I keep searching for that Bible verses which say, “Verily verily I say unto you, he that asks his brother to pray for him is going into the lake of fire. He that asks his brother in heaven to pray for him is going into the lake of fire. And he who asks my mother to pray for him is going in twice! Thou shalt not address my mother, living on earth or in heaven. She is nothing but an unlettered dumb little vessel who I rebuked constantly.”
Can you tell me where it is?
don’t overburden her - she’s still busy looking for just one of “countless” examples of Christians believing preaching the Gospel belittles others
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me." -- Exodus 7:4-5" Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
I realize the RCC does not hold the Scriptures in much esteem so perhaps it's easy for that institution to ignore God's instructions. When God through Moses gave the people His commandments there was a lot of thunder and lightning (And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. - Ex. 7:20) so maybe Rome needs some special effects to really understand what's expected of them. Because they're clearly not following God's word.
