chukwudi44:1 Timothy 2:5 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, In trinity, Jesus is one person in "one God." If Jesus is involved in this one God, are catholics implying that Mary is now the mediator between man and God? Can trinitarians and catholics answer this without messing themselves up. Remember...one mediator. |

Ubenedictus: u no fit read? Please read this and answer the question. It is for all catholics. if one of the Israelites secretly go to where Moses kept the bronze snake and kneel before it saying "O! Great serpent, bring me and household healing from god." Do you think the person did the right thing and that God will be happy with the person? |

Catholics do not worship Mary they honor her as a great and holy person as far as prayer goes prayer means "talk to" that is why it is alright to pray to deceased loved ones saints Mary and most important Jesus however in the RCC their are 4 types of prayer petition, contrition, thanksgiving, and adoration. the first three can be to any of those mentioned above but since we only adore God( not Mary or anything else as you may think) we can only pray prayers of adoration to Jesus(God) i hope that explains it 1 Like |

Images are powerful. Images penetrate our souls and often remain there. Images shape our minds and souls. Whateever images enter your mind become a part of you |

grailife: Images are powerful. Images penetrate our souls and often remain there. Images shape our minds and souls. Whateever images enter your mind become a part of you I hope you have the image of lucifer? No? Since images are now made at randomly, lucifer's blacksmith would want him to also be represented and bowed to. Ride on with your ''imagenation.'' |

Ubenedictus: it is quite simple veneration (honor) and intercession can only be given to beings wu are believe to be alive like the saints in heaven! Why No? Was it not God that asked Moses to make the bronze snake for the israelites to look unto it and get healing? Anyway you answered well. There are so many lessons to learn from my question and your answer. It is always good to wait for God to instruct you before you create anything, if not you are making an idol and He will not associate Himself with it. You might making your self the instructor of things He does not approve. Since images are being made @ random, lucifer that desire worship like say tomorrow no dey will take the opportunity and make his own image to be bowed to. He is very cunning. You can't say whose image you kneel and bow to, even though you name it jesus. Please let us carefully examine these things. |

Boomark:hahaha, wen u don't address honor and prayer to the image, the image is never an occasion for idolatry. If i am in a prison and d jailors put d physical image of d devil b4 me and i address my prayas to christ and bow my head during d prayer does that mean i worship satan? No it doesnt. In that case d said image is immaterial, if d image help me in recall what i am in christ it is simply a prayer aid. |

And you must use the image of the devil as a prayer aid to remember Christ? You can't even think again. Since bowing to any image is now part what catholic teach, it doesn't matter. When God said "make no image of anything and bow to it..." He didn't say "make no image of anything and pray to it". Making such images in the first place is a disobedient to God not to talk of using is as prayer aid. 3 Likes |

Let's not complicate issues wit too much grammar and deviations from the truth; 1. ALL graven images represent idolatory; whether holy Mary or unholy Sussan! Using Holy Mary is just a styllish bewitchment. God's standards are 'yeah' or 'Nay'. Why would a man with the Spirit of God go bow to a graven image of a mortal. Holy Mary was only a vessel to deliver Jesus, nothing more! 2. 'Holy Mary...pray for us' That's useless. It's substituting the mediating work of the Holy Spirit for an esteemed creature. 1 Like |

Any image created or use to worship GOD is idol worshiper just like babalawo use statues to worship the devil, orisa, osun, etc. Every religion has image of GOD, JESUS, PAUL, BUDHA, DEVIL, MARY, etc. The only religion that doesn't have it if ISLAM. In Islam, u dont see image of GOD, MUHAMMAD, ISA, etdc. In christianity, because they believe that Jesus is GOD then automatically Mary is GOD's mother and MARY should deserve more praises than GOD. Muslims use the rosary to count NOT use it to worship GOD. Another name for it is 'counter.' Can I ask a question. In exams, if they ask who is JESUS's Father, what should the answer be? |
