This one is really in bad taste.
Sometimes we can all forget that we must make an accounting for everything we say or do---or put in print .
If this was posted in just poor taste, well, tackiness isn't a sin.
Either Alex's name is in the book of life or it isn't. If my good elect brother Alex did sin by posting that, it was nailed to a cross 2,000 years ago. Our High Priest will intervene.
C'mon. It might be tongue in cheek but Alex's paragraph succiently makes its point. Why can't you pray to George the Plumber instead of Mary? Are there special things Mary does that St. George doesn't do? (Although if memory serves me correctly there's already a saint of plumbing.)
In the final analysis, God shows NO partiality-to anyone. I would say when the scriptures state that, it includes Mary. Mary asking our Lord Jesus to do something at a wedding and granting it has been blown totally out of proportion. Many people asked things of our Lord. Most of the time He granted their request. A few times He didn't. Do you think Mary has more clout than James and John?
**This one is really in bad taste. **
Please stick to discussing the subject of Mary's birth. I purposely made this an open thread, because I detest the misuse of it by some others on the Religion Forum. Just please, keep to the subject!!
Yes, Jesus will hold you to account for your actions concerning his mother. After all, in the Bible, she is called "Blessed" many times.
