On the contrary, it is always to put you in checked when you sunk too low.

Ubenedictus:
rather, It is to show u have no point and clueless on how to respond.

Smeago007:



Go and shake what the ark of covenant represents
That's the most holy thing on earth giving to the children of Isreal by God. They are still with it till today

Stop making useless argument. They didn't bow to it. Like you do to Mary
They didn't worship it like you do to Mary
Be realistic and flee from pegan worship

Smeago007:



Prostration or not

The fact states your shouldn't bow down to them in worship nor whatever

It differs with Joshua encounter

Prostration has never been the case
Never was recorded a sin
Bowing and worshipping is the case

Themandator:




Please I must have missed that part where they were called his relatives...... Can you point it out.

Do you not understand what bowing in worship means. Why going round in circles. I already said this before.

Take note of the bolded. Even if you make the image in the likeness o Jesus Christ or God the father, it is an idol.
8 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image; any likeness of anything that is in heaven above , or that is in the earth beneath , or that is in the water under the earth;

Amberon:
Did they bow to their mothers in worship?

Amberon:
Bowing down to a statue whenever you want to pray connotes worship and no denial can change that.

Enjoy your idolatry and delusions.

catholics are practicing divination by praying through dead humans...dead persons who are unconscious...its crazy men

Ubenedictus:
The very same place where the bible says that james and co are son of another mary who is a 'sister' to mary d mother of Jesus.

easy already gave u those passages but i guess you werent paying attention.

Ubenedictus:
Tell that to joshua in the bible, since you now claim to know peoples heart and know when they mean to show respect or honour or adoration.

your wahala is that you seem ignorant of the fact that worship comes from the heart, only d person and God knows if it is worship or not, mere bowing or prostrating doesnt imply worship, it is the intent, and you can't come here and pontificate about other peoples intention and what is in their heart. that is presumptous and insultive.

Izonpikin:
please point out the ignorant apostle who sort for Mary to bow down to her to specifically intercede to God in prayers for them..

Like the apostles were woman wrapper begging for intercessions from a woman..

Splinz:


I keep on harping that these people are either playing dumb or suffering from chronic lack of comprehension skills. I mean, it is so obvious, and there's no sugar-coating it.

Okay. They claimed that they don't worship Mary, but they venerate her and the rest of their so-called saints. Now, lets look up the meaning of the word “venerate” in the dictionary: “regard with great respect; revere,” and one of its synonyms is “worship.” Venerate, revere, reverence, worship, and adore all mean to honor and admire profoundly and respectfully, and this honor have non other than God (Deuteronomy 6:13, Psalm 111:9, Isaiah 42:8 ). In Psalm 111:9 (KJV), it states: “...holy and reverend is His name.”

So then, it means that God alone is worthy of this honor, because He has already said that He wouldn't give His glory to another nor His praise to some dumb, blind, lame and worthless idols!

Sorry, who?

easymancfc:


I'm sorry if you don't know how punctuation marks is used...
Jesus is called "THE SON OF MARY" NOT A SON OF MARY FOR A REASON...

LIKE I SAID THEY ARE CALLED JESUS'S BROTHERS BUT NOT MARY'S CHILDREN... MY STEP BROTHER IS MY BROTHER BUT NOT MY MOTHER'S SON...
besides the Greek word adelphoi can be used for cousins, or uncle-nephew relationship not just blood brothers from the same mother...

IN THE BIBLE MARY IS EITHER REFERED TO AS THE LORD'S MOTHER OR THE MOTHER OF JESUS.. NOT MOTHER OF JAMES OR JOSES OR SIMON

Ubenedictus:
Give me the book that records all that the apostles did and i'll gladly show you.

Next time learn that an argument from silence is a fallacy.

Themandator:




Why would you bow to an image under whatever guide when you are carrying God ......In the old testament, the spirit of God resided in objects that God specifically ask them to construct but in the new testament, we carry the spirit of God which came down on Pentecost so why would God now bow to an image depicting or purporting to be that of Mary, jesus even though we know that the image is that of an actor

easymancfc:


From Galatians.. Paul says James the Lords brother is an apostle, there are only two James in the list of the apostles...
James the son of Zebedee and James the Son of alphaeus or James the lesser, He is the Son of alphaeus not Joseph.. unless you think Mary committed adultery or had another husband

Luke 6: 15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and JAMES THE SON of ALPHAEUS , and Simon who was called the Zealot,

easymancfc:


Is it that you ignored my earlier response or that you're just dull...

I showed you that all those brothers had another mother... which Mathew calls the other Mary

Here's the post again incase you didn't see it

mark 15:47 Mary Mag′dalene and MARY the MOTHER OF JOSES saw where he was laid.
NOT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS

Matthew 27:56 among whom were Mary Mag′dalene, and MARY the MOTHER of JAMES and JOSEPH, and the mother of the sons of Zeb′edee.
NOT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS...

Luke 24: 10 Now it was Mary Mag′dalene and Jo-an′na and MARY THE MOTHER of JAMES and the other women with them who told this to the apostles
NOT MARY THE MOTHER OF JESUS...

James and Joses/Joseph's Mother is another Mary...

What about Jude

Jude 1:1 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James,Not JUDE BROTHER AND SERVANT OF JESUS CHRIST

easymancfc:


I am not as ignorant as you.. I don't believe everything must be written word for word in the Bible for it to be true....

The Bible never talked about Mary and Joseph's sex life yet you assume they had sex numerous times...

Read historical documents you won't, read early church writings you won't yet You are the ones calling people ignorant..

TALK ABOUT POT CALLING KETTLE BLACK

Acts 1:14.....“All these were persevering with one accord in prayer with the women, and with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.”....... Catholic public Domain Bible

So at this point we have to sick external sources other than the bible to prove Mary never slept with her husband..tufiakwa

easymancfc:


your ignorance is indeed showing...

I assume you think whatever is not in the Bible is automatically not true or non existent

the Bible doesn't contain every detail of Mary's life..

the Bible is primarily all about Jesus but still yet.. it doesn't contain all Jesus did and it says so itself in John's gospel

John 20: 30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

John 21:25 But there are also many other things which Jesus did; were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books
that would be written.

1..THE BIBLE WAS NOT WRITTEN PRIMARILY ABOUT MARY'S LIFE..

2. MARY WAS A HISTORICAL FIGURE NOT JUST A BIBLICAL ONE.. SO THERE ARE OTHER TESTIMONIES TO HER LIFE APART FROM THE BIBLE ..

Ubenedictus:
so your bible told you that mary slept with joseph?
