Should we celebrate Mother's Day in worship?

Ugh. One time I had a youth minister who doused himself in Old Spice.

Ugh. Stop already. Mamma would be mad.

 

Who does this? It looks to be an exaggerated claim used to demonize a practice based on personal preference.

 

Oh lets see

Note nothing here about using that day to honor your mother and worship her but the Lord because its a holy day not to be desecrated by worshiping your mother. Don't fall into the trap Aaron did

like the rest of the nation.

Or the fate will be the same as all the idolaters.

Note who of the catholics say they worship Mary? Of course people don't say that to support their idolatry.

 

How often do you keep the Sabbath?

 

I'm not rationalizing breaking the ten commandments like you are. A little discipline goes a long ways. I bet you put up the idols of the eagle on poles in your sancturary that holds the American flags too. I wonder if you have the christian flag idol in your sanctuary? And everytime someone raises their hands in praise I bet its in front of your eagle idol. So not only do you have special spring days of worshiping he goddess Gaia's avatars your worship a created creature in your services on a flag that represents the nation you live but not the kingdom you claim to be a part of. I bet you drive your car on the Sabbath huh? Create fire to do so thus disobeying the will of the Father. I bet after service on Sunday you get in front of your screen and shout in exstasy over 11 men dressed in the colors of your favorite afternoon god as they demonstrated the agility and power of the gods by moving a ball down a feild. You give your offerings to these gods so that you might obtain an image on a glass or mug or t-shirt - or index finger of that god. Shame for shame.

 

This silly boy appears to be playing devils advocate to defend Catholics who pray to Mary. As if his comparisons are equal.

 

He needs to take his Catholic apology back down to that thread and quit trying to derail this one.

 

Not true at all. Being silly yes. Catholic no. The Rev has catholics under every pillow and behind every door. I on the other hand enjoy taking the Mick.

 

Really?prove it

 

What's to prove? You claim people are Catholics that aren't like myself. Yes, I know a lot about Catholic belief. But I'm not a jesuit spy if thats what you think. And I'm definately not educated enough in theology to be an apologist so what do you have? Every time I take the mick you accuse me of being Catholic. I like pulling people chains at times. But of course I think you take things a little too seriously.

 

uh huh..........

 

Why don't you accuse me of being an atheist? After all I've defended evolution on this site. I compare the Genesis account to mythology. I've taken the mick once and said something to the effect that since God doesn't heal amputees it questions the validitiy of all claims. But of course you didn't call me an atheist. Why not?

 

oh no..you've backed me into a corner Why don't you provide the post in this thread where I called you a Catholic.

 

Good grief...the longer you're on here, the stranger your posts get.

 

Did you not say

and then make the same implication by stating

?

 

Everyone takes everything so seriously. I was taking the mick. I almost went down to the thread Politics and suggested that we create a society of two classes. 1) civilians and 2) citizens. Civilians have no rights but nothing is really required either. Citizens must serve in the military and are allowed to vote and can have children. Based on Heinlens book Starship troopers but decided to have fun up here instead. Who honestly has a problem with honoring mother's on mother's day? If I didn't get my wife flowers I would have ended up having to kick out the dog from his out door dog house.
