Can Roman Catholics point to scripture where it states that I must pray to Mary?

catholic 'church' was hiding bible from people for hundreds of years.

Nothing more evil then latin!

Thanks to Martin Luther, the roman Catholics even have their bible to read at anytime.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

Exactly. It doesn't say that anywhere. Mary was just a human. Why would I pray to her instead of to God or his Son who is my savior?

Heretic Translation... True translation from Greek

Luke 11:27-29 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)

27 And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifting up her voice, said to him: Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the paps that gave thee suck.

28 But he said: Yea rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.

:ohlook:

Translation.... Yes Blessed is the womb that bore me but think rather that bleesed are they who hear the word of God and keep it.. no rebuke. God cannot break his command to honor thy father and mother.. Jesus loves his mother and is with her right now while you insult her lol,, you crazy

Exactly, rather you are blessed for hearing the word of God and doing it. Not blessed for worshipping Mary for Mary is dead and waiting to be resurrected as all of those that died in Christ

Where in scripture does it say Mary is with Jesus right now at this moment

Btw God calls many people blessed in scripture yet that does not mean we pray to them.

I think any protestant would agree she was blessed.

Kudos for finding a verse, but I think the OP is yet unsatiated. Question still stands.

God is the Boss anything else is fake news!

This coming from snake handling speaking in fake tongues protestants. LOL!

There’s nothing that says you must... but also, Catholics don’t pray to Mary, they are asking Mary to pray for us. The most common prayers are the Hail Mary and the Magnificat:

These prayers can be found in the bible:
The greeting of Elizabeth to Mary and
The greeting of the Angel Gabriel to Mary

Hail Mary:

Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed are you among women
and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus
Holy Mary mother of God
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death, Amen

Note the last line is asking Mary to pray for us...
These lines are comprised of the greetings to Mary in the bible here:

Luke 1:26-29 Greeting of Angel Gabriel
Luke 1:39-46 Greeting of Elizabeth

The Magnificat follows the Greeting of Elizabeth in the bible:
Luke I:46-56

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on his humble servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed,
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear Him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the humble.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever.
Amen, Alleluia.

In this canticle that Mary sings, the lines state that “all generations shall call me blessed” which is what people do when they recite the “Hail Mary”. It says that Mary is glorified through God. She reminds us that God is merciful.

The Rosary is comprised of the Apostles Creed, the Hail Mary, and the Our Father

The Our Father is found in scripture: Mathew 6:9 where the disciples ask Jesus how we should pray, it is the prayer that Jesus recommends

So the most common prayers about Mary are all biblical scriptures. The scripture that shows that it is appropriate to address Mary are at the Wedding at Cana, (John 2:1-11) Jesus respects his mother’s wish to perform a miracle giving the bride and groom more wine by changing water into wine even though it is “not yet his time” to reveal himself. This shows that Jesus listens to his mothers wishes as a powerful intercessor for human’s basic needs.

So Catholics are asking Mary to intercede for us to Jesus, not answer the prayers herself.

Where in scripture does it say all you have to do is read scripture?

Jesus didnt leave us a bible he left us a Church. The Bible came much later provided by that very same Church.

Jesus didnt ascend into heaven and say alright your dismissed until 2019 when I will send some dude to GLP who has it all figured out lol

Almost immediately after declaring his church would be built on the rock of Peter, Christ rebuked him, saying "get behind me satan".

To this day they still believe their earthly leader is an intercessor for men, when Christ made it very clear it was him and him only.

Don’t they have their own bible? Which is a problem in itself. Adding to it, or taking away from Gods Word will add all the plagues or take away your name out of the book of life. Revelation 22:19

religion needs to be banned it leads to nothing but argument war and strife!


LETS FACE IT NO ONE KNOWS WHO OR WHAT THE FUCK WE ARE OR WHAT WERE DOING HERE OR HOW WE GOT HERE OR WHERE ITS GOING!

But if God is there ITS TIME TO POP IN AND CHECK THE FUCKING GARDEN!

"you asked where scripture said to address (pray to ) Mary... I showed you" ...

No you didn't.

Point to the passage where it says the scriptures are the sole source of authority for Christian faith and practice.

Never know the hour

Leviticus 26:1
"Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the Lord your God."

why catholics are worshiping idols?

mary is dead, you should not pray to dead people, unless you are a witch

I agree with you about religion. But you are not showing Christ in your life and words you say. You say "God" and "F**ing" in same sentence.

The next question you are going to have is “why the repetition?” The scripture Protesants commonly cite is the one about the preacher on the corner. But Jesus says not to pray with “empty” repetition, and also not in order to be seen by others so as to be highly regarded by others. Matthew 6:5

But if a person is praying with their heart as they pray and is praying in a group because “where two or more are gathered” Matthew 18:20... Jesus is there, then there is nothing wrong with it. We are called to “pray without ceasing” 1 Thessalonians 5:17 and the angels also serve God “day and night”

Jesus also tells us to be persistent: Parable of the persistent Widow Luke 18:1-8

"Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."

It’s not worship, and Mary is not “dead” she is more alive than we are. God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is “not God not of the dead, but of the living” (Matt. 22:32; see also 22:23-33).

“Sometimes Fundamentalists object to asking our fellow Christians in heaven to pray for us by declaring that God has forbidden contact with the dead in passages such as Deuteronomy 18:10–11. In fact, he has not, because he at times has given it—for example, when he had Moses and Elijah appear with Christ to the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matt. 17:3). What God has forbidden is the necromantic practice of conjuring up spirits. “There shall not be found among you any one who . . . practices divination, a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or a medium, or a wizard, or a necromancer. . . . For these nations, which you are about to dispossess, give heed to soothsayers and to diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not allowed you so to do. The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brethren—him you shall heed” (Deut. 18:10–15).

God thus indicates that one is not to conjure the dead for purposes of gaining information; one is to look to God’s prophets instead. Thus, one is not to hold a seance. But anyone with an ounce of common sense can discern the vast qualitative difference between holding a seance to have the dead speak through you and a son humbly saying at his mother’s grave, “Mom, please pray to Jesus for me; I’m having a real problem right now.””

What else you got for me that you could just look up yourself instead of perpetuating ignorant nonsense misconceptions?

Oh well!

i don't think i ever gave 2 fucks about you?

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

mary is dead, and she is not a God. Jesus is the only way, not mary, not catholics, not religion, not idol worshiping. why catholics have an image and statues of "mary"? they are worshiping that image. She is just a human like everyone else.

Are you worshiping your earthly mother when you ask her to pray for you? See protestants ask each other to pray for each other ALL THE TIME... why are you so blind sighted? Why so much hatred in your heart, why the hypocrisy?
