Okay. Enjoy your spree of idolatry.

Yes! Thanks for that. Purple vestment is also used during Lent to celebrate the passion of Christ- the crucifixion of the King of kings- and for the preparation of Easter.

And who the hell says Mary never gave birth to other kids or rather had sex with her husband after Jesus's birth. Who is spreading that false teaching

Splinz:


Is that how low you can go? Good to know.

Izonpikin:
oh you're sure with no scriptural proof...shey you see yourself...so you assume Mary prayed for the apostles after Jesus's ascension to the heavens...my brother there was never a verse that testifies to that...Mary was barely even mentioned as regards activities of the first century Christians let alone the apostles who served as a governing body praying to her or taking her highly important like you idol worshippers are doing today...

LogicStatement:

Catholics do not pray to dead people but ask for the intercession of saints. There is nothing wrong to ask for the intercession of the saints. Abraham interceded for Sodom (Gen 18: 16-33). We see in the Old Testament, various figures are asked to intercede for those in spiritual and temporal need: Abraham, Moses, Job, Jeremiah. It seems to have been thought especially appropriate to those men of prayer, the prophets (Gen 18:24, Jb 42:8, Jr 42:2, 2Mc 12:38-45). After the last super, Jesus interceded for his followers (Jn 17).
It should be noted that the church does not regard a saint who is dead to the flesh (physical dead) as been dead rather, he is asleep but lives in the presence of God. When a righteous died, he rises and becomes like the angels in heaven. Jesus tells us in Mk 12: 24-26 that God is God not of the dead but of the living. In Ex 3:1-6 When God appeared in the burning bush to Moses, he introduced Himself as God of Abraham, God of Issac and God of Jacob. These people were known to be dead (physical death) when he appeared to Moses, yet God still associate Himself with them meaning that, these saints are living. Therefore, when Catholics call on saints for intercession is because these saints are living and in the presence of God. Just like we meet our priests or pastors for their intercession because of our believe that they are saints who live holy lives (only God knows the heart of man), same way Catholics ask for the intercession of saints who live in the presence of God (for these ones you are very sure they are clean and free from sin because they are in heaven already. Nothing unclean will enter heaven Rev 21:27)

Acts 1:14 All these with one accord devoted THEMSELVES to PRAYER, together with the WOMEN and MARY the MOTHER of JESUS, and with his brethren.

It is common practice in the early Church for Christians to pray for each other... (1 Tim 2:1-4) ..

Paul usually asked Christians to pray for him (col 4:3, 1 thess 5:25, 2 thess 3:1)

Mary would have prayed for the apostles too.. If Paul could ask for prayers from The Thessalonians, then other apostles would have asked for prayers from their brethren including MARY, who was with them...

IT MIGHT INTEREST YOU TO KNOW THAT THE FOUNDERS OF PROTESTANISM BELIEVED IN MARY'S PERPETUAL VIRGINITY...

Izonpikin:
I leave the idol worshippers with Mark 6::3

Izonpikin:

Catholics have done everything possible just to worship Mary even against her own will...claiming Mary never gave birth to other children is not only false but outstandingly heretic. ...

Izonpikin:

It's really crazy...

Splinz:


My brother, don't bother leaving them with any Scripture. They are blinded intoto.



What do you expect them to do? They have made Mary their own god, worshiping all manner of demons in the name of saints.



Yeah. But for someone like me, I'm not surprised. Babylon is at the very center of prophecy.

Izonpikin:
I leave the idol worshippers with Mark 6::3

New Living Translation
Then they scoffed, "He's just a carpenter, the son of Mary and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon. And his sisters live right here among us." They were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.

English Standard Version
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him.

Splinz:


Hehehe... you go wait tire... . I tell you, they'll do everything, including even denying God, just to uphold their rank idolatry and paganism!

Izonpikin:
Jesus had half brothers and sisters as clearly shown from the scriptures and here we have our Catholic brothers saying otherwise...sometimes I wonder what's wrong with them. ...mtsheew

Izonpikin:
she would have been involved in general prayers just like every other christian...but I can bet my life no disciple met Mary in particular to intercede for them... and no apostle extolled Mary to a lofty position of veneration like the catholics are doing today..

but the Bible says what you bind on earth is bind in heaven, the sins you forgive on earth is forgiven in heaven?. Please explain further

LaClicKLaBenDin:


You dey mind them? Idolaters!

The problem is that they do not even know what Catholicism is about, and I don't even want to go into that, given the kind of shallowness they have displayed already.

Roman Catholic isn't a church, but a cult! Before quotes me, please show us a copy of the detailed events, proclamation and whatnots, during knighthood imitation.

If you are looking for the seat of Antichrist, look no further, it is staring you in the face in the form of a church! And please before anyone quotes me, tell me what you know about the black Pope, tell me what you know about the Jesuits, their vows and covenants, tell me what you know about the connection between Catholicism and islam, but if you can't tell me all these, then hold your peace.

Though your question has been answered, let me buttress.

Mary, the apostles and all the saints are more alive than you and I.

We are still battling with sin & death, but they have conquered sin & death and are now LIKE GOD (1John3:2).

Once you understand this, you understand that St. Peter is in a better position to pray for you than apostle Suleiman.

easymancfc:


If Paul could ask for prayers from Christians then the apostles could ask for prayers from Mary who is a Christian too...

We take Mary as our Mother... Just as John and any other disciples who loved Christ would have because Jesus told John to take Mary as his Mother and for Mary to take John as her Son.. (John 19:27) and the commandment says Exodus 20:12 “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

So by Jesus making Mary John's Mother He and the disciples would have honored her...

AND FINALLY EVERY REASONABLE CHILD COUNTS ON HIS MOTHER'S PRAYERS.. EVEN IF WE DON'T ASK FOR IT DIRECTLY, THEY DON'T HESITATE TO DO IT..

A MOTHER ALWAYS PRAYS FOR HER CHILDREN AND WISE CHILDREN ASK FOR THEIR MOTHER'S INTERCESSION
