Why are the Catholics who Sains and Mother Mary Interc for us when God's Word says that Jesus said?
No man can come to the Father except through me. Jesus is the way the truth and light, and the only way to heaven is Jesus. The saints in heaven are only saved by the grace of God and becaue God sent His Son to die for them. Jesus is our interceeder and interceeds our behalf.We do not need anyone interceeding for us, if the event that anyone would go to heaven, as it does not deserve either. Jesus is the only one who is able to do so, and that God listens to your Son and according to him above all as the Father and the Son are one in likness.
- Why do Catholics pray to Mary, Mother of Jesus, Jesus never said much, nor was she part of the Trinity, so why?
- Why do Catholics pray to Mary and the saints and Bow Before Statues?
- Some Catholics may Tell me why a place of worship of Mary Mother of Jesus?
- — How can Catholics that Mary Mediatrix of God when the Bible says that Jesus is the only God?
- Why the Catholic Church professes that St. Mary, Mother of Jesus was a "never" Virgin?
It is not Christian, but …
God does what he wants, right? Whether or not to pray, God will make his decision. If they say it will act only if praying, then there is no need for others to pray for you. The words of Mary or the saints are not called anything. God does not work by the number of people who are praying for something, but by the kindness and passion of the first sentence it is.
All else is nonsense. Read the Bible, if you will believe in it.
To intercede for every time someone says a prayer for them. If Jesus meant that no one can act as an advocate, would be a sin to pray for another human being. We specifically from the book of revelation that the 24 elders around the throne offered the prayers of the saints of God. If that is not advocacy, then I do not know what it is.
"coming to the Father" is not advocacy, is mediation. This means that anyone can enter the presence of the Father in heaven unless one is a follower of Jesus Christ.
The wedding feast of Canna is an excellent example of Mary interceeding on behalf of the married couple.
It is true that we do not have to ask Mary and the saints to pray for us, but it is something that people do when they need help. They ask friends and family to pray for them. is something that God has wired in our psychological make up - the need of the community. Catholics consider Mary and the saints, as part of "friends and family"
Jesus' sacrifice on Calvary is the source of all grace and power, so that whatever is done by the people of God is possible through Jesus and through you, alone.
Catholics understand much more than just the Bible reveals, because their source of divine revelation of the Bible, in addition to the oral teachings of Jesus and the apostles, in addition to the active influence of God in the management of all church affairs, since the early days.
Besides, there is no biblical precedent strong personal intercession throughout the Old and New Testaments.
Moses and Samuel and certainly very effectively interceeded to God for the people.
The traditional role of the Queen Mother of the house of David was defined during the reign of King Solomon as an intercessor for the people.
Jesus is the eternal king of the house of David. Mary is his mother. As the Queen Mother of the house of David, their roles are clear … to interconnect with his son, King, for the needs of the population.
Is not that what modern protetsants … despite all the early Protestant reformers clearly understand Mary's special role ordained by God in the Church.
the danger of electing a verse or a couple of verses to prove a point you can see from the 28,000 different Protestant denominations.
some would say of the Scriptures that Jesus was not divine, the use of some commas. others say it is only a prophet, some say we do not need so …………… church and thousands of others of the same Scripture says otherwise. to put into context the Scripture is not opposed to Catholic teaching. Do you ask your pastor to pray for you? your family or friends? that is not the same, is not this intercession? Why ask your pastor, family or friends to pray for you if you need only ask Jesus? back to all local authorities have a lot of detail and so if you are interested in these sites to try to understand the Catholic position is that Catholics do not believe in something that really is not a Catholic person (s) or source that has given

