    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    All the saints are alive. And it makes no difference. When you pray for your family you are acting as a mediator.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Do you pray for any of your loved ones or friends? That makes you a mediator pal. You are misreading the verse, but if you research it and understand the context, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well that’s your perspective. You think it’s over the top. Others think it’s totally fine. Hakuna matata. But what you haven’t established is that it amounts to worship. I think the judge will uphold my objection. Have a good one though.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well that was quite amusing. Quote one Bible verse, state "I win" and bow out of the discussion. Certainly a flawless victory if I have ever seen one. The denarius is eternal life. You know plenty well that the parable appears in the context of a discussion concerning eternal life, and that the...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Sure, but you have thanked a friend for praying for you. Giving thanks or expressing appreciation is a form of praise.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well again, let's say that you ask a friend to pray for you. Your friend prays to God for you. Does that not make your friend a mediator between God and you? Is your friend not interceding on your behalf? Does St. Paul intend to exclude your friend praying for you? There are different ways of...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well, cheers to you for taking each and every one of my words so literally. Now if we could only do the same for "This is my body". But I digress. Thank you posting the verses. There is nothing in those verses that teaches that all rewards in heaven are equal, if that was the point that you...

    That does not logically conclude.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    That's funny. The bonus is mentioned right there in the Bible next to the verse about his 401k match. The question is, is the gift (and reward) of salvation ("going to heaven" if you will), the only reward? I had thought that most Protestants held that there were at least "5 crowns" and other...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well regardless of what the Church formally teaches, Catholics "really" worship Mary anyway just because I say so.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well by writing things like "Mary was the mother of Jesus's humanity" and "Jesus is 100% human because Mary, Jesus is 100% God because God." you appear to indicate a sharp distinction between divine and human aspects of the incarnation. This is Nestorian. It is in direct contradiction to the...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well all of Protestantism has the appearance of evil, from my perspective. Look, from your perspective you see evil in Catholicism. I do not see evil in the Catholic faith, and I see evil in Protestantism. So either me or you simply stating things like "If there is evil you must abstain" doesn't...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Sure, but what about the bonus? If the employer decides to hand out a bonus, would it be just for him to give it to the worker who was hired at nine, or to the worker who was hired at five?

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    That sounds like a good start. Would you like to become Catholic?

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    That's nice. But again, practically nobody in the 2000 year history of Christendom has interpreted that phrase to mean that "Mary was made like God by giving birth to Jesus". As for "Mary was the mother of Jesus's humanity" if you want to adopt a Nestorian Christology that's up to you, I...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    I really don’t see why so many people object to “Mother of God.” Jesus is God. Mary is Jesus’s mother. Thus Mary is the mother of God. “Just stating the facts,” no? Practically nobody in the 2000 year history of Christendom has ever interpreted that phrase to mean that Mary created God, or that...

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Mary is the mother of Jesus, no? And Jesus is God. I think you can put 2 and 2 together from there.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    Well I think she deserves a little credit. She said yes to God’s call. She did not have to. But since we are playing semantics now the next time someone objects to a Catholic song I’ll just say “just stating the facts folks”.

    A hymn that actually worships Mary as God

    If you have ever asked someone to pray for you, and he did, that person mediated for you. Sorry to break the bad news to you. I suggest you look into the meaning of the verse in Timothy a bit further.

    Are all rewards in Heaven equal?
