Is Prayer/Veneration/Worship to Mary Biblical?

The reason for this article is to determine if the worship/veneration given to Mary by the catholic church is justified from a Biblical perspective. This will be evaluated using the Biblical standard and not man’s standard.

It’s a cry for more; I think...

[Elsie]

Yep, use Satan to support your bashing and hatred.

We Catholics believe EVERY word that Jesus has said!

Could you/others be jealous because he seems to know a whole lot more about the Bible than y’all? I enjoy his posts because they are the truth and I have learned a lot from them.

Speaking only for myself, no ma'am.

>>Correct me if I am wrong...but isn't this an attempt to bring truth to Catholics.<<

It is but some here will have none of it.

[Elsie]

Some people are just obsessed.

Yup; it sure seems that way...

[Elsie]

Recall that there were Japanese soldiers on Pacific islands that didn’t surrender for decades after the war ended.

Even when told the Truth...

>>How long will it be before the Vatican looks like the above?<<

To my way of thinking not all that long but at least 7 years. Then the angel declares "'Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!'

Who really wants to read vulgar or silly comments when they want to please the Holy Spirit ?

Prayer to Our Lady of Czestochowa

O Mother of God, Immaculate Mary, to thee do I dedicate my body and soul, all my prayers and deeds, my joys and sufferings, all that I am an all that I have. With a joyful heart I surrender myself to thy love. To thee will I devote my services of my own free will for the salvation of mankind, and for the help of the Holy Church whose Mother thou art.
From now on my only desire is to do all things with thee, through thee, and for thee. I know I can accomplish nothing by my own strength, whereas thou can do everything that is the will of thy Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Thou are always victorious. Grant, therefore, O Helper of the Faithful, that my family, my parish, and my country might become in truth the Kingdom where thou reignest in the glorious presence God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

Amen.

>>it is out job to save them<<

Actually it's not. That would be God's job. Our job is to proclaim the gospel to them.

(hopefully he won’t be able to hear)

That's the tightwad's excuse now!

Says he will NOT pay the money for a small audio amplifier that costs as much as 4 laptops or 6 32" tv sets!

I appreciate every one of them. Thanks.

[Elsie]

I enjoy his posts because they are the truth and I have learned a lot from them.

Remember folks; only 9 days left!

He's registered at ALL the fine stores...

[Elsie]

Your words are there for all to see

[CynicalBear]

>>I wonder; is that one at a time; or the whole days worth of sales in a big box?<<

LOL The statement is made with each item for sale so your guess is as good as mine.

[Elsie]

Some one said everyone in the world should be Catholic.

Oh?

I've read that all will be MUSLIM!

[Elsie]

Is that supposed to be an insult?

Why do we Protestants have to explain EVERYTHING to Catholics?

[Elsie]

It is not for facile dilettante quote-miners such as yourself and others.I guess you DID write your own homepage!

[Elsie]

It is a bit smart-alecky (which follows my personality), but also I wanted to convey the idea that I am “dumb” in terms of having so much to learn, from so many who know so much (I can’t BEGIN to list those FReepers who have educated me and those who have schooled me).

[Elsie]

You’re no expert either.

It only took a little lad to announce that the emperor was naked.

[DuncanWaring]

Yet you refuse to say you follow that rule yourself.

There’s another word from scripture that describes you well - I’ll give you a hint - it starts with “Pharise” and ends with “e”.
