For what does Mary need titles for anyway.
If people wanted to distinguish her form other Mary’s found in Scripture, all they’d have to do is say, *Mary, Jesus’ mother* and I’m pretty sure anyone reading the Bible would have a pretty good idea of who was being talked about.
They are Michelangelo's ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, The Creation of Adam, and Da Vinci's Last Supper. Of course they are intended to depict God.
So are they idols to you? You were capable of judging idols earlier on this thread, so let's check your judgement. Are these idols in your judgement?
Really? You have trouble with finding things like “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth,...” in the Gospel?
“Looks like the “image made like to corruptible man” to me.”
Really?
Oh yeah, you think celebrating Christmas is PAGAN too, right?
Romans 1:22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Time to stop dodging.
Are these idols in your judgement, the same judgement you used earlier.
Are you claiming that PRAYER always equals WORSHIP?
In Luke Chapter 9 Verse 28 Jesus himself prays to Moses and Elijah (saints) for them to join him and they do on the mountaintop.
The verse says no such thing. All it says as that HE went up to pray. It says NOTHING about who He was praying TO.
Luke 9:28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray.
Do you seriously expect believers to believe that Jesus the Creator, was praying to Moses and Elijah the created?
Talk about heresy.
Are you claiming that PRAYER always equals WORSHIP?
Is there any wonder there are priests diddling little boys and other “religious leaders” getting into problems with lust etc?
Romans 1:23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
When God “gives them up to uncleanness” it may be wise to investigate why.
Really. You don’t seem to know what the gospel is. It’s not there in your previous posts. It’s missing from your creeds. And your doctrines. Everything else is there, except WHAT SAVES. The gospel of your salvation. Funny that the ONE thing necessary is not there..
Aren’t you forgetting what they believe saves them? They don’t even necessarily need to know Jesus.
“we achieve the salvation God desires for us through perseverance in both faith and works.” [http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html#salvation-I] “But these verses, and many others, teach us that our performance of good works is necessary for our salvation.” [http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html#salvation-I] “these verses also teach us that we all will be judged by God according to our deeds. There is no distinction between the "saved" and the "unsaved." [http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html#salvation-I] “Jesus' teaching on the separation of the sheep from the goats is based on the works that were done during their lives, not just on their acceptance of Christ as Savior. In fact, this teaching even demonstrates that those who are ultimately saved do not necessarily have to know Christ.” [http://www.scripturecatholic.com/salvation.html#salvation-I]
Ah. Resorting to posting the cereal box? It’s not there, either. Although it would stand a better chance of being there than in a Catholic Church creed or doctrine.
Waiting, waiting for a response.....

You’re still dodging the question, just adding a deflection now.
Why?
Are these idols in your judgement, the same judgement you used earlier?
