Praying to Mary is....

"Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet." Luke 11:26-29

The Hail Mary prayer. Note that it is a prayer to Mary and a prayer requesting Mary to intercede for the sinner, and the phrase 'mother of God' implies a primacy of Mary over God, which is evil.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time." 1 Tim 2:5-6

Also, "a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice".
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience AS ALSO SAITH THE LAW.
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." 1 Cor 14:34-35

As for the princes of the Roman Catholic church from whom the doctrines regarding Mary have come (cardinals, from among whom the pope is chosen):

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." Psalm 118:9

If even Jesus doesn't pray the Father for us because the Father Himself loves us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins, then certainly there is no role for Mary as a helper of our prayers.

"At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God." John 16:26-27

The real reason protestants down play to roll of Mary is that they don't like the idea that anyone was every a better christian then them.

[Enoch2]

@Works101abel Well, I'm not really a Protestant, and no doubt Mary was a better Christian than me! But you don't pray to Christians, even the very best of them.

"I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles, though I be nothing." 2 Cor 12:11

[SkyHeavenMaranatha]

Maryology will get a person nowhere. Just like Bal worship or the worship of Moleck these are false gods. Jesus Christ is The only way !

[gracetalks04]

i remember Enoch, when i was 16 being very* drawn to the catholic church, and took instruction from a priest, learnt the prayers in latin etc, but towards the end it was this issue about Mary, whom i should pray, that i could not continue, thus to say the young priests were perplexed in my decision

[Works101abel]

i don't see what is wrong with remembering great Christians, if it is true that the good they do is Christ working in them. honoring them is honoring Christ and praying to Christ in them is not a lessening of the worship of God, it is the praise of his works.

@gtepp031387 I would like to encourage all people that I have been talking to, on the internet. To see "Catholicism vs Biblical Faith" posted by formeragnostic. The ex priest who talks there is definitly on an arrogant anticatholic but a true Christian.

[medusa210562]

I don't believe you must belong to a certain denomination to be a true christian,I don't judge your heart, only God can do that, but this life is not easy. "IF YOU BREAK ONE OF THE LIST OF THE COMMANDMENTS YOU HAVE BROKEN THEM ALL". I suffered for the catholic church from when I was a little boy, my grandmother tough me to pray, but it was all "mea culpa mea culpa mea culpa"Matthew 23:4 "my fault my guilt my mistake" I lived the dark ages myself, MYSELF, But JESUS IS BEAUTIFUL. God bless

[gtepp031387]

@medusa210562 You are free to follow Satan, but it will condemm you to hell.

We have covered all the other stuff that you have posted at lease twice, and you have not produced a single authoritative teaching from the church that is wrong, or said to kill anyone. Unless you have something to offer to the table that we have no discussed, good by and may the grace of GOD lead you home.

Respond to this video... Form the year 300 to about 1400 the atrocities of the catholic church are tremendous. I grew uh up in the south of Italy so I have seen with my eyes a mini version of the dark ages. I could write a book my self. Like the mafia pinning money on the Madonna, And people doing pilgrimages allover the world to witness prodigious signs. Like saints bleeding etc etc. I believe firmly with all my intellect the catholic church is the historical Antichrist.
