Why so many people think Catholics Worship Mary? And the Saints? As worshipers of idols?
Seriosuly bugs me. im a catholic and people seem to think that we are idol worshipers who bow to the saints and statues.
But no, we ask them to pray for us, is not the same as praying with them …
not worship Mary, which I invite you to basically talk to God for us.
fellow Catholics, Am I right?
- And thin people that Catholics Worship Mary and saints?
- Why not some Catholics think Catholics Worship Mary and idols?
- How many of you believe Catholics Worship Mary and idols?
- Why people still worship statues and idols?
- Catholics pray to idols … Why all the Catholic Christians do not believe that the idols Ore?.
You are 100% correct. Noncatholics Many believe the worst because they do not know any better, they are misinformed and do not bother to educate themselves about Catholicism. And Catholics who actively go about the attacks and the dissemination of falsehoods will have to answer for the sins of false pride and harmful.
I know I will not worship or any of the saints. But I grew up Catholic, and I saw many people kneeling in front of the statues, standing in front of the statues or praying, lighting candles or saying the rosary. Many believe that only with a picture or statue of a saint in your home will bring favorable / lucky (for lack of a better word).
Perhaps that is the behavior that people idolitry idea.
It is a distinction without a difference.
Mary and the saints are immortal, blessed beings who reside in heaven and speak directly to God? Sounds like a god subsidiary anthropological by any reasonable definition. It's just a desire to remain formally "monotheistic" which requires that they are not expressly gods.
Well considering the first and second commandment prohibits this anyway .. Yes .. you are right.
Ask them to pray for you is as bad as the prayer for them. They are dead. They can not hear you.
Only prayers to God should be. God is the only one who can forgive sins. One must go through Christ to reach God.
The dead if they are saints or not can not help you in prayers.
Mary even found the need to have Christ as their savior.
To give Mary that is going against the first two commandments.
But I can not say anything. My church has done the same.
there is nothing wrong with asking the saints to pray for you. My grandmother is a saint too. The most obedient to God who is closer, probably, I guess it's the reasoning behind people having copies pray for you.
although it is probably a waste of time because they can communicate directly w / God and it is a sin to waste time? probably
Melanie, people gather outside a church and make a determination on the basis of misunderstandings. appears to be a human being, because the Americans do the same for other cultures.
What is worse is that instead of trying to learn more, we continue to build arguments and defenses that denigrates or further alienate others.
Another thing I find strange is that so many "born-again Christians," of which I am, I think the Catholic church is a sect that broke away from Christianity rather than the oldest form of Christianity that all other religions left. is an enigma.
very few non-Christians for Bible reading in the reference collection of Paul to pray with those who have fallen asleep. who think that reference is to the rear seat in place of the revered Baptist souls who have died.
People have to read the Bible and other religions DOCTRINES STUDY BEFORE MAKING JUDGMENTS, LEST YE BE JUDGE ALSO!
apologies for the screams ….
Because that is what is being said in his church who regularly leads obviously false witness against your neighbors. I think we should answer fully Misty, had a great quote from this past week. Stay strong and true.
oh yes and yes, you are right.
It does not bother me when they know better, but when they know better and chose to carry false wittiness against us anyway, I feel sad for them.
I mean that is one of the 10 commandments.
Peace be with you, and pray for them.
That is a Protestant thing, not an atheist. Talk to your fellow Christians. The demonizing destroy. I think every time we met the Baptist Catholic feels they are closer to God than the devil.
Yes you are right! NO Worship Idols and Saints! Other religions have been preaching this long before I was born and I am old enough to remember when Jesus was a child … just kidding. My mother is a conversion of the church and Penticostal that she was taught as a child. She is Catholic and is now understood that asking a saint or Mary to pray with you is not worshiping them. The Bible says that two or more are gathered … Well, if you're just asking for someone else is late to join you in prayer a kind of cult? I say NO!
What more is expected of you stupid uniformed cultists intolerant Protestant,
Martin Luther wrote the veneration of Mary is inscribed in the depths of the human heart
September 1522.
One of the oldest catacombs contains a drawing of the Madonna and child, dating from the second century
And the oldest known request to Mary. The Sub Tunm Paresidum goes back at least to 300 AD, which reads
We fly to your patronage O Holy Theotokosz not despise our request in our needs, but always offer all the dangers, if ever glorious and blessed Virgin 300 AD
Yes you are right! I answered myself, our fellow Catholics, and a thousand times, is the worship and intercession are not Catholics Worship God!
The Bible says there is one mediator between God and man
Everything stems from ignorance and is fertilized by the dedication to ignorance.
Yes, they are correct.
I might also add that claim to speak with the dead, when John 3:16 says that in eternal life.
stupidity and refusal to study the religion and understand it
Why you ask Mary to talk to God for you? is'n't the work of Jesus to care?
