From the Daily Sceptic... Matthew 24:9 is coming true: you will be hated by all nations for My name’s sake...

"Muslim candidates and elected representatives… need make no excuses for their personal faith. To criticise a Muslim, or any other minority, for the illiberal tenets of their faith would be prejudicial. But Christians? They’re fair game."
show me where Jesus told us to pray to his earthly mother. i'll wait. earthly as in HUMAN. she is dead. she cannot answer your prayers.
We pray to Mary, and the Saints, for the same thing we pray to Jesus for, for INTERCESSION on our behalf with God the Father. Jesus is the intercessor with God the Father for all men. It's really no different than if a sick friend asks you to pray for them. It isn't about you, they aren't worshiping you, it's about God, and they're asking you to be an intermediary.
that to me is like saying that Jesus can't handle all our prayers Himself.
on earth, in human form, we ask our brothers and sisters to pray for us and with us because we are told that where two or more are gathered together in His name (Jesus' name) it shall be done.
Jesus said no one comes to the Father but through the Son.
The Bible literally references intercession:
1 Sam 7:8
You'll find other references in the Bible about outcries being so great God acts, so why wouldn't you enlist other people to assist in your petitions by asking them to pray for you?:
Genesis 19:13
As far as no one coming to the Father except through the Son that means there is no salvation except through Jesus, no eternal life except through Jesus, not that you can't pray to God directly or ask others, living or dead, to do so on your behalf.

She isn’t answering the prayers, she is taking them to Jesus as she took the wedding feast lack of wine issue to Jesus.
Boop.
Edit: https://www.catholic.com/search?q=Pray%20to%20mary Study all of em
i refuse to study your cult Catholicism. i guess you think your pope is pure? haha!
You literally wanted answers and when provided, you bail. Nice. You seem more interested in feeling like you on than actually learning. How intellectually dishonest.
i never BAILED. see how stupid you are, always making shit up and making false accusations. i'm done with this until you read the King James Bible and get back with me.
what's the description of insanity, doing the same thing over and expecting a different result. when people are as stupid as you, i cannot continue with the same BS over and over. you are null and void to me. so go away and come back once you have done your own research.
you said that i said Jesus was dead. you are a liar. i never said that.
go read the King James Bible and get back with me.
and NO dead people cannot intercede for you, Jesus said He is the ONLY way to the Father. what do you not get about that, you cult boot licker.
Dead? You think Jesus in heaven is dead? People in heaven are not dead, they are alive in Jesus. What the…
Just like you can ask your ALIVE mother to pray for you, you can ask Mary who is alive in heaven to pray for you. What’s next, intercessory prayer doesn’t work?
The saints, including Mary, are alive in heaven.
i NEVER said Jesus is dead. you are making shit up. re-read my post. if you can't fight with facts, fight with lies. who does that sound like?? a freaking lefty, SJW.
THEY cannot answer your prayers!!!
do you use a Ouija board??? sounds like you are delusional.
Re read my post. You said they cannot answer prayers and I told you they intercede. What, you don’t believe people can successfully pray for you? You didn’t answer.
There's one mediator between man and God, Jesus Christ.
Don't you catholics pray to dead saints on all saints day to borrow some of their good works from the treasury of merit to lessen your time in purgatory?
I haven't read that in scripture, where would I find it?
God's lines reach everyone.
Why do you need an operator?
Dial direct.
You’ve never asked someone to pray for you? There’s requests here on GA all the time. Intercessory prayer is great.
