Catholicism: You can pray to saints and Mary?
I am in a debate yesterday with the Baptist, in my opinion seems to be very anti-Catholic religion.Everything told me he said I was taking the Bible out of context and misinterpreting everything
The Bible says in Psalm 103, which read, "Bless the Lord, oh to his angels, that the powerful make his word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his will! "
Also, "See that no one of these, to tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:10). Therefore, we can pray to the saints and the prayer Ave Maria mary.The is written in the Bible apart from the majority of Catholics to pray directly to Mary god.I have prayed ones or twice and I think that in any my life I've prayed to the saints.
- Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints and Bow Before Statues?
- Catholics. Why pray to Mary? She is dead. Do you not think that God must be the only one Praying For You?
- Christians pray to the saints and the Virgin Mary?
- Culto do Catholics pray to Mary and the Saints?
- Why do Catholics pray to the Virgin Mary and other saints When God is the only one who can help U?
You know what? I also have this debate with non-Catholics. After patiently explaining that "prayer" and "worship" are not synonymous, the prayer of the Rosary are not "pointless", saying the scriptures, etc, only to find that I have been banging my head against a wall of prejudice reflection and anti-Catholics who insist the sky is green (and the Scripture to find that one!) when a Catholic says that blue is finally discovered something very important:
My prayer life is, emphatically, none of their business.
If you want to pray the rosary, or ask a saint to pray for me, or I use many of the wonderful prayers of the Church, or simply kneel and talk to God from the heart "is not something we have right or invitation to criticism. Speaking, our personal habits of prayer are not "matters of salvation." I never think about any other grilled about Christian prayer, with a list of scriptures in hand to see if it is done properly.
I found a wonderful little phrase that tends to work well in many of these situations: "I'm sorry you feel that way, but I disagree. Perhaps it is best to leave it at that. "
There is a time for apologetics and defending the faith and a time to draw the line. This is where I have drawn.
Christians judging their fellow Christians?
Any Christian has asked others to pray for help or pray with them?
Catholics do not pray to Mother Mary or the saints … which is what we ask her intercession.
James 5:16 (New International Version)
16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The prayer of a just man is powerful and effective.
ARE NOT THE MOTHER MARIA, angels and saints, just enough to pray for us?
If we pray to Mary and the saints to ask them to pray for us and especially in times of need. is like asking your family and friends here on earth to pray for you. We, as our heavenly family in heaven to pray for us.
All true Marian devotion is centered in Christ.
I believe that anyone can pray to the saints and Mary, but not Catholics.
Pray that Jesus, like other Christians.
Yes, the Baptist and other Christians that the Bible is so ignorant and do not even seem to know that the Church was around hundreds of years before he compiled the Bible, always try to tell you that you are misinterpreting the Bible. Are misinterpreting the Bible. The next time you ask how old is your religion, all we can say is five years, because it was not made by Jesus. And if he says something else to say that we have a continuous line of Jesus with the current pope. I would, however, that you pray to Mary and the saints more. Mary is much more than Catholics realize.
1. She is the queen of heaven and earth (Revelation)
2. She is the mother of his spiritual life (which is why Protestants do not have to hate peace to women who can help directly to them)
3. She is the greatest intercessor before God.
4. She is the Mediatrix of all graces, so that anything that God gives to man, all the grace, money, food etc, comes through the hands of Mary.
They define the dogma of the Catholic Church, however, almost all Catholics and so we ignore these problems.
Please understand that Catholicism is a religion is a denomination of Christianity. Praying to Mary or the saints is not acceptable that only those who deliver themselves to God and do what they do not. Who have made their doctrine that God likes certain things and you do not like certain things. They know all those things. They know better than God about their likes and dislikes.
God always works through men. If he did not want to bring glory to his saints, then there would be a direct interaction with humans. But always the option of some holy men to work for him and it is our responsibility to give reverence to them. It is true that God hears the prayers of his saints very quickly. When we pray to a saint or Mary, who takes our prayers to God. They are also powerful for us to respond, as they are elected. God honors them and their prayers. But some Christians do not bow to factions that they are absorbing anger on them. God will not honor anyone who dishonors his saints. "He who receives you, receives me and he who receives me, receives Him who sent Me" These words of Jesus tells us how much it is important to honor those who lived their lives only for God.
You can pray to Mary and the saints.
