again, history apparently stopped for today’s protestants after the ressurection, and only began again after the luther’s disasterous deformation....
a thousand plus years of church history and those closest to the apostles, spread the teaching of christ and that included the teaching about Mary....until some middle ages heretical monk sent the ONE HOLY CATH0LIC AND APOSTOLIC CHURCH splintering into thousands of competing and fighting churches all claiming THEIR version of personal interpretation trumps the next guys chruch down the street....
I’m not seeing scripture that supports asking Mary to do anything.
This is taken from extra-biblical writings that were not deemed in sink with the message included in the bible, thus it could be interpreted as NOT being spiritually guided into the compilation of books that made up the bible.
The catholic church worships God in such beautiful ways, but some of the catholic churches theology kinda troubles me.
Also, the church needs to do a better job dispelling superstitions within the church, such as planting a statue of Joseph on the grounds of a home to help it sell.
Seeing Mary on a piece of toast and then catholics flock to the site to just be in the presence of the toast.
I’m really not making fun, it just disturbs me to see that kinda stuff.
And BIBLICAL history must have stopped after the resurrection for Roman Catholics trusting in Mary, "Redemptrix"...as NO REFERENCE AT ALL to her is given in the rest of the New Testament (even in St. Peter's epistles!)....
One would think if Marian veneration were such an essential to Christianity, than Saints Paul, Peter, John, Jude, Dr. Luke (in Acts) would have ALL KINDS of references to her, in order to instruct the infant Church about someone of such high importance to them. But, in spite of instructing them about all kinds of things....NOTHING about Mary.
I wonder why?