+ + The intercessory prayer
Jesus is our one and only mediator. Intercession is different.
"Teach us to pray," he told the disciples of Jesus. (Luke 11, 1)
Jesus responded by teaching them the prayer we call the Our Father or the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done on earth as in heaven.
Giving USA this day our daily bread.
Forgive us our trespasses U.S.
as we forgive those who trespass against USA.
U.S. and lead not into temptation,
but deliver U.S. evil.
In the second part of the Lord's Prayer, Jesus teaches us that intercessory prayer we pray for ourselves and others (us, our).
Christians pray for others and the world is intercessory prayer and is accepted and practiced by all Christan denominations (that I know of).
Santos + +
Before Jesus Christ died for our sins and opened the gates of heaven there are no saints in heaven. Therefore, there is no written mention of the Old Testament.
Very few of the new Christians died before most of the New Testament was written. Therefore there is little in the Bible about asking saints to pray for us.
However, the last book of the Bible does not speak of the saints in heaven praying.
Revelation 5:8: Each of the elders held a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 8:3-4: He was given a large quantity of incense to offer, along with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of incense with the prayers of the saints ascended before God from the angel's hand.
The Holy Spirit guided the early Church in many things not explained in the Bible including the manner in which the Body of Christ (believers) living on Earth relate to the Body of Christ (saints) living in the sky . We are still one Body.
We share the view of Catholics in the Communion of Saints with many other Christians, including Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Episcopal and Methodist Churches.
The Communion of Saints is the belief that all saints are intimately related in the Body of Christ, a family. When it dies and goes to heaven, do not let this family.
Everyone in heaven or on their way to heaven are saints, you, me, my deceased grandmother, Mary, the mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and Pope John Paul II.
As part of this family, you can ask your family and friends living here on earth to pray for you. Or, you can also ask the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Andrew, or your deceased grandmother living in heaven to pray for you.
Prayer to the saints in heaven is simple communication, not worship.
+ With love in Christ.
Veneration / Honor de los Santos
Matt. 18:10 - the angels in heaven always behold the face of God. We revere for its great dignity and union with God.
Matt. 15:4, Luke 18:20, Eph. 6:2-3 Exodus 20:12, Lev. 19:3, Deut. 5:16 - was commissioned to honor our father and mother.
Luke 1:28 - worships the angel Gabriel to Mary to declare his "Hail full of grace." The angel heavenly honors human Mary, for her perfection of grace is superior to the angels.
Romans 13:7 - let's give the honor to be honored. When we honor the sons of God, honor God, He is the source of all honor.
1 Cor. 4:16 - the most important form of veneration of saints is "imitate" the saints, as Paul commands us to do.
To mediate specific instructions and examples of subordinates Mediation
James 5:16, Proverbs 15:8, 29 - the prayers of the righteous (the saints) have powerful effects. For this reason, we ask your prayers. How much more powerful are the saints in heaven prayers, in which justice has been perfected.
1 Tim 2:5-6 - therefore, it is because Jesus Christ is the only mediator before God that we can be subordinate mediators. Jesus is the reason. The Catholic position thus gives more glory to Jesus. He does everything but loves us so much He desires our participation.
Matt. 5:44-45 - Jesus tells us to pray for (to mediate on behalf of) those who persecute us. God teaches us to mediate.
Matt. 17:1-3, Mark 9:4, Luke 9:30-31 - Moses and Elijah appear late in the Transfiguration of Jesus in conversation with the presence of Peter, James and John (these may be the two "witnesses" John refers Rev. 11:3). Nothing in Scripture suggests that God never hates or short communication among those living in the sky and life on earth. On the contrary, God encourages communication within the communion of saints. Moses and Elijah appeared on the earth we also teach that the saints in heaven now with the ability to overcome our limitations in the earth.
Matt. 26:53 - Jesus said that He may call upon the assistance of twelve legions of angels. If Jesus said he could request assistance from the holy angel - and he obviously would not be adoring to do - so can we, who need their help much more than Jesus, and without engaging in idolatry. And, in Mat. 22:30, Jesus said it would be "like angels in heaven." This means human saints (as the angel saints) may be called upon to help people on earth. God allows and encourages interaction between family members.

John 2:11 - in fact it was the intercession of Mary, who began the ministry of Jesus. Its time had not yet arrived, but Jesus responds to the intercession of Mary. Although we could do it all by himself, God wants to work with their children.
Acts 12:7 - an angel strikes Peter in the face and wakes him up, releasing him from prison. The angel answered Pedro prayers.

Col. 4:4 - Paul commands the Colossians to pray for the elders of the church so that God may open a door to the floor. Why did not Paul just leave God? Due to the mediation of subordination is acceptable and pleasing to God, and brings a change in the world. This is as mysterious as the Incarnation, but it's true.
1 Thess. 5:11 - Paul charges to encourage one another and build one another in the body of Christ. We do as mediators in Christ.
1 Thess. 5:17 - Paul says "pray constantly." If Jesus role as mediator subordinately does not apply to us, why pray at all?
1 Thess. 5:25 - Paul commands of God's family to pray for the elders of the Church. He wants our subordinate mediation.

Rev. 1:4 - this verse shows that the angels (in this case, the seven spirits) to give the grace and peace. For the grace and peace comes only from God, the angels are acting as mediators for God.
Rev. 5:8 - the prayers of the saints (in heaven and earth) are presented to God by the angels and saints in heaven. This shows that the saints intercede for us before God, and also demonstrates that our prayers on earth are united with their prayers in heaven. (The "24 Elders" is said to refer to God's people - perhaps the 12 apostles and 12 tribes - and the "four living creatures" is said to refer to the angels.)
Rev. 6:9-11 - the holy martyrs in heaven a cry aloud to God to avenge their blood on those who dwell on earth. "These are" imprecatory prayers "that are grounds for view of God (see prayer in Psalm 35:1 similar; 59:1-17, 139:19, Jer. 11:20, 15:15, 18:19; Zech.1 :12-13). This means that the saints in heaven pray for those on earth, and God answered their prayers (Rev. 8:1-5). Therefore, asking her intercession and protection.
Rev. 8:3-4 - an angel in the sky blend of incense with the prayers of all saints on the golden altar before the throne of God, and the smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of the saints from the hand the angel before God.

1 Sam. 28:7, 1 Chron. 10:13-14 - Saul practiced necromancy. He used half, not God, to search for the dead and therefore doomed.

Why do you think the saints and the Mother Mary not intercede for us, when the word of God says to do? Http: / / http://www.scripturecatholic.com / saints. …
Hum ……… Good question! I suppose that most believe in God or Jesus mary ….. I'am still wondering where they came from the pope! Mary is, at least in the Bible! is a book somewhere in the pope?
Catholicism teaches that Jesus Christ, true God and true man, is the only and perfect mediator between God and man. The other members of the Body of Christ to join interceeding by him alone.
