purplemia: @ katsumoto... This thing is really paining you o! Better serve your God who gave you salvation and stop carrying other matters on your head, what concerns you with people and their pastors... If my opinion doesn't matter why did you bother reading and even responding ... Serve Jesus and focus on the salvation of your own soul before you start pointing fingers at others, God never told anybody catholic or not to pray to mary, it is not in the bible!!!

Katsumoto:

Show us proof that God wrote the Bible? Were you beside the prophets who wrote the Bible? How do you know it wasn't written by a bored chap or gal?

If one believes in Christ, the concept of Heaven and Hell, the reverence Christ had for his Mother while he was alive, then one can 'LOGICALLY' conclude that she is in Heaven. Didn't Christ promise a mere thief that he was going to join him in paradise? Isn't Religion faith based?

Some of you take the criticisms of Catholics and Mary too far. Yet come Sunday, you will be killing yourselves to open the doors for your pastors and their families.

CAMEROONPRIDE: it is in the bible to kill adulterous women? To kill gays, to kill unbelievers why don't u go and kill them?
Did the bible or God ask u to bring tam tam inside their church? To sing ? Did the God wrote his own praises or maybe the songs u use are in the bible? Dumb azzes leave catholics alone for Gods sake ...we never talk about u ..keep worshipping your pastors

dowjones: LMAO !! what are they assuming again? You catholics will sleep one day and wake up in hell.

John 19:26 just before Jesus died he said...'WOMAN, behold your son!' Then He said to the disciple, 'Behold YOUR MOTHER!'.

How can a VIRGIN give birth to 5 boys ! Jesus,Joseph, James, Jude, and Simon.

Mary was simply a vessel. Her work was done right after she gave birth to Jesus.

You catholics should be concerned with how much blood your "church" has shed in the name of "holy crusade".

Sometimes I wonder how almost 2 billion people are held in the bondage of CATHOLICSM!!!
Vatican City, well done o, you guys are damn good. Less than a thousand peeps (most of them 'oldies') effectively and effortlessly enslaving such a large population of people scattered around the world.
The vatican understanding that a physical god appeals better to man, coupled with the threat posed by the early CHRISTIANS, decided to adopt a form of christianity that has so much pagan dimension to it....talk abt the statutes, the crucifix, the festivals and other hidden clues.

The bitter truth is that catholics are not Christians, they are just "Pagans clothed in christianity".
I pray they find true salvation though.

Sometimes I imagine the number of petitions and prayers wasting on Mary's remains wherever it is. It's no better than praying through Sango or Amadioha.

italo: We Catholics also wonder how the Church has survived all the hatred, envy and persecution fron the biggest and most powerful human institutions in the world.

Then we hear Jesus whisper those words again:

"The gates of hades shall not prevail against you."

"I will be with you until the end of the age."

And our hearts are relaxed.

Catholic Church is the epitome of hatred, persecution, paganism and demonism. It is obvious you are not familiar with Church history, how can you say Catholic Church is being persecuted, are they not Chief persecutor of scientists and everyone who doesn't buy into their heretic doctrines?

Wake up and smell the coffee, it is time you flee the religion of dead bones and marianism.

Katsumoto:

But isn't that based on Faith? How can any man prove that God guided his hand as he was writing parts of the Bible. It is faith that makes us to believe. If you don't believe that, then you are unlikely to believe what is in the Bible. So it wrong for some to conclude that if something is not in the Bible, then it isn't real. Otherwise, everyone in the world who has read the Bible would be a Christian.

You missed the premise of my post.

WIMUNR?:

What is this biggest and most powerful institution in the world? Can you tell me which other institution controls more than 2 Billion people in the world? Which other institution has been deceiving folks for ages under the guise of religion just so they can get them to do whatever they want?
Are you sure it is Jesus whispering that to you or your "Queen Mary"?

PearlyJay: @ OP Welldone and may God bless you and every one who has contributed meaningfully to this thread. O Mary assumed into heaven, pray for us who have recourse to thee. SALVE REGINA
