Mary was not the messiah. If you continue to worship and pray to her, you are committing sins and may miss heaven eventually.
Stop this act so that you will not be left behind when the rapture trumpet sounds. It will be well with your soul.

I will not reply to this thread because I dont want to argue nor debate as it may likely lead to hot debate. I only intend to get people who are on the wrong tract get right before rapture.

watch and pray. HE comes quickly. shalom.

i know you are going to check back even though you said you are not going to reply so i am going to get involve a bit. You are not going to continue to insist that a people are worshiping that which they have said time and time again that they are not worshiping afterall you are not the one doing the so-called worship for them. Remember; true worshipers are those who do so in truth and in spirit not those who bow or perform any gesture. Dont pretend i do not have a point.

If the son is worthy of worship, definitely the mother must be more worthy of worship, no? Leave the sexism alone, dude. And while you are at it, leave the catholics alone to worship whomever they wish. No be ya business.

It is Bhuddists that told us their relationship with Bhudda... And we accept.

Hindus told us theirs with Krishna, we accept.

Muslims say they worship Allah and Muhammad was his messenger - we accept.

Ifa priest tells us his relationship with ifa, we accept.

All other Christians tell us they worship God through Jesus, his son. We accept.

Even Atheists say they believe in NO God or gods and we take their word.

But why is it that in the case of Catholics, its other people that are telling us whom we worship. They say we worship Mary because we pray through her and have statues of her in addition to praying to Jesus. In other words, we don't believe in Jesus, Mary is our God. If Mary were our God, why would we deny worshipping her?

And it is not just Mary that we pray through and have statues of. It is the same with all the Angels and Saints (thousands of them). We pray through all of them and have statues and paintings of practically all of them. Does that then mean that we worship thousands of gods?

How can a man read another man's mind and tell him who he worships?

I think you should first define what you mean by "worship"

Is it kneeling or bowing in front of something or someone? If so, it would mean that Yoruba people worship their elders.

Is it asking someone else to pray to God for us? If so it would mean that everyone who tells his/her friend "pray for me" worships him/her. And everyone who says about a dead person "may God rest his/her soul" is taking the place of God for that person.

How is it that you people look and look but do not see?
