@NorwoodChicago@Timmerie Lol are you serious? An angel appears to Joseph and tells him to take Mary as his wife even though she is pregnant and the baby is not his yet he does. When the Lord appears to Joseph in dreams Joseph does as God commands. Joseph obeys just as Mary does.
@NorwoodChicago@Timmerie I have not read the whole Bible but Mary is mentioned very little in what I have read and even less about her faith. I see the extra sources you use but you said the Bible made it very clear so I’m confused about that.
@NorwoodChicago@Timmerie Do you know what Bible verse that is? I know Jesus says the Roman centurion who asks for his soldier to be healed is the greatest faith he has ever seen but I have never read a Bible verse that Mary’s faith is the greatest.
@Momof8Wifeof1@Timmerie Did Jesus ever pray to saints in the Bible to pray for him or did he pray to only God for his help? I don’t find any evidence of him praying to earlier saints for prayer. Is that information found only in catholic history documents?
@NorwoodChicago@Timmerie So Mary’s faith is greater than everyone else’s? Faith with out works is dead and works without faith is dead. James 2:20 and 26. Is God not our God once we are dead you did not answer the question? You said God is only God of the living
@NorwoodChicago@Timmerie So once we are dead God is not our God anymore? Do we become our own God after death? So you want Mary to pray for you because she watched her son die? God used her just like he used the disciples and many more to do great acts in his name.
@Momof8Wifeof1@Timmerie Ok, well I understand coming together as living souls/fellow believers and praying but I have just never heard of asking a dead person to pray for us. Think that is where my confusion is - would it be the same to ask a deceased pastor/family member or other biblical figure ?
@MicahhParsons11 Life of a marine who was serving our country should be prioritized over that of a basketball player who was ignorant to the laws or did not care. This country has its logic way out of order.
