Yes, I do.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
You are, no ifs, ands, or buts about it.
Yes, I said that, already. Not the problem I have with it.
Which she cannot do because she can't hear you, let alone understand you
Your theology's interpretation of the "cloud of witnesses" in Hebrews 12:1 is different than mine. I see Hebrews 12:1 as confirming the Catholic idea that the saints in heaven can "witness" us, since they are "witnesses". It does not strike me as unreasonable if these witnesses can
hear, and not just
see.
; by doing so, you replace the ONE mediator between God and man, the Man Christ Jesus, with Mary, placing her on the pedestal of Mediator rather than God, making it idolatry.
You should be praying to Jesus, asking HIM to be your intercessor, not Mary.
He's our mediator because He's our High Priest. I didn't want to say anything because you're arguing against yourself. He is our mediator because He's our Priest. That's how He's our mediator.
Mary is not our priest at all. She is the mother of Jesus, so she is the "Queen Mother" of all heaven and of all the universe, that's just semantics; just like she's the Mother of God; it's just semantic.
In other words, you're saying:
"Catholicism is infallible and unfalsifiable."
Nope, just that Catholics are immune from the charge of idolatry. That's the
last thing you can accuse us of, credibly. You accuse us of all sorts of other things more credibly than you can accuse us of idolatry. We're invulnerable to that charge specifically.
News-flash, Idolater, it's not, and that's a very dangerous position to have.
It's a good thing those aren't my words then.
Catholicism is certainly not unfalsifiable. That would be like saying that it's unfalsifiable that the presidency in Washington D.C. is the numerically same original office that President Washington held in 1793. It's obviously the same office, you can't falsify it because it's definitely the same office. It's not that it's unfalsifiable. It's just not falsifi
ed.
And as far as "infallible", I would not say that 'Catholicism is infallible', just that the authentically Apostolic teachings, and the Apostolically approved scriptures, are absolutely infallible, because they are of God, and not of man.
Irrelevant.
Wrong.
Simply by placing Mary in the place of Jesus as Mediator, you commit idolatry.
You DO commit idolatry, idolatry that has nothing to do with the Eucharist.
Well at least you're not calling the Eucharist itself idolatry I guess ... .
