Remember ONLY CHRIST SAVES Sorry Douay I have to say I'm with Tyler on this one because I don't believe in things such as saying Hail Marys or anything but I would like to understand it. Douay could you tell me where I could find scripture on purgatory so I can look them up and read them for my own knowledge. I honestly believe that Mary has been used by the world to take our eyes off of Jesus. I also believe God is guiding His church by the moving of the Holy Spirit, I have no doubt that God uses people in many ways because I have experienced Him moving in my life as well as watching Him move in the lives of my family and friends but not by someone other than Jesus to pray to. It is all about Jesus, not Mary. But I have a feeling I have entered a debate between opposing forces LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says that he doesn't hate Catholics just the Catholic church and its teachings, the Catholic church is a living breathing organ, there is no separating Catholics from the Catholic church. Therefore if you hate the Cathlic church you hate Catholics. It is most certainly not Christian charity that flows from his fingers. So what I am saying, is that if you want answers about Catholic teachings, ask Catholics, not Catholic hating, bias people. Ask your questions to me, whatever they be, via email. Dominus Vobiscum!

Is that what you were really taught, or are you being facetious? When you are reading your bible, are you praying to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sybil Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 As I read this thread, I feel nauseated. The Rosary is a prayer for all denominations. How is contemplating the suffering, death and rising from the tomb of our Dear Lord wrong? How is readiing the Holy Scriptures telling of Jesus' baptism in the Jordan, His miricles, His ministry wrong? His asencion into heaven, His very birth, the angel came and told Mary, she would be the Mother of Immanuel, He was concieved of the Holy Spirit. Mary asked Jesus to get them some more wine, when they ran out at the wedding in Cana. I know this is all mixed up, but, I can't believe what I've read here. Tyler, I don't dare ask what your motives are. If anyone does not want to pray, simply don't. I would not want to sit before Jesus and account for dismissing and hating His Mother. If any of you believe she was just an ordinary girl, you are wrong. She was chosen from the line of David to be His own Mother. I talk to people from many denominations of Christianity and Jewish people as well, daily. Never have I seen or heard such coniving intolerance and hatred. God forbid you use His word as a weapon. His Mother? What are you thinking? Read the Holy scriptures. Don't attack without thorough knowledge. You all better start reading Proverbs first. Nobody's making you pray the Rosary. So, pray for yourself. Wake up, and if you consider someone your enemy, pray for him. Bless those who curse you. sigh, which is what I shall do now. Glory be!

Let's try to stay on the topic presented by Tyler and respond according to the facts in a manner worthy of our calling. I hate being a "Forum policeman." Please, let's not make me pull the thread for good. Grace, ~G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when men thought they were "like gods" (Gen 3:5) the true God surprised humans by performing a miracle where the Rosary is involved: Eight jesuits survive the Hiroshima nuke because they were praying the Rosary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now how about something that can be verified? I caught a glimpse of the Weekly World News at the local Wal-Mart checkout line the other day. It shows a picture of the Virgin Mary appearing in the women's section of a JC Penny. Do you believe this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
