Here's a short vid for those of you who have time on my conclusion on if we should pray to Mary as co-mediator or not.

You can ask anyone to pray for you like how they had asked others in the scriptures to blessed them. But the one that you have asked them to pray for you should have a sincere heart that truly care for you and whom God will listen to like how he has listened to Ishmael cries.

Job 16:17
yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.
Job 42:8
So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”

The shrine housed a statue reputed to have been carved by Luke the Evangelist and given to Saint Leander, archbishop of Seville, by Pope Gregory I. When Seville was taken by the Moors in 712, a group of priests fled northward and buried the statue in the hills near the Guadalupe River in Extremadura. According to local legends, at the beginning of the 14th century, the Virgin appeared one day to a humble cowboy named Gil Cordero who was searching for a missing animal in the mountains.[SUP][1][/SUP] Cordero claimed that the Virgin Mary had appeared to him and ordered him to ask priests to dig at the site of the apparition. Excavating priests rediscovered the hidden statue and built a small shrine around it which evolved into the great Guadalupe monastery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Guadalupe,_Extremadura

Rev 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev 16:14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles...

any religion who does not follow the Bible and works miracles is another spirit, not the holy spirit.

2 Cor 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Cor 11:15 Therefore it is not a difficult thing if his ministers also be disguised as the ministers of righteousness;
whose end shall be according to their works.

Answer to the question. No. Don't pray to any creation. They cannot help you. They don't even know you are praying to them but God does.

1 Timothy 2:5

New International Version (NIV)

5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.

[h=3]Ecclesiastes 9:5[/h]New International Version (NIV)

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing;
they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.



WHY DO WE NEED ANOTHER ONE?

You can ask anyone to pray for you (... )

You can't ask the dead to pray for you though, and Mary IS dead. The question is not if we can ask someone to pray for us, but if it's ok to pray TO Mary. I say nay. (Romans 8:34)

Matthew 22:32
‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”

Matthew 27:52
and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

JESUS told us how to Pray and who to Pray to and that is the FATHER. No where in the Bible does it state to pray to Mary, she is just a vessel GOD used to fulfill HIS Promise.

Blessings!!!!!!! :")

If you had know the words that were said , Its says to pray for us sinners in our hour of need. So basically it is saying to pray for us since she's acceptable to God. But the feminist spirit is not separated from God, but it is actually the soft spot of God. Catholic assumed it is Mary since she had carried this Spirit in her that had given her these good qualities, and which one of these qualities is by staying with Jesus to the end and which that is a feminist spirit that is call Devotional.

But is Job is acceptable to pray for people?

Job 16:17
yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.

Job 42:8
So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and sacrifice a burnt offering for yourselves. My servant Job will pray for you, and I will accept his prayer and not deal with you according to your folly. You have not spoken the truth about me, as my servant Job has.”

No. It shouldn't be difficult to unstead either.

Moreover Mary can't be the mother of God. Jesus made this quite clear that anyone can be his mother or bretheren...

Wasn't Job ALIVE and HERE ON EARTH at this time?
