**Would your last post cancel out your earlier errors?**

What errors? You found no errors.

The miracle at Cana shows that the Lord can answer prayer for the small things (like wine at a wedding, or putting dew on a fleece and the next night keeping the dew off), or the big things (like sparing Israel from God’s wrath, at the request of Moses, or raising Lazarus from the dead).

Speaking of Lazarus; by your choice of declaration, Martha interceded with Jesus to raise him up:

“Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.” Jn 11:21,22

So I’m guessing that you also pray to Martha.

**So, if I said: “Yesterday, I interceded with a police officer to not give someone a ticket” you’re claiming that means I am equal to the police officer.**

So, If you die tomorrow, and a police officer is planning on giving me a traffic ticket, are you saying that you can STILL help me out?

**Mary interceded WITH Jesus because that’s how English grammar works.**

And that’s one of the word power means to help build Mary up in importance. Did the centurion intercede with Jesus to heal his servant? Did Abraham intercede with God to spare Lot? Did Moses intercede with God to spare Israel from being consumed by God’s wrath?

To me, it is all under this category: Let your requests be made known unto God.

**The point - which you missed - is that that quote is from the Orthodox Study Bible. The Eastern Orthodox believe in the intercession of Mary.**

I guess I should have known that there are others that are just as confused as the RCs. But you guys are basically joined at the hip anyway, right?

If you, and whoever else (on this earth that you also ask to pray) want to call on someone other than God, so be it. Knock yourself out. It’s not scriptural, but that hasn’t stopped you in other ‘traditions’.

“What errors? You found no errors.”

That’s another error of yours right there. Go back and check the posts.

“The miracle at Cana shows that the Lord can answer prayer for the small things (like wine at a wedding,”

Ooooohhhh, you mean He responded to Mary’s intercession? You’re the one who just called her plea to Jesus about the wine a “prayer”.

Case closed. With that stunning comment of yours you render the rest of your post meaningless.
