In RC religious practice, prayer is not always the same as worship. Repeat! In RC religious practice, prayer is not always the same as worship."Where in scripture does Christ command us to pray to Mary?" Resp: Where in scripture does he tell us not to? In RC theology, the Church is one undivided Family....the dead...and the undead. For God is the God of the Living and not the dead. Futhermore, Christ commands us to "pray for one another". No where does he caution us to follow suit only if we're still living. Mary is the 'Queen Mother' to Christ as King, in the same way as Solomon and Bathseba. People would ask the 'Geborah' for a favorable answer from the King. The King was free to say 'yes' or 'no'. For an occasion where the Queen Mother asked and the King said 'yes' (with some reservations)...read the story of the Marriage at Canaan. Mary needed Jesus as her Savior, though she herself was preserved from sin. This favor was granted by God the Father because of the salvidic actions of her son, since she was to be the spotless vessel to carry God to men. This is why she is sometimes called the 'Ark of the Covenant'. |

EA: You are thinking like a man, in only 4 dimensions. God is beyond time and space, he is beyond our physical senses and our logic. God the Father gave Jesus all Authority and said, "Sit at my right-hand until I make your enemies, your foot-stool". Jesus also said, "I am with you always...". He CAN sit at his Father's right hand AND be present with us in the Eucharist. To limit God the way that you imply is almost childish. You imply that all knowledge is found within the scriptures, but even the bible says that there was more written about Jesus that could have been contained in books, but those books would fill the whole world. Not even the bible claims to be the entire rule of faith. The Church was founder by Christ to teach and preach not to write. The bible is the crutch that the Church stands by. The Church is the "pillar and bulwark of truth" - 1 Tim 3:15. If the bible contains all that we need to know, then why does God send the Holy Spirit to "lead us in all truth"? The RCC does not teach that the Mass is a re-execution of Jesus, but rather a re-experiencing of his death by us in the present. Read John 6. To have life in you, you must eat his flesh and drink is blood. |

EA: Perhaps your god can only be in one place at a time, but my God is omnipotent, omni-present, and capable of the miracle of the Eucharist. Catholic's believe in God's Word (Scripture) and Christ's oral teaching as given orally to the Apostles and passed down to their disciples (Holy Tradition...that why its called Holy). If God doesn't continue to act in your heart, you will be in hell too! OSAS is wishful thinking ("not every one who says 'Lord, Lord...'"-Matt 7:21). My posts are filled with irritation, I don't hate Prots. I save any hatred for those who kill my countrymen. When you attack Christ's Church you attack me personally.MH: You insult my intelligence with your lame canard about Catholics worshipping the same god as moslims. As I have pointed out on many occasions, they worship the one Creator God that we all serve, but they aren't aware of his true teaching's, rather they choose to fellow Mohammad, a false teacher. DJC49: Please do some research before you accuse. The RCC does not believe that we re-execute Jesus...y'all believe that we do. We say the Mass is a real re-experiencing of the first Crucifixion...therefore we also believe that Jesus died only once. |

MH: The Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit....no Allah...not now...not ever! Next Lie?TAC: Ignorant Christians have been predicting who the AC is for 2000 years...welcome to the club! "It seems that the inquisition is on its way." Resp: If so, then it will either be a Protestant one or an Islamic one, but without the 'Inquiry' part....just the torment and killing part. Certain Prots are filled with demonic hate for Rome...the Moslims just hate all Christians regardless of theology. "A slap in the face for the Arch Bishop of Canterbury who continually flirts with Rome." Resp: The Archbishop of C. deserves to be slapped, but for flirting with Apostacy, (even more so than Prots usually flirt with A.) not Catholicism. |
