Mother, yes.
Imbued with greater rank fitting a deity, no.
Born without sin, no.
I understand the shock effect you were looking for, and you are 100% right, but please don’t do that again.
lol
Mary is not one of the Trinity
CVS Pharmacy was closed but my sister was able to squeeze a couple of doses out of them to get her through the day.... so I have no idea what the point of that is
Sentinel: I won’t.
Narses: Sentinel sure didn’t appreciate it. Why would Mary?
“He gave her permission to intercede”
He did?
Does your mother still intercede for you?
no ? But as Mother of god,
shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
she is superior to all three gods.,
You are almost right Two out of three is pretty good.
Jesus — being God — knew from the beginning (read the prologue to the Gospel of John) who his mother would be. She was given the gift of sinlessness in advance of her birth by God. Remember — there is no timeline as we know it with God.
Of course Mary is superior, that is why she has more power than them. :p
She delivers your prayers to deaf and blind Jesus. If Jesus was God, then he wouldn’t need this unbiblical “intercession”.
Did I say that Mary was one of the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
Amen !shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach
Do you pray for YOUR mother?
That’s intercession!
Did you read the article?
It talks about how very important Christ is and how secondary Mary is?
In no way does scripture indicate her sinless. If anything she felt grace precisely because she was a sinner not worthy of the honor. If she were sinless, then of course she would be chosen.
The “[adjective] among [plural noun]” formulation is a type of superlative. “Fat among pinko movie directors” would pretty much mean Michael Moore, the fattest of pinko movie directors.
But, other than that, I could see saying something like that to the saints I pester.
Here’s what makes it (and us) weirder: We pray to God. We pray to the saints. AND we ask God to grant such and such “by the intercession of” so-and-so.
Not only does this show up in our formal prayers, but in personal prayers. For example, I might ask Dominic to intercede for me to make me a better propositor of the Faith, and then ask God to hear my prayers and those of Dominic.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2Co 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee...
I'll pray for you, but not to you.Good, thank you.
Prayer is a form of worship to be reserved for God.But you are praying for me, right? How is that different from a Saint praying to God for me?
