I think my post #225 has answered this question.

I do not think that anybody has mentioned anywhere that she is God. No, she is not God and therefore not omnipresent. Have you considered the way prayer works? Have you considered why St Paul was always asking his converts to pray for him and his fellow workers in the vineyard of God? Unity...

Yea! giving it back to them in their own language! love it!

.Very true. The written word of the bible is not and cannot be the only source of God's word to the Church when scripture says otherwise. St Paul was very clear in this issue. He pointed at two sources. St John did the same too. As I said in my earlier post, it behoves on us to test every...

Context or no context, scripture must be interpreted correctly.

You are missing the point 100%. You may have to reread the post to understand what was said especially paragraph 2,3,4. They answered any questions you may raise on bible verses regarding this topic. What John and Paul said are written in the bible unless you are turning the bible into human...

No she is not God. She can intercede in prayers for everyone. Just the way we intercede in prayers for one another. There is a huge difference though. While we are still struggling and striving to grow in grace, she was noted to be full of grace, blessed and highly favored. We are...

The reason why we do not need to interpret scripture purely by the letter sometimes. He was noted to be righteous when scripture says no one was righteous. not even one person.

You can read my response to @Evmur on post#174. There is no need for a verse in the bible.

The question asked is not to whom you pray to. You can check my post again.

Far from the bible!!

First I must say that the opinion I expressed is my personal opinion and has nothing to do with RCC. Just for the records It is permitted between husband and wife

Are you sure your interpretation is right? I doubt. When scripture says there is no one righteous not even a single person when we know that Abraham was noted to be righteous in same scripture. It behoves on us to understand what the scripture is really saying.

Do you pray for others or request others to pray for you? if you do, why cant we request for prayers from her too? Even Paul always asked his converts to pray for him. At least we know, unlike us, she was testified to be full of grace and did intercede for people at the wedding at Cana and her...

To you according to your belief

Myth? Fairy tale? I do not think we should call it that. St John tells us that there were many things Jesus did/said which were not recorded in the scriptures. We are talking about things done more than 2000 years ago. I think people might have talked about these unwritten things for a long...

Thanks for the link. I must confess it is too long and the English is too big for me to understand all . But it kind of confirmed my thoughts. @Evmur said and I quote " if they suppose that Mary had to be immaculate in order to conceive Christ then all of Mary's line would of necessity...

Well, to each according to his belief. I know that the explanation he has given does not agree with the meaning the Roman Catholic attaches to Mary's immaculate conception. If his source is the Catholic official source, let him quote it; we can then discuss it further. Remain blessed.

ok. no qualms. But I do not think your agreeing with him makes his belief absolutely right.

Are you really sure this James was a blood brother of Jesus? I think by James you must have meant the son of Alphaeus, who was one of the Apostles. I could not really find in the scripture where it was stated he was of the same mother and father with Jesus. Even the genealogy of Jesus in...
