So what is G-d like? I call on Him in my time of need sometimes He gives me what I want sometimes He don’t.my first husband was murdered, but not until after he was saved, my second husband and I got a divorce anyway. My son was born Autistic and I became a type I diabetic at the age of 8. I have been a drug addict in my life time after salvation and delivered same with bulimia. My dad right now as I type is in the hospital had a foot amputated. My dad is saved and he will be made whole. G-d is beautiful. I have had good jobs, I have had great jobs, and I have had no jobs. All the same G-d is good!!! If He never did anything in this life time but for same strange reason reveal Himself to me so I could be save that was more than enough. But He did and so much more. When I am done with life on life’s terms I tell Him you must carry this burden, I cannot, you told me to cast it on You, you have to take it. He does. When I tell Him I can’t make it to the other side He reminds me He is in the boat. He may seem like He is sleeping, but the point is He is in the boat and I make it every time to the other side. G-d is beautiful. I wish I loved Him a 3rd of how much He loves me. He is faithful to me I don’t really know why except that is His character. He walks with me in the cool of the day and hold me in the heat of the night. He has so many of my tears collected in His bottle, and every time bends His ear down to just listen to my prayer. He is beautiful. He has delivered me from the things my flesh desires so I won’t sin against Him, yet there is one thing still holding out on for deliverance. Just like Him so I will come after Him more. I know Him He will deliver me then. But He waits on me and that is my Dad….. so beautiful.

John 2:5
[SUP]5 [/SUP]His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”

Even Mary said we are to do what Jesus says. Never did Mary ever say we are to do what she said.

Enough said!

which is exactly what Catholics say and do as they did - they went to Jesus through Mary - again this slipshod/careless reading of scriptures causes problems especially with no one to guide and correct - wincam

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.


He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

In him and through faith in him we may
approach God with freedom and confidence.

I don't see anything about Mary there. Not that I would expect to ;)

Jesus is the only way to heaven for several reasons. Jesus was “chosen by God” to be the Savior (1 Peter 2:4). Jesus is the only One to have come down from heaven and returned there (John 3:13). He is the only person to have lived a perfect human life (Hebrews 4:15). He is the only sacrifice for sin (1 John 2:2; Hebrews 10:26). He alone fulfilled the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17). He is the only man to have conquered death forever (Hebrews 2:14–15). He is the only Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). He is the only man whom God has “exalted . . . to the highest place” (Philippians 2:9).

Jesus spoke of Himself as the only way to heaven in several places besides
John 14:6. He presented Himself as the object of faith in Matthew 7:21–27. He said His words are life (John 6:63). He promised that those who believe in Him will have eternal life (John 3:14–15). He is the gate of the sheep (John 10:7); the bread of life (John 6:35); and the resurrection (John 11:25). No one else can rightly claim those titles.
Is Jesus the only way to Heaven?

You really need to read the Scriptures wincam instead of relying on your wisdom. Jesus NEVER said we are to go through Mary. Besides if we do have to go through Mary how can we do that today seeing as Mary is dead and in the grave?

By claiming we have to go through Mary you are calling Jesus AND God a liar wincam.

John 14:6
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

What you are doing wincam is calling Jesus a liar. We go through Jesus only, to teach we go through Mary is a lie from Satan. Is that who you worship wincam, Satan? Also by teaching we go through Mary you are affirming that Mary is your God.

Again wincam, why are you listing to and worshiping Satan as your God? Could it be you are a wolf in sheep clothing?

Matthew 7:15
[SUP]15 [/SUP]“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

I do believe that you are a false prophet doing the will of your father who is Satan wincam.

In every way shape or form Jesus is what God is like. And if you avoid a relationship with Christ you miss out on what God is like. It's a matter of drawing nearer and being drawn threw a hunger that surpasses all personal desires. Let's start with God is love. God defines Love not love defining Him. God is Spirit. And this Spirit was breathed into man making Him a living soul. Lastly God desires that no man should perish. As much as people chose there course in life to DEFY Him, His grace can pardon all offenses through forgiveness of sins.

I see God as the creator of the Universe, which is 156 billion light-years wide. In His infinite greatness and goodness, He controls the movement of galaxies without neglecting poor little children who pray to Him.

How can a person who claims to be a True Child of God teach we are to go through a sinner to come unto Jesus who is God? How can anyone believe we must go through Mary who was born a sinner, in order to reach God?

This is Paganism. By claiming we have to go through Mary is worshiping Mary as their God which is nothing more than Paganism.

This is why the Roman Catholic Church today is a false church.

John 14:6
[SUP]6 [/SUP]Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

Only through Jesus, not through Mary.
