[quote:Anonymous Coward 70175159:MV80MTgwNTQ1Xzc2MDA3MzU1X0QxMDFDMDFB] [quote:Anonymous Coward 70317017:MV80MTgwNTQ1Xzc2MDA2MTAxXzEwMjM0MzRE] This whole "Virgin Mary" nonsense is leading people astray at an alarming rate. They pray to Mary, not God. They worship Mary, not God. They ask Mary to pray for the souls of the dead, when they should know the Bible clearly states to not pray for the dead because once you are dead, God is in complete control of your soul then, not you or not some other dead person that can veto or overwrite God.... And more and more and more..... It's all part of this "Feminine spirit" uprising. Some people call it the Jezzabel spirit, probably a bad name for it since it encompasses way more than what we knew about Jezzy. We are seeing it unfold right in front of our eyes, as the "Virgin Mary" appears, we see the rise of radical, crazed "feminists", that are not feminist at all. We see the blurring of the lines between "male and female" just like this "apparition" appearing as a female when it is obviously not. We see the demolition of demonstrable and provable scientific data showing the differences between male and female and are brainwashed into believing "Men can have babies too, and there is no difference between men and women, you can be whatever you want!"........... All while the "Virgin Mary" makes herself known and more of this follows..it's so obvious a blind man could see it.... and the list goes on and on and on....but those with eyes to see and ears to hear know whats going on, and those Catholics that were brainwashed will just argue and argue against it without putting any thought into it at all. [/quote] Thanks be to God that He has allowed the Blessed Virgin Mary to lead people to Him at such an “alarming rate”. Thanks be to God for allowing Her to appear to her earthy children, at times of special need throughout history, with words or warning and instruction. Who are any earthly creatures to reject Her Whom God Himself chose to need? What will the writers of such vile comments about Her have to say for themselves when they stand before the Son of Mary? Mary was a human being—exalted by God, but nevertheless a totally human woman—who, after living a sinless life of love, service and sacrifice, is a saint in Heaven. She always points us to Her Son, never herself (see the Canticle of Mary from the Gospel of St. Luke). Prayers addressed to the Blessed Mother are mainly requests for her intercession, just as people would ask family members or friends to pray for them; the difference is that Mary already beholds the Face of God, and she has the ear of a her Son like no other, the same way a Queen Mother had the ear of the King in biblical times. At issue seems to be different understandings about a soul’s individual judgment and life after death. There are multiple scripture references that support prayer for the dead, but to accept that prayer for the dead is beneficial is to be forced to accept the existence of a state of purification after death. Martin Luther excised 2 Maccabees (along with 6 other Books) because it explicitly favored prayers for the dead, and supported the concept of Purgatory. Until the Reformation, all Christians—who were either Catholic or Orthodox—believed in the doctrine of Purgatory, the intercessory power of the Blessed Virgin Mary, personal judgment at the moment of death, and the completeness of the 73-Book Bible as the inspired Word of God...so the onus is on Protestants to prove that these things are not true.
