Mary is an idol to Catholics. Portraying Jesus as a baby in many of their images is to push Jesus reliance on Mary. Catholics pray to Mary as an intermediary to God. Similarly they will pray to angels and saints as an intermediary. The problem is that the only time the bible talks about praying / speaking to saints and the like is in a negative context, those people are called mediums, talking to the dead. They usually ask saints, angels, mary or whoever to pray for them because they supposedly have more direct access to God since theyre perfected in love. But the truth is anyone who believes in jesus true gospel and has been sealed with the holy spirit has "direct access" to God as much as mary, saints, or angels.
There you go again - dividing Christians.
YOU are doing the work of the devil by dividing us.
What's with the Catholic hate?
You persist in this - and drive away a large number of patriots.
He states the truth…. Look how most of what we discuss involves “centralization” being bad in any form. The catholic church is centralized whereas Christian denominations are not. Point to the chapter/verse where Mary ascended…..I’ll wait.
