Well, first of all, you must understand that the Catholic Church does not depend solely on Scripture either for definitions of doctrine or for a rule of faith. Quoting the Bible is fine, but it's not the bottom line. The idea that it
is, is a Protestant innovation which dates no earlier than the sixteenth century.
Add to that the various and often novel interpretations of that Bible which have been promulgated since Luther, and you can make the Bible say just about dern near anything.
Secondly, Can God have a mother? Certainly. God the
Son has a mother. God the
Father does not....and neither does God the Holy Spirit. That distinction has to be made. Mary occupies a very interesting place in human history---she is the daughter of God the Father, the mother of God the Son, and the spouse of God the Holy Spirit.
Thirdly, yes, I do believe you remain alive when you die. Your
body experiences physical death---but the part that makes up
you----your spirit, soul, whichever term you wish to use, does not. The instant you die, you end up in one of three places: heaven, hell, or purgatory, and you are very much alive in all three places.
I am aware of such concepts as "soul sleep" and other things, but they contradict both Scripture and Sacred Tradition. (If your soul "goes to sleep" until Judgement Day, then Moses and Elijah forgot to put out their "Do Not Disturb" signs, and the bellboy woke them up prematurely to go meet Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration.)
And finally, I would be extremely unlikely to believe anything posted in a site called "MaryWorship". The Catholic Church has stated over and over and over again that
Catholics DO NOT worship Mary. Let me say that again: Catholics do not worship Mary. Not now, not vefore Vatican II, not at any time in the past, not ever. You will find Protestant sources who say that we do; they are in error. You will also find off-the-wall
Catholic sources who say that we do; they are
also in error.
As I have recommended before: if you want to know what the Catholic Church teaches, then research sources which have been approved by the Catholic Church, and not what a lay Catholic tells you, not what a non-approved Catholic source tells you, not what a Protestant tells you, and certainly not what a professional bigot like Jack Chick or Bob Jones tells you.
And lastly, you cannot offend me by asking questions about things pertaining to Catholicism that you do not understand, if you are honestly trying to learn something. I will explain it until you understand it---even if you don't agree with it---if you truly want to know what we believe. If you're just coming along to goad the Catholics and stir up a little controversy for fun and profit, however, or if you're entering the discussion to convert somebody or to prove that I'm wrong and you're right......well, that's something else.
The bottom line is that my hope is for you to understand
what Catholics believe, and
why they believe that way. You don't have to believe it, you don't even have to accept it. You can choose to reject in it whole or in part. But you should at least
understand it.
May God's blessings be with you all today,
----Wols.
