hence different levels of respect are awarded. That's all. 5 Likes |

Chibueze291994: Prayer is a very important aspect of worship. So when you ask Mary to 'Pray for us sinners' what does it mean? Jesus, said we should pray to God through him. Are you doing that then? 1 Like |

kelvin4jesu:Brother i don't think a simple question calls for abuse. If u can answer the question if not leave it for those who can. We know the Bible clearly says 'Jesus is seated at the right hand of the father interceeding for us' who else is mentioned? |

Ichiato: CHRIST NEVER TOLD US TO PRAY TO HIM!!! Christ told us to pray to his father in heaven! Not to him or to anyone else. He specifically then told us to ask for anything we want in his name. Ask in his name! WHATEVER WE ASK FOR! So if I needed intercession or mediation on my behalf with his father who should I ask? HIM! Not Mary, not a Saint, not the Priest and not the Pope or the Pastor or the G.O or the ''Man of God''. No the bible did not tell me how to tie my shoes or whether it is good to wear an extra jacket in winter. It doesn't tell us these. But when it comes to true worship and prayer and fasting and giving alms and who we should pray to and through, these are fully stated in the bible. Note generically but specifically. |

OLAADEGBU:my brother. Read this and u will understand that mary had only jesus as her biological son. www.catholic.com/tracts/brethren-of-the-lord. A summary of what is there are as follows: 1. The meaning of brother in the bible can also be an extended relative e.g gen 13:8 where brother was used to describe the relationship between abraham and lot who are uncle and nephew. Also 1 cor. 15:6 doesn't mean that mary gave birth to 500 children even tho they are all called brethren of christ. 2. These brothers were never once called children of mary the mother of jesus. 3. There are other women in the bible called mary. James nd joseph who are called jesus' "brothers" (mark 6:3) are indeed children of Mary but not the blessed Mary who bore Jesus. This mary was among those who witnessed the crucifixion from afar (matt 27:56) while the blessed Mary stood by the cross(john 19:25). So u see, christ had no biological brothers. 1 Like |

@Nnatom, I would have been a very happy catholic if I know a third of what you know and did show here. Trying though. I stopped arguing with them when I could prove that the bible directed that we confess our sins to one another and confessions by Catholics are justified. Happy to be a catholic. nnatom: 1 Like |

nnatom: You just made me laugh. In your great understanding of English, the words Intercede and Mediate differ in terms of contention ascribed to the latter. Where in the bible have u read of Jesus, or any of the Christians of old, asking Mary to intercede before God? We don't need it. Prayer is talking to God. And you claim God is your father, whom, ironically, u cannot talk to. So what is the role of Jesus in the equation. Mary intercedes, 'brings ur case to God, or comes between you and God', so what does Jesus do? |
