Take for instance,

If I have the fore-knowledge of a plot to assassinate someone on Monday en route to work (I eavesdropped on the plotters) and advised that target should either stay put at home or take another route, if he heed and thus remain alive:

I delivered him from that danger. No?
Mary has no foreknowledge of anything.

Where can I find what you just said in the bible, Sire? I need the chapter & verse just exactly as you said 'that God made Mary the Queen of the Apostles'

Another thing I want to talk about is death, 4/5 of Christians don't understand what death is and what sleep is
SLEEP: a state where u have no control whatsoever of ur physical body but ur soul still functions on the spiritual realm and can fellowship with God, everyone sleeps this I call temporary sleep, permanent sleep is one in which u don't wake up everyone must partake in this sleep.

DEATH: a state where u are cut off from fellowship with God in the spiritual realm, this occurs when u have been condemned by God. My prayers is dat none of u partake in this.

REFERENCE
Genesis 2:16-17
Psalms 30:2,4,5,6,11,12,13
Mark 5:21-43
WISDOM 1:13-15, 2:23-24

is it not the same bible that tells us a story about wedding in Cana when the wine was finishing and Mary came to beg Jesus and he said 'mother you know my time has not come but because you are my mother I will do it. What will you say about that? Cos the only thing you people do these days is to condemn churches and abandon your faith. Why don't you let all of us meetf on the judgement day and leave judgment for God

Liar.

1. Jesus never said he ll do the miracle because of his mother. Read again in John 2: 4. Even if it was the people that wedded that came and made that request, Jesus would ve still done it. There is nothing in that passage that suggests that Jesus did that miracle because of his mother.

2. Mary made that request just like every other person that requested for miracle from Jesus in the bible. Jesus did much difficult miracle for other people than he did for Mary so nothing special about Mary's request.

Oh really?

If Abraham can hear us, (see the rich man and Lazarus) Lk 16:19-31....So Mary can hear.

Prayer. The communication with God is more a spiritual than physical thing, for God is a spirit. If you don't need her help,I have no problem with that, but don't condemn me for asking a righteous person to pray for me because "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective". James 5:16



If Abraham can hear us like Mary does, why don't you ask Abraham to intercede for you too? Why only Mary?

Sorry friend, Christianity can supersede logic but it does not contradict it.

Those who say they came out from nowhere have a lot of illogicalities and inconsistencies to deal with. No, not the christian.

I think everyone agrees that everyone agree that we all came out of "nowhere" ,
it is from the definition of nowhere that various disagreements emanate from.

Thanks my dear, at least you gave me good pointers.

Well I was asking for the children of Mary not the brothers of Jesus, if you care I can still give you verses to prove that though these people are called Jesus' they are not the children and I hope you know the word used there doesn't necessarily mean biological brothers.

It might be a long walk but am ready to go all the way.
Verse 35 of mark chap 3 shows the clear distinction btw Jesus natural(biological) & spiritual brothers.

U still dont get it. The silly Mary that u people are worshipping is an idol, a mermaid. Jesus did not support the worship of his mother so whoever thinks it is the mother of Jesus that he or she is praying to is fooling himself or herself.

We won't achieve anything from this discussion if answer questions with questions.
because catholics dont take the Bible as the only source of doctrine. however, whatever they say/do cannot contradict the bible.

nonetheless, the scriptures can be subject to several interpretations that is why the most important entity on the life of a christian (catholic or protestant) is the Holy Spirit.

Were you able to understand your post? please help me out (no offence)
my frend, by leaving d catholic church to
another has it changed anything frm u?
I mean fortune, joy,happiness,peace of
mind, wealth? What i want u to know is that u
should respect the opinion of people.
There are traditions in every aspect of life
be it vocation, family, communities
and religion. Example of family tradition is ways of greeting elders, vocational tradition also is doctors n lawyers puting on their uniforms.
So if catholic state her
tradition( by honouring mary) dont u think the church is also following her tradition just as Jesus said 'he did
not come to change d law(tradition) but
to fufil its righteousness' same with
moses telling d isearlites to follow the
tradition.
So if catholic has tradition
what is ur new church tradition? Since
bible said only the miracle of christ if
written down, d world alone wont be able to
carry it. How much more some
important events which would have been
useful for our salvation. Thats why the
bible said ask ur elders to tell u things of
the past because the bible itself knew that this
type of argument will happen in future. My point is if honouring mary by catholics does not make catholic to stop loving (which is the greatest commandment) her fellow human begin then why the hate? Thats why i asked u if leaving catholic u have gotten all the wealth,joy,happiness if this world?

Came out and created are synonymous.
While the "nowhere" could be spontaneous or intelligently directed.
Whichever one we believe , we all indirectly accept that something did start out from nothing.

This short prayer says otherwise.




We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen.

I wonder who gave her such power.
But your pastor have power to cast demons and rebuke devil. Who gave him?

We Ador her.

All this we do for her contributions to the birth and death of christ.

Mother Mary was choosen by God himself.

It is our property bro, we decided what to put and what not to put. And for those we didn't put, we decide what to take and what not to take. No one can tell the Catholic Church what the bible says, we spread Christianity for years without a collective book, for the "Pillar and ground of truth" is the Church 1tim.3:15.
The Bible is inspired of God. It is not the property of any man nonetheless the Catholic church (2nd Tim 3:16-17). That is why earlier attempts to destroy it by man has failed, even those made by the Catholic church.

No dear I don't "read" my bible, it is not sun newspaper rather I "study" and my study led me to ask that question.

Let me make it clear that am a Catholic who don't believe sola scriptura that was why I didn't narrow my question down to bible to him but I see you choose to refer specifically to the bible, so I will be glad if you will enlighten me with the bible because am yet to find my answer to this in it.

Shalom
sir, please don't be confused with semantics and am sure that your study has not also led you to this passage below Matt 13:55
Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? [56] And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this Man get all these things?" [57] So they were offended at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house...

Then speaking about not referring specifically to the bible is there any other book that has the account of Jesus that Christians believe in other than the bible? If there is please am willing to learn
