Well Mr get it wrong.The Mary in question is not the mother of Jesus and if she were it holds no reason for honour for in many accounts Paul wrote greet the saints and nobody talk of honoring the saints which generally are the Christains.You don't wake up in the morning and say "Hall mummy" though your mum is a saint of God which Paul wrote the church should greet.

My dear Those who worship God will do so in Spirit and in Truth.This is my Teaching in all places.God bless you.

it is wrong to worship anything other than God, Catholicism was an idea that was brought in christendom by a king Called Constantin, and it is not biblical at all.

Oh dear. When the scripture says honour you mum and dad, it is simply saying obey them in the Lord, give them their due respect as stewards of God who have been placed over you.

It did not say revere them for only God deserves our worship, our awe, our veneration.

Mary was Jesus' earthly mother by God's grace and favour. She was just an earthly vessel, a handmaid, a servant of the Lord and was also a sinner like you and I.

She mothered Jesus and his siblings, and not any of us, and so we cant call her mother in a biological or even spiritual sense.

Remember, only God is Omnipresent. When we all pray, just like multitudes of people are doing now, only God can hear our prayers at once. Mary cannot, because she is not...omnipresent, She is not God.

When you pray to God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and God hears your prayer, then those pagan beads belong to the waste bin!

Honor your father and mother doesn't mean you should idolize them or give them a god status or pray through them instead of through Christ.

It doesn't mean you should make a god out of them as Catholics do Mary. It doesn't mean you should reverence or glorify them with reverence and glory only meant for God as Catholics clearly do with Mary.

They clearly accord her reverence that God alone should have.

let me expound the truth to you. I bear record that you have the zeal to love and serve the Lord with all your heart, mind and strength. I saw your personal text which indicates that youre the servant of the truth. Well i love your fervency and zeal in serving the Lord but youre in the WRONG RELIGION. you need the Lord Jesus Christ and His Works on the Cross to shine and comprehend the darkness of those your church doctrines that blinds many to hell. Christianity is being saved from sin through faith in Christ alone. Mary nor rosary nor pope nor dead saint has virtually nothing nor any share in your salvation with Jesus. You can ask me more questions and by the grace of the Holy Spirit He will answer and lead you to the truth. God bless you

Catholics don't worship Mary but honor her as our mother, remember what jesus said in john 19:25-27. he said, ..... mother, here is your son, son here is your mother .....so we are Jesus brothers and sister. again Mary didn't bore another child before and after Jesus.

Udeme, if your are a real prophet as you claim, you don't need to be condemning others rather you pray for them. i am proud to be a catholic. remember, salvation is personal, i mean , am talking out of my spiritual experience not doctrine, Virgin Mary is my real mother.

Yet St Ignatius said: "where Jesus is, there is the Catholic Church" around 110AD...more than 200 years after Constantine was born.

Catholicism existed from Pentecost in Jerusalem 33AD. There is an unbroken line of Popes front St. Peter to Pope Francis.

Arise from ignorance.

Do you honor your parents the same way you honor Mary? Besides, are you sure what you give to Mary is merely honor?

You quoted Exodus 20:12, I want to believe you also read it preceding verses (like 4 and 5).

You are like a muslim that'll say Islam is peace while in real life you meet many muslims and see people that are ready to kill at a slight mistaken misuse of Mohammed's name.

You say Catholics don't do these things and as usual with Catholics you are ready to argue till eternity but in daylight practice you visit the average Catholic family or any Catholic church and see these happening in full glare.

I won't banter with you on this but let your conscience judge you as it will the muslims.

chaplet, mary status, cross are all against God's commandments.

"You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. Exodus 20:4

I was actually waiting to see her quote from scriptures where the Bibke enjoins Catholics to chant the Rosary. I chanted that for yrs, then I read "The Great Controvacy" and The Universe in Conflict" from that point, I started reading my Bible. I started looking for these things to see where God commanded his followers to do these things. Wen I didn't find, I left the Catholic religion. If u r still there, know that u r not a christian, u r just a catholic.
Why does the Catholic Reverence Fatima, Mohammed's fovarite daughter? Idol worshippers like muslims.

The answer is NO. There is nothing of such in the Bible. Jesus gave us prayer model in Mathew 6:9 and he never said a rosary would be needed for prayers. Let me ask you; can you not pray without a rosary? Did Jesus, Peter and other disciples use the rosary to pray and perform miracles?

Broda pls make a very good research or rather ask questions from members of catholic church before concluding......mary status is just a direction that leads to her what matters most as a Christian is your believe..who do you believe and trust in. As catholic we Apostles Creed...which says; I believe in God, the father Almighty, d creator of heaven and earth. The honoring of mother mary is most common to the legion of mary group and the catholic church entirely. As the mother of Our Lord Jesus Christ its her duty to win Souls for God, and how can she perform this her duty to the world?? Its is only by bring her to the world. The legion of mary grp then takes it as there duty to bring mary to the world and win souls for our lord Jesus Christ that's. As the mother of God she deserves honor.
Luke 1v48 behold all ages shall call me blessed Since Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the dead, conquering death for us, there is no reason why we cannot ask those in heaven to pray for us just as we ask those still living on earth for their prayers. After all, in Christ all are alive. Therefore we ask the Ever-Virgin Nary to pray to her Son for us, just as we also ask the Saints...most of us even tells our pastors/priest
angels, the saints ,and all faithful believers here on earth to pray on our behalf, as Scripture Commands us to do: "yes we can ask St paul to pray for us the pope and the bishop also. For the Status of Jesus Christ it is just a direction and your believe as I said earlier on. Most of us go to crusade wid pictures of relative, fwends and does who need prayers like the fruit of the womb etc....have you ever ask your self the reasons why dey come with the person's pictures. The reason is that they believe its a direction that leads to the person right So we as a catholic we believe its a direction to God
Thankz for understand broda
