The Not Listening Excuse...

[benedictaoo]

Who did I accuse? I just asked if that image of those people bowing to that statue in prayer was idolatorus? I didn't name names or accuse anyone.

Now you aren't being truthful. You spent a lot of energy trying to convince us that we need to just trust God (as if we don't)

I will confess that I am guilty sometimes of just summarizing what they are saying and not respond sentence to sentence.. I am working on that..

btw here is some evidence that what your doing with Mary is Idolatry

you believe Mary is in heaven correct?(I personally believe shes in paradise which is spiritually connected to the center of the earth but thats another topic)

8'(I)You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth.
9'You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, (J)visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me

I do not believe that it is only the Catholics that pray to Mary are they? I believe that others do also. I know that I use to work for a lady that was not Catholic that also did this. I cannot remember what she was.

GT forum- the who and the what
1. All members wearing a Christian icon (list here) are permitted to post.
2. Discussion topic diversity is essential.
3. All Theology topics are permitted provided that they are consistent with the CF site wide rules here and the theology FSGs here.
4. All members must understand that GT is a debate forum where all points of views may be challenged.
5. Members that do not wish to have their points of view challenged should not post in GT but post in the congregational forums.
6. All members need to understand that this forum is NOT a theological safe heaven for any one denomination. Those members that prefer to discuss within their denomination's theology must post in their respective congregational forum.
7. GT does not endorse nor promote any one denomination over another and considers all of its members as equals. (Basis for moderation)

just in case you missed it

you claimed that being able to debate your point of view was not a part of the guidelines so here is some PROOF that you are wrong

can you accept it?

I can accept it and wait 5 minutes and those rules will change to.

 

[MamaZ]

Any way back to the listening part..

So If I say I truly do love my neighbors and some one has a picture of me slugging my neighbor in the eye would someone listen to what I said and believe it to be true?

I am being truthful and I'm glad you read my counter argument. It is true that I believe we should just trust God and not pray to creatures.

I spent time on my position. Which was what I was supposed to do.

That isn't accusatory at all. I didn't name names it was a universal position that includes everyone. I honestly do think we should all just trust God.

You see? I wasn't attacking anyone. I was just defending my position. I honestly do apologize for keeping it up so long and keeping you around until 2:30 arguing with me however.

And here is the idiocy in that, if you have a picture of anyone who died, then you are a idol worshipper.

and we do not worship Mary or the statue

are you listing?

so your claiming gods commandment is idiocy now?

and a picture is hardly the same thing and you know it

your trying to find holes now instead of looking at this objectively

 

[&Abel]

the Mary Statue is meant as a representation of someone in heaven

a picture of your family member is a memory trapped in time

very different

Why the heck is this thread contineing to harp on the Mary

 

[DD2008]

So, is anyone listening to the Mod?

We probably should. It's good practice.

 

[&Abel]

even a statue made in honor of someone is different

but you believe that the Mary Statue has spiritual significance in itself do you not?

I Didn't see the Mod's post
