This is horrible for two reasons I can think of immediately.
There are probably more.

1. Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand. When did he say this? When he was exorcising demons from persons and being accused that He was doing so by the power of Satan.

So when people pray to Mary, do you think they have God on their mind or Satan?


2. This is the mother of Jesus. What if someone called your mother Satan?
Ask forgiveness of her SON and have some respect!
That image is not the Mother of Jesus and praying to Mary is idolatry!

While this is completely off topic, the answer is "Neither". They have Mary on their mind, and that is not something taught in Scripture. To say anything more would derail this thread.

So just get back to roast pork or pork chops and offer an outstanding recipe. Just don't call it Mary's Recipe.

Your opinion of horrible not mine.
1. Rome's image of Mary is not Mary. It's just an image promoted as being Mary. God doesn't like idols. His house is not divided, He keeps it together.

Only one praying could answer that, however, when someone prays Hail Mary I'm sure they know they aren't praying to God.

2. No it's not the mother of Jesus, it's an idol. Once again, God doesn't like idols.

So this is a photo of Mary the handmaid of the LORD you say? nope it's just an idol.
What if someone called my mother satan? Well my mom is dead but when she was alive she would probably say that she had been called worse.

Your turn, what if someone called your mom satan and you a son of the devil?
As far as respect goes...... you should take your own advice!
Your posting on this thread is terrible.
I'm glad you post at night when I'm not around.

Our job as Christians is not to sit here and criticize and condemn and judge other Christians.
Our job is to share the Gospel with those who do not know Christ.
If a person is absolutely promoting idolatry, our job is stated in 2 Timothy 2:24-26;

"4 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful. 25 Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will."

But know this, be sure you are correctly using the Word of God towards someone who is promoting idolatry.
Otherwise, you will be the one guilty of causing strife within the body of Christ.

I'll derail this thread if I want to.

ANYONE who claims to be CHRISTIAN and is not insulted and harmed by that horrble post should rethink what being Christian is all about.

Forget about swine and pork hogs.
we're talking about Jesus' MOTHER.

And that, my dear follow, is much more important then swine.

I sometimes wonder if some persons even understand wha IDOLATRY is.
I'd say that they don't.
And they should find out.

And I'm not in favor of praying to Mary or any other saint,
But respect for Jesus' mother is absolutely necessary.

This is for YOU and for those who gave you a "like".

1. How do YOU know that image is not the mother of Jesus? Have you met her?
We have PLENTY of images of Jesus. Is that also idolatry?

MAYBE WE SHOULD ELIMINATE ALL IMAGES OF JESUS TOO?????

2. Who are YOU to say how anyone is praying to Mary? Why not post the different types of prayer and maybe we could go through each one. What business is it of yours how other Christians pray? Did Jesus authorize you PERSONALLY?

3. HYPOCRICY. To the limit.

YOU, who claim to be open minded and grace only with no works neeed, and all for FREEDOM IN CHRIST

are one of the few I've met on these threads WHO WILL CRITICIZE AND DEMEAN Others for what THEY believe.

WHERE IS THE GRACE?
WHERE IS THE FREEDOM IN CHRIST?

Well, do we have FREEDOM IN CHRIST or not????
Make up your mind.


4. THIS IS BLASPHEMING THE HOLY SPIRIT. Yes. Blaspheming, not grieving.

CAN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW?

I'll bet not anyone of you three could.
YOU
Grace777
GracethroughfaithinChrist

GRACE AND GRACE. Funny- You like to receive grace but you sure don't like giving it out.
TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH WILL BE REQUIRED.
YOU have been forgiven, how about showing some love for those whom YOU have to understand and maybe forgive.


THINK ABOUT HOW THIS IS BLASPHEMING THE HOLY SPIRIT.
If you can't figure it out,
scratch everything you know and start from the beginning.

How about you and some Others here stop MAKING FUN of persons who have thier own PERSONAL way of honoring God.

YOU should learn how to Honor God.
You sure aren't doing it now.

God’s Word is a Two-edged Sword. To most, it offends. To some, it heals.

Perhaps he looks like this.

Too much European Caucasian and not enough middle eastern Jewish in complexion and physiology. Image obviously created by an artist who reflected not genuine characteristics but cultural norms for the artist.

in Romans 14-22, Paul said to keep your beliefs about eating meat and drinking wine between you and God. so, in this case , both of you are in error. rare for dcon, common for you.

fran, if you would actually read the Bible from cover to cover, you might learn a little something. have a nice day.

You have said nothing here to edify the body of Christ.
How can you justify criticizing Fran?

Ever hear that verse before?

go read threw her posts, then get back to me. no one can edify the Body of Christ if they do not know the Bible. I quoted a verse about the subject of eating pork. so quoting verses is not edifying?? o.k. whatever.

Actually it refers to people and food. God Himself prophesied in Genesis 9:3 that there would come a day when eating anything will not be religiously wrong. The reason they had such physical rules in the Old Testament is because they were representations of the spiritual things to come in the New Testament. "The reality is found in Christ."

We no longer go by the physical rules of Moses, (Romans 7;1-4), but only by the spiritual rules of Christ- Who now has all authority over God's people today. (Matthew 28:18).

Amen. To eat is to do the will of the Creator. It what he created a stomach for ...to live.If we do not eat what he designed for these bodies of death they will die prematurely


I becomes eating the food of whose will? Satan as in the Garden? Or Emnanuel who walked with them as the faithful Creator ?


In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work Joh 4:31

How IGNORANT are you anyway?

Have you ever seen a BLACK JESUS?

Mary is represented according to the CULTURE that is representing her.

Have you ever travelled anywhere? Looks like you haven't.

FIND OUT SOME THINGS BEFORE YOU POST silly ideas.

gb9 is like that.
If someone doesn't agree with him, they don't know the bible.
Some Others think this too.

It's rather amusing to me, really.
I just pay no attention.

I DO WISH THEY would really understand the bible they CLAIM to have read.
