who gives a s**t. about his intent to convert people it's all still christianity is it not? besides i did that except for the part about "i regect catholosism"
I figured it was monotonus lip service bullshit all on my own and left i dodn't feel the need to tell God what i thought of catholosism because i think he already knows it is lip service and bullshit. (no offence to the catholics on here i don't begrudge yuo just the system of multiple gods you follow.)

I'd just like to add two things
1: the direct dig at catholics was uncalled for.
2: if the prayer had been "i regect Islam/Bhudism/santansism/secular humanism/protestamtism/ect. you guys wouldn't be complaining.

Again, we don't worship multiple Gods.

Saints/Mary: Honor and Remembrance for their martyrdom.

Trinity: They're all one God. He just reveals himself in many ways.

God (all three manifestations): Love, Faith,Adoration and worship, because we believe you can only give Love faith, adoration and worship to God alone.



and: If the prayer was like that, I'd still be offended because everyone has a right to choose their religion. And contrary to popular belief, Catholics and other sects of Christianity are at peace actually. I read it in Wikipedia. Please, we're all Christians here. My point is to prove we're not anti-christs. If I was an anti-christ I wouldn't be here praising God and Jesus Christ.

I was give a book about the saints when i was young giving me thier history adn what i should pray to them for. (i rest my case) also the fraking "Hail Mary" isn't exactly praising jesus or God. i'm not saying that your religion is wrong i'm just saying i don't agree with it and thats why i left.

It's okay, at least your'e Christian. Hail Mary is like this:

You wanna ask dad that is it okay to use the car. But since it's not easy for you to persuade him all on your lonesome, you ask help from mom.

But since Christ is our mediator, why pray through anyone else? God is loving and full of forgiveness, we have nothing to fear of Him and we can trust that He will listen to us.

I agree. I dont believe what you said is true about God. First of all, you don't need to persuade God. He knows what you need and when you need it, and what you don't need. If you pray for something to happen, for example, and it doesn't happen, it's because God either needs it to happen or he feels it doesn't need to happen yet.

Like with Job, God allowed him to go through all that hardship because Job wasn't learning his lesson. It wasn't because Job couldn't persuade him.

And, personally, I think it's silly to pray to someone who is mortal. I mean, if that's what you choose to do, I can't stop you. But where in the Bible does it say to pray to Mary if you can't persuade God?

as my friend (who was catholic) explained to me

Quote:
you are not really supposed to pray to the saints, but throught them. I don't like it though, too many people don't understand it and it becomes more of idol worship than it does praying to the Lord...


basically she did not like that, or all of the traditions followed... or a few other things, which is why she no longer claims catholic as her religion.
