[quote author=Adeola.....kk]Let me just say that its sad to see christians with different views.

for my catholic friends, if i dont honour mary, does it make me hell bounds? I also have many doubts about the catholic doctrine. If it was so perfect, why are there pentecostal churches. Don't try to justify honouring mary. No one should be given half as much glory as God.

also you shouldn't be biased about this issue because you are a catholic. Its better to follow the word of God because being a catholic doesn't guarantee you heaven. We r told in d Bible to rightly divide the word of truth which means we shouldnt just cite a chapter in the Bible and start following it. Just Be wise because the devil has ways of distracting us[/quote]Oh yes 300000 perfect penticostal denominations with 300000 variable perfect truths from thesame Holy Spirit right?

May God help us

MEGA4BILLION: @op The problem with you people is that you dont read your bible, you believe anything Tom and Dick tells you. 1) We shall judge the angels, angel Gabriel inclusive. See 1cor 6:3. 2) worshiping of craven image of any kind is a sin. see Exo 20:4. 3) we have only one mediator Jesus. see 1Tim 2:5. 4) the worship of Mary is a pagan worship refered to as queen of heaven that the roman introduce into christianity. see Jere 44:11-22.
Oh yes we will judge the angels when we have been judged and found worthy

abbey621: The bold statement is incorrect! Try not to read the bible word for word but look at the deeper meaning, Hebrew 2 verse 7 talks not about importance but physical attributes, the angels are majestic beings and have certain attributes humans do not have but humans were created in God's image and represents God's greatest creation. Furthermore read more about why the devil was cast out of heaven and you'll understand why humans are called God's greatest creations.
I gave bible verses to prove my point.

Give me the one that said we are greater than angels "now"

Snoopy wallace: Its nt wrong to honour her,bt why dont u honour joseph 2,cos two of them where in it together...afterall,d angel also appeared to joseph...note,even when jesus was on earth he always called her woman because he knew pple like u who look for the slightest opportunity to serve,sorry honour wld arise...listen,you shall worship the lord your God and him only shall you serve...he doesnt share his glory with anybody....did you hear of any of apostles after Jesus like Paul,Peter,stephen,timothy e.t.c honour maryhuh
Sorry dear we honour all the saints including Mary and Joseph. Maybe you are yet to know of our prayer to St Joseph.

[quote author=Engr.yagulam]*mary is blessed and deserve respect bt not worship
*she gave birth to jesus and not GOD because jesus clearly stated that GOD is in the heaven[/quote]Mary is only being honoured dear.

Since Jesus is not God yet even angel were made to worship him Hebrew1V6.
Heb1V8 he was referred to as God.

Please how many deities are we supposed to worship?

achu442: I am greater than the angels in heaven...I AM A god......Catholics talk more of Mary than The HolySpirit and even Jesus Himself.....and mind u....its only the Romans that understand that Catholicsm is a cult/order and not a church.There are many secrets your Rev fathers,Knigths and pope know that all of u don't...Jesus and Mary are in heaven.,it is The HolySpirit that is with us...Acknowledge and recognise His presence it will be well with u.
Are you greater than the angels because you said so?

Bible clearly state we are lower than angels for now but will be greater than them in the world to come.

Stop bragging dear read Heb 2 concentrate on Verses 5and7

You know what our pope and rev frs know yet we don't know them right?

You guys just make me laughgrin

jameskan: i what to ask all the Catholics, are you all saying that its only virgin Mary is the only virgin n the righteous person that timehuh that's not true, she's not, she is privilege to be the one chosen doesn't call for worshiping her. an idol is an idol. non-catholic respect her but not to worship her or ask her to pray for you.
there are other virgin and righteous women then, GOD cannot use all of them the same time.
If you followed this thread well, I clearly stated there were thousands of virgins in her time but God favoured her among them therefore we honour her and rejoice with her for being the chosen.

gbrown: bros there is no need to rain insults on people, we all seek the truth, i was once a catholic, the worship of mother and son dates back to the kingdom of nenevih, nimrod and the mother semiramis are the originators of this practice they even had priest who acted as intermediaries between the people and the sun god, thier are so many things catholics undulged in that are not in conformity with the bible
*catholics pray to Mary to intercede on thier behalf
*catholics pray to saints to intercede on thier behalf
*the Roman catholic bible contains the apocryphal which is not included in the king James version
*catholics believe in purgatory
my beloved brother, i have moved with seminarians and priest believe me they are very human, i dont want to go into gory details,
bros,whichever way you look at it, it,s wrong to worship or pray to Mary, i,ll suggest you research on d ancient worship of the sun god by the Romans you will see striking similaritie,
finally, my bros, lets look up to Christ the author and finisher of our faith, it,s not every doctrine we accept it must be bible compliant, may the peace of the lord be with you, i guess u wanna know if i honour Mary?yes i do so in my own unique way, i say thank u lord for Mary who was found worthy if not for her mankind would have been lost, bros it ends there, i will never worship or pray to Mary that,s idolatry it,s unscriptural
Do a little research dear king james version used to have apocrypha.
Beside it is not an obligation to use KJV

Jdesilentkiller: As funny as it may sound but Catholics were seriously misguided. How can u honour a woman who was previously unknown likewise later.She was a gud woman, likewise many in pre-Jesus era. But can u (Catholics) point any significant account of her life, apart from giving birth to our LORD JESUS. "mind u many women were virgins at the time, while some women lived and died virgins. Point to note: She only find favour in God's sight.
Oh yes we honour her more because she was chosen out of thousands of virgins in the world.

