Praising my Savior all the day long!
Well he needs to read John, probably one of the most important gospels, it show Jesus divinity, and his miracles, and also ties Genesis 1 and John 1 that Jesus is God.

Catholics don’t believe they are praying to the dead. It’s based on 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." Catholics believe that if you die in Christ then you are living forever in Christ If you don’t and go to hell, then you are dead, if you make it to Purgatory then you will be refined and they believe you eventually get to heaven. They believe you can ask people in heaven to pray for them, the same as I can ask anyone living on the earth to pray for me.
That was pretty much the answer I had gotten from my boss, who went from Church of Christ to Catholic when got married. The last couple of years before he suddenly passed, he was getting more vocal (in a suttle way) in getting people to Jesus. Especially those we knew weren’t saved. I’m still praying for those I worked with that aren’t saved. Can always tell those that aren’t.Catholics don’t believe they are praying to the dead. It’s based on Matthew 22:32.

That is not found as a practice in the bible anywhere. What is found is..."For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Tim.2:5)They believe you can ask people in heaven to pray for them,
The RCC has worked hard to replace Jesus with Mary or their saints
What promise is there in Scripture that those who pass on (excluding Jesus) hear us?Catholics don’t believe they are praying to the dead. It’s based on Matthew 22:32.

God has provided His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the mediator between man and God (1 Timothy 2:5). With Jesus Christ as our mediator, we can go through Jesus to God. Why would we want to go through a sinful dead individual, especially when doing so risks the wrath of God?
She didn’t bother to ask anymore, but Jesus did Change the Water into Wine as his mother asked.I've seen a lot of people lately making the same old heretical claims about Mary. They love to bring up the wedding in Cana. I tell them to look closely at the account because when Mary went to Jesus to say there was no more wine, all Jesus did was to say "Woman, what does that have to do with you and me? My hour has not yet come." He did exactly nothing else. Mary didn't bother trying any further, she had failed to move Jesus to act. She went back to the servants and told them the wisest words to be found in The New Testament, "Whatever he says to you, do it."
This account concludes with the servants going directly to Jesus. Once they did that they were rewarded with the 5 best jars of wine in all existence! Mary living couldn't move the heart of Jesus to act on anyone's behalf. She has since entered her eternal rest, it not her job to hear out prayers, that belongs to Jesus, our Mediator.
Are you a practicing Catholic, Seashell?
Yes, for the most part and I don’t agree with the current Pope. In fact, I’m quite sure he’s a communist sympathizer. However, I stay because Jesus said that that the gates of hell shall not prevail and when Jesus says that it means that hell will be right in all of our churches, but they won’t win.Just curious Seashell if you are practicing in RCC as yeshua'sbride asked you back on Sept. 24th
Seashell there is a page in the Catholicism section that explains everything RCC believes doctrine wise and what biblical Christianity holds to by comparison , it is a very enlightening read.Yes, for the most part and I don’t agree with the current Pope

There is only ONE mediator between God and Man - Jesus. That is scriptureI need some help in explaining to a Catholic about this. They believe that Mary and the saints hear their prayers. I told them they cannot because they are dead, and that only God, Jesus & the HS hear them. Now they claim that God hears them for them bc they had God in their hearts. How can I explain to them in love this isn't so? Is there any scripture I can use?
Thanx
