Praying to Mary

[for_his_glory]

Catholics do not worship a statue (nor do they worship Mary).

Proof is in the pictures and even my own mother when she was a Catholic was taught to bow down, worship and pray to Mary. I could show more pics of what Catholics bow down to and worship, but you would not believe these pics either.

 

[for_his_glory]

How do you know they are worshipping Mary?
You don't know what is in their hearts.

If that is not Mary they are kneeling to then what statue is that?
How do I know, my mother and her side of the family were all Catholics. Plus an ex-boyfriend that I went to Mass with once in a while all bowed before her upon entering the Chapel.

Scripture alone in not a biblical practice.

Does this mean you reject what has been written in the scriptures? Maybe this is why you never post any supporting scriptures to back up what you say about Mary.

2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

Today Catholics celebrate the birthday of our Blessed Mother, Mary, the mother of God.

May I ask why this date of September 8th?

 

[Mungo]

Of course Mary, the Virgin Mary, is the mother of the Man Jesus Christ.

Mary gave birth to flesh and blood.

Mary is not the mother of God.

God is Spirit.




JLB

So do you deny that Jesus is God?

 

[Mungo]

Post #20 you said: Mary is not dead but alive in heaven. Which is it as it can't be both?

Mary was assumed into heaven.
Jesus ascended into heaven under his own power.
Mary was assumed by the power of God.

Of course I do not reject what is written in scripture.
I may well reject your interpretation of it though.

Regarding the above scripture.; non of the above say that scripture alone is all that is necessary.

 

[Mungo]

What day was she born?

I don't know. But we celebrate her birthday on the 8th September.

 

[Mungo]

May I ask why this date of September 8th?

I don't know. I'll try and find out.

 

[Mungo]

Why do you capitalize Mother.

Do you believe Mary is your God?



JLB

No she is not God but Blessed Mother is a title. It's normal to capitalise titles.

I deny that Jesus wasn’t a human being with flesh. That’s what Mary gave birth too.

His Spirit, the Spirit of Christ is God.

GOD is Spirit.


God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

Just kinda made up a date and decided that was her birthday?

People make up all kinds of things, but that doesn’t mean it’s true or biblical.

We as children of God, go by what Jesus taught us.


Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 9


Those who go beyond the teaching of Christ and teach heresy, won’t inherit the kingdom of God.

8th September is 9 months after the feast of the Conception of Mary on 8th December (celebrated under that title of the Immaculate Conception).

Both celebration go back over 1,000 years.

I believe, as do most Christians, that Jesus was fully human and fully divine, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.
He is both God and man.

Did Christ teach we should drive cars, ride in aeroplanes, post of internet forums, and a thousand other things we do that are not in the Bible?

How do I know, my mother and her side of the family were all Catholics. Plus an ex-boyfriend that I went to Mass with once in a while all bowed before her upon entering the Chapel.

Bowing is not worship.
Bowing to another person is giving honour, respect to them.

Brother His teachings from the Bible: Biblical Doctrine.

Did Jesus forbid abortion’s?

Bowing down to statues is giving honor and respect to an idol that should only be given to God.