Protestants always an "either / or" in which Catholics adopt a "both / and" approach. Do not pray to Mary or of God, pray for both. Catholics go to God with our requests and we went to Mary and the saints as well as requests. We ask that we pray to God. Ask your friend if he has never asked anyone to pray for him, this is intercession. He is asking for another member of the Body of Christ to petition God on their behalf, we are doing nothing more or less asking Mary and the saints to pray for us. Are no longer here on earth, but they remain members of the Body of Christ with us and no doubt able to pray for us.
He can say that the Bible forbids talking to the dead in Deuteronomy 18:10-11, but this is a misunderstanding and a way of picking verses to suit their position. In Deuteronomy, God states that one is not to conjure the dead for the purpose of obtaining information, is a look at the prophets of God instead. Therefore it is not a hold a SÉANCE. But anyone with an ounce of common sense can discern the vast qualitative difference between holding a SÉANCE for the dead to speak through a child and says humbly at the grave of his mother, "Mom, please pray Jesus to me, I'm having a real problem at this time. "The difference between the two is the difference between day and night. One is an occult practice bent on getting secret information, and the other is a humble request for a loved one to pray to God on their behalf.
There's nowhere in the Bible that prohibits the intercession of Mary and the saints. Mary and the saints are not dead, but alive in Christ. Were true disciples of the Lord, and of course enjoying the eternal life promised.
Her friend comes from a Baptist faith that has brought the Bible as the foundation of faith, but it is a false doctrine. The Bible itself does not support this theory. He wants everything to be explained in the chapter and verse in the Bible, or who said his unbiblical. This is not true. Note that there is no mention of the Trinity in the Bible, where there is no mention of the practice of prayer to the Holy Spirit, these are things we believe and what they are not specifically biblical, but it can be supported by Scripture . Praying to Mary and the Saints can be supported in the same way.
Protestants often site the verse "there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 2:5. Christ is the only mediator between man and God, because it is the only person who is God and man. He is the only bridge between the two, the only God-man. But this role of mediator is not compromised in the slightest by the fact that others intercede for us. Moreover, Christ is the only mediator between God and man because he is the Mediator of the New Covenant (Hebrews 9:15, 12:24), just as Moses was the mediator (Greek tables) of the Old Covenant (Galatians 3: 19-20).
The intercession of Christians-which is what the saints in heaven are-also clearly does not interfere with Christ's unique mediatorship because in the four verses immediately preceding 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul says that Christians should be interconnected: First, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be for all men, for kings and all those in high positions, so that we may lead a quiet life, godly and respectful in meaningless. This is good and pleasing to God our Savior, who desires all men be saved and come to the knowledge of truth "(1 Tim. 2:1-4). Clearly then, intercessory prayers offered by Christians on behalf of others is something "good and pleasing to God," is not something that violates the role of Christ as mediator.
Do not forget that all the Catholics do and believe can be supported in Scripture. Nothing we do is against the scriptures. Everything is not explicitly written, somethings are implicit in writing and must be considered as a whole and part of God's plan of salvation that was exposed before the world was created.

I am not worthy Lord, This sentence is in the Bible and when we pray for the help of Mary and the saints, we are not worthy to approach God directly. we are there to get the help of Mary and the saints to intercede for us. I asked for the prayers of many people that make you think that Our Blessed Mother Mary and the saints in good favor with God does not oblige us with your requests to Jesus for us. I am happy that I have these friends there for me to connect. His prayers would be much more powerful when you have more people praying for the same thing for you. And worship is not to say that you my fellow Christians do the same when you ask for the prayers of his fellow members of his own church. God bless.
DO NOT pray to saints and Mary, who is a leading lie.That Psalm is NOT pray to saints and mary.Read Psalm 51, which is a prayer psalm.Psalm 105 is a song.http: / / http://www.whateverycatholicshouldknow . … c
To keep the prayer of Christ, but the entire world, you never have been saved that way.Satan religious bondage.
Read Romans 10:9-10
Jesus, man / God is to be intercessor between the two.
Prayer to Mary is a dilution of who Jesus is, - or an exaggeration of the same?
God puts a great deal about the work of Jesus - and he is our priest reason that on our behalf to the throne of God with his own blood.
Why pray to any faithful servant (Mary)? Jesus is one available or do not want to hear us?
