It is ok to pray Mary. the 2000 years of Catholic tradition proved it with tons of testimonials. Altough Jesus didnt directly invite people to pray his mom, he still offer herto the humanity though John the Apostle when he was dying on the cross.
Praying the Rosary is a great christian, catholic prayer.


Hmm I wonder if Jesus was a Catholic :rolleyes:

She's not the mother lol.

In the beginning were 3
The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.

Does it say anything about a mother? No.

the Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus, who is the son of God and God himself. However, The virgin Mary is the Mother of God.

Its a very easy equation.

I am afraid that for you Jesus is a new born christian lol

Dude, Jesus had to come to the planet somehow.

Mary is a human, and God's plan for her life happen to be to give birth to Jesus Christ so that he would walk the planet with us. That doesn't mean she literally made Jesus. Jesus existed before the world was evern made!
Can you not get that through your head? Jesus already existed. Mary did by no means bring Jesus into existence.

God's plan for your life could very well be way above that of Mary. Why do you put Mary on some high pedistal? Even Jesus said we would do better works than him.

Its the basic of the incarnation of Jesus on earth and I know that already. Mary was human like you and me but she was also chosen by God to born Jesus which confer her a special status. Luke 1: 42: "God has blessed you above all women, and your child is blessed." and read again the Wedding of Cana and how Mary has a special relation to her son and how she can bring Graces from God on earth. Its a fact and I know its not easy for you to understand that but w/e people who not accept that wont change anything about it especially not from random new born christian with no real Bible study in background.

You don't even know who I am and you have no clue how long I've been a christian. Don't even judge like that.
I'm not gonna stoop down that low and say anything like that to you, because I know that love is the most powerful force on the Earth.

Mary can't bring any special graces down to Earth that you can't just to let you know. In fact you can do MANY things more powerful Mary.
Yes god chose her. BUT GOD CHOSE YOU TOO! Don't you understand? She's not any higher above than you could be. She's not anymroe righteous than you could be.

How come you don't understand that Mary is no more righteous than you could be? God's favor is not anymore on her than it could be on you.
All you have to do is obey and seek God first of all things. You think I'm trying to condemn your beliefs but this thing has you bound, and I'm trying to get you to realize what Jesus truly did when he died on that cross for you.

YOU WILL DO GREATER WORKS THAN JESUS HIMSELF! This religious mind has you bound to throw away verses like that, thinking "eh, I could never do anything better than Jesus". YES! YOU COULD! And praise God I will persue those things with all my heart and I WILL do greater things than Jesus.
This is an encouragement, not a judgement. I'm trying to help you man.

lol at bold.
Normally, when someone said he want to help the other he didnt realise that this person need help himself even more. I know your biased new born christian preaching bro. Ive heard that song so many times already. Please, dont worry about me. If you think by stop me praying God Through Mary is helping me, I can see a real problem here and Its not mine let me tell you.. ;)

I am very confortable with the expression of my faith and Praying God through Mary using the Rosary method is one of them and I am not the only one. This type of prayer gives me a huge step in my spiritual journey and in the last 2000 years, millions of people can bring testimonials as well. Again, its not a random new born again christian who will change that.

Tradition doesn't mean squat and tons of testimonials means even less when they are built upon false pretenses. There are loads of Catholic "traditions" that were reevaluated in the first and second Vatican councils and all throughout the first 15 centuries because they were bogus - built upon greed and heresies. You've heard of a little thing called indulgences? If you base your beliefs on what's been done rather than what the foundation for anything Christ-centered faith is obtained from - the Bible - then you are in quite a bit of danger.

No where in the Bible do you see praying to anything other than God appropriate - in the end that is considered idolatry. You are to be fully devoted to God - not the surrogate mother of Jesus.

Your arrogance and immaturity is disgusting. You need to do an intensive self-evaluation before you even consider having constructive and honoring conversations about God. I think Jesus is addressing you here:

Matthew 23:13
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to!"

p.s. I have degrees in Biblical Studies, Theology, and Ministry. Leave your red herrings at home.

For my own curiosity, beside the teaching of your friend Copeland, what kind of Bible study did you get ? Have you been to University in theology or something similar ? Dont be offended but just asking.. Because so far the understanding of the Bible you have showed here is as awful as your Hallelujah Cover showed in your profile.. ;)


Way to show the love of Christ, bro. Maybe you should spend your time a little bit more constructively and pray to him rather than his mom. Maybe you won't be such a... modern-day pharisee.
