Praying to Mary is worshiping Mary

[robrecht]

so because he believes he is playing baseball is he really playing baseball?

No, but that is irrelevant to your claim that Catholics believe Mary is a god or whether or no they are lying.

This post does not address your inconsistency. Either the basketball player actually believes he is playing baseball (not sharing his parents' interpretation of what basketball and baseball are), in which case he is not lying, or he knows that he was playing basketball, interpreting it the same way as his parents, and he is lying to them. Applying your analogy to prayer, either the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Christians who pray to Mary do not interpret scripture the same as as you and thus do not believe Mary is a god. Or they do interpret scripture the same way as you and are thus lying when they deny worshipping Mary as a god. Alternatively, you could also say that only some are lying, but you would still need evidence to back up an accusation of lying.

No, your response is empty.

As usual your post #933 is empty.

Whilst you accuse me of being a heretic, I have the utmost confidence that you are unanimously voted as the only heretic here at TheologyWeb. Over numerous threads and posts you have demonstrated your inability to respond intelligently to 1 Chron 29:20 wherein it is explicitly stated that "all the congregation blessed the LORD God (YHWH) of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshiped the LORD (YHWH) and the king (David)".

Now, grasshopper, explain to us in plain English what 1 Chron 29:20 is telling us...which is not obvious in plain language...

Please stop your antagonism to Christan Scripture and actually answer a simple question...

same stupid argument...same old puke

and the same refutation that hammers it into the ground.

Despite your imaginations, you have never refuted the biblical evidence!!! Both the Hebrew and the Greek says explicitly that whatever occurred at the event, both YHWH and David received it in equivalence. The most common translation is "worship".

Zero passages presented where prayer is not worship.

Terrible job by you...again.

Terrible job on you!!! Apparently, you have recanted on your opinion that David had himeslf (was) worshiped in equivalence to the LORD GOD (YHWH) as scripture explicitly demands = 1 Chron 29:20 wherein it is explicitly stated that "all the congregation blessed the LORD God (YHWH) of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshiped the LORD (YHWH), and the king (David)".


Unfortunately, scripture refutes your basic premise on what worship is and to whom it is directed...it is simply a matter of linguistics. Unfortunately, you are too infantile to have a mature comprehension. Keep to the milk, it may make you prosper!

No, because by their prayers they believe she is.

Not if they do not share your interpretation of scripture. Make up your mind; you can't have it both ways.

[robrecht]

He does not believe he played basketball because he does not share his parents interpretation of it.

Then you must withdraw your false accusation that Catholics believe Mary is a god.