She is blessed among women.

myOGAonTOP: indirectly? Hmmmm. Thats a good one. Very interesting. I would have loved you to explain the CONTEXT of that passage (lets assume am a real novice to the whole thing). Cos other denomination MIGHT interprete the 'woman' as the church (just as they did in song of solomon) Thank you sir
If we interpret the woman to be the church, what will her son be then? Certainly not Christ for the church did not give birth to Christ instead Christ instituted the church when he said " on this rock I will build my church"

Marriage is the process by which two people(man and woman) who love each other make their relationship public , official and permanent. Therefore marrages btwn non-catholics or what ever religion are considered valid

Mark 6v3-6 has nothing to do with our Jesus' birth.

Luke1v26-45 never proved she doesn't need to believe and accept.
Christianity Etc › Re: Bitter Truth About Blessed Virgin Mary by SalC: 7:43pm On Dec 16, 2013
kamura: Are you aware that of all the people that have met Jesus,

Peter
Mattew
Stephen
Mary the mother of Jesus
Mary Magdalene
Jeseph the carpenter
Zaccheus
Paul
Luke
Andrew
Batherlomen
Judas iscarot
James
John e.t.c

The Apostle Paul, the former Saul of Tarus, is who i respect and honor the most. . not even Mary or Peter. .

He wrote 14 books of the new testament

Roman
I Corinthians
II Corinthians
I Timothy
II Timothy
Titus
I Thessalonian
II Thessalonian
Galatian
Ephesians
Phillipians
Colossians
Philomen
and Hebrews. .

You can see, that the greatest person that ever lived in the dispension of grace. . . after Jesus Christ, was Apostle Paul. .

The reason, is that Christ is more concern about passing the message of his life, death and resurrection, to all lost souls. Anyone who believes, and baptized is saved. . .[not water baptism as a child or sprinkling of water, i mean water baptism by immersion] Not believing alone is condemnation. .

And nobody did it like Apostle Paul. . .
You honour Paul more, I honour Mary more, it is our individual choice.

I won't go into telling you if Paul actually wrote those books or not . That's an issue for another day. Thanks to the Catholic church( the mother church) For what you think you know about those books.

As far as the bible is concerned, Paul is not the greatest.
Jesus Christ clearly placed John the baptist above Paul.

God wouldn't have forcefully caused her to bear his son if she had said no, and yes her response matter because it caused the manifestation of God's will in her life.
Luke 1V45 For blessed is she that believed, for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Oh yes she believed and accepted in verse 38 of Luke 1

fijiano202: Question :Do you think mary has any spiritual Significant? Hell NO,As it is clearly written in the bible,The faith of a father can not save or gurantee his Son that he will make heaven,it doesnt mean that because Mary gave birth to Christ that she has Automatic Ticket to Heaven and Pls where in the bible did the angel wait for mary to say yes cos theres nothing like that in Luke,Matthew pls tell me where u saw that
If the faith of a believing wife can make an unbelieving husband acceptable to God and even affect their children, what are you then talking about? 1cor7V13-16.

There are things we shouldn't rush to their conclusions; we are not God.

Very important question but difficult to answer since we are not God.

God alone knew why he chose her and all we can do is respect his choice and give honour to she who was chosen.
Christianity Etc › Re: A Thread For Catholics by SalC: 5:44pm On Dec 16, 2013
POPE II: 8. Catholics should try not to marry non-Catholics because such marriages sometimes result in loss of Faith on the part of the Catholic and in neglect of the religious training of the children. The Church does sometimes, but always reluctantly and only for very grave reasons, grant dispensations from her law regarding these mixed marriages. When the Church does grant them, she always insists that the non-Catholic party promise (sometimes even in writing) not to interfere with the Catholic life of the other party. Also that both parties have all the children of the marriage baptized and brought up in the Catholic Faith. Most priests would probably advise caution and clearly state expectations. Of course, there is the idea and understanding that some mixed marriages will later turn out a convert. So trying to stick to dating Catholics only might be a better idea just for the sake of simplicity. Doesn’t mean it can’t happen the other way, of course. {side note: I happen to know a couple whose mixed marriage produced two sons who are practicing Catholics, one of whom is a seminarian, and the non-Catholic spouse ended up becoming Catholic but it did take 22 years for this to happen.} So, while it is ideal for couples to be both Catholic, it is not unknown for there to be successful mixed marriages as long as certain expectations are observed from the beginning.***


What do you guys think about this^ esp the the bolded part? It seems like many Catholics are fond of non catholics , is love really blind? tongue

As for me I can't marry a non Catholic, what about you ? I know the women will come with their you can not control your heart and feelings but erm

If he had used any other person, we will still honour that person today.

Whoever does not believe that Christ came in flesh is an anti-christ.

To come in flesh he must have a mother

Since he has a mother, she deserve to be honoured.
